Even though Emma was now awake Shalimar still couldn't find the courage to go into her room at the ICU ward. Instead she sat outside in the waiting room letting the others go in and visit while she tried to fine the strength. At the moment Brennan was in with Emma and Shalimar sat outside. She stood up when a doctor walked into her room and Brennan came out moments later.
"She doesn't remember." He said.
Shalimar's forehead wrinkled. "What?"
"She asked why you or Adam hadn't been in to see her yet." He explained.
"She still thinks that Adam's alive?" Shalimar asked shocked. "What did you tell her?"
"I didn't tell her anything. I called for a doctor and explained to him." The elemental told her. Just then Jesse and Teagan walked upto them. They breifly explained to them before the doctor called them into Emma's room.
Shalimar took a deep breath before stepping into the room. If Emma still thought that Adam was alive them maybe she wouldn't remember everything that had happened between them. Upon stepping in the room Emma flashed her a weak but happy smile.
"Hey, I've been wondering where you were. Where have you been?" She asked weakly.
Shalimar smiled down at her. "Im sorry. I'm here now though." She said not wanting to explain why she hadn't been in sooner.
Emma lifted her head slightly and looked past the feral towards the door. "Who's that with Jess? I saw her earlier but I was too tired to ask." Emma whispered.
Shalimar turned to see Jesse standing with Teagan. "Um, I'll explain later ok." Emma looked at her. Her surface emotions were all jumbled but she could sense that the feral was confused. Yeah, well she's not the only one. The psionic thought to herself. Seeing the doctor walk back into the room Emma tried to sit herself up a little bit more.
"Okay Emma. From what your friends are telling me there's a little bit more to your head injury than we thought." The doctor explained. "I'm just going to ask you a few questions okay? And I want you to answer them as best as you can." Emma nodded and the doctor began.
"Can you tell me what day it is Emma?" Emma's forhead crinkled in confusion and Shalimar squeezed her hand hoping to offer some support.
"How about a date then?" The doctor asked seeing Emma confused.
"Um late April 2003" Emma said sounding quite sure of herself. Shalimar turned and looked at the doctor worried.
The doctor scribbled a few things down before looking back up. "Very interesting." He mumbled to himself. "Okay I need to learn a few more details before I can diagnose anything. Which of you has been closest to Emma during the past two years?" He asked, looking at Brennan next to him. Brennan pointed to Shalimar and he guided the feral out of the room.
Emma looked at the door then back at Brennan, then to Jesse and the pregnant woman she didn't know. Why the last two years. And sure me and Shal are close but I would say that Brennan knows me better than anyone else. Why is everyone looking at me like I've grew two heads. Instead of driving herself crazy with her thoughs Emma decided to question them.
"What the hell is going on?"
Outside the room Shalimar stood talking with the doctor.
"Miss Fox has there been any incidents in the last two years that Emma has found traumatic or distressful."
Shalimar swallowed the lump in her throat, "Um, a close friend of hers was killed and she was with him at the time. I know that after that she went through hell. I haven't been there much the last two years but from what she told me, she was finding it hard to cope."
"Okay. She obviously doesn't remember anything from the last two years, and this is very unusual. Her head injury wasn't that severe but her mind has blocked out the last two years. And I'm assuming that her friends death has a big part in it."
Yeah and I bet her psionic abilities has something to do with it aswell. The blonde thought.
