I landed hard on my hands and knees. Geez! They sure do know how to treat a guest. (sarcasm) I tried standing up but I immediately felt a sharp pain in my left leg. It feels like its broken, but it might just be sprained. Either way, I can't really move. I heard a loud scream above me. Cole came flying out of nowhere and landed right on top of me forcing me to bend my leg over.
I let out a giant wail. He's not exactly light as a feather. There are some muscles underneath that shirt. He grabbed my back and picked me up. Now he was now holding me like a baby.
"How bad does it hurt"? He asked. I whimpered and he set me down. "A lot I guess". He took off his jacket and ripped off a sleeve. Carefully, he wrapped it around my leg. I was so grateful; I could've hugged him.
"Thanks, Cole" I said. He gasped and pointed up. I followed his finger, but didn't see anything. "What?"
"You're talking, and like a comic book, it comes up in big purple letters above your head. This is really freaking me out. Say… Hi".
I sighed. "Hi". He laughed and said
"Wow, the colors must change according to your mood. Now the letters were orange. Are they doing that for me?" He mumbled some gibberish, but I saw no words form.
"Can we please get out of here? I need to get home." I struggled to stand up, but fell over again. Now I was really getting annoyed.
"Um… could you…?" He grabbed my shoulder and helped me up.
"Hey, you know what? I think we're in Central Park." He said, looking around. It did look like it, but everything was backwards. The last time I was here, that bench was over there, this tree was over here… exc.
"What… so they did some major re decorating" I shrugged. We were getting nowhere like this. "We need to call a cab".
I saw one coming around the corner, and I flagged it down.
"Where to?" The driver asked us. I told him my address. He seemed oblivious to the words above my head, but Cole still looked freaked out.
"That's really far from here, little girl. That is going to cost about 50 dollars."
I looked over at Cole pleadingly. He checked his pockets.
"I don't have any money on me, Kayley, I'm sorry". I groaned. Now we would have to walk. I don't even want to know how long that is going to take. And it looks like it's going to rain. At least Cole still has a jacket to keep him warm. All I'm wearing is my white body suit.
Sadly, I closed the cab door and let him drive away. Then we heard thunder.
"Oh great" I grabbed an empty Tom Thumb bag that was blowing through and put it over my head.
"It might not be a big storm tonight. We still need to find some shelter" Cole led me to the nearest building and we went inside.
"Welcome sir and madam. Are you here to check in?" I heard a woman's voice addressing me. I looked up and gasped.
"What are you doing here?" I shrieked.
