Bland

Chapter one: Red Alert

Cat Danvers stared blankly at the pansy white wall. Her red hair was styled in the usual long bob with a couple hairs hanging loose, she laid down on her makeshift bed ( An old mattress set down on stacked log planks) and scanned the room, their were no windows and a wobbly desk in the corner, about three books stacked ontop, due to low budget this was home sweet home. She closed her eyes and sighed, her life always seemed at the back of her mind, story's filled her head of princes, dragons, the classic witch, a way to distract herself from reality. A knock on the door roused her, she grumbled and reluctantly opened the door. A doctor with a slightly different outfit then the mandatory hospital gown for girl patients, (She had a shirt the same color as the gown, pants, and loose gloves) greeted her. The name "Eliza" was stamped onto her name tag, she was a young adult about in her 20's with jet black hair put into a messy bun. Eliza walked in the room, taking in her surroundings before finally acknowledging Cat who now stood to her left. Cat noticed the rusted tray she was holding with a small serving of jello, a cup of water, a non seasoned burger and a misshaped bun. Eliza nodded at her and handed her the tray along with a napkin and plastic utensils, she walked Cat to bed and stretched out a bored, looking like it belonged as part of a table, across her so she could put the tray down. Eliza propped up the pillow where Cat could sit up straight and bid goodbye, saying she would check back later. Cat sighed loathing when she did come back, not like she hated her she just was lost in her own world, she didn't have time for talking with someone who gave her company, well that is if "company" means going in and out immediately. Cat stabbed the jello with the fork, carving out a piece to eat, she sighed as she took in the bland flavors of the food as much as she could. She longed for real company, someone to greet her with a smile, to sit down and talk with her, maybe she could make up story's with her even! Cat fidgeted with the fork before taking in another bite, she closed her eyes trying to picture what her friend would look like. She was halfway finished with her meal before an alarmed voice echoed the empty halls, "Get the Patients to safety! We have a red alert!"
