Anishaa sighed. Today was the day. It was her first day at work as a nurse. She was very excited, and yet extremely nervous. She could only hope that he employer would like her and that she would keep her job.
If she got fired on the first day then her parents would have been right...They always pestered her to become a doctor, but Anishaa did not want to become a doctor, she wanted to become a librarian. She was not allowed to do that, so she choose a nurse.
Anishaa looked at herself in the mirror as she took her veil off and picked up her scrubs. The sari was exchanged for the scrubs. She frowned at her appearance.
At least they let you choose the design for your scrubs...
She had chosen purple scrubs with blue flowers on them. She thought the color went well with her hair and her skin tone.
Her hair was next, Anishaa carefully pulled her long hair into a low sitting bun. She stared at her large ears that sat on top of her head. She hoped no one would stare, but why would they? This was Poke Village. She was sure there were other Espeons here, maybe they would be friends...and maybe they could help her.
Anishaa picked up her lipstick to add a final touch when her chest started to tighten and her vision blacked out. The lipstick fell from her hand as she grabbed her head. Visions of the future flashed before her eyes.
She saw herself with a clipboard and a man. Alpha.The name flashed in her brain until suddenly the visions faded.
Anishaa's chest was still tight and her heart was pounding and her hands shaking.
No no...take deep breaths and the attack will pass
1...2....3...4....
Anishaa counted to herself and breathed deeply. This method often helped her prevent a full on panic attack...and it seemed to be working.
"There we go...all good..."
She looked at the clock and cursed, "SHIVA!"
Anishaa was not going to be late on her first day.
The young nurse ran out the door, lunch in hand and hurried to the hospital. As she ran she thought about her vision.
A man? A police officer....named Alpha. That is all Anishaa knew about him so far. Why would she have a vision about him? She never understood her powers. Maybe someone in town could help her gain control over the visions?
Her parents never believed her when she would tell them about her visions. They were not something natural. Anishaa's cousin believed her and said they were a gift from
"Allah", but Anishaa knew better. She knew her gift was from the Ashvins, the twin Gods of healing and visions.
When Anishaa arrived at work she was given a pile of patients to visit. One of the was a patient waiting in the waiting room, so he was given a later priority. He was also there for a check up and nothing serious. She pulled the file from the large pile and read the name.
Alpha.
Anishaa's hands shook a little. Her vision was coming true so soon. She wondered who this man was as she read over his file. But that would come later. She had to check on the other patients first.
After her checks were over she took the file with her and went to the waiting room, she stared at the file and then looked at the only man in the room.
"Mr. Alpha?" she questioned.
His ears twitched as he looked over at her, "Hm?"
Anishaa took a deep breath, "I'm your nurse for today...Will you come with me, please?"
Anishaa gestered for him to follow. He got up carefully and walked over to her.
Shiva he was tall. She felt so tiny being near him.
Alpha followed her back to the check up room where the silence was a bit awkward.
"I'm Anishaa." She smiled, trying to make eye contact.
"Evening Anishaa," Alpha nodded down at her.
"You're in for a routine check up?" she asked.
Alpha nodded, taking a seat.
"How's the knee and leg, Mr. Alpha?" she asked as she checked his blood pressure.
"It's been fine...just a few aches here and there..." he said.
Anishaa wrote down his blood pressure and then got the stethoscope ready. She started with his chest.
"Deep breaths..."
He nodded and did so. Sounded good.
"Everything checks out. Watch the stress, though...your blood pressure is a little high." Anishaa said, "Let us know if the pain gets any worse too...
"It's kind of hard to remain stress free when you are a cop..."he replied.
She nodded, "I bet. Have you tried any meditation? Or burning some lavender?"
He shook his head and looked at her, "No, I have not."
"I just moved here or else I would tell you where to buy some."
"I'm sure I can find some on my own..." he replied.
Anishaa nodded, "Anyway...Everything checks out, you can sign up for your next check up on your way out."
Alpha nodded and got off the examination table and walked to the door, pausing.
"You said you're new here right?"
Anishaa nodded, shuffling her papers.
"If you ever need someone to show you around, just stop by the station..."
Anishaa smiled, "I'd like that. Thank you Mr. Alpha."
Alpha nodded and left the room. Anishaa changed the papers in the examination table and went to check in at the front desk.
