Selina decided she couldn't leave the pills behind but that a lack of patience wouldn't do her any good. So, she returned to the bed and began waiting.
She wasn't sure if it was her nerves or her current age, but every passing minute felt excruciatingly slow. With nothing
to do to pass the time, Selina grew increasingly antsy. Eventually lunchtime came along with the nurse from earlier
Ignoring the food he sets down despite her grumbling stomach, Selina got up to follow him back to the medicine cart.
He turned back, "You should be staying in bed Amy."
"But I'm booored. Can't I please see what you're doing?"
The man sighed, "Alright but right back to bed after."
Selina nodded as the man shows her his list of patients and medications then unlocked the door to shows how everything was sorted eventually ending on her bottle. Which he grabbed and poured two pills out of. Selina grimaced as he placed the two pills in her hand but didn't set down the bottle.
She reluctantly swallowed the pills and only then did he place the bottle back on the shelf and look down to fill out his paperwork. Keeping a close eye on him, she carefully reached into the cart and grasped the bottle. She then began scurrying back to the bed hoping to be under the covers before the changes started, but before she could make it the increasingly large hospital gown slipped off.
Hearing the nurse looked over and began, "What in the..." Selina curses. So much for a clean getaway.
Scooping up the flash drive Selina, bolted passed the nurse before he had time to proccess what he was seeing. At first her legs felt awkward to use but soon she found herself adapting to the new proportions.
It seemed the various people milling about the preteen wing weren't expecting a naked 8 year old to be running down the hall, as none of them reacted in time to stop her. Soon she was through the fire door, down the stairs, and out the emergency exit.
Bursting outside at her new top speed, Selina suddenly found herself slipping on icy pavement and sliding face first into a snowbank. Pulling herself out shivering, Selina couldn't believe her crummy luck. On top of everything else it's snowing in October?
She forced herself to get to her feet and start hurrying away from the hospital. But her feet are already going numb. There's no way she was going to get far naked. Let alone evade hospital security once they figure out what's going on.
She looked around desperately for any nearby places where she could lay low and hopefully find clothes.
