Adalia tossed and turned in the hellish hospital bed - harsh stiff sheets of the most glaring shade of white. She had never before been forced into a bed not her own and now caught in the throes of a nightmare was not a good "first experience". In her mind she was seeing the collapse of a building on fire - she heard herself scream as she ducked under a table on which the proprietor had been displaying her wares as another hunk of flaming plaster crashed to the ground. The small girl woke with a start drenched in cold sweat with her long black hair stuck to her face and hanging lank. She sat up quickly and immediately flopped back onto the pillow terribly dizzy. She reached up for the glass of water on her left hand side table and felt a surge of fire grip her arm. Looking down Adalia noticed the perfect pale skin of her shoulder marred by a terrible purple bruise. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes before she let out a shriek of rage that must have been audible all through the crowded Hospital Wing.
Sitting up more slowly Adalia ignored her dizziness and picked up her navy blue silk robe that had been folded on a nearby chair. She put it on and ripped open the hangings surrounding her bed. She looked around desperately until she found a harassed looking mediwitch bustling about and stormed over to her. "You insolent fool! Do you have any idea who I am? Do you have any inkling as to what I can have done to you! I am Adalia Claire René Gabrielle St John for goodness sakes and I have been hurt! Not only am I injured but I am in this Gods forsaken place and not at home in my own bed with real mediwitches looking after me! Get my father here this instant and get this horrid bruise off my body; and give me something for my head while you are at it." she shrieked at the shocked looking woman before turning sharply and returning to what had been assigned as her bed to wait for her orders to be carried out.
