[b]Shay[/b]

Shay's consciousness flowed in and out. At times, she'd open her eyes to see the trees; others, she would see the school. Once she finally opened them for good, she found herself in the clinic. She felt a soft mattress, unlike the hard woodland ground outside. Her vision was blurry and she had to keep blinking away tears. She heard a familiar cry and picked her head up from the bed. She hadn't been rolled into the clinic yet as they were preparing her a room. She saw Rose being rushed passed her with a team of doctors and James being restrained. She picked her head up higher but a horrendous pounding made her lay back down. "Rose...?" she tried to call but her voice was dim. "Rose?"
She looked up at Dalton and Lucy with confusion. "What's going on...?"                                                                                            She tried to get up but a doctor gently pushed hr back down. "Lay down, Shay, you're in a bad condition. Rose was shot. She's going to the ER."
"What?" she cried hoarsely and stared with pnaic. "How-"
The doctor gently pushed her back down as soon as she tried to sit back up. "Some creep," He finally replied after a long hesitant pause. "Shel'll be fine. She's in good hands." Shay stared wide-eyed and started trembling.
"I have to go see her-" The doctor sighed and hsook his head.
"Only when she's out of surgery. I'm sure you'll be behind James, too." He glanced over his shoulder to see him being restrained as he sobbed and wailed for Rose. Shay moaned and rubbed her head. She tried to move but her body would not cooperate. It felt like a thousand rocks were weighing her down. She was taken into a room and sniffled.  Her stomach was churning like the sea during a thunderstorm. She gritted her teeth. Rose had to be okay.... Shay didn't know what she would do without her best friend; or any of them, for that matter.
Her mind raced and the memories of tonight replayed quickly and sickeningly in her mind. It was hazy, though, due to being high. She swallowed hard and shut her eyes when doctors came in to treat her. She didn't want to answer their questions or anything. She waved them off when they tried asking her and ignored them. How the hell did the superior exist and how come their camp was nearby their school? What bullshit was that? She had to interrogate the guardians later.
