The Black Rose
I could still hear things, I guess that my soul was still in the room and I could notice several things. I could hear several heart beats and a rough voice telling a few doctors what to do and I could hear the rain ticking against the windows of the hospital room, I could even hear the drops that fell on the plants and on the already wet dirt.
I opened my eyes for a millimeter and I was surprised that I could see clearly. I could clearly see the ceiling and even the dust in the air, I could also see the four faces of the doctors who were still trying to make my heart beat without any success. The doctors noticed this too; they left the room and followed my family to tell them I had died. But that wasn't true, I wasn't dead. I was alone in the room.
I didn't breath, my heart didn't beat and I was alive.
What the hell?
I opened my eyes completely and was stunned by the sharpest view I ever had, everything was so clear I could truly see everything. I got out of the bed and walked across the room, I did this so fast that I couldn't even remember the actual act and it was as if there was no movement. I couldn't be more confused.
I felt really strong which was unexpected since I had been in a hospital suffering from excruciating pain. I shuddered as I remembered the feeling of the knowledge that I was going to die in so much pain. I didn't think I really was alive or dead, but I had no idea what I could possibly be.
I wondered if I could breathe, I inhaled very slowly through my nose and I smelled the hospital, my own scent which was actually very nice and the predominant scent was absolutely mouthwatering, it also made my throat burn and made some sort of fluid flow in my mouth. That was new, why would it do that? But before I could even consider that, my instincts told me what it was. I didn't want to do it, I couldn't do it. I did not want to attack someone and most of all; I didn't want to drink someone's blood. I stopped breathing immediately, it didn't help much though, I could still perfectly remember the scent. And I could hear a lot of heartbeats, that all sounded very appealing.
I heard footsteps coming down the corridor, the heartbeat was closer than the others and I had to give everything to stay in control. I decided quickly I had to leave the city so I couldn't attack anyone, but where to go? I could think about that later, first I had to get out of the hospital. I couldn't go out the door, because there was someone. I had to jump out of the window I realized, I walked over to the glass and measured the height, it was far too high for me to jump, about 20 meters. And I couldn't open the window, so that wasn't an option. Was it?
I walked to the opposite wall and ran towards the glass, I could hear the glass break and fall, but I didn't feel any pain. It felt like I jumped trough a large piece of very fragile paper. The ground wasn't that far away, I could easily land in the garden behind the hospital, just as when I was jumping from the roof of my home. I couldn't go there anymore, I was too dangerous for my family and I didn't want to hurt them.
When came on the floor I broke out in a sprint, I thought it wouldn't be the best idea for people to notice me, to see a girl spring through a window wasn't something you see every day.
I could run fast, really, really fast. Faster than a car could drive, even if that car was a Ferrari. I thought it was so fast that I was invisible to other people.
I didn't stop running until I was in the first forest I saw, I ran until I was really deep in the woods and there I stopped in a little meadow. I stood there for a while, listening to the sounds of the birds around me, I could hear them very clearly. And then I started wondering what the hell had happened to me.
I just couldn't understand.
Then I heard someone approaching, very fast. I started running again, but then I heard him shout:
"Wait, don't run away! I mean no harm!"
And I stopped running, not because of his pleading, but because I was stunned by the beauty of his voice. I didn't face him, I was too afraid. I gained a little courage and shouted back.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
I was in shock, my voice was also beautiful, but I couldn't recognize it.
"Turn around, please" He said and I did.
He was gorgeous, unbelievable gorgeous, I was shocked, again.
"I am here for your company, I am lonely and when I saw you running I followed you"
He saw me running, I guess I was not as fast as I thought I was
