I woke up in a white room, laid on a bed with a bunch of flowers on each side, I taught I was dead but it took a few minutes to realize I was in a Hospital which made me wonder how I got here in the first place.

I stood up from the bed to look for a way out but I ended up walking into the bathroom and I got a huge surprise from the mirror. The plastered faced girl staring at me made me sad because I couldn't believe it was me, I felt so bad that I ran back to the bed and cried until I slept again.

I was awoken by the creaking sound of an unlocked door at the side of the room which I didn't notice before and a woman appeared, looking at me with her soft hazel eyes and short sandy hair.

"Welcome back Delansy, I hope you're feeling better"

Her replay scared me because she knew my name, how did she know my name!!! I suddenly asked

"Who are you, where am I and how did I get here!"

My last sentence made her start to walk towards me which made shift backwards but she said

"I'm not going to hurt you sweetie, just calm down and I'll explain everything you need to know"

She sat down beside me and started talking

"My name is Candice Merlin. I'm one of the nurses in this hospital; you're in here to treat some burns on your body."

I suddenly touched my face and she slowly removed my hand from it, her assuring warm personality made me calm down and listen to her.

"You were brought here a few minutes after midnight by a stranger who claimed to have seen you by the burnt building that was on the news yesterday."

I started wondering who would have still wanted me to live before I curiously asked

"Did you ask for his name?"

She bent her head and said

"I told him to wait there so I could settle you in but when I went back he was gone"

"Did you see how he looked like?"

"I couldn't. It was dark and he was wearing a hoodie"

I got a little angry but I knew it wasn't her fault; she tried her best by settling me in first. I unconsciously touched my neck to hold my locket but it wasn't there, I panicked

"Where's my locket?"

She stood up and walked towards a locker then handed it over to me, it was scratched and burnt but I was relieved to have it because it's the only thing I have left.

"And my bags?"

"It's in the closet"

I looked down at the locket and busted into tears again, she pulled me closer and patted me softly on my back. I was so confused because I didn't know where to go after here; I had no home or family, At this point, I wish I died with them. She started consoling me

"I know how you feel Delansy, like your whole worlds falling apart but you know what, I know you can go through this"

I looked up at her

"How do you know?"

"Well, you survived the fire, not everyone can survive that and remember this"

She tilted my head up to face her

"Accidents will always happen but there's always a blessing in disguise"

The fact I knew she was trying to use proverbs on me made me giggle, She kissed my forehead then said

"Now, go change your clothes before you start getting marks"

I slowly looking down at my tattered gown and bare feet then felt embarrassed before I quickly ran into the bathroom to change.
