<strong>Sam Cole -- Ambulance Bay 2 -- Experiencing total reality collapse</strong><br/><br/>The pain in her arm was starting to diminish, but it was by no means leaving fast enough. Samantha tried to lift her head back up from her knees and immediately felt dizzy again, nauseous, as though a couple of giant children were tossing the ambulance back and forth to each other with her inside it. The cold steel of the side bar felt soothing in her fists. She would have loved to lie down and press her forehead against it, but the prospect of any kind of motion still held the promise of vomiting.<br/><br/><em>'Ugh...alright, so...what just happened? That guy was <strong>gone</strong>, I mean he was...at least, I <span class="bbc_u">thought</span>...So, what? I read his vitals wrong? Delayed metabolic reaction? Or...'</em><br/><br/>Samantha tried to stop herself from completing her next thought, but her mind was already in overdrive.<br/><br/><em>'Did I just witness a miracle?'</em><br/><br/>The EMT risked opening her eyes again and was rewarded with clearer vision, along with decreased nausea. After a few more minutes, when it felt like her limbs might not fall off if she moved, Sam slowly sat up on the bench and breathed deep and slow.<em>'And forget about him for a minute, what the hell happened to me?'</em><br/><br/>As she replayed the ride in her mind, she was interrupted by the sudden sensation of no longer being alone. A soft, gentle glow began to fill the ambulance and she turned her head slowly to meet its source, a beautifully ephemeral winged lady surrounded by an otherworldly light. She was, by leaps and bounds, the most beautiful woman Samantha had ever seen, and her smile was simply radiant.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89543.msg3969628#msg3969628">Quote from: Lady Kitsune on 03-12-2010, 09:50:49</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Exactly," she said, answering the question, Sam had spoken to no one.  "You have such a wondrous gift.  You really should use it for the good of all.  There are things...limitless possibilities.  I can help you.  You....you can help me."<br/><br/>"Come, Sam.  You have more to do this night," she spoke in a commanding way but soft and encouraging.  Vorianne held a body that needed help, infernal or not.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sam smiled a little and closed her eyes as she leaned her head back against the ambulance wall. "Oh, thank God. A hallucination. The adrenaline must finally be hitting me," she said to herself with a shaky laugh, her voice soft and breathy. The sound of new footsteps approaching the ambulance bay, however, drew her attention to another ethereally beautiful woman coming toward her, this one with a limp and crumpled body in her arms. "Aw, you've got to be kidding me! Even my subconscious is trying to work me to death..."
