Chapter 9- Back Home

*Beep....Beep....Beep....*
Meg twitched. She was awake, but she didn't open her eyes. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was.... dying. She had died. So was this heven?
She opened her eyes, and found herself staring at a tiled ceiling. She sat up, and looked around. She was in a bed, wearing a light green nightgown sort of thing.
She got up and walked over to a window. She heard a car horn honk, and saw several cars and people on the street below. She was home. She looked around. She was in a hospital. A nurse walked in the door, and stared at Meg in shock. "You're awake!" she said.
"What happened?" asked Meg, still not sure what was going on.
"Why, when you went into that cave, you didn't come out for half an hour. Your friends went looking for you, and found you unconsiouss inside the cave. You've been in a coma for the past four days."
"A coma? Then it must have been a dream..." she murmured.


Three days later....

Meg still wasn't certain if what had happened was a dream. "It had to be a dream," she told herself, but it had seemed so.... so real. Meg couldn't stop thinking about the dream, if it was a dream. Her parents were begining to worry about her.
"I'm going for a walk," she told her parents.
Meg walked aimlessly around the neighborhood for awhile. Soon she found herself standing in front of the cave. She sighed. She missed Zelgadiss so much. She... was still in love with him, even though her dream was over... if it was a dream.
"I thought you might be here," said Katie, walking up behind Meg.
"Hi," said Meg.
"What's wrong, Meg? You haven't been the same since.... you know."
Meg shook her head. "I had a dream while I was in a coma. It seemed so real...."
"Oh? What about?"
Meg smirked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Come on! Tell me!"
Meg turned and faced Katie. "You really want to know?" she said, still smirking.
"Yes!"
Meg looked thoughtful. "Sore wa himitsu desu," she said.
Katie pouted. "Well, you wanna go to my place?" she asked, hoping Meg would tell her about the dream later.
"Sure," said Meg, looking back at the cave one last time. She smiled. Maybe she'd meet Zelgadiss again someday....

THE END!!

Author's Note: Maybe I'll write a sequel, that a big MAYBE, folks. But lots and lots of good reviews, and even suggestions, would tilt the odds in favor a sequel. ^_^
