"Hey kid, are you alright? Stay awake!" I heard a faint voice say. I couldn't identify the voice. I couldn't see the source of it very clearly either. My eyes were open but the person had their back turned to me so I couldn't see their face.
From what I could make out though the voice was coming from a young man. He was kneeling over a boy, who was barely awake, obviously struggling to stay awake.
Beside the man was a young woman, her back also turned toward me. It was obvious that neither of them had seen me yet.
It looked like her skin was green but I couldn't quite tell. The young woman was kneeling over a girl about the same age as the boy. She was saying to the, half conscious girl "We are here to help, don't worry.". Although I don't know if I believe her. Not yet at least.
From what I could make out the boy had brown hair and was wearing loose fitting black pants and tee-shirt. He had fair skin and was just starting to become more conscious than he was before. The man set the boy against a wall and walked over to the woman. The boy closed his eyes and didn't open them again but he was definitely breathing.
The girl was fairly similar to the boy, in fact the only thing that was different from him was that she had blonde hair. She was also starting to become more conscious now. But just like the boy, only for a second.
The woman put her against the wall just as the man had done with the boy. The girl was now sitting right next to the boy and they were leaning on each other. The girl fell asleep right next to the boy. I couldn't see their faces and I now realized that there was glass in front of me, keeping me in what I think was a capsule.
I stuck out a hand to feel the glass and it was freezing to the touch. That freezing cold made me realize just how cold it was. Freezing cold. Wait where am I? And that question just made me realize that I don't know where I am or who I am. I don't remember who I was or where I was or how I got there.
The man and woman were talking in hushed tones, their backs still to me. Even if they weren't talking in hushed tones I doubt I would be able to understand them. The glass muffled a lot of the noise.
They were behind what looked like a control console. Maybe a button on the control console could open the capsule I was in. But I couldn't reach it. And I didn't want to alert the man and woman in front of me of my presence. They might be the bad guys.
I leaned my forehead against the glass, suddenly hit with a wave of exhaustion, my neck couldn't hold my head. My head felt like it was full of lead and just too heavy. It guess I did it a little to loudly though because the man turned his head to look at me then said something to the woman next to him, who turned her head to look at me also.
Then the woman got up and started walking toward me. My heart speed up. What are they going to do? Are they going to hurt me?
She walked around the console while the man got up and started walking toward the console. They didn't even have to speak to one another to communicate. They must work together often and well for that to happen.
I couldn't lift my head too look at her though and I could feel my eyelids slowly coming down. I just felt so exhausted and starving and thirsty. When was the last time I ate or had a drink of something? I couldn't remember. Because of all that I knew that if they were bad guys I wouldn't be able to fight or even run away. I'd be helpless and at their mercy. I hated the idea of that.
The man reached the console just as the woman reached the capsule I was in. The man pressed a few buttons and the door started sliding open. I feel through the now open door way of the capsule and the woman caught me. I would have fallen on my face if she had not caught me. She slowly lowered me to the ground but I barely noticed.
She said something to me but I couldn't hear her clearly enough to make anything out. I could tell that I was losing consciousness and fast. The woman said something to me again but then she to realize that I couldn't understand her and then said something to the man instead.
He came over and picked me up, carrying me over to the wall with the boy and girl, who I could now see looked very similar to one another. I think that they are twins. I knew that I had see them before but I couldn't remember from where.
The man set me against the wall next to the girl and then walked over to where the woman stood a few feet away. A boy, about the age of the boy and the girl, came out from the hallway and started walking toward me. It was weird because neither the man nor the woman seemed to see him.
He kneeled in front of me and said something that I couldn't make out. He had this ghostly blueish glow around him and I had this feeling that I know him. He looked like the boy and girl. He had ink black hair and green eyes. He was wearing a blue tee-shirt and black jeans.
I felt like he was my brother for some reason. And that he might just be dead. Like a ghost. And that the other boy and girl were also my siblings.
So one alive brother, one alive sister, and a dead brother. Cool.
The man and woman were now talking to each other and glancing at us. I worked up enough energy to turn my head and looked at the kids next to me. They were both passed out on the wall, they had the same look about them that I imagine I have. They look exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
I turned my head back to the man and woman. Now that I could see them clearly I could properly survey them.
The woman had orange hair and was wearing a mainly black suit except the red X that went across her chest. The thing that stood out the most about her though was that her skin was completely green. Although I got the faint sense that I had seen weirder things than that.
The man had normal skin, light colored, and short black hair. He was wearing black cargo pants and boots with a black tee- shirt on that had an S in a diamond on it.
They both had on wedding rings that were almost the exact same, except for the fact that one was a man's wedding ring and the other was a woman's wedding ring. So they are married. I might be able to use that later on, if I need it.
They were still talking to each other in hushed tones, probably so we couldn't hear them. Just in case. What the heck are they talking about!
I wish that I could hear what they were saying but my ears just didn't work well with my brain at the moment. If I knew what they were talking about maybe I would be able to tell if they were the bad guys or the good guys. Although I got the feeling that they were the good guys. They seemed nice enough.
You can't always just trust people based just on how they look or talk. You need to be careful. Reminded a voice in the back of my head. I think that I am a very suspicious person with trust issues based on how well I know myself already and I've only known myself for about two minutes.
I know that I can trust the boy and girl next to me though. Though the feeling of trust is deeper with the boy in front of me. I could also feel love for the two boys and girl, a sibling kind of love. But I still wondered who they were, as well as who the heck am I.
Suddenly a voice in my head said "The dead one is Zeke.The other boy is Zak.The girl is Lacy. You are Layla.". The weird thing is, though is that it wasn't my voice. If it isn't my voice then who's voice or what's voice was it?
That was the last thing that I remember thinking about before I lost all the consciousness that I had been holding onto and feel asleep against the wall, against my own wishes.
I really hope that they are the good guys and won't kill me and the others while we are unconscious. That would be a bad way to die. Yet that didn't worry me. Not at all. The question is though. Why doesn't it worry me?
