ENJOY!
The language they spoke was different and very confusing. I could not understand what they were talking about. They sound very serious. They sound angry, but at who?
I cannot exactly remember what had happened before this moment. It is all fuzzy and dark to me. Confusing. My eyes are closed right now, which I think I should keep them closed. Who are these people? I do not know! I should not open my eyes to find out.
What if they are bad? What if they are good?
Maybe they can tell me were I am. How I got here. But what if they cannot speak English. I cannot speak another language but English. So maybe I should not open my eyes, maybe I should just try and listen to them, I might get something.
I hear feet, stilettos more like it, a girl. Tap! Tap! Tap!
They stopped, they sounded close. She`s next to me, I can hear her breathing!
She just said something and a man replied to her. They both sound concerned. For me? Should I find out and open my eyes? No! I can`t!
"Rei-" the ladies voice said. She said my name, they know me? Should I be happy or worried that she knows me? She does not sound familiar to me, no one I know that is for sure. But who would know me? And someone who knows no English!
I paused my thoughts after hearing my name again.
"Rei...age sixteen. The Doctor will be please," the man said in English.
They are speaking English now, but their accents are strong. What language where they speaking, it did not sound familiar to me.
"He moved!" the lady exclaimed.
Oh! Crap! I moved!
"He is coming to Mariah! Should we get Doc?" the man asked.
Mariah took a deep breath and blew it out. Her breath smelled minty and cold. "No...it is fine Kai, I think we can take care of it." She said, she sounded very happy.
Great! Now I had to open my eyes, they know I am awake. Plus, I cannot keep my eyes closed forever. I would have to open them sooner or later. I sighed as my eyes fluttered open, taking in the bright ceiling lights above me. I narrowed my eyes and looked around. A doctor`s room. I knew that, it was familiar to me.
I looked around and the first person that caught my eyes was a female standing to my right, she was medium height and skinny. Her hair was a wild mess of pink hair, tied up in a pink bow, that surrounded her round face. Her golden eyes glowed with excitement and she smiled revealing white teeth. That must be Mariah.
Then I noticed the man. He was tall and looked around my age. His hair was two shades of blue, light and dark, and was spiked. His crimson eyes watched me carefully and he did not look as happy as Mariah looked. He looked worried. He was Kai.
"Hello Rei!" Mariah chimed in, grabbing my attention. I looked at her, confused. "It is good to see you finally awake, now we can talk." She looked at Kai and waved her hands for him to leave. "Go Kai-Kai! I got this!"
He narrowed his eyes and leaned again the closest wall. "No Mariah. I am staying." He crossed his arms across his chest and then his eyes looked at me again. He was cute!
"Where am I?" I asked when I was finally able to look away from Kai.
"I can`t tell you that yet Rei! What I can tell you is that I will be your guardian while you are visiting! My name is Mariah!" She then pointed a long slender finger towards the boy. "And that boy there is Kai-Kai!"
"Kai! Just Kai! Don`t you ever call me Kai-Kai, human!" he barked, glaring at me as if I were food. I gulped.
Then I turned back to Mariah. "Guardian? What do you mean? Where are my family and my friends?" I started to panic, feeling my heart race and my breathing move faster. Where was I?
She sat down and he face softened. "I`m sorry," she said quietly placing her hand over mine. "You won`t see your family or friends again honey. You are...the last remaining human."
I gawked at her. Last remaining human. What does she mean by that? I could not be the last! Then what was she? She and Kai both looked pretty human to me! Are they aliens that can disguise themselves? "Are you aliens?" I asked feeling very stupid.
She laughed out loud and patted my hand a few time. "No honey, oh no! We are not aliens nor are we human, we`ll explain that later though. First, we must examine you to make sure you are okay."
"Am I still on Earth?" I asked.
"Yes idiot! You are still on Earth! Where else do you think you would be? The moon?" Kai said. I looked at him, he was serious.
"Actually...yes," I said and then looked back at Mariah. I was not going to put up with the boy`s crap about my stupid questions. I was confused, so stupid questions should be expected to be answered. But what concerned me more was that these two beings where neither human nor alien. Then what were they?
"Kai, honey. Can you go get Doc for me? Thank you," Mariah asked. David mumbled something to himself as he left the room. The kid was a real downer in my book.
"I`m sorry about Kai sweetie. He can be a bit of a negative person. But there is nothing we can do about him," Mariah laughed out loud and stood to her feet walking across the room. I watched her carefully, she walked like a human, she looked human definitely! Two arms, and two legs. Hair! Everything!
She opened a cabinet and pulled out a bottle and returned to my side. "Tell me about yourself Rei. What is your favorite color?"
"Um...green, I guess." I sounded confused but she just laughed quietly at me. I frowned.
"I`m sorry for laughing hun. My favorite color is yellow," she smiled as she poured the liquid from the bottle into a small cup. She lifted the cup to the light to get a better look. "What is on your mind Rei?" she asked as she turned the cup side to side.
"What do I have on my mind you ask? Well I want to know what the hell you are. And I want to know exactly where I am! And why I am the last human on Earth! That is what is on my mind," I sighed and closed my eyes tight. "And it is causing me a huge headache and a lot of confusion."
When I opened my eyes Mariah was holding the cup of thick red liquid infront of my face. I eyed it in confusion and then looked at her. She smiled slightly. "Drink it, it`ll make you feel better."
"But, I feel just fine." But I realized I wasn`t as too good as I thought when I tried to sit up. A jolt of pain flew through my body and down my spine, causing me to let out a scream. It hurt and I lied back down taking to cup from Mariah`s hand. "Maybe not..." I said quietly.
Mariah hovered over me as I drank the liquid. It tasted funny yet sweet. Tangy. Sour. Everything that I tasted in the past, put into one drink.
"Now sit up!" she insisted. "I`ll help," she removed the cup and put it away before coming back to assist me.
Her hand lay in the middle of my back as she slowly set me up into a sitting position. She was strong. But then again she was not human.
