Hey guys! I'm back again! I'm very proud of my self for getting each update out faster! It really helps when your at home and not on vacation. Funny enough :)
Thanks again for the reviews!
And like I promised this chapter is longer than the last one!
Chase's POV
I was surrounded by white, almost as if I was standing in a cloud.
"Hello?!" I called out. "Is anyone there?"
"No ones here, but at the same time, every ones here." A voice said, echoing around where ever I was.
"Great." I muttered under my breath. "A riddle-er, just what I need."
"Oh Chase Davenport, I am no riddle-er." The voice said, sounding indignant
"Where am I? How do you know my name."
"You are in The Beyond, and everyone here know's your name."
"What's The Beyond?"
"It's the place between death and life, passing or no, happiness or not, love or."
"Okay I get it."
"Good, because I could've gone on all day."
"So, do I have to pick wither or not I want to die?"
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean?"
"You get very little choice in the matter, you have to tell me why you want to live, and I say if your worthy enough to go back."
"How many people have proved worthy enough to go back?"
"Under my judgment, or in all?"
"Under your judgment."
"None."
"Wonderful."
"Shall we begin?"
Adam's POV.
As soon as the cyber desk started beeping, it stopped.
"He seems to of stabilized." Mr. Davenport said, sounding confused
"Why do you sound so confused?" Bree asked, the tears that we just falling from her eyes seeming to stop.
"His heart had stopped, but then it started again, all on it's own, we didn't even have to do anything."
"Maybe his capsule did something." Leo suggested, his hands shaking slightly.
"Maybe." Mr. Davenport mussed
"What ever happened, at least he's fighting it." I said, trying to lighten the mood
Chase's POV
"Do you want me to sit? Stand?" I asked the voice, feeling incredibly stupid talking to something I couldn't see
"Standing's fine, you know, unless you want to sit."
"I'll stand."
"Okay Chase, why do you think you deserve to live?"
"Um." I pondered, realizing that I had no idea what to say, since I didn't have any time to plan, and I was much to scared to ask for some planing time.
"Unless you don't want to be alive." The voice said, noticing my hesitation
"No! I want to live!" I exclaimed, starting to feel my self panic.
"By the way your hesitating I would say you don't want to."
"Then stop pressuring me!" I growled
"That's the Chase I'm looking for. Now, why do you want to live?"
"I have to get back to my family."
"Why?"
"If I die, then the person torturing me will go and start torturing my sister, and I can't have that."
"So, the only reason you want to live is because you can't let your family get hurt?"
"Yes."
"Don't you think it would be easier to die though? I mean, what has your family ever done for you?"
"T-that's not important, what matters is that my family is safe."
"Oh Chase, don't you realize that you can't protect your family from everything."
"I can try."
"But what about you? You worry so much about your brothers and sister, but they do nothing to help you."
"L-like I said, t-that' not important."
"But it is Chase, your stammering even proves it."
"H-how does my stammering prove it?"
"If you were perfectly fine with protecting your family from getting hurt, only to be treated like a lower class being, you wouldn't be stammering."
"You have a point."
"Then what's the point in going back if your only going to be treated like your not there, or that your not important."
"There isn't any point."
"So, with that in mind, do you still want to get back to your family, or come with me and be appreciated, a brain like yours comes in handy in the judging."
"I want to go back to my family."
"I knew you were going to say that."
"How?"
"You're to loyal to your family, you'll always be there for them no matter what they do to you."
"So does that mean I get to go back home?"
"Yes Chase, you get to go home."
"Thank you!"
"No, thank you Chase Davenport, you were the first person in the many years I've done this to ever impress me. When the time comes, we will work well together."
And with that the white room disappeared.
Bree's POV
The worst five hours of my life were easily the ones while we were all waiting for Chase to wake up. At one point the cyber desk started to beep again, but stopped again after a couple of seconds. Looking at my brother standing in his capsule, forehead leaning against the door, bandages replacing his shirt and pants (he still had his boxers on), he looked so fragile and vulnerable. It broke my heart to see my usually unbreakable brother so broken.
"He looks so fragile, doesn't he." Leo said, suddenly appearing at my side.
"I've never seen his like this before, even when we were younger, he was the strongest out of all of us."
"Even Adam?"
"Even Adam. When we were little, if so much as touched Adam, he started to cry."
Leo snorted, grinning a little.
"What's so funny?" Adam asked, appearing like magic behind us.
"Nothing." Leo said, trying his best to look innocent.
"I really hope Chase wakes up." I quickly said, not wanting a war to start while my baby brother was dying.
"He will, Chase is stronger than all of us, if anyone could survive this, Chasey can!" Adam exclaimed, a look of pride gracing his face.
"I second that." A voice said from in front of us. I sighed in relief, how I had feared that I was never going to hear that voice again. No matter how weak it was.
"Chase." Leo breathed, moving forward and putting his hand on Chase's capsule. "We were scared that you were never going to wake up."
"I survived, for now." Chase replied, putting his hand up in a mirroring of Leo
"I know what you mean, in the state your in, you could go at any second." I sighed, we had Chase back for now. But for how long?
So... I might of strayed from the plot slightly in these last few chapters, but the next one will pick the plot back up again.
The part about Chase being in The Beyond, and having to convince the voice to let him stay alive, I totally made up, so I'm really sorry if I offended anyone.
Anyway, that was chapter 7!
Review?
