Kaashaa got off the elevator and made her way to the desk. “Hey, Lindsey.” She greeted coming around so she could enter the nurses’ station of the ICU.

“Good morning, Nikki dear how are you feeling?” Lindsey replied smiling at her over the book she was reading, “It’s been a quiet day since the last patient Dr. Cullen has sent up to us here.”

“I’m doing okay other than Jasper wants me home and resting. “ Kaashaa replied giggling lightly. “I talked to him about that patient and he asked me to check in on her for him. Where’s her chart at?” She added smiling.

“Right here,” Lindsey replied with an easy smile, as the young doctor’s husband was notoriously protective over his new wife, and being pregnant it made perfect sense to her. “She’s been sedated but she’s not completely out per Dr. Cullen’s orders. I was about to see if she wanted anything.”

“I’ll do it for you besides it gives me an excuse to walk.” Kaashaa answered checking the chart for the young woman’s room number before getting up and heading down the hall. She knocked lightly before coming in the rest of the way. “How are you feeling today?” she asked quietly as she approached the bed.

The young woman was willow-thin and bruised in places as she smiled faintly, “Not as good as I was this time yesterday I think. This time yesterday I was enjoying a walk in the woods.”

“Sounds like time flies when you’re having fun. My name is Nikki Whitlock and I’m a PA under Dr. Cullen. I’m going to check your heart and vitals. Are you hurting anywhere?” She asked as she began her exam.

“Nowhere that hasn’t hurt for the last two years.” The woman answered closing her eyes as Nikki began the cursory exam, “Cullen.. that’s not my regular doctor’s’ name. I’m not in Port Angeles am I?”

“No, I’m afraid not. You’re in Forks. Dr. Cullen is one of the best around as far as doctors go.” Kaashaa answered smiling. “I noticed it says you don’t have an emergency contact do you have someone we might be able to call for you?” she added hoping the young woman might open up a little to her.

“Not since Dad died about two and a half years ago,” tears welled up at the thought of that wound drawing in on herself a moment to control them, “He died in an accident just before I got sick, so no there’s not.”

Kaashaa smiled gently, “It’s all right I’m sure something will get worked out, Dr. Cullen’s pretty clever when it comes to that.”

“Maybe. I should go home soon I’m supposed to have an appointment with Dr. Lee later this week about the cancer.”

Kaashaa frowned and nodded, “I’m sure if you’re not out of the hospital by then arrangements can be made, do you mind if I sit?” she asked gesturing at the nearby chair.

The woman shook her head leaning her head back on the pillow, “No, go ahead I’m not going anywhere.”

“Well that’s true,” Kaashaa agreed quietly, “Since I’m under orders myself to take it easy and everywhere else is really quiet do you mind if I stay here til you want to sleep again?”

The young woman shook her head again with a sigh, “No it’s fine really I’m just used to being by myself most of the time so its fine if you want to stay put for awhile.”

“I wish that I could say the same but it’s not true. There are several others living with me not including my husband.” Kaashaa sighed and smiled pulling her pendant to lay on top of her shirt.

The woman smiled faintly and shifted into the blankets closing her eyes without speaking for a few moments, the hand without the IV in it clenched to a fist as she didn’t speak for several moments and only after her body relaxed again, “Sounds like you’re from a pretty happy place. Hope you get to keep it that way.”

“Trust me when I say sometimes I would love to be alone but when I’m down about something that’s when they pull me back up. But even if I can’t go to my family there are my friends too.” Kaashaa answered watching the young woman. “If nothing else and you need someone to talk to I’m available and I don’t mean as a doctor.” She added her smile genuine.

She nodded shifting again uncomfortably, “Exactly why’d I end up here? I mean I remember deciding to go walking in the woods by Forks – such a pretty day I couldn’t stand being inside – and I got in my car to go home but I don’t know what happened?” the girl asked trying to string together how she ended up in the hospital in Forks.

“Apparently you must have blacked out and hit a tree and when a group of hikers found you they called 911 and had the Ambulance bring you here. When Carlisle, I mean Dr. Cullen found you apparently you had to be shocked to get your heart going.” Kaashaa stated being as honest as she could. “Question for you? Was there something a meeting or a scare that might have caused you to become over stressed?” she asked.

“Other than the big bear eating fish from the river no…” the woman frowned lightly, “Not that I didn’t meet anyone in the woods but I think I scared him more than the reverse. Guess I should stop walking in the woods.”

“No, walking is good for you it’s just your blood pressure was high like you’d been scared to death. Did the gentleman you met say anything to you?” Kaashaa asked delving a little into the woman’s memory trying to see what the guy looked like.

She shook her head, “No, the bear didn’t notice me and the only person I came across was a guy who looked about as lost as I felt at the time. I’m still pretty sure I spooked him more. The only thing that really stuck out to me other than the unhappiness of whatever he was thinking about was the accent – not quite British I’d almost call it? Kind of strange fellow though, kept a distance which is odd for guys these days.”

Kaashaa nodded, “Sounds like an interesting guy.” She left the rest of what she wanted to say unsaid saving the memory to talk with Marcus later about as she realized from the woman’s description it was him the girl was talking about.

She yawned once and nodded, “Seemed okay, a little off somehow but hey who’m I to judge anyone when I might not live to see the holidays this year?”

“Don’t give up on yourself so soon and let Dr. Cullen help you he’s good at what he does. Look get some rest and we can talk more in a bit.” Kaashaa stated slowly heaving to her feet.

The woman nodded and even before Kaashaa had made her way out the door entirely the young woman was asleep leaving Kaashaa with her thoughts, and the need to begin putting the pieces of the riddle together. This is becoming more and more interesting. I really miss Ely but she and Taron went for their vacation … I am so not going to interrupt it for nothing.

A few hours later her shift was up and Kaashaa drove herself home and within a few minutes of arriving there she was firmly snuggled into Jasper’s arms the riddle of the young woman she had spent a sizeable portion of the evening with or watching over.
