(Yes, if you know what was going on before I took my leave of absence, this will be like reading the first chapter of a book's sequel, but it's been a while and we have a lot of new people. Get over it! )
The sibling pair of Katarina and Marcus entered the building of the specialty doctor Marcus had managed to find to help with Katarina's excruciating headaches. She'd suffered with them since childhood, for as long as Marcus could remember. The protective younger brother walked with his arm linked around his sister's. She was an expert at hiding her true feelings. Nobody aside from him could tell she was a nervous wreck.
The hallway was long and dim, and the few doors along each side displayed no light through the cracks. There was a gentle hum of the vents. Aside from that, the only sound were the gentle pats of Marcus' and Kat's feet on the plush carpet.
Marcus slowly walked to the end of the hallway and stopped in front of the only door with light around the doorjam. It was a faint, orange light, and soft music could just barely be heard coming from the other side. The brass sign said "Dr. Roe, specialty pains." Marcus looked to his sister and waited a moment before asking. "This is it. Ready?"
