It's been a while guys. You're probably mad at me for not having updated in such a long time and are probably going to be even angrier when you see the length of this chapter. I wasn't really planning on continuing this story (on account of how sucky it is) but you guys convinced me so thank you, I'm really grateful for that. i promise to update more from now on. Thank you sooo much.
-Day
It´s cold, I can't even feel my hands or feet. Everything is white, it's like I'm lost. Everything is silent, it's like I'm empty. Everything is still, I wonder if I'm alive.
And then the beating of my heart brings me back. It's rythical, predictable, steady; it feels safe, it feels lonely. The room is indeed white. Every single inch of it like there is no place for any other color. The sheets stick to my body and I shiver as I rip them away from my body and sit up on the edge of the bed. Almost instantly my head starts pounding and I dubble over as I blink away the black spots in my vision. The moment my feet touch the floor I regret leaving the safety of the bed as I realize the only thing I'm wearing is a paper-thin nightgown that reaches my mid-thigh. The door is unlocked when I try to push it open and in an instant I find myself standing in a long corridor, the left side lined with identical walls while the right side has roof high windows. A crimson carpet runs it's length and contrasts against the sharp white. I start down the hall, shuting the door softly behind me, and I walk. I walk for what feels like hours. My head still feels empty like somethings missing, my heart still keeps the same steady heart beat.
Finally I see somebody else at the end of the hall, a tall boy with auburn hair. He turns around, as if sensing my presence, and stares at me. I don't dare take a single step more, his gaze has got me paralyzed. It's his eyes. Hazel with flecs of gold, look broken, lost as they wander aimlessly through space. They scare me.
"Do you know where we are?" I ask him, my voice in a monotone. It echoes of the walls and vibrates in my ears but all I can hear is actual silence.
"No. I don't. I'm trying to find out." His voice is like mine, slow and steady, drowning in the silence. He doesn't move or say anything else, just keeps on staring on ahead to that unkown spot as if it might safe him. I gather up the courage and start walking again and my heart keeps steady as I pass him.
"Wait. We're both lost. Let's find out where we are together." I'm tempted to say no and when I truna round to face him I'm completely sure of it but then I hesitate. It's something about his face, his eyes. Helplessness. I feel like I know him, I can't just leave him behind.
"Alright come on. What's your name, stranger?" I ask him and sart walking off leting him catch up with me.
"Alex."
"I'm Lena. Lena Haloway."
