Chapter 2

**********

Buffy woke up strapped to a bunch of machines. Still feeling groggy she called out," Spike? Spike? Where am I?" looking around the room she began to pull out the tubes and wires conecting her to the machines.

********************

"Doctor the patient in room 117 has flatlined," the nurse sitting at the station said.

"Well I better go check up on her. Whats her name, again?"

" Um," the nurse looked at the computer sceren," Buffy. Buffy Summers."

"Better call the parents and get them down here. Don't want a lawsuit on our hands if they weren't notified right away 'bout her being dead and all," the doctor sighed and walked off towards room 117.

*********************

By now buffy had all the wires out and was looking around the room for her clothes.

The Dr. walked in fully expecting a corpse, but instead found a very alive Buffy Summers wondering the room.

The doctor came right up behind buffy causing her to jump and slump down into the corner,"Miss. Summers, How long have you been awake? This must all be very traumatizing? Do you know where you are?"

'Which question do I answer first? Better question, What questions do I ask first?' buffy thought to herself," Um...a hospital?Sunnydale Mermorial?"

"No miss Summers. Your in a hospital, yes, but I've never heard of Sunnydale Mermorial. This is Los Angelas General. Do you remember what happened?"

Buffy shook her head.

"You were in an accident. You've been in a coma for 6 years. We were begining to think you were never going to wake up."

Buffy sighed uncomfortably," Well I did, didn't I. 6 years you say? So that would make me...about 27 years old, right?"

The doctor looked confused," Um.. no your 21 buffy."

"Thats impossible. You said 6 years. If I'm 21 then that would mean I've only been out a day or so. Where are Xander and Willow. They'll tell you."

The doctor furrowed his brow," Buffy I assure you you've been out for 6 years. I do not know this Willow or Xander. Your only relatives that I am aware of is your Mother and Father."

" Doctor you are confused. My mother is dead. She died about 9 months ago. I've been taking care of my sister Danw she must be so worried. And Giles......" Buffy proceded to tell the doctor the past 6 years of her life in sunnydale.

"I see. As soon as your parents arrive we can suss this out. I have to go speak to the nurse. Rest while I'm gone."

"But doctor you still haven't...." she trailed off as he walked out the door,"what happend...okay then. Rest."

************************

"Doctor the family said they'd come around 4:00. They said its to hard right now..." the nurse said once he returned to the front desk.

"Get them back on the phone. Tell them," he looked down," Tell them shes awake."

The nurse looked shocked,"Yes doctor right away."
