[b]Valentina Vetrov - Haywood - Shannon/Emma/Rob/O'Connor/Brianna[/b]

When it was all over and Valentina was given the medical attention she needs, in the form of a bandage around her head and stoppering of the bleeding in her nose, the girl was left to rest on her own. The handcuff was still on, and Valentina had to curl up closest to that bedpost, paralysed with fear due to how powerless and immobilised she had become, forever afraid that someone might come and hurt her, as illogical as her fear was.

In dealing with such fear and uncertainty, Valentina had shut herself off, and was staring blankly at whoever was on the other side of the room. With a hand sticking out awkwardly, she had to wrap her other arm around her legs and shrink herself down that way.

O'Connor, the doctor, did not seem to care, or at least tried to get the girl to lie down straight but gave up anyway when she wouldn't. Instead, he was busy with Brianna, fixing the slash wound around her stomach.
