The nurse left the room. Anshi had so many questions. She didn't understand
anything, yet she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something
familiar about Nurse Tokiko. Like she met her before, but it was just a
feeling.
The dark princess glared at the beeping heart monitor beside her bed. She heard the door open and watched a dark-haired man clad in white walk into the room carrying a clipboard. "Good morning" the man said smiling and grabbing the girl's arm. "I am Dr. Mamoru and I am glad you finally woke up after being in a coma for so long," he spoke while examining her body.
"How do you feel?" he asked her flashing a small light into her green eyes. "A bit weak, groggy, and confused but otherwise fine," she mumbled opening her mouth so the doctor could look at her throat.
"Nurse Tokiko said you have some questions for me, please do ask, I will try my best to answer them" the doctor replied now checking the IV bag.
"Yeah, ummm...where am I? She asked. "You're at Hou'ou Medical Hospital."
"Hospital," she whispered. "How did I get here?" The doctor looks away from the confused girl and then replied with a sad look in his dark eyes. "You were in a train accident."
"Train accident?" She said softly looking at her hands. "How long have been here in this 'hospital'?" she asks. The doctor walked to the heart monitor avoiding her question. "Do you remember anything?" he asks her. She frowned trying to remember "No I can't remember anything, gomen" she replies.
"Do you remember your name?" Anshi looked at the ceiling for an answer to that question. "Gomen nasai, I can't remember anything" her voice sad and frustrated.
"Well, your name is Himemiya Anshi." "You are 16 years old." The doctor sighs deeply. "You have been comatose for 8 years.
"Comatose....8 years....ahhhh......I don't remember any of this" she pushes her head back in the pillow and closes her eyes tightly.
"Ummm....doctor what do you mean by comatose?"
"It means basically you were unconscious or in a 'sleeplike state' for eight years. "Your medical records states that you had some serious head injuries when you were first brought into the hospital. "Your injuries healed, but you never woke up."
"Do you remember the accident?" the doctor asked Anshi sighed deeply "No."
Dr. Mamoru holds her quivering hand "Don't stress too much. Memory loss is normal for comatose patients. You will regain your memories with time.
"I am going to call your father, he's going to be ecstatic to hear your recovery after all these years" the doctor left the room.
"My.....my father" she whispered.
Anshi lay in the bed thinking about what the doctor told her. "I am Himemiya Anshi. I am 16 years old and I've basically been asleep for 8 years.
"I guess I have no choice but to just believe the doctor, for I know nothing of my life" she takes a deep breath and turns her head toward the table beside her bed. "What's this?" she reaches for a book on the table.
"Fairy Tales: A book of Make Believe" she reads the title aloud softly. She notices a book marked page and flips to that page.
Anshi starts to read the page aloud softly to herself.
'Grab my hand princess or you will fall to your death' the dashing prince yells at the young woman clinging for dear life. 'Hurry princess the ledge is breaking and the evil sorcerer will be here soon' the prince yells louder at her.
Anshi starts to feel eerie, but she reads on.
'Why do wish to save me prince, I use to be a bitter witch before...' the prince interrupts the princess. 'But you are not a witch anymore; the kiss we shared broke the spell. 'Hurry, grab my hand.'
The princess reaches for the prince's hand and then she yells 'Behind you prince!' The prince turns his head and notices....
The door to the room opens and a tall man walks in carrying a bouquet of roses.
"You always enjoyed reading fairy tales when you were little," he said smiling at Anshi.
Upon hearing the deep voice, the dark-skinned girl breaks away from her reading and looks at the man. The man approaches her bed and hands her the red roses. Without hesitation she takes the roses and inhales the sweet fragrance.
