Chapter #3: Time Passes As Does Life

Two voices were speaking urgently. I felt pain shoot throughout my entire body at every small movement. What had happened?

"Does he ever quit?! I thought you said there were no weapons on him?!" Came the doctors voice.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core

"There weren't sir! I can't see how he could've given it a second attempt!" I could recognize this voice as Aiko's.

"It's true sir! It's impossible that he could've had a weapon on him!" Came another voice, a females.

"Be that as it may Nami, but then what the devil is going on?!" Came the doctor's voice once again.

Where I've become so numb

Without a soul

My spirit sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

"You could ask the boy" Aiko told him.

"Aiko do you honestly believe that I will-"

"Just get a general idea from him doctor" Aiko told him "If his story is believable, then we'll investigate. If not… then it is your decision"

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

I look over. You're sitting next to me on the bed again, and are keeping your hand on my shoulder firmly. You don't want me to get up just yet. You're lucky they can't see you…

"Ah, you're awake. Doctor, I think you can question him now" Aiko said pointing at me.

The doctor seemed a bit miffed, but approached me anyways.

"Brooklyn, what is the meaning of this?" he asked me.

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

"Of what?" I ask.

"Do not play games with me young man! We know you attempted suicide again! So tell me how!"

I look at the doctor blankly. What was he talking about?

"You're sheets were covered in blood, and your raw wound which you had inflicted upon yourself the first time was cut open again! So what is the meaning of this?!" He ordered.

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

"I-I don't know…" I answer.

I'm not sure why, but the doctors expression softened slightly.

"I'm sure he's not lying, there was nothing in this room he could have used to cut himself" Aiko told the doctor.

I feel your hand tighten on my shoulder. You're afraid, afraid for me.

"We shall have a camera set up. If anything happens, we'll be sure to know how" The doctor told both of them.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

"In the meantime, Nami will you take Brooklyn downstairs? He looks a royal mess, and I'm not just talking about his hair" the doctor said chuckling.

I grin, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Downstairs, Nami pointed me out to the bathroom. I could take a bath there, and get cleaned up.

I look into the mirror, it's shatterproof incase a patient tries anything. The doctor was right about one thing my hair was a mess. Then I noticed something that hadn't been there before.

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

My eyes. They had changed. No longer pure jade green, but now there was black. It was blended in and they looked haunted…

Just like yours…

The same sadness, mindlessness, and pain. It was all there.

No wonder they thought I was insane.

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

After I had left, I went straight back upstairs to the same room. You were there, sitting on the bed.

I sat down next to you.

"Did you notice…?" I asked pointing at my eyes.

You nod and whisper a soft "Yes"

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask.

Frozen inside without your touch without your love

Darling

Only you are the life among the dead

"Would you really want to know this is what you've begun to become?" you ask me.

I don't know what to say to this. I would've wanted to know, but I wouldn't like to know that I was becoming like you…

"It's hard" you say "To be told the truth. To find out what you're going to become. It's better if you find out on your own then me telling you"

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

"How?" I ask.

"When I was here" you began "I learned everything all to fast. It added injury to me instead of decreasing it. That's how I lost everything. Hope, dreams, everything"

"You were here?" I ask shocked.

"In this very same room. I died after being here for only a year" you told me "The greatest injury" you began "Is not physical. It has nothing to do with your body, but with your mind. You can die by your thoughts alone. Loose everything, and your body will react to your thoughts, and after that you have no sense of self. And all you want is death"

Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

I was silent for a while and spoke.

"Guardian, I asked you before about who you were, you've answered most of it, but what's your name?"

You look at me sadly and smile "It's been such a long time since anyone has said my name, so I have begun to forget, but my name used to be Amaku"

"Amaku…" I mumbled "I have another question if you don't mind"

"Go ahead"

"Well, I'm not trying to commit suicide, so how did my wound reopen?"

You look at me, and seem to be thinking hard "I'm not sure. They said Boris had died 3 weeks before that incident, yet you and I saw him, so how…"

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

"Amaku, you're a guardian angel, so what's saying Boris isn't a ghost?" I ask.

"That's very rare. But he was trying to get revenge, so it could be possible. I'll keep watch over you tonight and see if anything happens"

I nod, agreeing with you. "And then?"

"We'll have to see…" You answer.

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

I think about it all day. And when nightfall arrives I notice you clutching the long-sleeves of your white robe-like dress.

"Something the matter?" I ask sleepily. It's quite late now.

"I'm just worried, that's all" You answer.

"Don't be. Everything will work out" I tell you.

"But if you die-"

"Then I die. Simple as that"

"I can't let you. I can't let you die. Brooklyn the worst part of being dead is knowing it. Knowing that you'll never feel anything again"

I can see tears coming to your eyes; the haunted look in them seems stronger.

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

"…I'm sorry…" I whisper softly.

"Sleep now, I'll stay awake." You wipe the tears away and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

If I had stayed away I would've seen more tears. And I would've seen the black shadow hanging behind you.
