Chapter 6
I woke with a silent groan. My head was pounding like a drum and my stomach stung as if I was being struck by a thousand needles. When I was finally able to open my eyes I had to close them quickly, because it was making my head hurt more and my eyes burn. I heard someone enter, but was unable to move anything more than my eyelids. I waited until the person was leaning over me and blocked the glaring lights. I opened my eyes and watched her react in shock. The person, who I now identified as a nurse, moved out of my view forcing me to shut my eyes, to block as much of the light as possible.
I waited at the woman fled, probably looking for a doctor of something. I began to wonder what I was doing in a hospital. What reason did a government funded organization have to help me, especially after I accidentally hurt a handful of their agents? I only had a few moments of thought before someone entered the room. I began to "mumble" as the person approached; a second or two later the person leaned over my head, I had stopped mumbling just before he/she stopped next to me. She touched my forehead; my eyes snapped open and I glared at her, but the glare didn't seem to affect her at all.
"What's your name hun?" the blond haired Asian looking woman asked me. I simply closed my eyes, refusing to look at her. She looked at me a bit confused, before saying, "Can't move huh? Hmm, I think I have something that may help, but tell me do you want me to turn the lights off? Open your eyes for yes but, leave them closed for no." my response was to open my eyes, as quickly as possible, before shutting my eyes as she moved out of my sight. "Alright be patient, it will take me a couple of minutes to get. I'll turn the lights off for now though." With that she flicked off the lights, and left.
I had relaxed, but after a few minutes the woman returned, along with a nurse. She left the lights off, and walked over to me. With the nurse's help, she got me into a semi-sitting position and got me to drink the nasty-tasting drink. "There, you should have full movement by morning." She continued as the two laid me back down, "As such you should get some rest, and I will see you in the morning." She turned and left, and I quickly fell asleep, intending to get away as soon as possible, tomorrow night most likely.
The next morning, I woke in full awareness of my surroundings, and quickly sat up, surprised at two things: one it was still, sort of, dark and I could move with as much ease as I had before. I got up and wandered around the room until I found the restroom, which I quickly took advantage of. Once I had relieved myself I returned to my "bed", but I did not climb back in. I started stretching all of my muscles, since they hadn't been used I a while (a couple of hours is a pretty long time to my body). I heard a group of people heading down this way so, just to be on the safe side, I clambered back into my bed and lay back down.
