Sound rushed through Tris' ears, causing her to wince in slight pain. Voices whirled around her in a maddening driedel of confusion, and she struggled to stay focused. Slowly, inch by steady inch, she found her beacon once more. David's voice rang through her thoughts, steadying her fear, and letting her focus once again. She opened her eyes weakly, and looked up into the miazmere of images. The room spun, and she could barely make out David's face. Silently, she willed herself to calm down, and reopened her eyes.<br/><br/>Tris blinked. "Good Morning, my friend," she said softly. "Did anything happen while I was... out?" she added, slightly embarrassed. Memories of her other adopters flooded her. One of them - a woman named Evangeline - had beaten her when she was much younger. She remembered the orphanage doctor diagnosing her with Traumatic Brain Injury. Like several other abused kids, she now had epilepsy for life. At his words, she frowned. "Look, no offense, but I don't like medicine. I refuse to take drugs to stay alive. I'd rather be dead. Really, I would. I hate medication. I hate it very much." Tris really wished she could stay with her friend for a longer time, but medicine wasn't really her forte. She certainly didn't like the taste, or feeling helpless and attached to a drug to help her live. She had always learned to take care of herself, so why let that change now?<br/><br/>Sighing, she rubbed her eyes. "Now, what would you like to do first? I really won't be alive for much longer. Not if another seizure... Well, yeah. What do you want to do though? Anything, I am up for anything right now," she reiterated softly. "Really, I am." Smiling at him, she forced the thoughts of medicine, and drug support away, only wanting to focus on her new friend's happiness. However, to her great dis-fortune, he wanted for her to take the damnable drugs. She frowned, lightly, waiting for a response to her recent questions, and steeling herself once more. She would have to say no. No to the life-giving medicine, as well as to her friend.
