Prologue: In this World to Come- Book 2
Chapter 7: Waking to the familiar
Corn's POV
~*~
Waking up dizzily I feel my head pounding, my eyes opening blurred. I hear voices in my head, what is this sudden array of motion through my blurred eyes. I feel someone's breath on my cheek, could it be the executioner's? I moan as I feel my body pursing with pain like it's been electrified.
"Is he alive?! Corn! Corn wake up!"
I hear him, the voice in my head steams my thoughts. It's him, the one who made me this way, the one who will pay for his clumsy motions. . .
"YoYo! Quit shaking him, his injuries are highly critical"
It's. . . her. The one who loves me, the one who I can trust. I feel the warmth of her touch on my cheek. If it's from her warm lips or soft hand I do not know.
"Gum look! He's starting to grin! He's alive!"
I feel the bed shake at my feet before I hear a punch and a hushed voice coming from Gum to tell YoYo to keep it down.
I start to stir though I feel a firm hand on my shoulder to keep me still. My eyes open clearly to see a woman smiling down at me, could she be an angel? I wince slightly as I try to smile upon the woman.
"It's ok Corn, your going to be ok, Combo and Beat are out getting medicine to keep the pain down, just hold on a bit longer"
I see in the corner of my eye a blurred figure with green hair. He's jumping up and down with glee shouting in joy. Is he happy that I'm not dead, or is he happy to not be fined with death charges. . .
"YoYo! Calm down! Don't think that he being alive is going to be smoother then you think. Because of you he's like this and it's you that's going to be his servant till he's better!"
I watch as the figure immediately stops dancing and pouts. Even through my slightly shut eyes I can see his bottom lip sticking out so far, one could hang a bucket full of water on it.
"Well, fine, be that way! Maybe he should die!"
"YOYO!"
I watch YoYo skate out of the room. I wince as the woman yells. I start crying slowly. Why am I not dead? What happened? Where is my physical body? I feel like nothing but a hopeless spirit, a hopeless spirit. .
