Iris chuckled when he spoke of disliking hospitals too, he was right they were kind of creepy and there was a stench of sickness which was always unsettling. “I’ll hold you to it.” Speaking softly as she watched him gather his phone, glancing up when she saw the nurse enter the room once more. It didn’t escape her the fact she had bowed but what was interesting was his full name, hadn’t he said it was Cas? It seemed like it was shot for Caspain and for some reason that seemed familiar. Caspain. Where had she heard it before?
“Thank you again Cas, hope your dad isn’t too hard on you!” Smiling as she watched him leave the room fell silent, it was strange, and the feeling of loneliness began to settle in. He had been right; the company was a nice touch as now she was alone left to struggle with broken thoughts and memories.
Where have I heard your name? Why do I feel like I know it? Closing her eyes as she hoped it would spark something. Caspain… Cas… who are you? Grimacing as she felt a pounding in her head, she could feel the headache creeping up on her. Sighing she knew it was probably best to go get some rest, there was nothing more she could do for now other than hope her memories would return.
Pulling up the blanket over herself she shifted in the bed, settling down beneath the soft fabric and sighing with relief as she felt her head hit the pillow. She hadn’t realised how tired she was and not only her body, but her mind seemed to all be in agreement, within moments of closing her eyes resting in the bed she had fallen into a light slumber. Chest slowly rising and falling in rhythm as the light slumber soon turned into a deep sleep. Rest was what she needed as it would start the healing process.

Sunlight beamed into the room warming Iris as she started to wake from her sleep, yawning as she opened her eyes greeted by the bright white walls it took a moment before she registered where she was. Rubbing her eyes as she slowly sat up on the bed blanket falling down in a slump on her lap as she looked around the room, had she dreamt what had happened? No… I still don’t remember anything… she thought glumly to herself as she looked underneath the blanket at her leg. The bandages had stained red from the wound of the animal trap that she had been caught in hours ago, it was so strange to think how the trap had managed to cause so much damage. Wipe out her memories in an instant.
“Good morning Iris, how are we today?” One of the nurses called Jac had entered the room with the file, Dr Emett had gone home in the early hours of the morning for some rest before he would return later. “Any pain or discomfort?”
“Ah, good morning.” Startled Iris looked towards the nurse that had entered, for a moment she had completely forgotten where she was. “Oh, just a dull ache in my head. The leg is worse, but I assume that is to be expected?” Questioning slightly as she held back another yawn behind her hand, regardless on the fact she had slept it had still been quite the long night.
“Of course, it’s natural.” Jac smiled moving inside the room placing the file down, moving the blanket she looked at the girls’ leg noting the stain of blood on the bandages. It was natural with the healing process and she had expected to change the bandages over today. Moving over to one of the cupboards she pulled out some fresh bandages and something to clean the wounds with, this was to ensure no infection would happen which could worsen things. “Let me clean everything once more, rebandage it all. This will help stop any sort of infection.” Talking through what she was doing she always found it eased patients to know what was going on each step, it was also a way to get them to open up and talk.
“Oh, of course. I don’t suppose any family have asked about me?” Iris asked softly as she watched Jac undo the bandages, this was the first time she had seen the wound and she was curious. However, it might have been best not to see it, grimacing as she saw the slightly mauled skin and marks of the trap, she knew it would scar once healed. Not that it bothered her, but she couldn’t help but think on it. Flinching as she felt the solution touch the wound, she couldn’t help but gasp as her leg jolted, it was clear Jac had expected it because she held the leg in place and continued to work. Soon having it bandaged back up all fresh.
“I’m afraid not, sorry.” Jac looked over at Iris and motioned to check on the head wound this time, doing the same as what she had done with the leg. “There’s still time, did you want us to bring you some food in the meantime? Dr Emett also mentioned you could try walking but with crutches at first. Let us know alright?” She tried to keep it positive, especially with the fact that the girl had no memories and it could be a dangerous slope.
