As Meredith laid there, she suddenly heard a clicking sound and her eyelids were forced open. The bright light made her squirm and she heard an unfamiliar voice say, "She's stabilizing, but it's unclear if she'll experience another shift tonight. Whatever happened..."
The speaker's voice trailed off and she was left with a loud ringing in her ears as she tried to shake her head to clear it.
Meredith reminded herself that none of this is real and nothing is actually happening. It was all an illusion.
Rakkon's mental torment was making her hallucinate again.
Taking her deep breath, she forced her eyes open and saw that she was at the hospital.
She blinked when she saw a man in a lab coat approach a machine and pressed a button.
The cuff on her arm tightened and she turned her head to the side. The doctor looked at her and she asked,
"Who are you? I'm I still hallucinating?"
The doctor smiled kindly and replied,
"I'm doctor Williams and no you're not hallucinating."
