I woke up, groggy and worn out. Through my hair I saw police officers. Groaning I fell back down, knowing what was coming next. Evidently, someone called 911 and now they were here, ready to take me to a hospital. I felt a sharp pain, then a lighter sting as many tranquilizer darts pierced my skin. Instead of fighting the darkness, I welcomed it, knowing struggling wouldn't make a difference.

"She's waking up!"
"Quick, make sure the restraints are secure!"
"The restraints are ready, she shouldn't be able to break free."
I woke up once again to several doctors and policemen. Trying to sit up proved futile when I realized I was strapped to the bed.
"So, Caroline-"
"It's Coraline." I huffed. The doctor just rolled his eyes.
"Sorry, Coraline. Do you know why you are here?"
"Yeah, sure whatever. Can you leave me alone?"
"I can't do that until we've gotten the information we need."
I sigh and turn my head. "Send someone friendlier please."
The doctor sighs, but before he can continue questioning me, a hooded man steps in and whispers to him. The doctor leaves, and the newcomer walks up to me.
"Hello, I am Johnny Ghost."
"Hello." I say curtly.
Johnny laughs a bit at that. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"You better not."
"I like your sense of humor, Car- I mean, Coraline. Don't worry, you won't be interrogated anymore."
"Good." I sigh. "Can you get these stupid bands off of me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know how. Hopefully I can get another doctor to remove them."
"Johnny!" A voice calls from down the hall.
"I'm sorry Coraline, I have to leave."
"Wait!" I shout, but he is already gone.
