Inspiration, Love, and Gangrene

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters, props, or diseases on House, M.D. But if I did, I would be several steps further in my and my friends plan to dominate the universe and House. I would also do…interesting things to House and Chase.

A/N: This fan-fic is about a character like me, except meaner. Also there's a slight Chase/Cam thing going on. And House finds the person almost completely like him. I won't give anything else away, except that I spent two hours looking up medical terms, so I'm sorry if it's not perfect but I'm no doctor. And I'll try really hard not to stop my story like I did with Harry Potter. Poor thing.

Prologue

"I'm going outside for a walk!"

"Okay, Sammy, just bundle up!" Sammy Perkins pulled on her hooded parka and snow boots, but too late realized that she forgot her extra-thick socks. But she was too excited to go outside during the big blizzard to care that she didn't have enough protection on. She stepped outside into the whirling snow-storm and peered down at a cracked thermometer own the back porch and gave a low whistle as she noticed that the temperature had dropped to -10 degrees.

That frozen morning, she played outside in the snow and wind for hours on end. Finally at noon, her mom called, "Time for lunch! I made hot tomato soup and nice warm cocoa, just the way you like it."

"Coming!" she called back, and ran inside. As soon as Sammy got in the door and shut out the snow, she started peeling off layers of clothes until she was down to her light sweater, sweat-pants, and thin socks. Suddenly, she received a sharp pain in her left foot. Ripping off her sock, she looked down at her toes and gasped at the discoloration of skin from peachy-white to completely black. Sammy calmly said to her mother, "Mom, I think you need to call an ambulance," and fainted.

House theme song (if you want, you can sing it to yourself)

At the Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, House was busy as usual running from Cuddy for some God-be-known reason. In the process of doing so, he got in the way of one of his interns and Sammy. "If you'll excuse me, I have to run for my life and clinic duty," he chattered angrily (they were in the way, after all).

"But, Dr. House-" the intern cried worriedly.

"No time, just move!" he said back. At this point in time, Sammy yelled, "bite me" and stuck out her tongue at House. With no insult on hand, since he was distracted, House merely stuck his tongue back out at the girl, pushed past them and hurried on his way. A few seconds later, Cuddy became visible at the far end of the hallway and ran toward the odd couple. "House, you get back here right this instant!" she screamed at the air in front of her. She quickly caught up with the intern and Sammy. "Clara, have you seen House?" she asked but before Clara could answer, Sammy spoke up.

"He went that way," she indicated the hallway behind them, "and went down the second hallway to the right."

"Thank you…" said Cuddy.

"Sammy."

"Sammy, it's been a pleasure."

A/N: Okay, that was kind of short, but I tried my best. Don't worry; I should have the next chapter on by tomorrow, or maybe even later tonight.
