Chapter Text
Slits of white entered the dark. It started to flutter like the shutter of a camera, then, a single beat and a gasp escaped her lips and her eyes shot open to see the light in full. Her heart was like a woodpecker beating away at a tree. Her eyes darted everywhere and she wasn't quite sure where she was. She felt like crying, she was so confused. She had figured it was from a cloudy mind due to the blow to her head a -was it a few hours ago? Mm...she wasn't sure about that either.
“I feel so - ugh - stiff!” she said to herself. Moving her fingers gently, they popped and cracked. Definitely not a nice sound. She gingerly curled her hand into a fist, one finger at a time, making sure to move gingerly as to not hurt herself. Damn! That hurt. Her face contorted at the pain, but even that hurt.
She breathed out a shallow sigh, deciding she should sit up at least, even if it was painful. She could feel her back pop and crack internally with each inch. She was so dizzy and as she rose she thought her back, for a second, was pencils snapping. She was halfway up when she heard a loud sound. It was quick and sharp. An ‘eep’? No, it was an ‘Ah’! A scared person? With the second it took to think of that query she darted her eyes over just as fast. There was a metallic clattering sound, she didn't know what it was and she didn't bother to look. There was a person there! Finally someone can tell her what's going on.
The woman in the white lab coat seemed startled by her, and slightly confused. But mostly scared. “She's so pretty!” thought the newly reborn woman.
She started to blush,”so...pretty.” she stated to herself. She smiled warmly, feeling warmth spread through her cheeks.
“I haven't felt like this in what feels like- a lifetime ago.”
