Chapter Three

My eyes stung as Bobby and one of my doctors came in to drip three purple tinted liquid eye drops into my light emerald eyes. The stinging was from the fact that it burned its way to my corneas and was dulling all my sight so that the barely light room was that of that of an unlit tomb.

My throat was burning from the increased acid rising each time I struggled and nearly came close to vomiting. My mind was putty as the time bore on since my Alter came in contact with my fragile form. He was distressed, worried, and I felt his fear ghost across my own cerebral cortex. He had panicked when he felt my pain; I believe that is why he struggled so strongly against the bond he formed without knowing. I had barely any time to help soothe him and spare his body the pain, but as I watched him struggle my own body began to cry in pain desperately to drag me back to where they wanted me.

I cried out for his help, hoping he would reach for me, but I felt it as he struggled towards me how fragile his heart fluttered in his chest as his body rejected his attempt to contact me. I knew as I was the one to actually call to him and connect from now on but I feared what I would find as I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling with forming tears.

How and when could I see if my Alter was fine? None of my relatives with Alters were alive, they had committed suicide a year prior to connecting, and I was still a few years off from the age of twenty one. I gave a muffed cry out into the dark room where I was unsure if I was alone or not; my heart ached for the familiar connection to the Alters mind where his thoughts consisted of vibrant colors and words filled with no understanding to my own thought patterns. I far too young to connect, the problems already showing in both of us as I pondered as to why my heart ached in the chaotic pain from his world, it was addicting and my only desire to merge with his own world was fading as I wanted to experience more of a world I didn't understand.

I turned slightly too where I knew the door was in this small hospital room. My ears opened to the room's sounds to feel the pulse of each noise resounding off of everything in the room-I was a blind bat searching for my prey to sink its vampire fangs into its cortical artery. Nothing stood out so I closed my eyes and tangled my spirit in the thread of my Alter that lingered strongly in the back of my mind. I climbed forward until I felt the even pulse, the strong breathing of raising male chest, the pounding of a heart straining under the pressure of its own desperate beating. I was back inside the body of my Alter, who I failed to feel touch the edges of my form.

Quickly I scanned his mind feeling him out and was astounded to feel the tingle of his own response. He was weak, struggling, and I knew that in time he would be unable to stand my presence as before. I nearly cried as I struggled to pull away, his inner reached out desperately to feel my own energy course him again. Again I yanked away slowly forming a barrier to protect us both so that I could somehow help his body to get use to me as I wormed my way like parasite living off of his own adventures. I found myself in possession of his body for he was far too weak to struggle against me.

My eyes as they opened took in the world; though it was dull not as bright or strong as it was before. I blinked back the confusion and the nauseous feelings that took hold of my new body as I sat up to swerve my legs off the bed. My eyes dimmed in and out before I forced them to take in the world slowly. I could not take in the whole room for fear of sending the body into shock of another overload. Slowly I turned my head after the throb left to see the door closed but slowly opening to show the deer that swallowed a few sips of his drink.

As his eyes rose up to look at me I almost grinned for I didn't feel overwhelmed by anything that the colors or sight I be held. He nearly dropped the cup before rushing forward placing it on the table as he grabbed a few instruments to make sure I was okay. I wanted to speak and tell him that he wouldn't find anything wrong but I couldn't help but allow him to follow what he was obviously taught.

I waited patiently but even that was beginning to wear as he didn't speak but worked. I glanced out the window to stare towards the never ending waters, a soft smile gracing my new lips. This world was beautiful, undying, and something I wanted to save.

The deer spoke and I turned to look at him with a raised brow, though I could see I still had the language barrier between us. I gave a slight shrug before standing up, not forcing my body walk yet, so I could see how my world would tilt if I forced far too much. It wasn't bad actually, I considered, as it felt just like a carnival swing.

The deer protested as he changed, my body reacted by stepping back, my face shocked before I laughed. This world was indeed strange, but I gave him roll of my eyes before walking out of the room and towards where I heard the most noise.

My eyes tried to take in everything around them, but I forced them still and ahead to see only what I needed to. I spotted light and took the door it was at to the outside deck where soon silence was joined by my sudden blindness from the exposing light. I blinked the spots before staring at the faces, some tearful, some surprise, others happy.

My panic arose as I considered the small fact I didn't understand them where they would ask question about how I was feeling. I wasn't sure how they would react to my native tongue, where I knew that if might confuse and worry. I gave a deep sigh before turning to look where I knew there was food; my stomach gave a growl of hungry reminding me that this body didn't have a tube feeding it.

Non-chantey I shrugged ignoring my Alters crew to head up the stairs two at a time before I reached door and opened it forcefully. My mouth salivated as I neared the door and soon blinked when the glimmering object holding it shut caught my attention when I could not open it. I growled in protest with my newly deep voice and turned around to find the smoking man until I nearly rammed into him and three others.

I opened my mouth to say something but the grin that was covering the smoking man's face from eye to hidden eye was enough I shivered with unease. I stood my ground though for I really didn't feel like backing down from his obvious threatening body.

He spoke to me, my Alters body, and I was tempted to just point to the fridge demanding him to unlock it so I could see if anymore of the sweet circles' were in there. He didn't seem to make the jump that I did not understand a word he was speaking. I scanned his face trying to see how intelligent he might be, for my Alter was not as smart as I or my world's people. I gave huff of impatience and turned to face the door again, the smoking man seemed annoyed at this action as he gripped my shoulder and caught my attention as he spoke again. I stared at the hand for a few minutes until I trailed up to his face. He looked concerned meaning I was not acting natural to my Alter.

"I don't speak your language, I am sorry about that." I turned fully to face them as the hand of the smoking man fell to his side. "But you must realize that I am starving." I motioned to the fridge and the other crew looked at with titled heads.

I almost desired to give up until I heard the laughter, faint but still strong, from the cage my Alter was in. He seemed to understand the words the smoking man and others said, which meant he was tapping into the world.

'You're ruining my reputation, shit head.' I titled my head and turned to look around the room.

'I'm unfamiliar with your accusation.' I felt his grin, he was stronger and that made my heart lighten.

'Why the hell can't you understand them and speak normal?' I blinked again as I turned to face them and my hand went out poking the smoking man in the head. His face pulled back as he stared down my arm into my face.

'My conscious has not had the time to adjust, besides I am only nineteen, I am far too young to make perfect contact… I was and still am killing you with my desperate connection.' The group looked at me as if I was some strange alien creature. I couldn't help but laugh out at them while I lowered my hand to hold my side. This was classic and it was another world where I was laughing at for no other reason than a face I could see.

'What are you laughing at?' my Alter sounded as if he was about to die of humiliation but it didn't bother me as much as I knew he wanted it to.

'I find it hilarious that I can see one's face in your world, it is quite interesting… how do I say you look hilarious?' He told me a few lines as I repeated them as I stood there concentrating, it must have been odd but I didn't mind, and the outcome made me keel over with barely any breath.

Here I was trying to take this easy for my Alters body-nothing is every true.

The man gave me a low growl before he lashed out at me with his legs that I failed to see coming through my tears of laughter. I felt my body slam into the fridge slumping to the ground while my Alter cursed the man calling him many things I was unfamiliar with.

"What the hell Sanji?" I repeated what my Alter said to the smoking man, it had his attention as he stared stronger at me. I was tempted to state more that my Alter had cursed out towards Sanji but I knew nothing of the words he was saying. The meaning to them in my language not in very clear for the void to translate.

I allowed them to talk for a few minutes as I leaned my head back onto the cold metal. I was exhausted and it was annoying me, I force my body to relax so my mind could wander and travel to the outer rims of my Alters cage so we could speak with less problems.

'I am exhausted, I wish to know how you feel.' He gave me a sense he really didn't feel up to it and he desire to take a nap. 'Fine, I will allow you rest; I must return to my body… please, do not try to establish a connection, the next time it might kill you.'

'Why are you able to make one with me?' he asked wearily.

'I am near death and my body is being forced to mature at a speed that will kill me if I mature fully.' I blinked in his body before closing his eyes and allowing the body to slip far into its unnatural sleep.

'Why don't your friends save you?' I laughed in our shared thoughts at the image of the people of my world coming to help anyone, even themselves.

'Our world is dying, Alter, all who are fit to die at birth their mothers strangle so they need not feed another mouth.' I began releasing my hold on this mind to return to my body.

'Then why are they trying to save you.' I didn't respond as I vanished, my eyes opening in my own body allowing my ears to pick up the first sounds of breathing not belonging to me.

"You didn't stay long, Zoe, is something the matter on the other side?" the man asked, the one I dreaded to see after he brought me here. "It's a shame you can't talk, Bobby said you have a lovely voice… I'd like to hear it when take over the other world."
