Chapter 19:

KALEN POV:

"Maybe you should just die."

Maybe I will.

GOD DAMN IT! WE SOULDN'T HAVE LET HER GO! If we hadn't… she wouldn't be…

"What was that?" I asked.

Kalen? Go get a doctor. Logie what's wrong? I don't know Cal… The accident has manifested.

"What are you talking about?" I managed to croak out.

The patent had flat lined. START RESESITATION!

"Maybe you should just die."

Am I supposed to die? Am I supposed to be dead? I don't understand, what's going on?

"Maybe you should just die."

Maybe I can?

You should just die.

Maybe I'm supposed to.

Just die.

Maybe I want to.

Die.

What am I thinking. "NO!" I started to struggle against the troll's grip. "LET GO OF ME! I'M NOT ABOUT TO GIVE INTO YOU!"

"You don't have a choice!"

"LET ME GO!"

The world went dark. I was floating again. I started to feel very calm.

She's stable.

I opened my eyes for a minute before I realized that it was just another voice. "Oh…" I said. My dear, there are people waiting for you. "What?" I looked around for the new voice. "Hello?"

My dear you were in a terrible accident. But there are people who are waiting for you so now you must wake up. "I have to… wake up? But I feel like I am awake it doesn-" You must realize you are not awake. You are barely alive. "I'm not bare-" Wake up. You're name is Kalen and you were in an accident and now you must wake up!"

"Am I asleep?" I Asked. "Please! How do I wake up? Am I dreaming?"

You are asleep. You have been for a very long time. Wake up.

I floated on my back. Maybe to wake up I have to fall asleep first. I closed my eyes. Memories flooded back to me. I remembered the entire trip home and my parents beating me. Calling James and the police coming in. "AHHHHHHH!" I sat bolt upright. Pain overtook my entire torso and I doubled over breathing hard. A door opened and a lot of people ran in. "What?" I looked around the room. It was all unfamiliar. "Where am I?"

A boy with longish brown hair and Hazel eyes ran up to me. "Kalen? You're in the hospital. Do you feel okay?"

"Uh… Y- yes… but… who are you?"

His eyes widened in horror. "Kalen… It's me. James."

I shook my head at him. "No. James is a dog."

I feel really mean writing these most recent chapters.
