“You’re awake. Good.”

The woman standing over me wore the standard infirmary uniform, but there was a softness in her voice I had been stolen of since arriving.

“Nurse Hailey,” she said, indicating to herself, her voice just above a whisper. “You were locked in the storage room. You’re lucky I found you when I did.”

I tried to sit up, wincing. I couldn't stay here for too long without drawing attention. The nurse gently helped me, checking for bruises.
“You need to rest, but not here too long. I pulled some strings to keep this quiet. Just… act normal when you’re out.”

Halley hesitated. “Because someone has to.”

The next morning, I was discharged. The nurse helped me up till the door, looked around anxiously once and said, “Be careful, Elise.”
That was the last time I saw her.
