Edit Reason: Anya and Anna are too close - Anya is now Anita
)
Anna was certain she was moving but it was a woman’s voice who brought her out of her daze. ”Are you okay, Miss?” the woman, a short woman with short dark hair wearing a paramedic’s uniform said.
Anna looked around, trying to figure out where she was at this point. Back outside where the…incident happened. Thankfully she couldn’t see the spot where the woman had laid. The woman guided her into the ambulance and sat her down, wrapping a blanket around her shoulders. ”Can you hear me, Miss?
Anna was beginning to register what was going on. ”Yes, I can hear you, Anna said.
The woman smiled. ”My name is Anita, I’d like to ask you some questions and do some tests to just make sure you’re okay.” Anna looked over at Cade and back to Anita. ”Do you want him to be here?” Anna nodded, and Anna asked Cade to come in and he did. Anna sighed. She didn’t want to feel alone right now. ”Can you tell me your name, Miss?”
”Anna,” she responded.
”And do you know what month and year it is?”
”December 2046.”
”And can you tell me the name of the Ascendancy? And are you in any pain?” she put a device on Anna’s finger tip.
”Nikolai Brandon. No pain.”
Anita read numbers off of the device on her finger. ”Temperature 98 degrees, oxygen saturation 88%, heart rate 95. Do you have any history of epilepsy or seizures?” Anna shook her head and the woman put a blood pressure cuff on. ”Need your feet flat on the floor, no talking, and your arm like this. You’re doing great, Anna.”
The woman adjusted her arm and began to check her blood pressure. Anna found the woman’s method reassuring and felt like she was calming a bit. ”Blood pressure 130/80. she put the stethoscope around her neck and pulled off the cuff. ”Your friend brought you out Anna, because he thought you might be in shock. You were a little catatonic when you got to me. How are you feeling now.”
”Okay, I guess. A little upset at what I saw.”
Anita nodded, ”Understandable. It must have been hard for you to see that.” she shifted gears to Anna’s vitals. ”Your oxygen level is a little low, and your pulse and blood pressure are a little high, but none of them were too out of place. They’re numbers indicative of being under stress. Right now I’m thinking you just reacted to what you saw by disappearing for a little bit. It happens and that’s okay. But you know yourself better than anyone. I’d like to let you rest for a bit, run your numbers again and see if they improve. If they don’t or get worse, might want to consider a trip to the hospital to get more thorough tests. If they improve, it’s more than likely you were stressed out and reacted.”
Anna nodded. ”Lets retry the numbers and go from there.”
Anita nodded. ”I’ll give you 10 minutes. You just relax and take some deep breaths.” she pulled out two bottles of water and handed one to Anna and one to Cade. ”I’m going to step out, get some forms ready, and be back soon. I’ll be right outside if you need me.”
Anna was left with Cade and she fidgeted with the label on her water bottle. ”I tried to help her Cade. I wanted to help her. That’s all I wanted to do.”
