Snippet #2126133

Emily hopped into the car with Klarissa, who was slinging some sort of black strip over herself and clicking it into some sort of slot. The man who was previously hovering over Klarissa had gotten into the front seat and done the same. Following example, Emily took the belt into her hands and buckled in as well. Emily was immediately amazed when she saw that the machine they were in was moving, and heading down some sort of large black pathway. It was night now, and the path in front of them was now illuminated by lights attached to tall poles and the soft glow of the nearby buildings. "Could these be the lights I saw?", Emily thought to herself as she rested her head on her seat's plush headrest.

When they entered the tower-like structure that Klarissa had previously called a "hospital", they faced two doors. Klarissa seemed to pause before two doors before making her way through one of the two doors. Emily followed Klarissa into a large white room, the change in brightness hurting Emily's eyes. She had to squint for a minute to get used to how bright the room was, while patiently waiting for Klarissa to finish doing whatever it was she was doing. She had talked to a person behind a desk, who handed Klarissa what appeared to be a piece of paper clipped to a thin hard surface with a black rod clipped to the side. Klarissa had taken the rod and scribbled onto the paper, forming symbols that Emily couldn't understand. Emily sat in a nearby chair and rested her head against the wall the chair was against. She tried to get the situation under her grasp again, but her pounding head and hard thinking led her only to more questions. Emily closed her eyes and took a small nap after a minute.
