everything had been a complete B L U R
How had it gone so wrong so fast? One minute she was cuffing Anansi, finally getting that web-spinning bastard, and the next she was flat on her back with blood pooling from her head. Three men loomed over her in completely matching black suits.

They started beating her first for information on the town. She kept her mouth shut. She wouldn't put them in danger, not her family. Then they started beating her for the hell of it. Anansi had told them to do as they pleased with her and more than anything it pleased them to watch her bleed.
With too much blood loss she started to fade and as the darkness bled into the side of her vision she prayed he'd know. If anyone could it was Bigby.
Sure enough when she awoke, Aladdin's concerned face loomed over her as they loaded her onto a stretcher. It was a rendezvous team. When she hadn't checked in Bigby went into overdrive.
Now as she sat in the sterile, cold hospital room she knew her family was nearby. Cindy grew anxious, just needing to see them, needing to hold them again. Back there she'd actually been afraid she might not be able to. While a Fables body would always heal if they were popular enough, the mind was still so fragile.

"Hi..."
