The forgotten day

Greetings!

This is my very first story EVER! So I advise you to keep your expectations low (I am but a simple worm).

And I'm going to be blunt, I'm not here to showcase my terrible writing since my skill is as good as a 5th grader :T

All I want is to write down and think of different scenarios in the hunter world, and somehow find inner peace with my tiny otaku-self.

PS: Again, I am not a professional writer so I'm not going to be writing a novel here.

But for now, that is it for the intro in case this story won't live up to your expectations. I do not own any rights to Hunter x Hunter or any of their hot-mess-characters, this is only for my own entertainment and I will use them as I please!

-The text in Italic will be a persons thought. I will change the point of view of a character every now and then so I hope it won't end up being too confusing. This story definitely will not be meant for minors or people who cannot stand gruesome storylines. I do not have all of the plot out and ready so I can't guarantee what sort of text will wait ahead. Also I might use some Japanese terms time to time. *bows and opens the door to my imaginative side*

- This line will cut the persons point of view

The forgotten day

'' Climate change was a myth they said. Well, look outside for once and say that again! Even a monkey understands more!'' I thought to myself grumpily as I stared out of the window.

The weather was disgustingly humid, dark because of the clouds, and just plain ugly with the towering cityscape facing from every corner. The change of pace was quick to see when all the people disappeared like a flock of birds who'd fly away because of a creeping predator. Even though this was the capital, the weather always seemed to play a key role in how many customers visited the place.

It should be fine and dandy, you'd think. Since I was literally getting paid to sit here and do nothing, but I wasn't the type of person who liked to sit still and do nothing.

If I was meant to be at work, then I expected to work.

My muscles were aching to do something since the boredom was killing me at this point and every passing minute felt dreadful. ''So this is summer.. It's fucking depressing. Its only 4 P.M and there is not even a single soul outside. It's not like I can read a book while waiting and I've already done all the things to do today!'' I found myself complaining every passing minute now, but non of that seemed to change the situation, oddly enough. '' I should really move to a different country.. At least the weather would be SOMEWHAT better than here.''

Even though I kept whining inside my head like an old coot, I usually kept a rather neutral expression so people wouldn't get the wrong impression that I wanted to murder them.

With every passing year, I felt like the world was slowly coming to an end from the sheer amount of stupidity that now easily spread, thanks to our modern ways with social media and other platforms. Most media platforms were full of shit and just there for gossip-like opinions, and not facts.

And people around you all pretended to be caring and loving whereas the next moment they would go and spread nonsense about you that wasn't even true, simply to just complain and seem important to others that they know something their so called friends don't. I like to call this the high school syndrome - People in their small social bubble spreading gossip like wild fire just to get some form of attention and ''popularity'' for about 10 minutes.

But not everything was lost. There was plenty good happening as well, but it felt like all the negativity was strongly outweighing the good.

I had nothing major to complain about aside from the two-faced rats around us and how our grand world leaders managed things. On the contrary - I had a very stable life which was better compared to a lot of other people in the world. As much as I wanted to think of myself a saint and take into account every persons suffering and terrible life style, there's only so much a single person can take, and sadly it's not in my power to try and feel responsible for things that was done by big leading nations centuries ago. All we can do is stay humane about it and be reasonable within our range of activity.

A warm home welcomed me every day, with a caring mother and my cat. There was food on my table and plenty of side activities that most people take for granted nowadays.

I have a job that pays well and a best friend who I'd die for.

And yet again, everything irked me. The way these petty people acted and thought, it only made me dislike everything even more.

One moment you would find something great that humans did or discovered, and the next thing you see is some idiot or group doing something a normal person can't even compose in their head, simply because their not that stupid.

And sitting here with this awful cafe music that seemed to play at every god damn place, irritated me even more since I had nothing else to think about right now.

Oh, how I wanted to be home right now. Be home and drink tea. Maybe later harass my cat while watching something. Or just tease my friend and chat about memes over some cake and coffee.

I was never someone who liked a big crowd, or having many friends, so I was always surprised at how well we fit together since we always nagged and made fun of eachother. But I guess that's how you know your friendship lasts. ''Hm, maybe later I'll call her and we can go for some cake. I need some sugar after this depressing day. And if I suffer, you suffer!''

''..ru.'', a faint sound from the back of the kitchen echoed, but I didn't pay attention to it since I wasn't the only staff member in the cafe at the moment.

''I wonder if I should go grab something to eat after work, or go for that cake. If I manage to get off early enough to run to the store that is. So maybe cake it is.''

''ARU!..''

I jumped up from the counter to look behind me, and I could literally feel my heart sink to my gut from that sudden shock.

''Jesus fucking Christ..'' I huffed out loud as I calmed down after seeing my manager walk up to me from the kitchen. ''I thought I was gonna die for a moment there, don't scare me like that, Kate''

Kate laughed as she approached me and reached her hand out to ruffle my fairly short hair.

''You won't though, there there!'' She babied me, trying to mock me in a friendly tone.

Kate, my manager, was shorter than me, so when she looked up to me I couldn't help but smile at her simple action, as she was the one who looked like a kid.

'' You know very well that that won't be enough to annoy me'' I finished fixing up the last strands of hair from my face.

'' By the way, did you call me before? I think I heard something but I guess I wasn't paying attention'' I watched her walk around the counter as I asked that.

'' You guess, pff. Yeah, I did call you yea, I figured you were daydreaming about hot guys so I thought I'd come here and get your attention back.'' She commented with a straight face and I had to snort at that.

'' Not entirely wrong there, but c'mon. You know when I'm bored I think about food.'' I leaned my arms on the counter as I watched her write some stuff in her notepad.

'' That's true. No man can win your heart over a delicious meal and some dessert.'' She laughed after saying that, and as hard as I tried to look serious, I couldn't help but grin and giggle.

''But aside from that, looks like the weather won't change much for the time being,'' I said with a more bored tone this time, while again, looking around the place, and back at her.

''Pretty much yeah. I saw the weather report, and it is most likely going to stay like this for another two weeks. Plus tonight it was supposed to be a storm or something. I have no idea what's up with the weather this month. I know it's been going worse by the year, but even people on the smart-ass-net kept saying that what's been happening around here is fairly odd. The last time something like this happened was almost two or more centuries ago. No idea where they even get that info, but yea.''

I furrowed my brows and sighed out deeply after hearing those news. '' Well, at least there's something interesting out there for those people. Studying the weather and what-not-''

I sighed, ''This sucks. I was hoping to go to the circus at least once before they take a hike from this city. Guess I have to wait for another time.'' I stretched my body and leaned myself against the counter to let my back rest a little.

'' You're into circus acts, heh.'' She looked back at me while I whined about small matters.

I had slowly grown tired of being patient as days went by with this ominous weather for the past three weeks. Even the news said that this kind of thing is new for this season and that there will be a lot of thunder storms coming along with temperature changes, apparently, as they had said, that these weather changes started happening too suddenly and for scientists it isn't making much sense.

Kate rested her head against her palm and kept gazing back and forth from me and the clock. '' Yea, it's no fun like this. I wonder what's going on in the world.''

'' Yea, the only country where nothing happens, Earth picked the right time to fuck us over - oh, pardon my language, I shouldn't curse in front of kids.'' I looked a little shocked as I stared at her and she simply whacked her notepad against my head.

A giggle escaped my mouth while I pretended to be in immense pain.

'' Exactly, hasn't your grandma ever taught you ANY manners?'' She spoke back, dramatic like a small old lady.

We had our fun as we chatted away for a little bit more, until Kate got a phone call and she excused herself for a moment. The smile on my face slowly faded away as I was once again forced to switch out of chat-mode and back to staring at the city landscape.

Light raindrops could be seen on the high ceiling windows as I focused my gaze on it.

It didn't even surprise me that I spotted some hail on the other side of the house while in the distance some sun rays could be seen shining through the thick clouds.

None of this surprised me. ''What's next, thunder and snow?'' I commented sarcastically.

Kate came back and looked at me for a little while.

I raised an eyebrow at her while smiling. ''What is it ?'' I asked after seeing her have a smug look on her face. She giggled a little and just pointed at the computer that was in front of me, then shooing me away as if I was some stray cat in the building.

I glanced at it, still looking at her confused. Her smile broadened and she tapped the screen with her pen. ''You can sign out for today. There won't be any guests anyway, I'm sure. And even if there will be, I think I can manage. They don't call me the manager for nothing, y'know~'' She giggled at her own pun and I smiled back at her cheapishly.

I straightened my back as I felt like I was growing into an old woman and grunted as I felt my bones crack.

'' Hmmm if you say so, manager, but don't come calling me in an hour later, saying it's a full house and that I need to come back. Because you know I won't.'' I tapped on the computer screen several times to check out.

Patting her shoulder once, I took my leave towards the ''Staff Only'' door and walked with my hand in mid air, waving, ''Cya around tomorrow then, manager~.''

'' Bye Aru, don't die on your way home!'' She teased and giggled at the same time.

''As if anything in this world can kill me. Stop hoping for too much!'' I shouted my last two words before closing the changing room door behind me and locking it. I still heard Kate say something, but I didn't quite catch what, so I just started changing out of my work clothes.

Knowing that the weather was going to shit I thanked myself for bringing along a comfy, fluffy black hoodie-like jacket and some black tights to put under my skirt.

I grabbed my bag and headed out of the changing room, turning towards the kitchen door, ''Cya guys! Have fun at work, and don't tease Kate so much when I'm not around. You're gonna make me miss out on all the fun that way.'' I shouted out to Riku and Kain, our chefs who made the best food in my opinion.

I didn't cook myself, but depended on my best friend Aya to make delicious dishes for me. So, so far my other ability, next to being annoying and whiny, was to criticize someone else's cooking, because I was spoiled to the core with skilled people around me.

Aya loved to cook anyway, unlike me. So when ever she called me and said to come over, you bet your sweet potatoes that I went.

''Ja ne, Aru!'' Riku and Kain both yelled after me when I was basically running out of the door and waving at them.

'' Finally I'm out of this place. Now..my music, music, music..'' I was looking around in my bag for my player while walking towards the bus stop that was ten minutes away from the cafe. Yes I needed a player because apps don't exactly follow up on soundtracks and opening songs, along with ambient music that I wanted. Sure you did more work in finding and uploading, but at least you had what you wanted.

''Now I can block myself out of this world and the noise.'' As much as I never had anything against any of the people who I interacted with, I never found most of them interesting enough to truly enjoy their company. For me a friend was someone who I could connect with, joke with, whine with and share painful experiences with.

For me, everyone else, be it a good or a bad person, were just humans I could talk to- Just people to kill some time with - But not literally! God, I wasn't a depressed lunatic or anything.

So, the only person I could ever truly be myself with, was Aya. I have known her for more than half of my life because of school years. And I'm already 21.

Time goes by so fast nowadays. Sometimes I even forget that certain things happened two years ago, while nothing major seemed to have happened. ''I'm going to be so old once I finish with university and get our business running.''

I walked down a familiar street that I always did when going home. Mostly listening to soundtracks, theme songs, gaming music. Plus some catchy K-pop songs that I simply couldn't get out of my head once I heard them. But when it came down to wanting to relax, a nice relaxing new-age jazz was always on my list, along with classical stuff and some old rock.

You gotta be a potato of culture, obviously. You can't have just one thing rot your brain, but multiple things!

''Yogoto kanageru… re~quiem-u, kanjita yo sosoritatsu hodo ni, oishisou de ne~ mitsuketa~.''

Now to most, that wouldn't make much sense. And you don't need to understand it unless you want to know how a creepy killer is trying to find you and gouge out your eyes, that is.

It's Hisokas character theme song and the lyrics are pretty gruesome in many ways. Not to mention just plain.. Hisoka-like.(If there's anyone out there who is curious enough, go check out the english lyrics; They are entertaining on their own )

As weird and creepy as it may be, wanting to know and understand how some of the most broken people in the world work can make you see things in a different light and make you appreciate certain normalities that life, and your genes, have given you.

But having a mom who works in the law department certainly helps along with that. You get the luxury of watching crime shows and pretty fucked up movies at an early age, unless your nerves aren't built for that. Then I guess that can be a pretty messed up way to grow up.

'' Ah, here we go.'' I switched through some more songs as I dragged my feet along the ground until I felt a shiver, simply thinking that it was going to rain soon as the wind was picking up in an odd way all of a sudden.

My mind was tuned in to the melody coming from my buds while feeling a little uncomfortable as a tingle went down my spine, a few prickles and icy shivers running over my skin as well.

'' Well, I won't be styaing outside, that's for sure,'' I thought, as if what ever has been going on, was normal at this point. A shift in temperature didn't seem abnormal and I tried to pick up my pace to stay warm.

I looked up to the sky and only saw dark gray. ''Hmph, yea, just float around there. Stupid clouds..'' I pocketed my hands because I could feel the cold wind slowly biting on my skin and started to walk faster through the alley way that I had turned to a few seconds ago.

'' I'll just go around then. I'm not having that shitty wind blow in my face for another 7 minutes.'' I walked by some old dumpsters and a whole lot of newspaper stacks. This place was literally a dump. '' Why hasn't this place been cleaned up.. It's going to go all over the place with this storm.''

As I was thinking to myself just then, something hit me from the inside, and I stopped, my line of sight going white all of a sudden.

There was immense pain that cut my breathing for a moment, before I realized that I wasn't breathing anymore.

My face went pale and I felt an odd surge of energy run through my nerves as if something had hit every spot of my nerve ends. I strongly patted my chest to remind my body to function and take a deep breath.

" ..what the-" I coughed gently, still trying to understand what just happened.

I burrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I didn't understand why I felt this all of a sudden, or what came over me.

My whole body trembled for a minute, before I started to notice that my breathing kicked in and my heart rate slowed down faster than normal. There was a mild uncomfortable beating sensation that I felt in my veins that made me feel sick to my stomach as my blood circulation was slowing down.

My eyes scanned the area, mild panic kicking as if I was trying to search my body for anything unusual, but started feeling far worse than a second ago.

I sat down on a random box next to me so I wouldn't actually fall and hit my head from this abnormal situation, because I felt myself growing more lightheaded by the second. ''This is not good.. Just what on Earth is happening... I should call someone for help..'' I started to slowly panic in my head when I saw my hands shaking. There was also a moment where my muscles felt like steel. '' What is this... everything feels heavy.. What in the fuck is going on with my body! No.. no I can't panic.. maybe call a taxi and go to the hospital?'' As heavy as my body felt at the moment, I tried my best to push myself off the cardboard box that I had stumped on to take a break. I tried not to over analyze myself and make the best of the situation. ''I should try and go back to the cafe for now and have something warm, maybe that will help. I can just call a taxi if I feel like I can't go home anymore.''

All I knew now, was to either wait for it to go away or actually find some place warm to go and possibly call the hospital or my mom and see to it then.

But just as I was trying to get up my legs failed me and I crumbled back down on the box.

No good, my body simply felt too heavy to push it back up. ''Lack of blood circulation and air .. this can't be good.. Is this for real..''

My head started to spin and I tried to take deeper breaths so that my blood flow would reach my brain so I would be able to do SOMETHING.

I slowly grabbed my head and rubbed it slowly while lowering it down on my bent knees. ''UGH! I feel so crap!'' I shouted violently, hoping that my voice would make this feeling go away.

I gripped onto my head more when I actually felt like I couldn't bring myself to even hold my balance while sitting. '' This really isn't a good spot.. I need to go back or call someone..'' I tried to tell myself, but the more I tried to reach and fumble around my bag, and undo the zipper, the more I realized that my hands felt so stiff that I wasn't even able to grip the zipper.

This entire thing made me feel so frustrated that I tried to cry out for help, but my voice also had grown weak and unsteady.

And even though I was trying to struggle against the uncomfortable feeling in my bones and the icy air, I suddenly felt my heart ache in uneven ways.

''!…'' I still had my head down on my knees. And with a really heavy and a shaky arm, I tried to move it over my chest and feel the rhythm that my heart was making. It was drastically slow, too slow. My eyes widened in shock and I started to tremble. ''This is a joke right… I'm not that old to be having heart issues. What is happening!'' I kept asking that over and over again in my head.

There was another rough beat.

This time it felt like electricity went through my body that ignited my cells with tingling pain.

I tried to gasp for air, as it paralyzed my breathing for a second. Not much sooner did I realize that my hearing had dimmed substantially and all I could make out from the music was just muffled noises and vibration.

Every sensation in me felt as if it was being turned off one by one and I tried to frantically look around the area with my eyes, to see any passing person who would notice my dire situation.

A new electrical surge hit me.

Now I was holding onto my chest tighter with both hands, simply from pure reflex, shaking as I was trying to endure this horrible feeling. It was like trying to keep something from popping out and tearing me to shreds. ''This is not happening, it just can't be. Why me.. why now..''

A small passing thought came in my head after coming to a drastic conclusion of everything that was happening right now. And it wasn't a reassuring thought.

''What if I die… what if I die in this fucking alley and nobody will come. I can't even move myself..'' I was panicking too much to even notice that it started to rain a few minutes ago. All I could feel were those electric pulses going through my body which made me tremble. ''I don't want to die here. Not now. PLEASE! I still.. my friend.. There's nothing-''

The need to cry was crippling in my throat, but I had absolutely no strength to even do so. All I could feel were the warm tears forming in my eyes that began to fall along side the rain.

''It ..hurts…'' I managed to squeeze out a tiny voice as the pain was becoming unbearable at this point. I could barely hear my own words and I began to silently cry to myself as I had no way of helping myself. My world was slowly crumbling around me, and even inside of me. My head was a mess and I couldn't even console myself, because my thoughts, and the pain along side it, were too loud.

I was just sitting here, in pain, alone. I couldn't even call out for help, not even a word. I felt completely helpless.

My teeth rattled against eachother and my eyes were burning from the tears that were falling. I could barely even see. My own breath was so raspy and uneven that I didn't even know if I was breathing at this point.

And yet, the electric pulses didn't stop. They kept hitting me and draining my energy with each passing moment as my body was trying to keep itself functioning.

I felt my head spin as if I was suddenly thrown into a pool and there was a tornado inside it. At this point I was not able to even focus what was in front of me anymore. Everything was happening so slowly, yet it was all a mess and it seemed to go by so fast.. The pain felt like an eternity. My head was killing me, and I was slowly realizing that I was not able to keep myself together for much longer. My body grew more icy and stiff as the colors started to drift from one tone to the other.

..Why I had not moved in the beginning was still a mystery to me. Why did I stay there and sit like an idiot. Why didn't I do anything right away when I started feeling off.

.. But.. how.

I wasn't a sickly person, nor was I unhealthy. Sure I had my ups and downs when I was very young, but I was an adult now. I wouldn't have these sort of issues hit me out of the blue unless I was very ill.

I hadn't mistreated my body in any way.. so why .. how did it come to this. What triggered my body to break down and act like this.

No.. this didn't help. The more I thought, the more my ideas scrambled and nothing seemed to make any sense anymore.

That's when I felt all rationality leaving me and I lost my balance completely. Everything went black and my eyes rolled to the back of my head as I was feverishly shaking on the ground, my body and mind was losing control of one another.

I couldn't see. My mind had seemed to slow down after that small attack, but my body was still acting up, yet I couldn't control it at all. But my mind was at peace. It's as if I had unattached my head from my shoulders and placed it on the side. All I could manage, was lay there in the dirt with the rain pouring over my stiff body and wait for the inevitable.

My eyes were blank, and my face had no emotion on it. For someone else, it would seem as if I was dead.

That thought alone broke my heart and my mind. I was left here on the cold pavement to rot away..

As the moment passed where I came to that conclusion, I could still feel the tears running down my face, as if I had been crying all along without knowing it.

The pulsing stopped in my body all together - the pain, along with my heart.

''My heart stopped.'' It was the last thing my mind could register before my life-line was cut off for good and everything dimmed out as emptiness fell over my cold body.

.

.

.

''It's dark here.. What was I doing again? Why am I even thinking about something like that. I don't understand.. Where am I. What happened.''

.

.

.

''Should something be happening, and should something matter? Why do I have the need to think. What is this? It's so dark I can't see.. What am I- Where is this.''

.

.

.

''But.. what should I know. What do I want to see.. Me.. Am I something? An image - creation - life.. See?- Vision? Should I be able to see something? Does that mean I am something after all? Do I have something more than.. this? This existence here.. this place- where did it come from. What is THIS that I feel like I want to know.''

.

.

.

''Intellect.. If I'm able to know I am something, then I have a connection to something. The feeling of existing.. the feeling of life.. that is creation, right? The mind, body and…'' I saw something flash before me out of nowhere. ''The soul? I am a part of something, right? I'm-''

I felt like a thousand needles had pierced through my very being. I had images going through me in a blink of an eye. As if ideas were being crammed into one area at a time, and I had the front row seat to e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

''Is that life?.. life…what is life?..I don't know what I need to know at the moment. But this- these things, I enjoy it.. these.. feelings, maybe. I think that's what they're supposed to be...'' I had more images go past without knowing the clear connection to any of it. My whole existence was a mystery at this point, and I wasn't even sure if any of this meant anything, or if I was just a passing by energy source that would disappear at any given moment, and I was simply given this brief miracle, to experience such magic.

My whole life was going by in a short instant like it was nothing - just a short clip, nothing more. The time I had spent seeing my life pass me felt like a programming code that was being copied into my mind in a millisecond. Yet I couldn't even shed the tiniest of emotion for these images as I didn't know what they meant to me.

''What is this that I'm witnessing. What are they, and do I know them. Am I connected to this? There's so much chaos. These creatures, what do they do. What's the purpose. What's the reason for these people to exist.. People? Are they these things that I'm missing? But.. Is that what I am.. too? I'm one of those beings? A being like these others. A network of such.. Am I a living being that can think of such things that I'm seeing. Is there a link to all of this? I have the right to think, don't I?'' Certain things started to make sense again. But why? What made me see these images? What was it that made sense, but yet leave me so confused at the same time. Why am I in such a situation? I felt a few prickling feelings as my mind kept wondering off with more question about all of this, and myself.

So many questions, but I wasn't able to grasp the meaning behind it. What was This.

Did something happen to me since I seemed to have lost the connection to.. whatever This thing was - and was it really important after all, or was it an impulse, just the passing of some creation that was there but gone the next moment.

I felt something for a moment again, but this time stronger. ''I can feel.. something. I seem to have some system that feels and knows this. This system knows how to gather information.. possibly a singular form of body that can store this information. So am I a being, an actual being of reason, a creature that is able to feel emotions and objects through contact with others? So - Why am I like this. This place, what is it?''

I felt a small sting in my vision. ''What was that!?''

There it was again.

It's like something is burning through me. ''Something was burning me?'' I felt it all too clear to think that I was senile and imagining things, now that I had been here and seeing all of these things around me.

There was no sound, but just the painful stings of needles and the feeling of being burned. It felt like I was moving in lightspeed.

Everything was going forwards so fast that the images were just mere light now and I was losing my reasoning once again.

I was burning up as someone was stuffing all these painful feelings and mind boggling images into me.

I knew I didn't have a body, I couldn't feel anything else around me except for my thoughts, and the rushing feeling of being pushed forward. A sheer painful experience of stress over the mind.

But now it felt like I was pulled towards something instead. Instead of being crushed in one spot.

''It hurts so much it's unbearable. I want it to stop!'' I felt like I was going to explode from the surge of pressure that was being pushed onto me from the speed.

Suddenly it all got cut off and it went pitch black. There was a certain suffocating feeling of loneliness and pressure that I never felt before. I felt as if my being was smothered by something so overwhelming that I couldn't fight it off. It was crushing everything around me, including myself.

That's when I lost consciousness with my mind completely - Disconnected from everything.

''Do you think it worked?''

''The body should be functioning just fine in some time. This took a lot of energy from him and also from us. If this experiment is a success then she won't need to suffer anymore. We can't have anymore failures.''

''I hope so. If the wish we made now was the correct one, then that means our effort in this case was not in vain.''

''That is true. I'm afraid if this is a fluke then we need to make changes in our plans. We will not be getting that amount sent to us for more experiments and overall the ties will be cut. We literally can't afford to make any more mistakes than we already have. Those people are valuable customers, after all.''

''Mm, they have been generous with their funding up until now for sure. I am actually surprised, but that just shows how eager they are to see the results.''

''..For now we need to take every move as a risk. As generous as they have been, I highly doubt they will continue to be so. Even if they cannot do anything to harm us or our business, it will still do damage to our given resources and that would only be a complete waste of time and effort on something that we were originally not meant to do in the first place.''

The old man smiled. ''I will head back up for now. I suggest for you to stay here. It would be best to monitor any faint movement and reaction in case there is any change.'' The man started heading towards a small staircase that was in the cold basement room. The room itself could be mistaken for a secret agency hideout with all the tech laying around the place.

''I will report back as soon as I notice anything unusual with the experiment. If you think you have the need to come back then please, bring something edible with you.'' The mans tone was emotionless but firm. The older one laughed in low tone and opened the door to the room.

''I do hope you know your limits, I do not want to end up finding two unconscious bodies when I return. For myself.. my old age seems to finally show itself so I will have to dine tonight'' He closed the door and walked away soundlessly.

The younger man stared at the door for a moment in the dim light that the monitors and other tech machinery gave off before reverting his eyes back at the lifeless-like body laying on a surgical bed in the middle of the room.

The body was hooked up to all kinds of wires. Ones that were stuck on the body, and the others that were in and out of the body. For now even he didn't know what connected to what. So he made sure not to approach any cable or wire in the room. His emotionless black eyes moved to the hand of the pale body immediately after noticing a twitch in the fingers that could not be seen by a normal person from such a distance. The movement had been faint but it was enough to reassure him that all was well for now.

The body had life.

He approached in a careful manner, paying attention to any obstacle that might catch his feet. He never took his eyes off of the body, still scanning for movements.

''Nothing can interfere, if anyone tries to even enter this place and take even a moment of my work, they will not see anything besides my face again.''

He took a seat next to the bed that was meant for the old man, in case he would grow tired of waiting TOO long.

There was a faint noise, but more like an echo that could be felt. It was odd..

And weirdly enough, it felt horrible.

Feeling anything at the moment felt like going through hell's pain, to be exact.'' I want to move. But I can't be bothered..'' I thought for a moment, as everything in my body seemed to be completely out of it and tired.

It was the feeling of coming back to life.

And after having agony stir deep inside my body, I was met with a surge of senses siddenly kicking in and almost activating on command. That gave me a moment to register certain things around me. Even thought it made me feel sick to my stomach.

''There is something there. Another person? Why can't I call out or move?'' It was frustrating to know that I felt like I was laying down, but had no strength or power to even open my eyes.

'' It feels so cold, just like before. Am I dying still? Is this why I can't move at all? Wait..what happened exactly..'' I was getting beyond annoyed. My mind was clear as it could be, but I couldn't see or hear. Not to mention moving this stiff body was out of the question. All I could do was feel my slowly functioning body and the sound waves that surrounded me.

''This place feels warm, I hope I can recover.''

He noticed another movement from the body but this time it was the lips. ''Could they be recovering from such a shock so soon?'' He saw more movement and his eyes widened in amazement. ''This person has a lot of will power to be able to move a half dead body.'' He kept his focus on the girls face and was taken aback when he saw the lips parting.

''I need to move. This is killing me. Please for fuck sake. Voice! I need my voice! SOMEONE. I don't know what's happening!''

Out came a heavier huff than my body managed at the moment. It was more like a cry for help in a really silent way.

I needed to know why I was still so stiff. I wanted to reassure myself that I was laying in a hospital bed and that I was under narcosis. Was that the reason why I wasn't able to move?

While I was frantically pushing my mind to move my body, I felt something behind my head. It was warm. ''Contact with..something?'' I stopped any trace of thought and kept my focus on what was happening to my body. Something was pushing my head up a bit.

In that moment there was a ray of light piercing through my eyes.

I panicked.

It burned. The feeling of seeing light burned through my iris and I wanted it to stop.

Something was trying to prey my eyelids open, and it was too bright so I desperately wanted to cry out. ''My fucking god, stop, please just STOP…'' My eyes closed at that point, and it was dark again, but I felt movement in my eyes. I could move them.

I started feeling my body better now after that terrible experience with my vision.

Fingers, my breath, chest, feet.

Everything that seemed normal to check over seemed to be there. Nothing was missing. And I'm guessing since my mind was clear enough to know what is right and wrong, that there shouldn't be anything wrong with me. ''I must have been found after quite a while if my body is in this terrible shape, I feel so weak.''

In that moment I felt something brush against my cheek and then my ear.

It felt weird because not all feeling in my skin was back yet, and the sensation left it tingly.

''..an.. ou.. ar me.''

Was that sound? ''What?.. Is someone actually there? How did I not notice.'' There was a touch on my ear again and I felt it more now. It was a tingling feeling, but I felt it.

''Can you hear me?''

I was calm for a second, being happy over the fact I had no injury to my sight or hearing. But for crying out loud was everything loud!

But just who did I heard?

It seemed to be a male, according to the low voice. I went through the words again in my head.

''That is strange, I understood him but I can't recall knowing this language. In instinctive ways I understand perfectly fine. But I can't bring any letter images in my head of what language it could be. Maybe there is something wrong in my head after all.''

''IF you can hear me, can you try moving any part of your body for me, so I can understand that you're responsive and conscious,'' the low almost silent voice echoed in my mind for a moment before thinking over what was being said to me.

''I think I'm capable of moving my eyes.. everything else seems too much effort. Ill just go with that.'' I wanted to open my eyes slowly, but the blue light was too much for me and it instantly made my eyes water. 'Okay, maybe not!''

I decided to just leave my eyes closed for now and just faintly enough moved them left and right. Even though it seemed that my body was still dehydrated, so I wasn't able to move my eyes too well without it feeling like I was rubbing my eyes against sandpaper.

''I need to do this a second time as well? Fuck me.'' As much as it burned and stung, I managed to move them the same way I did before.

''If this is only to move my eyes, then I can't imagine moving any other part of my body.'' For now I didn't hear or feel anything after giving my movement response to the person.

''I confirmed your current status to someone else who is dealing with your case. Rest assure, your body is healing just fine and in a very fast pace. You should concentrate your will into getting your system to work fully, and rest.''

There were so many words I couldn't picture as exact words in my head, but I understood what he said. ''So I'm recovering from what ever happened to me. That is good to know.'' I felt relieved.

I relaxed my body from any stress I might have caused it. All this thinking, and all this recovery.. just what happen to me?

This was so tiring. And honestly I didn't want to think any more. I just wanted to catch up on some sleep and give into the relaxing feeling of laying down, knowing I'm safe.

I could hear faint sounds in the distance as I relaxed myself and focused on trying to fall asleep.

The soothing low noises were relaxing, so after a while I actually started to grow tired drifting in and out of sleep. It's as if someone just took out my battery and I had to shut down my mind.

Someone was typing on a keyboard. That's all I heard before I blanked out.

''Tired, so so tired. '' The next second my mind fell asleep and everything seemed to be in harmony, for now.
