Dustin's eyes fluttered open and he looked around. He was... alive, but how? He sat up slowly, still feeling a bit lightheaded, and noticed that he was on the ground outside the hospital. This must have been where he landed after his 'jump'. He groaned as he tried to stand up. He suddenly fell back down, being tackled by someone or something. He opened his eyes and saw who tackled him and tried to find his voice, "Hiya Tor..." Tori squealed slightly and hugged him some more, "Oh my gosh, Dustin! You're alive!" "No, I'm not. I'm just a zombie coming back to haunt you..." Dustin grinned slightly then clutched his head, "Ouch... damn." Tori gasped a bit, "Dustin, we have to get you inside to a doctor." Dustin groaned and nodded as Tori helped him stand up.
Tori helped Dustin inside then said that she'd call Shane and Blake, and tell them the news.
----------------------------------------
Blake had taken Hunter to the hospital to make see if there were any way that Hunter could live, and the doctor said that he would have to stay over night again so they could inspect him... again. Blake sighed, and then nodded. He understood and hoped that everything would be all right. He left later that night and went to a fast-food restaurant to get a burger when his cell phone rang. He meeped and almost fell out of his chair since his phone vibrates and it was sitting in his back jeans pocket. He took out his phone from his pocket then listened to the voice, "Hey Tori... Dustin's alive? What... how? I'll be right there." Blake got up from his seat, left a tip, then rushed back to the hospital.
----------------------------------------
Dustin curled up on his hospital bed and tried to go to sleep, but then a nurse walked in and Dustin sat up. The nurse asked him a few questions, and then when she was finished, she told him that the doctor would be in momentarily. Dustin nodded as the nurse walked out then dozed off, but before long, Shane, Tori, and Blake all burst through the door of the room and almost knocked Dustin off his bed. "DUDE! You're alive!" Shane almost yelled. "Whoa... Tori wasn't lying," Blake said, dodging one of Tori's playful smacks. "Yes, yes, I am alive... can I get some sleep now?" Dustin questioned them, clutching his head again. They all nodded then left, after Shane gave Dustin thumbs up. Before he could get to sleep, the doctor walked in and Dustin repressed the urge to yell out, "FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!" The doctor did a few tests on Dustin, the smiled when he was finished, "Well Mr. Brooks, it looks like you are going to be all right, you just need to spend the night here to get some rest, then you can go home." After the doctor left, Dustin fell back down on his bed, and instantly fell asleep.
----------------------------------------
Hunter's eyes fluttered open as he slowly stood up and looked around at his surroundings. Hunter put a palm to his forehead and groaned. Where am I? As if on cue, a small bluish puffball with small silvery wings flew into view and flew toward him. (AN: If you've ever played The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, then think of the bluish puffball as a Navi-like creature.) "Hey, you! Whatever you are... do you know where I am?" Hunter asked the strange puffball. The puffball seemed to stare at him as if it was thinking 'What a dumb nut'. "You are in the Leath. The Leath is like a reality popup window that says 'Are you sure you wish to exit?'" the puffball answered. Hunter looked at the blue puff strangely with a slightly stupid look on his face. The puffball sighed, "This is the place where you go after you die, yet you don't really die." Hunter still looked at it with the same look on his face. The puffball flew to two doors next to each other; one black, and the other yellow. "One door you go in if you want to live, and the other door you go in if you wish to die." Hunter then gasped softly, "Ooooh." "Yeah. The thing is, is that you have only one hour to choose which one to go through. I cannot tell you which one is which, so you're going to have to figure that out by yourself. Have fun." The bluish puffball, which was now a slight red, flew off quickly leaving a slightly confused Hunter behind.
