Sara woke up in a hospitial bed. She looked around the hospitial and got up as if there was no pain at all. She walked out of the room and walked down the halls. Now something really wasn't right because Doctors nor Nurses noticed her walking around the busy halls. As she wandered the halls suspiciously as she constantly saw a figure that was almost ghostly in appearance watch her.
She then stopped by a room with a familiar face ; her own. She felt as if her heart shattered, this couldn't be the end, could it? She entered, unnoticed by Sherlock or John who were waiting patiently.
"Dad? John?" She called as she looked at them. What was going on? "Guys?" She tried again and getting no reaction.
"They're not going to hear you" A voice told from behind her, the figure from before. Sara turned around "Who are you? What in the world is going on?" She questioned.
"You're dying to put it in logical terms... but you're clearly fighting to stay alive" The figure answered gingerly.
"Who are you?" Sara asked.
"I am Amara" She introduced. Sara pondered for a moment "But-"
"I'm dead? True, but I've been watching you closely. You've done so much that I'd be so proud of" She smiled.
"But that doesn't make sense... you possibly can't be real!" Sara exclaimed "The paranormal does not exist!" she asked.
"Anything is possible with an open mind Sara... trust me on that much" Amara replied gingerly "This is difficult to process I'm sure, but Mr. Pasquantonio deserves what he's getting for playing god"
"Oh..." Sara looked down "But that also means..."
"Unfortunately he is dead also... but you found a loving family despite their imperfections. You love them unconditionally. You deserve to be with them Sara... you need to wake up" She told her gently. Sara looked back at her unconscious body and then to John and Sherlock who looked restless.
"I want to be with you though. We can be together as a family. Isn't that what you want?" She asked. Amara took Sara's hands in her own "You deserve to live a fulfilling life Sara. In due time we'll meet again" she put a hand to her cheek and sighed softly and Sara hugged her "I'll miss you..."
"I'll miss you too my little poppy" Amara hugged back and before Sara gasped awake in the hospitial bed. Nurses helped her try to calm her down as Sherlock looked up at Sara and went to her side, holding her hand tightly. Sara's breath shallowed slightly as they removed the respirator gently.
"Would you like anything to drink ma'am?" She asked kindly. She turned to Sherlock and signed 'Water' to him.
"Water would be great thank you" Sherlock replied to the nurse as she ran off to get some. John stood and gave a sympathic smile "I'll leave you two alone... I have to go check on Rosie anyway" he told them before leaving.
Sara sighed softly as the nurse came back with a cup of water, giving it to her and left.
Sherlock looked at Sara and hugged her gently and she hugged back "you worried me. I'm just happy you're ok. I almost lost you then I wouldn't know what to do" He let go gingerly and Sara took a sip of water, placing it on the table afterwards. After a moment of thinking about her words carefully before replying with "I'm sorry I made you worry about me. I know that it's alot and I want to help makes things right" she gave a light smile.
Sherlock then rebuttled with "You've done what you can Sara. You need to rest and recover. Let John and I handle this ok?"
"Okay" She nodded as Sherlock got a text from John saying 'Rosie is okay. You coming back soon?'
'Going to get prognosis on Sara's condition-SH'
A Doctor walked in "Mr. Holmes may I speak with you"
Sherlock nodded and stood, walking out of the room.
"Sara will be just fine... fortunately the bullet didn't hit her in a major artiery or organ. She should be able to leave within the next couple of days depending on our testing. Are there any concerns that you'd like to address that should be investigated?" He asked.
"Her head for brain damage, you know the usual. Why am I telling you this? And you call yourself a doctor" he scoffed and walked back inside and got to Sara's side "I have to go but I'll come back tomorrow" he kissed her head and Sara nodded before he left.
After like what seemed like hours of testing, Sara's friends and swim team walked in and said hi. Sara grinned slightly "What are you guys doing here? Isn't the swim meet in a few days... you should be practicing" she grinned.
"We wanted to visit" Alice, a swim mate replied and placed flowers on the night stand "besides, coach let us" Sadie added.
Lauren smiled "How are you feeling?"
"Exhausted and bored out of my mind. They just finished testing and I'm waiting on results" Sara chuckled.
Brianna then walked over with a giftbag "This should hold you over for a while" She laughed and gave it to her. Sara opened the bag and pulled out a big book of crosswords and pens as well as some drinks. Sara smiled "That's very kind. Thank you" she replied and placed it to the side. Damian walked in with some flowers. The team left and Sara's friends followed.
"Hey. Did I interrupt something?" He asked.
"No, they have to go to practice anyway" Sara replied simply.
"I met your dad on the way here... and he's excited or at least seemed it about me taking you to Prom" He told her.
"At least he likes the idea of me socialising" she laughed a bit before sighing. Damian nodded and gave her the flowers "See you later?"
"Yea" She nodded as he left.
