Chpt. 5

Total darkness, cold, and the fear that death might be knocking at your doorstep, those were the things Samantha felt every time she wasn't in her body but in her medal with no medawatch for her to be able to speak to the world outside.

'...life.' Samantha thought. 'Life, I hate it. It's so cruel to me and kind to others. What did I do to deserve this? Did I sin so bad that I deserve to be like this? I deserve to go thru this? To have to think about maybe never seeing my family again?'

There was a loud clang sound, pain surged the Samantha. There was another clang, and again and again and again, the pain becoming stronger each time and until it all came to an abrupt stop.

'...mmm, Peppercat lied, that's not how it feels!' Samantha thoght as she remembered the time she asked Peppercat how it felt like when she her medal was taken out of her body with no medawatch.

~"So, how's it feel?"

"Well," Peppercat looks up. "nothing I guess, it's like sleeping with no dreams, very painless, and even though you could be taken out for a long time it only feels like a second since you were taken out."

"Ooooh." Samantha leans back.~

That was 7 years ago, and what Peppercat had said was completely opposite, she felt like she was wide awake, and she dreamed, no, more like daydreamed, or daymared(If that's what you want to call it), about her future.

'Do I even have one? Probably not...I'll probably die, I'll probably have a horrible death with no one to mourn over my death. Life, I hate it. I wish I could just end it here, right now, no one will notice, no one will care, except for my family and friends. But when they do notice it'll all be to late.'

Samantha keeps on thinking about how life is so cruel, letting everything she had just thought of soak in. The darkness seemed to get darker and colder still, the seconds passing by felt like hours and Samantha wished for it all to be over soon. To let her loneliness and suffering finally come to an end.

"Hey, can you hear me? Hellooo, c'mon, say something!" A voice came out suddenly, interrupting her pessimistic thoughts.

"Hm?"

"Oh, good! I thought I lost you there! Brandi came over and somehow got a hold of your medal, she kept on dropping it until I took it away from her!" The voice turned out to be Nathan's voice.

"..."

"I took your body to the repair shop." Nathan then said, trying to start up a conversation. "I need to go pick it up today. It's been nearly a week now."

"..."

"I'm going there right now."

"..."

"Uhm, well, ok."

Seconds later Samantha could hear the the start of on engine and the giggling of a little girl. She sounded like Alexandra. Content, without troubles, innocent. Samantha longed to see her daughter again, to hold her in her arms, to ease her when she's scared, all those things that she was so used to doing everyday. Samantha never noticed how she enjoyed doing these things, and when she found out, it was already to late, now that she gave up on coming back, what if there was no way to go back, all of her work would have been in vain, did she really want to go thru all of that just to find out that it was all worthless? Of course not.

"We're here!" Sang out Nathan's voice. The car door slammed and the sqweaking of a door opening could be heard.

"Welcome the our shop repair medabot." A dull voice came out.

"Spyke! It's 'Welcome to our Medabot Repair Shop'!"

"Ohssorry." Spyke's voice came out slurred and depressed.

"Um, Nathan right? Here's your medabot." Sloan's voice said. He sounded depressed too, but not as bad as Spyke.

After awhile, Samantha could start to see the blurry store clarify. There were many faces looking at her.

"Mmm." Samantha stretches out her arms. "I felt like I was in hell this past week."

"Tell me about it." Spyke said. His head buried in his arms. "Your voice sounds like someone I knew..."

"Really..." Samantha sighs. She knew who he was talking about, but he would never see that person who spoke that same voice anymore.

"Alexandra wait!!"

Alexandra runs into the store, followed by Erika and Brass. Alexandra was crying and she runs immediatly to Spyke and clings onto his leg.

"'Pyke!! When is mommy coming home?" She cried out.

"C'mon, Alexandra! We, need to go meet Crystaline! We can't make her wait!" Erika grabs Alexandra while Brass tries to pry her off of Spyke.

"Miss Alex, please let go of Mr. Spyke!" Brass says as she pulls Alexandra, amazed at the little girls strength. Alexandra finally lets go but she starts crying even more, Spyke, the whole time, had been just looking ahead, unaffected.

Samantha looks at her daughter, she just wanted to go over there and hold her until she stopped crying, to rock her back and forth as she cried in her shoulder and say to her that everything was all right.

"...uhm, it's time to go." Nathan scratches his head. There was an awkward silence after awhile.

"I'm not going." Samantha runs outside and follows Erika to the 24 Hop Mart. There, Crystaline, was glomping Henry.

"Well, their here, bye, Cystal." Henry starts entering the store.

"Wait a sec!!!" Crystaline grabs Henry's collar. "Who told you could leave? Your going to help me take care of Alexandra!"

"No way! I can't take care of children! That reminds me, you can't either."

"Yes I can! If I can take care of a goldfish then I can defenitly take care of a little 6 year old!" Crystaline crosses her arms.

"It lasted 2 weeks!"

"So you do see my point! So I can take care of children and that's that!"

"Well, you go! I'm not!"

"Henry-chan...!" Crystaline growls.

"...oh," Henry backs up. "Eeer, did I say I wasn't? I meant that I was!!" Henry says, his voice filled with fear.

"Good to hear that!!!" Crystaline begins to glomp Henry. "You wouldn't have wanted know what I would've done if you disagreed with me! Well, at least not the hard way!"

"Right..." Henry sighs.

"Sorry we took so long, Miss Crystaline!" Brass apoligizes. "Well, here is Miss Alex, please take care of her real good for us!"

"Yea, I can actually get some work done!" Erika rushes off with Brass hurrying along behind her.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Alexandra sits down and continues her crying from there.

"...this is going to be a long day." Henry says. "Say, why couldn't Peppercat take care of her?"

"Don't know, I forgot to ask Erika." Crystaline kneels down to Alexandra's level and tries to calm her down.

"This is going to be a real long day." Henry kneels next to Crystaline. "I'll give you a lollipop if you stop crying." Henry waves the lollipop temptingly.

"..." Alexandra stares at the lollipop. "Are you stranger from wast time we saw?"

"...." Henry stares at Alexandra, who obviously didn't understand what Alexandra said.

"She said, 'Are you the stranger she met that last time you two saw each other?" Crystaline says.

"...oh! Um, yeah, I saw my life flash infront of my eyes that day." Henry says.

"..." Alexandra starts experiencing another flashback.

~*Flashback*~

"And remember kids, when a stranger kneels down to you and offers you a lollipop, then run away scared and start screaming, help will surely come your way!" The puppet advised.

"Don't asept lollipops..." Alexandra repeats.

~*End of flashback*~

"Heres your lollipop cause you stoped crying!" Henry stops waving it and offers it to Alexandra.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Alexandra takes off running.

"What the hec did you just do?" Crystaline said as she began after Alexandra. "

"How was I supposed to know she was afraid of lollipops?" Henry said as he weaved thru people and made sharp twists and turns. "This is going to be a long long long long day!"

"Alexandra!"

Alexandra runs into Samantha and knocks her down. Samantha tries to get up but Alexandra was on top of her.

"Mommy!!!" Alexandra stumbles up but by then Crystaline catches up and grabs Alexandra. "No...nonononononono!!!" She repeated as she struggled to get free.

Samantha looked at her daughter with her green eyes and gained a new spark of determination. Anybody else, Samantha would have just looked away, even Spyke, but now that she looked at Alexandra's tear-stained face, green eyes streaming with tears, her face cheerless, she decided that maybe, there was really no good reason to give up and wish for it end, even if there is no way to turn back atleast Samantha knew she tried, cause there was someone who needed her alot and Samantha was determined to be there for her.
