Rain

I kept fading in and out of consciousness. I remember the doctors saying things like, "we need more . . ." and "she's starting to stabilize again." I opened my eyes, my mom rushed to my side.

"Oh, you're awake sweetie! Do you want something to eat?"

All I could do was nod my head, I was so weak and dizzy. As my mom left the room, the nurse came in to check my vitals, "You're giving us all quite a scare little missy! Glad to see your eyes open. You have a visitor." She moved aside so I could see who was there. I had never seen the girl before in my life, I prayed that she was not here to finish me off. "All done, I will give you a minute alone with your friend." I nearly panicked.

"Don't worry, I am not here to hurt you." the girl reassured, "your dad sent me to help." She laid her hands on my head, as if to give me some kind of blessing. She then closed her eyes and pointed her face towards the ceiling. I could feel her energy soaring through my veins. The machines were going crazy. I saw a black mist pouring out of my body, as if she was expelling all the evil from me. She finished seconds before the doctor came rushing in.

"What's going on in here!?" he shouted, pushing the girl aside. He grabbed my wrist to take my pulse, but paused as he noticed the machines returning to normal. I looked at him and grinned. "Why, it's as if. . .everything is back to normal. You look. . .100 times better!"

My mom came into the room, nearly spilling the breakfast she'd brought me. "Is everything alright doctor? Who are you?" She asked the girl. The girl just shrugged and slipped out the door. She was gone before anyone even knew what had happened.

"Your daughter, she. . .just a few more tests, she may be coming home today."

My mom set the tray on my bedside table and hugged me, tears streaming down her face, "we were afraid we'd lose you!"
