bChapter Two/b
"I think he's dead." Anne stated as they ate dinner, glancing in the direction of her bedroom door down the hall. Her parents sighed, and her mother, Marie, placed a gentle hand on top of her daughter's. "No, he's just in a coma." Anne considered this, chewing on a piece of carrot. "Coma ...? Like, he's dead but alive?" Marie nodded, "Something like that. I think you should spend some time just talking to him. Try and get him to wake up."
The girl shrugged, before standing up and excusing herself. She walked quickly down the wooden hall, entering her room with a light knock. The man hadn't moved an inch since she had last seen him. "Okay then," she sighed, sitting down on a chair next to the bed. "My name's Anne. Nice to meet you Roy." She didn't expect a reply, and didn't get one, either. "So. You're a police officer, huh? That's pretty cool. I want to be a vet when I grow up. Like everyone else in my year.
I have a mustang, you know. You might like him. Get it? Mustang. Heh ..." It was pretty boring talking to Roy, but she kept it up. Maybe he would be her friend when he woke up or something. "Bet it must suck to be in a coma. I wonder what it's like? You could be hearing me right now .." She shuddered, finding the thought rather freaky. "You have pretty hair." Anne stated absently, reaching out a hand to touch it lightly.
Anne was quite fascinated by this man - not attracted to him or anything, he was just ... interesting. But then again, not many people found a man in a coma and decided to bring him home.
As Roy was pushed down onto the bed, he couldn't help but wonder where Glacier and Elysia were. But then, he realised, this was his world - a place created in his mind. He had everything he wanted here, hence the reason why Maes was alive and his wife and daughter didn't exist. He had always been jealous of Glacier, despite respecting her for getting Maes' attention. She was lucky that she had made Maes happy before he had gotten a chance.
Everything felt so real here. It was strange to think that he was just asleep, but the voices he heard proved that enough. Unless he had gone insane. i"You have pretty hair."/i It was that girl again, her voice echoing around the place, but again Maes didn't hear it, instead kissing Roy.
He had to enjoy everything while he had it. Who knew when he would wake up. But right now he didn't want to.
