Chapter two
/ARC 2\
"He's awaking!" A voice called out. A chill ran down my flesh but I had my eyes closed for some reason.
Beep.
Again why is that here? It's starting to irritate me. But where am I? Last thing I remember was being in that base before it exploded. Was I still in that world? Was it even real? My eyes slowly opened to reveal a white room with a few machines around me. I was covered with a white blanket. Was I in a hospital? Why the hell was I in here? Did something happen to me?
"Joel can you hear me?" A voice ran through the room. I could only nod. "Do you remember why you're here?"
I shook my head.
"You suffered an electrical shock from a lose cord, you're lucky it didn't damage anything important" The voice said. "You may need to stay here for a few more weeks as we need to run some more tests to make sure nothing else was damaged.
I could nod.
-A week later-
"Joel you ready?" The doctor I came to know as Hershal asked. I nodded my head shyly in response. "We've run enough tests you can now leave"
I quickly grabbed the few items I had in the hospital and rushed out the door. I left the hospital and finally saw the outside world for the first time. I had lived in this town my whole life so I knew the paths off by heart. I went down the fasted path I remembered contemplating what had happened. That was too real to be a dream, I felt the pain of every strike I took and felt every object I touched. Still the chances of that actually being real are very slim... I might have to do some research on this in my own time. But still I want to know. Wasn't I meant to be dead? Ventress clearly stabbed me in my heart so how did I get up like nothing happened? And how did my speed increase? And why was there a pain in my left eye? I finally arrived back at my home. The bricks were white and had two stories with a green roof.
I took the spare key from underneath a flower pot that sat on a table out the front. I unlocked the door and quickly went inside. No one was here and the house was deprived of noise and light. Figures, my parents never visited me once while I was in the hospital. Still I couldn't help but she's a few tears before heading to bed. After all that I need to clear my head...
I awoke again the next morning with the sun shinning in my eyes. It's s Monday now right? I got to get to school. I quietly sighed to myself and got changed into a black jacket, green shorts and threw on a black scarf and gloves. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. the sun was covered by clouds so the sky was grey and blank, I continued walking until I met Carly.
"Joel!" She exclaimed. Sh quickly ran over and hugged me. "I'm glad you're ok!"
"Yeah nothing serous they just had to do some testing before they let me out"
"I'm just glad you're ok so let's get to school!" She said and then we started to make our way down to school.
We soon arrived at the familiar high school. We then tried to get into the school but a girlwith hazel eyes and brown hair stepped over to us.
"Hey you're Joel right?" She asked.
"Yes..."
"My boyfriend Howard wants to talk to you in the science lab" She said before walking off. I turned towards Carly.
"Do you know who this "Howard" is?" I asked her.
"I believe he's on of the schools top student in science... I've heard he spends most of his days in the science lab at the back of the school" She answered.
"Well I'm going to go meet him see you after school!" I replied before walking off towards the science lab.
I soon arrived at the science lab Carly mentioned and heard rambling inside. Like several objects were moving at once. I quietly opened the door to find to a kid wearing black glasses, black hair and brown eyes. He soon noticed me and put down whatever he was doing.
"You're Joe right? You suffered from an electric shock a few weeks ago?" He asked
"Yeah..."
"Well may I ask have you been suffering from an hallucinations? It's a common side effect from electrical shock as it could have damaged parts of your brain, several people have reported seeing visions of another world or seeing people who aren't really there" He said. Is that what's happening to me? But it didn't feel like a hallucination I could feel the pain of every cut feel every object... Then what is he saying.
"No..."
"Okay follow up question have you heard of parallel universes? If not it's a theory that every possible universes exist, every action, every story and every choice all happening side by side. Why am I telling you this? Well some people who have had a huge electrical shock have claimed to be travelers of these universes, of course most people think that 1. They're crazy and 2. They may be lying. So I can as just checking if you had any similar experiences"
"I'm sorry but I haven't experienced anything like that..." I lied.
"Well then you may go" He said. I turned and walked out the door I came from.
Could this all be in my head?
