==================
It seemed like an eternity before Minerva finally woke up again. She felt tired, still cold, but the difference of her bed couldn't be mistaken. It was softer, the room seemed brighter a beeping sound intruded her thoughts as she came to relize the tubes she was connected to.
"Minerva?"
Minerva tried to open her eyes further, his voice didn't seem so far away now. She still couln't focus ad gave up on the effort, choosing to lay back in the bed instead.
"Sally. Sally she's awake."
She heard the footsteps of another as they made their entrance, making a direct path to her bed. A cold hand pressed against her forhead and she wish it would stay there to ease her suffering.
"Her fever is still too high. We'll have to watch her and wait until it breaks. She's lucky you brought her in when you did Duo, she could have died."
Minerva groaned. "I already died."
Duo looked at the young doctor. "Sally?"
"She's delirious."
"No..." Minerva rolled her head right to left, trying to imitate a shaking of the head.
Her chest heaved as she coughed again tears stung her eyes from the pain. She held back as long as she could before giving into the inevitable coughing fit. Why couldn't this end? Just be done with it, no more suffering, trading one pain for another.
********************
Minerva couldn't tell how long she had been here, in the hospital. Duo came often to check on her, but she was still scared. At least from what she could tell the scars had disapeared. What would happen to her? would they toss her out the moment they relized she couldn't pay?
She shivered, and this time it wasn't because she was cold.
She turned her head to see Sally walk in again, her expression, she didn't look happy. Had she found out? Her scars, they were gone. How did she know? "Sally?"
Sally smiled, she was trying to make her feel better, make believe nothing was wrong. Sally was a horrible actress. The doctor made her way over to a chair and sat down. "Do you remember what happened."
Minerva nodded. "I'm sick."
She nodded. "Theres no record of you anywhere in L2, we're still checking the other colonies, but could you tell us your full name, where your from?"
"My name is Minerva Blue, and you wouldn't believe me."
"Thats an unusual name. Do you have any family we can contact?"
"No, not anymore."
Sally frowned. "The hospital won't take care of you for free, they're threatening to take you off medication. Any information you can offer will help."
Minerva coughed. "What year is it?"
"AC 197. Why?"
"I was born AC 179, June. Makes me 18. Does that help?"
"Not unless we manage to find records on you. I'm not going to lie to you, it doesn't look good."
She nodded. "Just let me die then."
"I'm not going to let you die. Honestly to deny treatment to someone just because they can't pay. We'll figure out something."
She smiled weakly. "It's okay, I've died before. It's not so bad. Kind of nice."
Sally frowned, watching the girl worridly before she stood up and left the room. Minerva watched the woman leave. So she'll die again, the second time this month. Didn't change anything, still nobody cared. Maybe she would end up someplace nicer the second time.
************************
Duo rubbed his head, collapsing into a chair. He looked up at Sally. "Say that again?"
The doctor sighed, looking at the younger boy. He was so devoted, even to people he hardly knew. "The hospital won't treat her anymore. She has no past, no identification. It's as if she never existed."
"So? Her records could have been destroyed during the wars. I wasn't in any records either."
"But you had someone to pay for your treatment. This girl has no family, no money. We're lucky to have kept her here this long and unless someone is paying for her treatment, they will kick her out. Duo, they money they're asking..."
Duo sighed. "Yea I know." He smiled. "But hey I got connections, Quatre will help me out."
"You care a lot about someone who tried to steal from you."
"Sally, do you know how hard it is growing up on the streets? Your dirt poor, no money, no medacine. I couldn't help Solo, but this is one case Shinigami is going to lose."
