Unsure how long she’d been out, it took Rose a minute to put together where she was. She was inside. Bright sunlight was shining in through a big window so it was still daytime...unless it was the next day, Rose couldn’t be sure. Looking down at her arms, there was an IV taped just beyond the crook in her left elbow. Sitting up in bed, Rose winced in pain, her ribs sore, her breathing still painful. Rubbing her right hand on her stomach, she found herself bandaged and taped, her midsection stiff. That was when Rose noticed it: the beeping. Looking down at her right arm, several sensors were stuck to it, their wires running down off the side of the bed. Looking past an IV bag to her left, Rose noticed a monitor on a rolling pole recording her vital signs, it’s digital display happily chirping away as her heart beat. The lights above her head were on, Rose noticed, the heart rate monitor picking up slightly.

The TV beyond the end of her bed was off, but Rose spied a remote on a table next to the bed and straining to reach it, turned the TV on. It didn’t matter that all she got was static, the fact that it even turned on was somewhat of a miracle to her. Turning off the TV and lying back on the pillow behind her head, Rose laughed softly to herself. It hurt, but it didn’t dampen her spirits. They’d made it. They’d made it back to humanity, back to civilization.

They. A jolt of fear shot through Rose. Where was Jamie? Did she survive? She’d been bit! Rose needed to find her before she lost her like she’d lost Kate.

Rose’s thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of a nurse. A dark-haired hispanic woman of about 40 or so, she was slightly overweight but only just and wore the traditional green scrubs associated with a hospital. She was carrying a tray with food on it: a cup of ice water, an apple and what looked like pasta with red sauce. Noticing that Rose was awake, the nurse gave her a smile, placed the tray down on the table next to Rose’s bed, turned and left without a word. Finding that behavior odd, Rose eyed the food on the tray. It looked harmless enough, but she wasn’t going to take any chances. Rose needed to find Jamie. She could eat later.

Pushing back the covers of the bed, Rose found she was wearing a pale blue patterned hospital gown, all of her clothes gone. Looking around the room, Rose didn’t see them anywhere. Gritting her teeth, she swung her legs over the side of the bed, the pain in her chest was intense. Any movement seemed to make her dizzy, her head swimming. Panting as if she’d just finished running rather than merely sitting up, Rose decided to rest on the edge of the bed before continuing on.

Before she was ready to move, the door to Rose’s room opened yet again.
