Chapter two Heaven’s a Lie

The tremors still racked my hands hours after the memory of vision received. It just felt so real..

Back to reality I mentally coached myself getting my mind back to the task at hand. I closed up the last patient on my shift and slowly made my way to the locker room to change .

There were so much Blood the stained the emergency room floors today alone.The emergency room was littered with the bus casualties . A metro bus collided with telephone pole today .injuring 25 and killing three including the unfortunate bus driver. Guilt filled me at the thoughts of loosing my patience on my table . Today alone I lost two the bus driver and a kid around three years of age.

This is my calling in life to save lives .not hold their hands and watch them slip away. I thought as a single tears slid down my face. I wanted to beat my hands upon the locker at this injustice .. it's not fair. In harsh reality life isn't fair.. I have grown to know this statement to be true .

I didn't even have the inclination to turn on the light to the locker room. I stood there in the dark silence for a moment . I pressed my forehead upon the cold metal of my locker.

I pushed off the metal door and opened the locker door. The door hinges squealed I pried the rusty old door open. I gazed into my locker but not really seeing anything of importance. I can never feel clean after working in the hectic emergency room . I pulling off each grimy latex glove one by one . Throwing them hap hardly into the wastebasket.

Whipping my sweaty brow upon the sleeve of my once white medical jacket. My once pristine white now is now covered in my patient's blood.

I striped off the soiled garment as a the vile smell of fresh blood hit my senses. Somewhere deep within me I knew that this smell wasn't from my jacket. I turned around to a hand cupped my mouth. It couldn't be that creepy guy from earlier in the lobby. He was talking nonsense about some mystical land .that traveled from and he wants to bring me to. Crazy .. there are no such lands and creature. I should have called my friend in psychology wards to evaluate this guys head .

I kicked at his shins as a he whispered in my ear as his other arm snaked across my stomach. " doctor I am in need of your services." All kinds of thoughts filled my mind at his statement.

"What kind of services ? " I snapped "If it involves in said thing done to any member of your body parts . I will scream for security "I threatened. The hold upon my waist lessoned

As I heard the clicking of his heels of his shoes. " madam I would never infer or do such a thing . My lord is wounded and he requires immediate medical care. His mortal wounds are beyond my capabilities of curing." Giles stated.

" why couldn't you bring him here to the hospital? it's more of a logical solution than to Try to kidnap me ?" I asked as he straightened his tie" hospitals ask questions that we can't answer." Giles stated . Upon reflex I grabbed my medical bag and dashed out the door . Giles followed quickly upon my heels as we dashed out of st. Bernadette medical facility. I looked up at the antique weathered building for what seemed the last time .

If I knew at that exact moment my that my calculated well planned out life .would be turned upside down I would have stayed in bed this morning . " let's go see my patient!"
