Arrival of Thirteen, April 18th.
Who?: Thirteen, OTA/Greeter.
What?: Arrival of 13.
When?: April 18th, morning.
Where?: On the beach.
Rating?: PG
Status? In Progress.

Thirteen had just put the test results beside her. All these years, since her mother’s death, she had been trying to ignore this. Trying to ignore the fear, trying to ignore the possibility of this disease. Now she knew she carried the gene and inevitably she would have Huntington’s. Amber had just died and who knows when she would but she was guessing it would be from this disease. She felt selfish for thinking that, it didn’t seem right. But she couldn’t help but give in to the fear and imagine herself dying like her mother, inexorably before her prime.

She got up and walked across the room. She wanted to cry but she didn’t. She wanted to cry for Amber and for herself but she wouldn’t let that be a reality. She had to keep her courage, she had to keep her composure. Especially around House, she didn’t know what he would say about this. After all that had happened in the last few days, he would probably be thinking about Wilson and Amber; not her. That was fine and dandy. She didn’t want to reveal it to him anyway. She didn’t even want to take the test, she disliked House for making her take the test. The feeling subsided in a few minutes, she needed to know sometime; she just didn’t want it to be this soon. She wanted to wait until her hands were shaking and other symptoms showed before she took the test. She didn't like worrying. That was stupid, she thought, she had been worrying even before her mom died. She was lying to herself. Admittedly, she didn’t know whether this made her feel better or worse.

She was emotionally and physically exhausted, she turned against a wall, ready to lean. As she leaned back, she felt the wall was not there any longer. She felt like she was falling. Her eyes didn’t show her anything for seconds everything appeared navy blue, then she felt the earth slam into her from below. She had slammed into a beach; she was bewildered for several seconds. Sand was falling from her hair as she stood up, straightening her white coat. She felt dizzy but she continued to steady herself, looking up at the big mansion in front of her. She was wondering if she had passed out and this was her Emerald City.

“Bloody stupid…ack!” Sirius kicked at the crab that tried to grab onto his toe for the umpteenth time that day. He’d decided that some much needed R&R out on the beach would do the trick today, seeing as how the last few days had been cold and terrible. But! There had been Christmas after all, and that had been bloody amazing! He loved Christmas, and hoped that maybe they’d get to have it again…soon too.

As his thoughts drifted the crab managed to finally scuttle off, claws clicking together as Sirius flipped him off. “Bugger off.” He shook his head, going back up to his beach towel that he’d spread out on the warm sand and plopped down. Grabbing his cigarettes from beside the towel he pulled one out, and was about to light it when a woman appeared out of nowhere, landing on the beach about ten feet away from him.

Sirius canted his head to the side, dark strands of hair falling in front of his face. He smoothed them back, watching her for a moment as she stood and looked towards the mansion. He sighed lightly, moving to stand himself and brushed sand off of the back of his swim shorts.

He walked slowly towards the woman, brows furrowed as he watched her. “Hello, there. Pretty sight isn’t it?” He smiled, inclining his head to her. “I’m Sirius Black, and I reckon I should welcome you to the mansion although you’ll probably not believe me seeing as how you’re…” She wasn’t a Healer, what was the Muggle term? “A doctor?” Grey eyes studied her carefully for a moment, and then he smiled once again.

Thirteen looked at the awkward man in front of her, introducing himself. She was lost in what to say, she ignored him for several moments, lost in thought rather than being rude. She looked over the mansion quickly before inadverently pinching herself on the arm. No, this was real, she thought. She just didn't know how it was real, the pain in her tailbone was dissipating quickly and she looked to the sky judging how far her fall was. She shook her head and brushed back her now scraggly bangs hanging in her face.

"Hi, um, ugh. I'm Thirteen." She was still bewildered and in disbelief. She was still listing and exing out things in her head, trying to figure out the puzzle, like her mentor would order her to do. She smelled the salt water and the sweet breeze and she felt oddly at ease thoguh she didn't know why. She should feel uneasy right now, but for some reason tranquility was washing over her. She eyed the handsome man again before taking several steps toward the mansion. She abruptly halted and gave a long sigh, she didn't know what to do at this point, she looked back to the man questioningly.
