Ebony's room in the hospital

[Ebony]

It has been about one week since Ebony has been washed upon the shores of New Zealand, and was brought to the nearest hospital by Iris, Perrin and Pete. She had been taken care of by Doctor Daniel Witkin. He had treated her wound on her forehead, as well as bandaged the worst ruptures on her body, as well as tried to restore her core temperature, although not too radical. If she would get warm too quick again, her chances of surviving would shrink even more, she really had been on the edge to death.
But all this was past now. Only a few days after, Ebony already regained consciousness again, and although she had felt horribly, dizzy and weak all the time, the nurses who took care of her most of the time were confident that in the next few weeks she even would be able to leave her hospital room.

Ebony now was lying in bed, in her white hospital dress with green squares on it, as mostly. Although she was allowed to stand up already, she only decided to do so to go to the bathroom and back again. She somehow did not dare to stay up longer, but preferred to rest instead. Her limbs still were feeling as if they weighted the thrice of their usual weigh, and so it seemed every step she took outside the bed was terribly exhausting.

As Ebony had ended up on hospital for different conditions, Daniel the military medic had taken care of her but was not the real doctor that was allowed to handle the situation she was in. At the time he had found her among friends he had just been outside as she appeared, there he had tried to help her the best he could until he managed to get her a bed inside the hospital. While her healing proses had started he had more and more went on visit to see how she was doing and often helped if needed, something was attracting him to her and he could not avoid being with her.

Since he was now finished with his duties at the military camp outside the city he had decided to take a tour to see how she was doing, as he had arrived the hospital he had buyed flowers and with soft steps he entered her room."Hello."He spoke as he entered and hoped he was not disturbing or anything, seeing she was awake as he entered and was glad to see her again. He hoped she had got better but did not ask about it before he came closer to her bed, placing the flowers a fitting place."So how are you feeling today?"

[Ebony]

Ebony was lying on her right side, glancing out of the distant window. She could not see much from where she was, only a few tree tops and tips of scyscrapers, sometimes she saw birds flying by. She sighed, she felt lonely in these steril walls, all white and white, nothing coloured or warm, and no one there for her. The nurses who came to her about four times a day, preparing her with medicines and food, otherwhise stayed quiet and hardly talked. The tv bored her, it made her fall in deep thoughts about her past, which made her feel even more depressed.
But then suddenly, Daniel entered. She at first didn't notice him, only when he greeted her she turned back onto her back, to see who it was. "Doctor Witkin!" she said in a surprised voice, and had to smile. He even had brought her flowers, she was impressed. "You even brought lilies, my favourite flowers. How could you know?" she asked, he immediately had cheered her up, gotten her out of her depressed mood. "I already am feeling far better than the last time you've seen me." she thought, slightley remembering when she met him.

[Daniel Witkin]

Daniel was surprised how happy she turned as he entered the room, before she had seen him he could see she had been bored and depressed but was glad to see her better as she had noticed him. When she mentioned the flowers he gave her was her favorites it made him glad to hear so, he had not expected it as he knew nothing about her but it was happy that it pleased her."Its good to hear that I cached the right flowers that you liked and that your doing better but I did not know you liked this kinds of flowers."He said with a smile and sat down at the edge of her bed, looking at her with a gently look and though she was beautiful. Then suddenly as he sat there he also pulled up a present, it was a small box that he handed to her and inside laid something he hoped she would like."I also took the chance on buying you a present, I hope you liked it." As he was having a vacation break from the military camp he had decided to use his paycheck on buying things to her, he cared about her alot as she was the first woman he had meet on long time after he joined the military. He felt he had great connection with her and therefore felt safe along with her, they could talk about everything without upsetting each other as they were always there for each other.

[Ebony]

"Come, take a chair and sit down. I hope you have time to stay for some time." Ebony said before she listened to his words, what a coincidence it was he has chosen exactly the right flowers for her without knowing. "Well, now you know. With white lillies you can't do anythig wrong with me." she said smiling. ALthough she still felt weary, Daniel somehow had managed to give her new hope in life, that there still were people who cared for her, it restored her will to live. When he pulled out the small present, she was taken completely off guard, and she looked at him with wondering eyes, what he could have bought her. "Oh, but you didn't have to!" she said with a light smile. She wondered what it was, and how he could have afforded it to buy it to her, and then reached out to carefully take it. After looking at it for one moment, she turned her gaze back to Daniel and asked "What is it?"

[Daniel Witkin]

As she offered him a place to sit he gently smiled back and nodded before taking a seat were she showed him, his eyes was still fixed upon her while he sat down and the sight of her beauty was stunning."I will stay for some time yes and I am glad to see your memory is healing as you could remember what flowers you liked, is there any other memories that has appeared to your mind? If you don't mind me asking."He said and asked curiously with a smile as he watched her but still held out the present he wanted to give her, he had used much of his paycheck money on it even it was just a small thing but he wanted to impress her."Well open it, I hope you like it."Daniel returned in answer and watched her as she now would open it, he was curious on her reaction but hopefully she would love it. It was an silver necklace which had costed alot and included many diamonds of different sizes.

[Ebony]

"Indeed, a few of my memories came back to me." Ebony told him happily, she was proud that some of her memory has come back again, but still wished to know more about her past. "And I can remember a few past scenes, but it is difficult to put it together. It's almost like a puzzle, still so many pieces are missing, I can't see the picture." she tried to explain what was going on in her. She then was reminded of the little box, wrapped in present paper, that lied in her hands. "Of course, I wonder what this could be." she said while beginning to carefully unwrapp and open the box. She was amazed by the necklace, she liked it immediately. "A diamond necklace? You spent so much money on me?" she asked him, a bit surprised, but in a positive way. "It's beautiful!"

[Daniel Witkin]

Daniel smiled to her first words before she took the chance on wrapping up more of the present he had given her, as she saw what it was and got surprised it made him happy. Seeing she was glad about things he gave her was an great feeling, he cared for her more then anything at the moment as he had nothing else that he really cared about. She was knew in the area and an beautiful woman, he was not there to use her or anything but was there cause he saw something special about her."I am glad you like it, please try it on."He said and stood up, walking closer to help her getting it on. he wanted to see her wear it and hoped it fit though was sure it would somehow, gently he looked at her as he was to fall in love with her but tried to hide it.

[Ebony]

"Of course." Ebony answered to Daniel's request to try on the necklace. It truly was a beauty, silver was exactly the colour suiting her, the small diamonds made it look elegant and expensive, but at the same time it was a little playful as well, reminding that she was a young woman, and so it was not too importunate. Ebony laid the neckless down onto her blanket before she tried to get up a little, she still was lying. She did this only with small and slow movements, because otherwhise she feared to get a rush of pain again. She looked up at him when he came over to help her, and smiled a little at him once again, although she shortly felt slightley dizzy and felt warmth and cold rushing through her at the same time, her eyes becoming blurry for one second. But after a few moments, she caught herself once again.

[Daniel Witkin]

"Alright."He returned with an answer as she sat up and laid the necklace on the bed for him to pick up, carefully he moved closer and smiled at her as she look at him. It was comforting to look at her as he could feel deep attractions to her by just looking at her, her presence of having her around made him calm and it was good. Gently he picked up the necklace and was ready to put it on, only waiting on her to remove some of her hair so he would be able to. Daniel was glad she had liked the present and the flowers he had arrived with, he cared for her alot since the day they had meet and wanted her to get better in every way.

"Now, whenever I am not here you can look at this necklace and remind you of me if that helps you being cheered up."He said jokingly and moved gently closer, the closer he came the more nervous he became but managed to stay steady as he had to act cool and gentle to not make her think bad things about him.

[Ebony]

"Thank you." Ebony answered when Daniel put the necklace around her neck and fastened it. After this, she leaned back, closing her eyes for one small moment, before looking at him again. She answered smiling "You are right, whenever I wear or look at this necklace, I will be reminded of you." she spoke. She wondered why he had given to her this necklace, it seemed she was important for him. At least she hoped she was, because for her he was important as well, he was one of the only persons she knew on this planet, for either the others were dead or she was not able to remember them. He cared for her, and although her feelings seemed to be confused at the current situation, suffering from amnesia, she felt something was special in their relationship, in their friendship. With her fingers, she gently touched the necklace, as she could not see it where it currently was, and so tried to feel it. She then returned to Daniel, changing the topic. "So, how is your job doing, your job as doctor?" she asked him.

[Daniel Witkin]

Daniel watched her curiously as she looked glad to wear the necklace he had given her, he always loved given presents but mostly liked to see others happy and her specially. It was nice that he had found a woman like her he thought, it helped his life from not being lonely all the time. As he was mostly were used to the military and its life he had not got any love life cause of different reasons but also about the past, he had once been in gangs but in the later years he had seen it was wrong. When she asked him the question about how he was doing he was taken of guard as he was more fixed on her beauty then anything else, he smiled as he watched her and answered in return."Do job is doing fine, not much is happening now as I got free time from camp this weekend but will have to return on soonest Monday."

The feeling of her being close made him feel safe but that was something he wasn't, inside the hospital a few vampire gang members had entered and dressed out like doctors. They had found out where he was and were now after to kill him as he had escaped their clan with purpose, the human gang members who was already working on the hospital from before lot the vampires in the back door to help in getting the criminal gang member Daniel.

[Ebony]

"Really, the whole weekend? That's great, that means alot of freetime for you. What do you plan to do on the rest of the days?" Ebony asked him, as she currently still was rather bound to the hospital bed whe at least wanted to know what he wanted to do in his freetime. Save that he was a doctor who worked for the military, she hardly knew him yet but wanted to change this. Something there was that drew her closer to him, if it was friendship or anything else, something more, she did not know.

[Daniel Witkin]

"Yes...well I though I could stay here for some time if you don't mind, there isn't actually that many things for me to do in the area as I mostly work at the military camp whenever I can. I`ve pushed many free days ahead now too cause of me wanting to stay there but as there is an beautiful female friend as you on the hospital that needs my help then I cant stop myself from coming. If needed I could always take more free but first I wish to see how it turns out."He said with a kind smile to answer her question but kept his eyes fixed upon her as she layed down in her bed to stay calm, Daniel cared for her and wanted the best for her cause she were still weak. It was not good to see her in pain and therefore he tried to make it as comfortable as possible, something about her was attracting him to her and somehow it seemed she felt the same against him but was it just friendship? or was it anything more?

[Ebony]

"So you want to spend most of the time here, with me?" Ebony asked him, it surprised her, and she wondered if he really enjoyed her company that much, although they haven't really got to know each other, even there was not much to know about her. She tried to joke about it "Aren't there better places to stay for you than in a hospital to accompany a patient?" But to be honest, what he said touched her, and many questions began to pop up in her mind. If she interpreted his words right, he was about to fall in love with her, at least she thought so of him saying 'how it turns out'. She continued to speak "But I would be enlighted of your company, Daniel." she spoke, wondering what they could do in this time he would stay here. The nurses had told her she already was able to walk, but she has not yet tried it out, she has not dared to. Maybe she would in his company, she felt more encouraged when he was there. "Maybe we could take a short walk if you want? although a slow one I believe." she asked him.
