mutilated skin, or the temperature would fluctuate so much that I'd feel the water burning. So naturally | set the

shower to cold in anticipation and turned it on slowly making sure to keep the water pressure to a minimum.

up.

“Goddess, did you get any sleep?!” He was quick to climb the small steps and stand in front of me, he raised his

hand to cup my cheek which | was actually starting to love him doing, however For sreason unknown to me,

“I slept a bit...” | ran my hand over my eyes out of exhaustion and shook my head then looked at his worried

gaze. “Don’t askif I'm ok...” | swallowed hard before walking to the door he just stepped through. “I'm fine,

seat on a small armchair that sut next to the bed and gaveyet another reassuring smile.

equipment over, my legs fell over the side and swung to and fro out of nervousness. The man was obviously a

medical professional before this new world, and got on quickly with the task at hand. He gently took my

temperature, blood pressure, he checked my pupils reaction to light stimulation, and even held my tongue down

with a small wooden stick. in order to check my throat.

“You had a tonsillectomy?” He enquired as he wrote up snotes on a clipboard.

“When | was 7.” | agreed with his statement quickly and he continued to checkover.

“Is there any other medical history | should be aware of? Was there? Should | tell him about the tI slit my

wrist? Or maybe the t| had my tooth knocked out of me? Those events weren't made public. Instead | shook

my head and sighed when he frowned. “Ok...” He quickly began to run his hands down the entire length of my

arms, pressing slightly every few seconds as if checking they were still working. When he got to my previously

burnt forearms he winced, running his thumb over the hideous scarring that now lay on them. “Did you have «
