Chapter 5-

The Reyes family were surprised and relieved to find Nora in her bed asleep when they got back from looking for her. (They were ready to call the police when Milagro called from upstairs saying that Nora was in bed). Bianca woke her up and made her take a warm shower before she was allowed to go back to bed.

Now, Nora was sitting in a light green Ford on her way to her doctors' appointment with the rest of her foster family. She stared out the window as she replayed what happened the night before in her head over and over, a small smile formed by her lips.

After she had relaxed, the flying man had taken her home and wouldn't leave until she had fallen asleep. Even after, Nora could still feel his presence.

"Starla!"

The sound of Milagro's voice snapped Nora out of her musing. The 14-year-old looked at the 10-year-old and saw worry.

"Yeah?"

"We're here" Milagro tilted her head, "are you alright?"

Nora nodded before exiting the vehicle.


The family waited in their seats for the doctor to call them. Milagro and Jaime were playing 'I Spy', Bianca and Alberto were talking quietly and Nora was writing in her secret diary that she took along.

Entry 98: February 17, 2017

Yesterday a storm came in and I had a panic attack. Someone got me through it but I don't know who. I think they were he was some sort of veteran because of how he held himself.

Whoever got me through the attack could fly. He had hard, metal-like skin and a gratty voice. I think that he had his fair share of seeing (or having) panic attacks because he knew exactly what to do.

I gotta go. Doctor's calling

The family followed a young American woman into a room and Nora sat on the med-bed while the rest of the family sat on chairs.

"I am Doctor Carn" the American introduced, "what seems to be the problem"

(AN: Blame my doctor. Every time I go he asks this. IT'S REALLY ANNOYING!)

"We're just doing the yearly check-up" Mrs. Reyes replied.

Dr. Carn nodded and checked Nora's eye reaction (she flinched slightly and her eyes watered but they dilated perfectly), ears, the knee thing (AN: Where doctors hit your knee with a stick), blood pressure (32/19) and glucose levels.

"Will the rest of you leave while I ask Nora some personal questions please" the doctor requested.

After the rest of the family left, the doctor asked Nora about reproductive stuff (AN: Not gonna write it) and Nora answered.

"Is there anything you want to talk about before I call your family back in?"

Nora debated on telling her about the panic attack but decided against it.

Nora shook her head, "nothing I can think of"

Dr. Carn nodded and called Nora's foster family back in.

"Other than having low blood pressure, Nora is healthy"

"How low" Mr. Reyes asked.

"about 50 percent lower than normal"

"Is that bad?" Milagro questioned in worry.

"Not if it is taken care of correctly"

"How do we bring the blood pressure up?"

"Eat a diet higher in salt, drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids, Limit alcoholic beverages (even though I'm sure you don't drink), drink more fluids during hot weather and while sick with a viral illness, such as a cold or the flu" the doctor explained.

They nodded and thanked her.

The family left and headed home.

Nora had a frown on her face, 'if I have LBP than how come I don't show any symptoms?'
