"He's finally threatened them."
He sighs.
"It was bound to happen."
"You don't understand. No one ever understands."
"You've never explained."
She looks up at him her eyes blank, dead.
"Because you would die if I did."
When he woke up next, he was laying upon the kitchen floor. He grimaces as the dirt from the floor stains his clothes and the light from the window tells him its late afternoon now. Johnathan grips his head as it throbs with pain but he remembers everything now. He is a youtuber called H2O Delirious. The night he was sent into a coma was the night he and Vanoss were discussing... something. What were they discussing? Why were they alone? Were they even playing a game? What happened? Everything up until that night was clear as day but that night was coming up as a blank. Johnathan leans of the counter for support and winces at the sight of blood in the sink. He can no longer deny what has happened, he can no longer blame his mind nor call them illusions. Not only because of the evidence before him but because of the memories swimming within his head.
The world he was in, the one with the hospital, is an alternate world to this one. Instead of quitting college he had gone on and became a doctor for the mentally unstable. He wanted to help and instead of make people laugh. Void had been the connection, unique in each world but belonging to none of them. No, she belonged to that world of darkness. It, too, had been an alternate reality but one entirely different from this one. It held creatures of unknown origin in a pocket of space completely separate from ALL realities. His memories of this world was harsh and bloody. He was dressed as his youtube character, mask and blue hoodie and he always carried two weapons, a bat and a machete. His form was mutated, body covered in bulging muscles, hunched from the weight and standing more than five feet more than he was now at six feet. His mind was duller in that world, more of a brute than anything else. His mind in the other world was sharp, logical but it refused to be open to things not following its path. His mind here in this world was normal in intelligence but open to things otherwise not considered. What Void had done... she had opened the connection between each of these worlds and bridged them in his memories. She had combined all three Johnathan's into a being that holds all benefits. Strength and fighting experience, a sharp, logical and intelligent mind that has the abilities to process more than facts and form legible hypothesis' and theories of things impossible.
Normal Johnathan would have never been able to make the connections he has made, the intelligent Johnathan could make the connections but his logic would have had him dismiss such ideas and refuse to believe these monster were real, even if they were right before his eyes. The brute Johnathan wouldn't be able to think straight at all. But why? Why would Void do this?
Set me free...
That's right. She wants him to set her free, but why? What would she do once free? Is she trying to get free for evil reasons or is she doing all this to simply be free of that nightmare world? Johnathan shakes his head to clear these thoughts. His friends! Johnathan sprints to his recording room. It holds all of his recording equipment and the only computer he has. Johnathan pauses when he sees a small note on his computer. He picks it up and reads it.
"Dear Johnathan,
Do not worry. Your friends have had memories of you planted in their minds for the duration of your coma and the videos they remember playing with you have also been uploaded. It's like you never disappeared. I would suggest you watch all recordings in the folder: Coma, to catch up. This is a favor for Void, so no need to worry about repaying me.
-EV"
Johnathan spends the rest of the night watching all the recordings.
