Honestly, I sat down for a good five seconds before I was up pacing around again. For hours I anxiously intertwined my fingers, and loosened them before repeating the process. Worry racked my body as I awaited the verdict. Was she dead? Was she alive?

At this point I wasn't bothering even attempting to sit down, Ryder was probably annoyed by me but I couldn't help it. My hands were shaking as I clamped them together before loosening them. This was my fault, if only I hadn't been such a fool and let the lady knock me out.

"Your friend Alice," my heart sped up exponentially and milliseconds felt like hours as I waited for her to say something, "she's alive." My limps became liquid as I exhaled a short sigh of relief. But honestly I was surprised by the fact I was shaking all over and tears were falling from my eyes. Tears of relief.
