Emily watched Nurse Janette working on Mia's hand and felt the bile rise into the back of her throat. "I will be in my room" Emily said, running down the hallway with her hand over her mouth. She made it to her bathroom just in time. With her stomach now empty, she rinsed her mouth with water and laid on her bed waiting for the waves of nausea to subside.
Emily was running down the hallway toward a lighted door at the end, but it never got any closer. Pain seared through her hand and she stopped running. She brought her hand to her face and screamed a silent scream at all the blood and glass poking out of it. She turned around to run back to her room, but there was only a wall behind her. She put her bloody hand on the wall, and the red wallpaper turned liquid, and ran down the wall onto the floor, pooling at her feet. A buzzing filled her ears as she turned from the bleeding wall, and the door at the far end of the hall opened. Dr Mythe stood there staring at her. The buzzing changed to a man screaming in agony. The Doctor put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a syringe. Emily felt true terror and wanted to run away, but had nowhere to go. The doctor began to walk toward her with the syringe "This won't hurt a bit" He said. Emily hammered her fists on the walls yelling for help, but no sound came out of her mouth. The doctor was halfway there. Emily pleaded for someone to save her as she fell to the floor and huddled in the corner. She curled herself in a ball and covered her face. The hallway fell silent. Emily peeked out from between her fingers. She was in total darkness. She stood up and felt for the wall, but her hand only found a cold metal rail. She took a step forward and felt the ground drop out from under her as she tumbled down.
Emily woke with a start and sat up. She had fallen off her bed. She looked at her hand, but it was fine. She flexed her fingers expecting pain, but there was none. She got up from the floor and sat on the bed hugging herself, trying to relax after her bad dream. Nurse Janette would be in soon to check on her, and she didn't want to look like something was wrong.
