PREY II
Old Friends
Floating on the brink of existence is one of the relaxing things ever. You still have a conscience but you can't feel pain because none of you particles are close enough for electrical signal to get there. This lasts for a few seconds then you're jammed back together with the hope that maybe you'll turn out right. The desert landscape assured Tristan that at least his eyes had been put back together properly and the fact his chest was longer a gapping hole made him feel more relaxed and so fell asleep, being possessed took a lot out of you.
Nicole knew what she had to do the minute the heartbeat skipped. She would have to turn the safety systems back on! But how did she know this? One name came to mind 'Tristan'. If this was his idea she would do it, and so she stood up determined to do something she walked out of the room to find quite a crowd was standing in the corridor. The only other things in the corridor were a floating trolley for drinks and the switch to open all doors. No-one else seemed to spot it and everyone was arguing on what to do, Nicole just smiled and went to the trolley and looked at the dial '13 18 26 99' with a touch button indicating which speed you wanted to go, of course Nicole took '99'.
"Get out of my way!" she shouted over the din. Everyone fell silent then a man from shouted "She's crazy"
Nicole smiled in a vampire way and said, "Crazy, maybe but not dead!"
She turned to Hanyou, "Get the switch please!"
Hanyou obeyed and gave a 'thumbs up' sign to show he was ready.
Nicole climbed onto the trolley noting how stupid she must look and decided to wait.
In her head she heard 'click click click click…..' that's the sign.
"Go!" she shouted and Hanyou flicked the switch.
Nicole slammed her fist onto the trolley's 'Go' button and zoomed down the corridors with the doors opening one after another, 'I bet they don't have this at Disneyland' she thought.
Tristan woke to the sound of people talking. He sat straight up startling the group of children who were awake and sitting in front of him eating a thick soup with wooden spoons. They'd stopped eating and staring at Tristan with puzzlement. One began eating again, a boy around 15 with red, spiky hair, he took a spoonful of what Tristan assumed to be soup and then spoke, "So you're the one who ruined our lives!"
Tristan lowered his eyes, only he knew the horrid truth and how did they know? I could've been rescuing them. Tristan voiced his opinions, and to his surprise, a little boy with hair dyed blue said, "He told us all about you" and gestured behind him where a figure was standing.
The mysterious figure walked to the small group, "Hello Ghost, we meet again!"
A voice Ghost never ever wanted to hear.
