Love, Worlds & Demons

What’s Happening?

I woke up slowly opening my eyes in pain. The whole place was blurry, I couldn't see a thing clearly and i wondered where i was. After a while, i had full control of my vision. "I'm at the hospital?" I thought to myself as i looked around scanning every single thing. "I feel so dizzy" i said sitting upright on the hospital bed. I put my right hand at the back of my head and squeezed my eyes shut tightly. My whole body was hurting me. Then immediately it struck me. What was that that i saw when i was shot, "wait!, i was shot!" I exclaimed put my hand on my chest checking for the bullet wound. I rubbed my hand across my chest but couldn't find the wound. "What's happening to me", i said under my breath. "I was shot wasn't i?", i said still confused. Suddenly, In the moment of trying to process everything. I felt a little movement close to my legs. It was Amy, her arms were crossed on each other on the bed and her forehead was resting on them. I had been caught up in my predicament that I hadn't noticed her. Presence. I placed my hand on her head and stroked her hair smiling and thinking to myself. She looked so pretty as she slept and and her strawberry lips caught my attention. "If only she knew how i felt about her" immediately I remembered that i had thought she said she loved me while i was getting unconscious. I heard her moan a little and she began to carefully raise her head. She rubbed her eyes and paused looking at me. "You're alive, you're alive", she said in a hushed tone leaving the chair she was sitting on to give me a tight hug. I could feel her tears dropping from her face on my hand as i gently placed my arms around her hugging her back. "Sorry for scaring you, but I'm okay now" i said with a smile. After a while, realizing that she had been hugging me longer than usual she let me go. As she pulled her body away from i could see her face turning red. "Wait, are you blushing?" I asked raised a brow. "No I'm not she responded punching me lightly on my shoulder and wiped up the tears lapping on her face. The atmosphere was getting silent when a man barged into the room holding some files in his hand. He had brown hair and he looked like he was in his 50's, he wore a white coat and transparent glasses. "Hi my name is Robert Cal-dun, I'm the doctor overseeing your healing progress". I just paused staring at the doctor keeping a straight face. "Well, we still don't know how you completely healed from a bullet wound and in just a week" he said widening his eyes obviously in amazement. "Wait I've been here for a week?", i said surprised as i turned gazing at Amy. She just nodded her head. "Well, you look okay and your vitals seem to be fine, so i guess you can go home" the Doctor spoke as he flipped a few papers and walked out the door closing it behind him. "Here i brought some clothes", Amy stretched out her hand holding a couple of clothes she picked from beside her. "Thanks", i said politely as i collected them from her and got up to head to the bathroom to change. As i closed the door behind me, i went to the mirror and could not believe what i saw. "What!", i exclaimed. I could hear Amy's footsteps rushing to the door. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" I could her hear sound concerned. "My hair is white" i said as i touched my hair pulling and brushing it. "Oh yeah i was going to ask you how that happened" Amy said as i heard her walk away from the door. I put on the clothes she gave me and left the bathroom holding up a hoodie right in front of her. "Really? You know I don't do white" i said still swinging the hoodie in her face. "Well, I thought it would match your hair" she smiled happy with herself. I sighed and put on the hoodie. "Well then shall we?" Amy asked. "Yes of course".

As we exited the hospital, i began to feel a tingling sensation in my eyes i closed and opened them and i saw myself in another world. There were flames everywhere and a kind of animal with horn ran towards me. It was about to hit me with Amy shook me and brought me back to reality. "....so which one?", she asked. "Huhn, which what?" I had not heard what she had been saying. "Are you kidding me?", she said with a disappointing look. "Do we go to your place or mine, though my place would be safer". I nodded. We stopped a cab and headed to her apartment. Amy unlocked her apartment door and we both went in. "Make yourself at home" she said dropping the key to the door on a table. "There's food so you can eat anything you like...though i have ordered pizza" she continued as she strolled to her bedroom. I was about to go sit at the dinner table when i heard a knock on the door. "Who's there?" I asked as i stood up to go get it. "Pizza delivery" a voice replied from the other side of the door. I opened the door and collected the Pizza box "thanks, you can go now". As i was about to close the door behind me, I remembered that I hadn't paid him. "Wait come back!" I said loudly wondering why he just walked away without collecting his pay. I pulled out my wallet to give him the money. "Alright then later bro, now you can go", i. Said and closed the door behind me. "Amy!" I called out her name. "If you don't come quick you'll be eating the pizza box" I continued picking up a slice from the box. Immediately i could hear Amy's footsteps. She rushed to the dinner table and put her hands on her waist. "Really? You started without me" she sat down and picked up a slice too. The atmosphere was filled with silence as we ate when I decided to bring up a conversation. "Hey.. uhm...". "Yeah" she answered with a slice in her mouth. ".....I don't know if I'm over thinking this but that day at the apartment.." she nodded staring at me with all her attention. "...i could have sworn that i heard you say you love me". The whole place fell quiet again. "Uhm... I don't think you heard right" she objected. "No I think you —". I stopped in the middle of my sentence as i felt my eyes burning up. "Argh! My eyes!!!". I said full of pain. "Amy stood up from her chair and grabbed both my hands pulling them away from my face. "Open them, try to open them" i could hear her say. I carefully opened my eyes. I could still feel them stinging. "Don your eyes" Amy said whispering. "What's wrong with them" i asked looking straight at her. "They're red not blue". "What?" I exclaimed. I then remembered that the pizza delivery guy had left without collecting his pay. "Something's wrong" i thought to myself. Without a clue of what had happened i appeared in dark place and it felt like i was floating. I could see a dark figure standing at a distance. He looked like the one that i saw when i had been shot. The figure began to come closer with every step getting louder. He looked intimidating. "Well, well, well..you're finally here" he said pointing a sword covered in flames right in front of me. "What's happening?".
