Event Open Finished Waking up to a Nightmare

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

The monotone heart monitor kept a constant and dull beat as the little girl it was hooked on to was sleeping. She has been sleeping for a while. When she arrived, it was reported that she had washed up on shore near the edge of the forbidden forest and surrounded by wolves with nothing but a sentient stuffed toy protecting her. Said toy refused to leave her side even for a moment.

The child had been in the water for a couple of days, a miracle she hadn't drowned. While she was reportedly awake when she arrived, when she finally succumbed to sleep, she has refused to wake up, falling into a comatose state. There was some kind of delicate magic woven into her little body that interfered with what magic could have helped her recover faster, but she was indeed recovering.

Unfortunately, she recovered at the worst possible moment. She herself wasn't aware, but her sentient Shaymin doll heard everything from the doctors and nurses. The island was being invaded by horrible creatures, and some have even attacked the hospital itself. Luckily, nothing came near this room. Yet.

The toy jerked up upon hearing a gasp from its owner, and immediately clambered up her chest to see if she had finally awoken. Kadasha's eyes fluttered open, albeit still cloudy and blank. Her gaze slowly focused and she saw the white walls and ceiling of her room. No one was there.

Her throat felt very dry and her body still felt numb, but in time, she could move again. Worry started to intrude her mind. She wasn't anywhere she recognized, and the smell of medicine made her sick. She removed the devices on her arm, including a needle she hadn't noticed until she felt a sharp pain as it was pulled out. She let out a cry and a whine as a bead of blood rapidly formed. With the heart rate monitor disconnected, the monotonous beeping subsided, being replaced with a shrill sound, a constant beep that never ends.

Kadasha rolled off the bed. It was a bit high, but she climbed down backwards, holding on the sheets as she slowly lowered herself. She was in a hospital gown, she just noticed. The toy jumped after her and walked beside her as she took wobbly steps towards the door. However, she fell to her hands and knees. She felt really weak and hungry. Letting out another whine, she picked herself up and slowly made for the door, holding the bend of her elbow.

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard footsteps on the other side of the door. What color her face had was drained. Her mind darted to panic as memories of a faceless figure scolded her when she was found off her bed. Her breath left her lungs and her knees felt even weaker that they already were.

She reversed her steps and stumbled with a thud. Her head hit the back of her stuffed guardian, saved from the tiled floor. She uttered a faint yelp. Her butt hurt, everything hurt. The sudden feeling of loss and fear overcame her and she started sobbing.

She pushed herself backwards away from the door, the poor toy under her being taken for the ride, smeared on the floor until it was left on its back, being accidentally kicked one last time. Kadasha hit the foot of the bed, the cold steel sending a chill through her whole body, but her eyes remained fixated on the door. Was something going to get her? Was someone going to come in and see she was out of her bed and scold her for it? She wanted to stand up and climb back up, but her legs just wouldn't listen. She ended up curling up, hugging her knees, her eyes barely over them.

Sensing its owner's fear, the toy shook itself back to its feet and took a defensive stance, standing between the girl and the door. How it hoped it was just a doctor or a nurse behind that door.

She saw the handle turning in slow motion. Her heart was ready to burst then. She couldn't take it and hid herself behind her knees, hugging them tightly. She waited for it. The scolding, the shouting, and maybe a sharp pang of pain on her legs. Her tears started to fall, but something in her tried to keep her from crying audibly, possibly because it knew things would be worse for her if she did it.

But to her surprise, there was no shouting, no one telling her to go back to bed, no pain aside from what she was already feeling. Instead, there was a soft voice. Hesitantly, she lifted her head up, afraid to see what waited for her. Was it a trick? She couldn't see so clearly with her hair in the way, but it made her feel somewhat protected.

From underneath that small canopy, she wiped away the tears so she could see who this person was. He was a complete stranger. Taking the risk, she peeked her head higher. Her mouth moved as if to say something, but the shut soon after when only huffs of air and a little cracked squeak escaped.

The plush didn't appreciate being stepped over and immediately dashed towards Kadasha, planting itself by her foot and gave the stranger a look as a warning not to hurt the girl. It was definitely wearing shoes too big for it to fill, but that didn't stop it from being determined.

Kadasha seemed to sink lower the closer the stranger got and almost hid herself behind her knees again. When he offered his hand, she wasn't sure what to do. She just looked at it for a while before she slowly lifted her trembling hand from across her knee and put it on his fingertips. She was clearly hesitant about it.

When asked for her name, she just looked confused and then slowly looked away. It didn't seem like she didn't want to answer, but rather she couldn't for whatever reason. The toy skittered to the foot of the bed and knocked off a clipboard hooked there then pushed it over to the stranger.

It still didn't trust him, but it didn't want the girl to be distressed. The toy saw the doctors refer to that clipboard for just about everything. It had everything the doctors would want to know. The name on that clipboard was "Kadasha", the name the people got out of the toy when it suddenly got the ability to speak out of the blue. There were other details like her height, weight and blood type, as well as her condition being in a comatose state since she arrived at the hospital, which was listed as July 6, 2017.

((It's fine, I'll try to give you more to work with))

Ka... Kadasha...? Was that really her name? It was familiar... but... had she forgotten her name? She hadn't had time to mull over it before she felt cold. Colder than when those two nice people found her and took care of her until she arrived at the hospital.

Suddenly she felt very fearful for her life. She heard the giggle, it sounded evil. And then the heart monitor started up again. It was no longer holding that tone since she removed it from her wrist. She began to cry, wanting to take shelter in the arms of the bigger person in the room, but she was frozen by fear.

There was no resistance when the stranger picked her up. She didn't even hear him say that they needed to leave, but the toy was all for leaving this place. It was dangerous to stay here any longer. It quickly climbed up the stranger and into the girl's arms. Having it there made the girl feel a bit at ease.
