"Shit!" was the last thing Cain heard before he lost consciousness. Then everything was cold and dark, as he struggled to breathe the fear of death filled his thoughts till everything was cloudy...

"Oi! We got a bleeder!" Lynx yelled from the top of his lungs into the E.R. the little man hustles along with the gurdy, and the attending nurses are thrown into a flurry, the boy was Human and maybe 17-19, 6'0, 160 pounds, and thanks to Nurse Red, blood type A+. he is wheeled into an operating room where Nurse Red, Dr. Lynx and some other Nurses attempt to close the wound on his leg.

"His femoral artery is cut, he's lucky to be alive... He's got, maybe 4 liters of blood left." Nurse Red sniffs him twice as she makes her statement. She's a vampire, maybe 300 years old, but looks like she's 30, she is a master of blood work and is beyond helpful in cases like this. Lynx asses his wound. A small laceration on the inner side of the leg, exactly on the artery... what could have caused this... but he couldn't think on that now, he needed to focus on clamping the vein and suturing the hole shut, amongst other things to keep this boy alive.

"Well this is fun isn't it?" a nurse says trying to lighten up the mood, but everyone just grunts. The nurse just continues working and looks at the boy's face, and something sparkles but goes away. After an hour and a half of surgical procedure he is dropped off into a room, so he can recover. The nurse who tried to joke is assigned to watch and help him for the night. Her name is Elspith, she is a Drow Elf, dark skinned, thin and elegant. With bright purple eyes she is a perfect picture of her people. She watches over Cain checking his blood pressure, muttering to herself about nothing in particular, but is interrupted by Cain tussling in his sleep and has to stop him from tugging on his I.V. and blood bag. His heart rate spikes and he breaks into a sweat, she checks his temperature and he is a little high but he doesn't have a fever, she calls a doctor anyway. Just to be safe. By the doctor comes in he has started to calm down.

"I think he was just having a bad dream or something, he should be fine." The doctor says, he is a faun so his hooves clack on the tile floor. Elspith turns around and Cain is opening his eyes slowly and looking around...he recovered quickly, it's only been a few hours. He should still be unconscious.

"What...who...where am I?" he whispers softly looking like he is searching for someone or something. Elspith sits down next to him.

"Hi, you are at Kingdom E.R., I'm Elspith and I'll be your nurse tonight." He just looks confused and tries to sit up, but he winces. "you can't sit up! You just had surgery and you don't want to pop a stitch." She eases him back down, he just looks sad...

"Where are my friends?" he asks sleepily, she doesn't know, from what she saw he came in alone. Or with some nurses who were on break. She looks at the notes and it says he was checked in and they know his name from his I.D.

"I don't know... Did they come in with you?" she says softly, and she rests her hands on her knee. He looks scared for a second then angry, and in the end, he is just sad. He opens his mouth like he was going to say something, but he just shuts it for a second before speaking.

"I hope so... I was with them before...everything... went black." He looks confused like he is searching his memory for what happened to him. "They are a girl Drow, like you, a guy Gnome and girl Tiefling." He seems sad again. She peeks her head out of the door and calls Dr. Lynx in to talk to him. He talks to him and tells him what he knows. Some Nurses saw him get dropped off from a blue sedan and brought him in. Cain just shakes his head slowly like he is realizing something.

"They left me here... They didn't even walk me to the door..." taking a closer look at him she notices that his hair is unwashed, and he has dirt under his nails. He's probably from a lower-class neighborhood, that would explain hanging out with a Tiefling. But even then, why would they have left him, if they thought his cut wasn't serious they would have ignored it, so they must have known something was wrong, if so they should have checked in with him... That bugged Elspith. If they were really his friends, they would have stayed with him, or at least tried to...

"We'll find your friends, but is there anyone we can contact other than them? Mom or Dad? Grandparents or Siblings?" Lynx asks being careful with him...he clearly is having a hard time.

"No, I live with my cousins, but I got in a fight with one of them and they kicked me out. That's why I was with my friends. We don't have a phone... We do have a computer maybe you could email them..." for someone who had a fight, he seems eager to email them... Well he did come in alone, it must be scary to just wake up out of the blue in a hospital. Lynx scribbles down the email address and leaves the two of them alone. Elspith checks his vitals one last time before she goes to go on break, but Cain touches her arm.

"Please... I don't wanna be alone..." He looks at her, and again a spark. Elspith calls for another Nurse to sit with him as she clears her head.
