Chapter 4

I blinked a few times, but each time I opened my eyes it got weirder. I finally focused on Mark beside me as he was calling my name over and over.

"Do you know where you are?"

I looked past him, my eyes darting around behind him, expecting to see the dark walls of the asylum but seeing brighter, freshly painted walls instead. I started looking around more, taking in my surroundings. It looked like a hospital. A real hospital, not the asylum.

"Hannah, can you hear me? Do you know what happened?"

I opened my mouth to say, “I know that our first time just ended with you punching yourself and then disappearing into thin air,” but I stopped myself.

My throat was sore but that wasn't what stopped my words from forming, confusion was. I took stock of myself. My costume was gone, replaced by a hospital gown. I was lying in a hospital bed, crisscrossed with tubes. Machines beeped just behind me and Mark stood beside the bed, dressed like a doctor still.

"What the hell…?"

Before I could finish, the curtained walls surrounding us separated with a whooshing sound like a shower curtain and another doctor dressed just like Mark came in, with a nurse on her tail.

They were both in scrubs, the only thing telling them apart was the white coat the one lady wore. She introduced herself and the nurse with her and immediately started talking.

"Welcome back to us Hannah, you gave us all quite a scare arriving by ambulance all bloody and unconscious like you did. Mark here set us straight, although he threw us off at first as well, dressed as one of us and covered in what we originally assumed was your blood. Between him, and the medic who wheeled you in, we were able to rule all the blood out, thankfully. Halloween is a hell of an interesting night to work in the Emergency Room, let me tell you. You're very lucky someone at that party had an EpiPen on them and knew how to use it. How are you feeling?"

"An EpiPen? That's for allergies, right? But I'm not allergic to anything. I don't understand. I was just standing in the hall at the party, facing Mark right after we…"

I so did not want to finish that sentence, so I skipped right over it instead, "…and I blinked and now I'm here. What happened?"

Mark started to fill me in as the doctor and nurse took my vitals, checked me over, and kept injecting things from a tray into the IV bag hanging beside my bed.

How did I go from syringe shots on a waitress's tray to real shots and syringes, all in the blink of an eye?

I focused on Mark as they worked, trying to fill in the blanks.

"We weren't standing together in the hall; I did find you passed out all alone in the hall though. I just happened to see you go through that door and I followed you. It's a good thing I did, too, or it would have been too late.
