Day 2: Sunrise - Med Staff Tent
Annelise had had a night that seemed to stretch on forever, even though she finally got to bed at around 3 am. She checked up on all the patients and also James a few times, both when he was awake and when he wasn’t. She had taken a liking to him; her first friend she supposed. And that was okay. Being on this island, it’s not like she’d get told to keep the doctor/patient relationship strictly professional. But when she finally got to close her eyes to the world for the night, the dreams—or rather nightmares—began...
”You’re already thinking of another man, aren’t you, Annie?" His voice echoed from seemingly everywhere around her. ”He’s not even well enough to stand on his own two feet and you already want to get him in bed."
Marcus’ voice carried a harsh, accusatory tone. The voice was his, that much was undeniable. But those words, Marcus would never say that to her, not when she had only found a friend whom she simply felt comfortable around. Annelise tried to respond to his remarks but he kept speaking over her. ”I see I wasn’t enough for you. First my brother, then him?"
”No, it’s not like that Marcus!"
A few seconds passed and the silence remained. ”Marcus?!"
Her subconscious was riddled with guilt. Annelise sat up in bed momentarily before slowly walking to the entrance of the tent. There, she stood just looking out at nothing in particular with a blank expression on her face. Yet another sleepwalking episode.
