*** Time-Lapse, 4 weeks have gone by since the unfortunate storm that shipwrecked the crew and her family; where Dahlia sustained injuries leaving her in a coma like state. Dahlia is comforted by Raven Star and the touch of her parents. Dahlia has returned to her conscious, comatose state.***
Being stuck in your own head could make a individual wish they were crazy. Whatever state I was in, has been the worst experience, I've ever had. I don't even know where I'm at, within the Island. With however long I've been stuck like this, at least I've had Raven Star to keep me company saving me from a straight jacket and padded room. My body is cold, sore and numb. I miss my parents embrace, my only saving grace is feeling when they comfort me by my bed side. "Dahlia, I can feel you regaining strenght" my wolf spirit brought me out of my pity party. "When will I wake up, I'm tired of being trapped like this, I want my parents to know I'm okay" I replied back. "You had significant head trauma Dahlia, even I, can not heal you. You've never had your first shift, so I can not heal your wounds" Raven Star replied. "Will it hurt" I choked out. "I'm surprised you waited this long to ask me. Yes, my dear Luna it will be unbearably painful and will make you want to die" Rave Star said with sympathy. "Oh great! more suffering to look forward to" I said sarcastically. "Once you transform, you will experience more freedom then you ever have, future shifts will become easier until you no longer feel any pain at all and it becomes second nature. Your senses will take over, driving your animal instincts. The entire world around you will be a completely different experience" my wolf spirit replied. "I have grown curious since I found out I am werewolf, you explaining it to me at least makes me feel somewhat prepared. I know it will be a difficult experience, one I won't understand the gravity of until the shift" Dahila said back. "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, We ran another CT of Dahlia's head this morning. The results show a full recovery of her concussion and trauma. We are hopeful she will wake up soon" The voiced I've grown accustomed to, always serious and to the point; Dr. Lockhart. "At this point, the rest is up to Dahlia, we've done all we can medically, now it's a battle of will" the doctor stated. "Thank you Doctor, for taking care of our girl" my dad replied. "He sounds so tired" I observe through hearing. "Baby girl, please wake up" I hear my mother's cry. "Mom, Dad I'm trying I promise!". "Raven Star please help me!, I want to wake up from this blackened nightmare!" I scream at my wolf. "I will try but you don't need to yell Dahila, save your energy, I'll do all I can". My wolf exclaimed. Feeling hopeless, I feel a busrt of energy course through my body. It tingles like a flow of electricity. I can feel my body grow warm and it feels alive. "Dahlia, focus all your energy on opening your eyes, I am praying to our ancestors for strength" Raven Star said. I listen to my wolves pleas. "My forefathers and mother's I call on thee to lend our precious Luna strenght to wake up and become strong again. I beg for your mercy for allowing her to get hurt in the first place. From this day forward, I Raven Star, daughter of Raven Fang and Raven Moon, pledge to protect and teach her everything werewolf. We will not let you down" My wolf spirit said. "Raven Star that was beautiful, I vow to become the best leader our pack has ever seen. I will not fail, we will rein Supreme once more" I replied. I focused all my energy into opening my eyes. A task so simple had become the bane of my existence. Just when I felt like giving up, my eye lids slowly flutter open, and I am overwhelmed by bright light. My vision is so blurry I can't quite make out faces but I can hear my dad yell. "Someone call for Dr. Lockhart!" "Dahlia, sweety it's mom can you see me!" My mother pleads. I can hear scrambling off in the distance and the doctors and nurse running to my aid. "Emma, why are her eyes Crimson?" you can hear my dad with great anxiety in his voice.
