Last time: It felt like my brain was going to explode with all the new information I was getting all the time. I then felt hands hold my shoulder but when it did, the sudden overload of pictures of life, feelings and memories suddenly rushed my already inside beaten body and I then fell into blissful unconsciousness where I wouldn't be able to hear or feel a thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were five people in the room, even without opening my eyes I somehow knew. I could feel them there. I could hear them talking but I thought my senses were still going a bit haywire. I had thought that because I could hear their conversation but the volume would suddenly jump and then drop down to suddenly jump again.
"Doctor, I think he's showing signs of waking up." It was a female voice. I had never heard it before though.
: I wonder if this is has affected him mentally?:
"How do you know? His eyes are still in the R.E.M stage." (A.N Rapid Eye Movement. I'm pretty sure that's what happens when you're dreaming so that's in the middle stage of sleeping. Which means the person isn't near waking.) That was defiantly the firm voice of Doctor.
What happened? You seemed fine before, but then something happened. What? We have to find out.
"Sir, I think Beth is right. The R.E.M only started a minute ago." This time it as a male voice.
[Why hasn't he opened his eyes? His eyes are moving like he is experiencing a nightmare.]
'One of them has a proper name! It's a miracle!'
"So you're saying that he is awake but he hasn't opened his eyes yet?" it was Doctor speaking again.
Is he pretending to be asleep? But why would he?
"Yes, he is." This voice was also male but different from the other guy. "Sir, please understand what happened an hour ago must have been very traumatic for him."
~ But I don't think you will ever understand. ~ The loud voice continued.
'An hour ago? What happened an hour ago?' I thought. Then like a tidal wave, everything came back to me. Having lunch, hearing Doctor's thoughts, suddenly hearing everybody's thoughts in the hall, trying to unsuccessfully block them out and then waking up here.
Wherever here is.
In my minds eye I saw the images flash by as I thought of each event. They may have flashed by but I saw every one with vivid detail.
The images then got to the point right before I fainted but instead of seeing blackness, I was suddenly seeing through someone else's eyes. I was seeing hands play and cuddle a blond Labrador puppy. I then saw those same hands stretched out in front of me (?) as I saw with tears in my/her (I somehow felt/knew this person was a girl) eyes as we saw Lucy (the dog) mowed down as she ran across the road.
Another image appeared. We were on some sort of stage in front of at least 150 people. We're wearing some sort of robe, it's purple and I'm wearing a weird hat as well. We hear our name called out. Caroline Brooke. We walk towards this person who hands us…a diploma? This Caroline's just graduated! (A.N sorry if this information is wrong. I got think off T.V so blame that not me!)
Another image, another time. This time we are something like a nurse. The uniform is different from what I normally see in hospitals but we are carrying a clipboard under our arm. We're walking down a corridor. ; He's going to wake soon. If this works out…I guess we'll find out when it happens. ; We open a door and walk in. we nod to our associates and turn to the person lying on the bed,
It's me.
Suddenly I remembered that we were two different people and not the one person. While my brain is frozen as I remember the memory still plays. I see through Caroline's eyes as she looks at what is on the clipboard. My mind couldn't make sense of it but then again, it wasn't just me there. Through Caroline's mind I could then understand. I had been put on "medication", not that I needed it. The "medication" was used for enhancing something between the Cerebrum and the Cerebellum. (A.N O_o I can't believe I actually used something from school in here. If you don't know what they are, it's your brain.) We use such a small percentage of our brains, that there are limitless possibilities to what the rest could be used for. I guess they decided to prod a bit of unused brain matter into action to see what would happen. I bet they didn't expect what they got did they? I thought with a laugh that only I could hear. When I thought this, the image around me melted around me as I opened my eyes to the world of real time.
I wasn't in the nurse's room. I was in a smaller room than the nurses but it was twice the size of my own bedroom. There was nothing decorating the walls apart from the window and the bed I was occupying. And the other people standing there as well.
When I looked at everyone, I then noticed that I didn't…I wasn't hearing anything from them.
"Charlie?" My head turned to the owner of that voice. It was Doctor's. "Can you tell us what happened?"
I heard a small "Tsk." I had a feeling it was that guy who thought it Doctor didn't understand me.
"Ah don' really know. All ah know is tha' after ah heard your thoughts," I paused, "I suddenly began t'hear everyone else's thoughts."
"That's it? You fainted because of hearing a few peoples thoughts?" Doctor sounded more than a little incredulous.
"Wa de ye mea by tha'? De ya 'ave any idea wha' i' feels like? Wha' i' feels like t'hear every single person's thoughts? No! O course you don'! So don' act like ye do!" I retorted quickly. (A.N Translation= What do you mean by that? Do you have any idea what it feels like? What it feels like to hear every single persons thoughts? No! Of course you don't! So don't act like you do! He's saying it quickly, which is why you sounds different.)
He was a little taken back by my outburst but he didn't show it. Instead, he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a god bracelet. It wasn't one of those girly one's, with gems planted all over it, no, it's diameter was about 3mm wide. It didn't have any design engraved on it apart from the three small scratches on the outside.
"A peace offering." Was all he said as he handed it to me.
I turned it over, letting my fingers run over the smooth surface. They found the three scratches in seconds. On closer inspection I saw that the scratches were deliberate and that the middle scratch was almost twice as deep as the ones flanking it. I briefly wondered what kind of animal would leave a slash/claw mark like that. I then saw the clasp on the bracelet, took it off and let it swing open to look like a curvy m. (A.N They have all this technology and they're using clasps??) I placed my wrist in it and redone the clasp. It was a perfect fit. It touched my skin but it wasn't tight enough to cut the circulation of my hand and it wasn't loose enough to jangle up and down my arm.
"Uh, thanks." I said. I looked up to see the person who's life I had seen through her point of view. I nearly knew everything about her and her life.
Caroline Brooke.
I wanted to tell her that I knew but there was two things stopping me. One of them was that there were too many people her taking note of everything I say and do. The other thing was that there was a few things in her life that no one would ever want to see the light of day again.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" That snapped me out of my reasoning.
"Huh?"
"Well, you've been staring at me for the last two minutes." She said while one of her eyebrows rose.
'Should ah, shouldn't ah? Aw t'heck wi' tha''"Ah was thinking of Lucy. She was a Labrador I used t'have before she was run over." I didn't break eye contact as I said that.
"So basically you saw Carol and then you remembered your dog dying? Is that some sort of hint?" I heard Adam say.
I then decided to finish this, for the time being anyway.
"Could you guys leave me? I wanna fa'' asleep again." they gave me some funny looks (A.N weird looks) but they decided to consent with that. As I thought, Carol was still there when everyone else had gone. Just as she was opening her mouth I said,
"Yeah, I did. I saw everythin."
She closed her mouth but then opened her mouth again.
"Some people are just predictable," I said with a wiry smile. She nodded and walked out. As I heard her heals click on the floor I mulled over the things I had already seen and experienced in my…two days here.
Two days.
I've only been here two days but I've already experienced more in my entire life. My ears caught some pattering on the window. I sat up and walked over to it. I rested my elbows on the windowsill and stared at the pane while it filled with little streams of water. My mind travelled back to what I was thinking before any of this happened. As I did, my face soon mirrored the window…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a miracle! He didn't faint or fall unconscious! But the ending…*sigh* Sorry if you get confused by the tense I used. I got confused halfway and used a bit of past tense and present tense at the same time. Anyways, I've got to thank my reviewer. So thank you:
Dudems: for being the first person to review my fic. But I'm not quite sure by what you mean by keeping the accent kept in line so well. Yeah, waaay to hot. But now it's gone. Little showers everywhere.
Yey! Thanks for saying my fics original. You didn't have to ask me to check your fics out. It's a habit of mine to do that anyway.
See ya when I upload my next chap!
