I opened my eyes and quickly shut them. The bright lights bothering my eyes. A small groan came from my lips as my head started to hurt.

"Go get the doctor, she awake."

"Sage? Sage. Can you hear me?"

I rubbed my eyes and opened them again. The worried faces of my family members stared back at me.
