• “Found” Chapter 3

    Kim opened her and was blinded by the bright sun light coming through the opened blinds. She rolled to her to the left and covering her eyes, but then she almost fell out of the bed and but caught herself, almost scared to deaf. She looked up and saw her left leg up in a harness bandages wrapped from the knee down.
    “What?, How this happen?” she then felt her head and there was a bandage around it touching the far right of her forehead it was sore. “Oww.” As she pushed on the spot.
    “How did I get here, and where’s Amie?” looking around at the lightly tinted blue walls and white trim it smelled of cleaning supplies. The blinds were horizontal and there was two lounge chairs to the left of her. She was wearing a white gown with little blue dots all over.
    Then there was a knock at the door, “Who is it?” Kim asked.
    “It’s Nurse Barthelet, with food.”
    “Um, come in.” The door opened and a petite woman with short black curly hair with blue scrubs walked in backwards with a tray of food.
    “I wasn’t sure if you like these kinds of foods but trust me it’s good. Sit up please.”
    Kim sat up more and Nurse Barthelet put a standing tray on Kim’s lap then put the tray on it. On the tray was Cherry Jell-O, Mac and cheese, corn, and apple juice in a little carton.
    “Here you go.” She grabbed a clip board from the end of the bed then sat in a rolling chair pulled up next the bed.
    “Thanks, I’m real hungry.” She grabbed a plastic fork and picked at the jell-o. “Um, where am I though? And do you know where my sister is, I don’t know where she is.”
    “You’re at St Martha Memorial Hospital and sorry I don’t know where your sister is, but I’m trying to find her, Amie right.”
    “Yes”
    “With a I-e not a y, right “ She checked her clip board.
    “Yes that’s right. ”
    “Good, Ok Kim are you feeling ok.”
    “Um…My head a little sore and my leg hurts.” She pointed to her left leg. “What happened?” Then she pointed to her head.
    “Well all we know is that, a man saw you down a hill a couple miles from here and you turned out to have a broken ankle and then bleeding to your head do you remember anything before then?”
    “Oh, ..no…uh.. I can’t remember anything before now it’s just blank… is that bad?”
    “Well …yes I don’t know anything about your family or anything but your sister. I and as well as the doctor who examined you Doctor Ester, think you have amnesia.
    “Doctor Ester? What’s amnesia?” Then there was a knock then a tall man came in with blonde short hair walked in.
    “ That’s Doctor Ester.” Kim looked up at the tall man.
    “Linda, Anne is here.”
    “Thanks, Kim Doctor Ester will answer anymore questions you have I’ll be right back ok.” Kim nodded.
    “Hi, Doctor Ester, I’m Kim .”
    Nurse Barthelet closed the door behind her and saw Mrs. Jetter getting up from the chair, Amie and KC sitting in the chairs still.
    “Hey Linda, so ‘bout the girl?”
    “Yeah she.. You bought KC and his friend-….. sorry wait a sec, “ She walked toward Amie and KC. “Hi KC, what’s up who’s your friend?” she kneeled down in front of them.
    “Hi, Just playing Pokémon, with Amie.”
    “Cool, nice to met you Amie. How you spell that?”
    “ A-m-I-e, how come?”
    “Just wondering, well ok nice meeting you I’ll be right back.”
    She got up and walked up to Mrs.Jetter and whispered.
    “That girl has the same name and spelling as Kim said. The girl was talking about on the phone. She looks just like her with the brown hair, blue eyes, and the face they have to be twins. This is so good.”
    “ I figured to, when you called I pieced it together with what Amie told me and I was right.”
    “Yeah, you’re too smart not even telling me. Well I’ll get Amie. “
    “Sorry I wasn’t 100%.”
    “Oh, whatever”
    “Maybe I was 80.” Nurse Linda shocks her head.
    “Girl.” She went back to Amie and KC. “Hi, I said I’ll be back well Amie I have someone you’ll like to met.”
    “Who?” Amie asked.
    “It’s an surprised, KC you can come too if you want.”
    “Oh, cool ok.
    “Let’s go their right in this room.” She got up again and Amie and KC followed her. She knocked on the door and peeked in. You have some visitors if you don’t mind. Kim nodded her head.
    “Who?” Kim asked.
    Nurse Linda put her finger up for her wait then she opened the door all the way to let them in.
    Both Amie’s and Kim’s faces and eyes light up and tears falling from their eyes. Amie started running up to Kim giving her a hug.
    “Kimi!”
    “Amie! I thought I’ll never see you again.”
    “Ditto, I’m never going to go anywhere without you, I might lose you again. I’m so glad you’re safe. What happened?”
    They wiped away their tears and Amie sat on the edge of the bed.
    “Well as you can see my leg and head. Something about me braking my leg and I get a super cool caste any color and you can sign it. And I have amnesia. Did I say that right? “She looked back at the doctor.
    “Perfect.” He gave her a thumb up.
    “What that?”
    “I apparently don’t remember anything before the accident but I remember you though which is most important ...right?”
    “She doesn’t remember anything, like our mom or our childhood maybe. Is that good or bad, should I tell her? Uh...I don’t know.” she shook her head. “No, I’ll help you remember.”
    “Thanks, you’re the best the doctor ester …wait that’s right?” He grinned and nodded. “Yeah Doctor Ester said it’s probably not permanent and I remember almost everything soon but I seem to remember academics though.”
    “Academics ?”
    “Like reading and stuff.”
    “Oh, that’s good. Hey wait one sec.” Amie got up and ran up to KC and Mrs. Jetter and gave them both a hug. “Thank you you’re the best.”
    “No problem sweetie but goin’ to help you even more.” Mrs. Jetter said.
    “I’m glad you’re happy.” KC smiled. “You looked so sad.”
    “I’m better, thanks come meet my sis.” She led them to Kim.
    “Hi.” She waved at them.
    “Hey.” KC said
    “Ello.” Mrs. Jetter said.
    “This is K-C he cheered me up when I was sad and asked his mom, Mrs. Jetter… her to help. So I’m here with you.”
    “Thanks for helping my sis out, I feel horrible about making you worry so much Amie I wish I knew how I got like this.”
    “It’s ok I’m just glad you’re safe.”
    “Well you two my job is Social services I work at Georgie Orphanage, a lots of kids from 0-18 live there and some go to foster families, get adopted or sadly don’t get adopted and most go to college. But don’t worry I’m goin’ to keep you to together no separation ‘kay, promises. I just need to put you two in the system and you can be adopted and such and have a “family”.”
    “So we’ll be living there?”
    “Yep but not until Kim is, check out of the hospital.”
    “When will that be?”
    “You’ll be here over night, and then you’ll be discharged.” Nurse Linda states.
    “Yea, just to make sure you’re ok.” Doctor Ester gets up. “I have another patient, I’ll check on you a little later okay Kim”
    “Ok.”
    “Amie I have some more questions to ask you, you want to go in the hall?
    “Sure I’ll be right back, show her how to play Pokémon KC.”
    “Uh, sure.”
    “Ok, what’s Pokémon?”
    Amie and Mrs.Jetter walked out of the room then sat in chairs outside of the room.
    “Ok, when you guy’s birthday?”
    “I was born first December 21st at 11:57pm and then Kim was born on December 22st at 12:03-ish am. We’re identical twins as you can see, just different bangs.”
    “Really?, Different days that’s neat. How old are you guys?
    “Seven years old.”
    “Ok, have you been in school before.”
    “No, but trust me we’re not dumb we can read and write and can add see.” Amie grabbed a pen and paper from the little pad and wrote her name. “See how about a math question?”
    “ Nice hand writing, well ten plus twenty-three.” Amie added ten on her fingers. “Thirty-three.”
    “Right good job, read this.” she showed her a savings coupon card she got out of her wallet and handed to Amie
    “Ok.. well Clean and clear ..Special Bzz offer.. they spelled buzz wrong.”
    “They did it to make it fun, go on good job.”
    “Get the clean look for a friend save two dollars-“
    Mrs. Jetter laughed “That’s fine, good job no more testing. Got anymore addition information, to tell me about… your mom ..dad.”Amie signed. “But if it’s a tender subject forget ok.”
    “Sorry, if this is cold but I don’t count her as my mom, and I don’t know my dad though”
    “Oh... Its ok some people doesn’t have the best relationships with their parent. Well I think that’s all I’ve got to ask.” She clipped the form in the clip of the clip board. “You can most likely stay over with Kim here and then I can get you all settle at Georgie’s tomorrow ‘kay.”
    “Ok, thanks.” They got up and went back inside the room.
    “Kim use that attack.” Kim choices the attack, it says Not effective then the opponent attack and the last Pokémon is knocked out. “You lost again.”
    “With your help, I lost again.” she hands him the game. “I give.”
    “Man, we really suck at this game.” Then he saw Amie walk in with his mom. “Amie come here.” He waved her over.
    “What’s is it?”
    “The game Pokémon, KC isn’t all that great at it.” Kim answered. “ Neither an I.” she signed.
    “Oh… need help?”
    “Yeah.” They both said. Amie pulls up another chair and sits in it, KC hands her the game. Amie plays the game a little, she was shaking her head.
    “Why are you fighting the gym leader when the Pokémon’s levels are 14, 15 they need to be higher to beat him.”Amie said.
    “Wow you know how to play?” Kim exclaimed. “I don’t remember playing it before.”
    “No, I played with KC before we came here.”
    “Oh, I feel stupid.” KC smacks head with his palm. “Ok that’s my problem I’m rushing into fights.”
    “Yep problem solved.”
    “Amie you should teach me how to play ‘cuz I don’t know what Pokémon are weak to?”
    “Why didn’t K-“ she looked at KC. “Do you know the weaknesses?” KC looked at her.
    “Do you?” “Answering a question, a with a question.” KC asked.
    “Yea, well water puts out fire, fire burns grass, electric shocks water and rock sinks in water. The others I don’t know.” She shrugged.
    “Oh, that makes sense thanks.” Kim said.
    “ I don’t know why I didn’t remember that.” KC yelled at himself. “Thanks, I’m really am a bad teacher.”
    “You’re welcome guys.” KC mom walked in the room.
    “Sorry Strawberry we got to go now I need to do some more papers at Georgie’s. You can come with me to get them two tomorrow if you like, but sadly you got to go home.”
    “Really now but… ok tomorrow. You guys want to keep the game, to practice. Then I can get it back tomorrow.”
    “Or is it so you don’t have to play it yourself?” Kim asked.
    “No…”he exclaimed blushing some. “…Just trying to be nice...sheesh.”
    “Thanks but nah you gots to practice to.” Amie smiled.
    “That’s nice of you, but tomorrow.” Kim said. They both waved at KC
    “Ok, bye” he waved.
    “Bye.” They all said as KC walked out of the room with his mom.
