Amnity froze when Jack mentioned Mephlius. She never really thought about him since he left...The hunter felt the tears collecting in her eyes, she felt a lump in her throat as she struggled to hold back tears. Shaking her head, she glared up at him. "No...He wouldn't...." Anger rose as she took a step back from him. "And if he wanted to stop me...He could come back and tell me himself!"

Jack shook his head and calmed down. He wasn't going to yell anymore. The situation would only levitate into a shouting match, and he didn't want that. What kind of shrink would he be if he caused more pain? "What do you see in your dreams, Amnity?" the Psychologist took a step closer, "What haunts you so?"

Amnity looked at the ground, avoiding eye contact. This was uncomfortable to talk about, but she knew that she needed help. "...Nightmares about my past mostly...I could hold back the memories when I'm awake, but when I'm asleep...It's like all my defenses shut down and all my thoughts just rush at me." She tried to make herself sound as sane as possible.

Jack hugged her without saying a word or performing an action(except for the hug) that would reveal that he had heard her. The psychologist had been told since the early stages of his life that he was a great hug-giver, and due to that revelation Jack had gone throughout life believing that a hug could cure nearly anything. Unfortunately hugs and kisses do not logically heal schizophrenia. And he backed off quietly and tapped her nose lightly with his right index finger whilst his other hand rummaged through his other pocket. "That's all I needed to now, sweetie."
Jack withdrew out a tape recorder, and pressed the record button. He began to speak: "Amnity Belmont, age.... like 20 maybe, has shown symptoms, or at least revealed to me," Jack smirked at Amnity before continuing, "The possibility of Post-Traumatic Disorder in the form of nightmares just about whenever she sleeps. This causes unintentional but forced insomniac actions, which may escalate into acclimated insomnia. It seems curable, pending on the severity of the nightmares, but will escalate if not treated in many different ways. Considering her career I can probably guess that Combat Stress Reaction; AKA Shell Shock may be responsible. Although I can not be so sure, and the only way to do that is through continual conversation and interview of Amnity....
"Hence, My Prognosis is as follows: Continued performance of said ailment may cause chronic insomnia, and the trauma itself may elevate past only nightmares and become a steady thought within her mind. Threatening impairment in social functions, even more than already is. I will be giving her a prescription for Propranolol and will be speaking to her again." Jack pressed the 'STOP' button and pocketed the device. He placed a comforting hand on Amnity's shoulder.
"It'll be okay and we'll be speaking again soon. Promise." Jack turned and walked off.
((Exit Infirmary))

Amnity tensed a bit when he hugged her. He had done this before, and even now she still isn't comfortable with hugs. But she knew, deep down in side, that he will continue the comforting huggle fest, and she will have to get used to it...But what the hell was this the nose thing? What does he think I am? 5? She said nothing as she just smiled politely, watching him take out a small tape recorder.
She tilted her head to the side a bit as she listened to him talk into the recorder. The huntress was a bit shocked, he was different from the other psychologists...Probably 10x more educated then even the older, more experienced doctors. Maybe I should pay him...He deserves it... All of the things he said seemed to hit the spot. Listening to his prognosis, she wondered what the hell Propranolol is.
"Wait! Dr. Dupr-" She called out, but he had already walked out of the infirmary. "....I have to pay you..." Amnity sighed, maybe she'll pay him later. She walked back to Kuro's room, slumping on the chair. When it got too uncomfortable, she just sat up. "...Kuro, you said you needed to ask something?"

"Am? Am, you feeling better?" Twi asked as he peaked into her room. She wasn't there...That's odd. "Am? Where are you?"
He continued down the hall, opening doors to see if his hospitalized friend was anywhere. Peering inside one of the rooms, he caught sight of an injured vampire. Twi was about to continue his search down the hall, but when he looked in closer, he saw her sitting on a chair. "Hello? Amnity?"

Amnity looked over toward the door. Please don't be another nurse... But instead, she saw the person that brought her safely to the hospital in the first place. "Twi! Hey!" She got up from the chair a bit too quickly, the pain in her side suddenly stung, but she managed to ignore it as she walked over to him. The hospital robe made an annoying paper sound as she moved. "Hello Twi. I'm glad you're here!"

Twi smiled at her, then his eyes trailed down to her body. The hospital gown wasn't stylish, but it managed to define her thin waist and sexy curves. His face reddened as he looked back Amnity's red eyes, hoping that she didn't notice him staring. What the hell is wrong with me!? She already has a boyfriend for goodness sakes! He mentally beat himself up. God I'm such a pervert!
"How are you feeling Am? Are you getting enough rest?" Twi asked politely, taking a steap back because he noticed that they were a bit too close to each other.

Amnity shook her head and looked at the ground. "Nah...I can't leave the hospital yet. And I can't sleep so I'm not getting enough rest either..." She just wished that she could get the hell out of there. Hospitals were basically her second hell. "I should be well enough to leave right? I look healthy enough don't I? Maybe I should make another break for it..."

"Well...If that doctor says that you're still not well enough to leave then you can't leave yet. Maybe...You should try to get some sleep Am. The sooner you recover, the better." Twi wanted Amnity to get out of the hospital as much as she does herself, but he wasn't going to risk her getting into more trouble. And knowing Amnity, she should be back in the hospital the day after she gets out.
"Here, I'll bring you back to your room." He offered as he led her back to her own room.

Amnity was frightened a bit as she was led back to her room. "No! Wait! I'm not tired yet!" She frowned as she looked at her stretcher, the darkness of the room made it look like it's evil sheets egging her on. "Please Twi! I...I don't want to sleep yet!" The hunter didn't want to tell him about her nightmares...

Twi was a bit confused at her sudden fear of sleeping.
"Uhh...I think you should though Am. If you want to get healthy enough to leave, then you have to get some rest." Twi did know that she hated hospitals though. He tried to use the 'vegetables then dessert' method. "Come on Amnity, it isn't hard is it? I mean...You're just sleeping."

Amnity sighed and thought about what Twi said. ...It wouldn't be that bad right?...I've fallen asleep before and not had nightmares... She closed the door after politely agreeing to Twi that she'll sleep. Sitting on the stretcher, she took a beep breathe before laying down and pulling the covers over herself. After a few minutes, she fell asleep. A nurse came in and left her medication on her bedside. Glad that the annoying patient was finally asleep, she put her on the anesthetic and gently placed the breathing mask over her face to keep her asleep. The blood pressure monitor slowly beeped in a steady rhythm as Amnity continued to sleep. Maybe....Maybe I'll get a peaceful sleep after all...
Oh boy was she wrong! After an hour or so, the nightmares immediately flooded into her mind, sending violent, morbid images railing out of control. The blood pressure monitor was beeping wildly as her heart rate was increasing dramatically. Beads of sweat ran down her face as she struggled to wake up, but the anesthetic kept her in a world of horror and pain. The only thing she could do now is go through the nightmares, praying to God that she'd just die before getting to the end...

Kuro yawned as he got out of bed, he looked around to see if anyone was still there. Finding no one, he walked lazily out of the room. "Hey Amnity, you still around?" he said, hoping he wasn`t calling on deaf ears. He was immediatly attracted to the beeping of the blood pressure monitor. He walked over to it and lifted up the sheet. He stared in shock at Amnity`s sweating face. He grabbed her by the shoulders and began to shake, first lightly then heavily. "Aw sommon Amnity wake up!"

Amnity began breathing quicker when her nightmare was slowly fading. Am I waking up? She too tried to fight the anesthetic, the darkness of the nightmares dwindling as a burst of light erupted from the shadows.
She quickly sat up, the beads of cold sweat dripping down her face as her heart seemed to pound violently against her rib cage. Amnity put her hand on her head, not believing that her mind could create such frightening, demented nightmares. Her lungs suddenly felt tight again as her breathe shortened. coughing loudly, she reached over the her lung medication and quickly swallowed down the pills. I'd get better if I rest...Bull sh**! Amnity rubbed her head and looked over at Kuro. "Thanks Kuro....I owe you one..."
