The hospital doors swung open and Angel rushed in carrying Buffy in his arms with Dawn running behind.
"Can somebody help us?" she yelled
"What happened?" a doctor asked
"She was getting-"
"She fell" Angel cut in
"What are those marks on her face?"
"I don't know, they weren't there before" Angel said looking confused
Angel put her on a nearby bed and checked her pulse, she was still alive. The nurse put her hand on Buffy's forehead.
"She's burning up. We need to get her to emergency, and I'm sorry, you can't come any further"
"But-" Dawn tried to argue
"No, I'm sorry you can't come any further" she repeated
She wheeled Buffy into emergency and then she was gone.
"I'll ring Willow, Xander and Giles" Dawn said
She walked off to the front desk. Half an hour later they all arrived, including Tara and Anya.
"Is she alright?" they all asked
"I don't know. They won't tell us!" Angel said frustrated
"She'll be ok, she's strong" Giles reassured him
"I have information about Miss Summers" the doctor said walking up to them
Angel jumped up from his seat.
"Well we don't know what happened to her face, but she's burning up because she's suffering from shock. Did anyone see what happened?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Can we go see her now?" Dawn asked
"Ok, but not for too long, she needs her rest"
She led them to Buffy's room.
"Remember, don't stay too long" she said as she walked off
They opened the door and saw Buffy lying in bed asleep.
"No, get me out of here!" she yelled as she woke up
"Buffy, it's ok" Angel whispered as he stroked her hair
"Where am I? What happened?"
"You had an accident and your now in hospital"
She sat up quickly, got out of bed and ran out the door.
"Buffy" Dawn yelled
Everyone ran out after her and for a minute it looked like she actually might escape. But when she reached the door, she collapsed.
The nurses grabbed her, put her on a stretcher and carried her back to her room.
