Synopses
While everything in the world comes to an almost absolute end, Eve is stuck in a coma. Yet nobody knows that something biological is the reason for this. When she finally wakes up, she discovers that not only has the world changed so much, but her body has also too. There's also a new kid in school and he's a mystery storybook all together. When a man comes up to her while she's in a cafe, her whole world changes even more. Will this adventure be her first and last? Or will she complete the task that the mystery man has given her?
Excerpt
"You didn't really think that you could hide for this long did you?" I looked up to find a man staring at me, a smirk growing on his large face.
"I have no clue what your talking about." I'd say to him, raising an eyebrow. Did he think that I knew him? Wait, the better question for myself would be, did I know him? If I did, I honestly didn't recall when we had meet or not. "But you know, if you wanna inform me about it, be my guest!" I'd say, giving him a sarcastic smile.
"You honestly don't know? How about the coma that you were in? Did you ever wonder what it was that had caused it?" My mind turned with the question, unsure of even what he was implying. It was just a coma. People go into them from time to time. The doctors had just told me that it was something to do with my body trying to fix itself. Or, in better terms, they had no idea. Yet, what blew my mind was the fact that he knew I had been in a coma. Nobody had known that except my parents, and my brother and sister. Plus the doctors, but I doubted that they'd tell this man anything.
"How do you know this? Nobody but my family and the doctors should know that!" I said, narrowing my eyes. "Are you stalking me?"
He gave me a smile that seemed rather genuine. "If only it were that easy hon. I'm here to give you a task. One that could mean life or death for you. And your family as well."
Chapter One
I never expected what had happened. I had been in the kitchen, eating spaghetti with my family, and then...nothing. I had just thought that I'd fainted. Maybe even blacked out. But when I eventually never woke up, I got worried. It seemed like I was there, floating in the nothingness, for days, months. Once, it had even felt like a year. I wanted out of this...whatever this was. I needed to go home. I needed to see my friends, to gossip like a normal teenager. Or just have the stupid drama that Elana and Sarah always managed to get their selves into. But when my wish had eventually came true, I had never expected what I saw.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard beeping. The kind that you heard in a hospital when someone was connected to those heart monitor thing's. I hadn't been in a hospital since I was five, and that was when grandpa had died. Honestly, I didn't know that that was where I was until i opened my eyes. There was a monitor, with a red and green and white line. I squinted to see better, but everything was just so bleary. But when I tried to open my mouth, I felt something in my throat. When I had finally realized it was a tube, I had already started to choke. A nurse hurried in and pulled it out.
"Hello honey. How are you feeling?" The nurse asked me. I stared at her a moment, my mind groggy. I had no clue as to how long I had been out. One thing that I did know however, was that I was so thirsty I could have drank the Hover dam. Well, if it still had all of the water in it, that is.
Pointing to the cup on the table in front of her bed, she attempted to speak. "Waaa-" was all that i had managed to get out, but perhaps this woman had been around plenty of people who had been in the same situation.
After the nurse handed me the water, I brought it to my lips with shaky arms. When the liquid hit my lips, it was cool bliss. Even more so as it went down my parched throat. As I had been drinking, a doctor came in, followed by my parents and siblings. I gave my family a smile and then I registered the look on the man's face. It seemed to be pure awe.
"It seems that she came back without any damage. We'd like to take a scan to be sure though." He'd say to my parents, looking over a piece of paper on a clipboard. What was he talking about? Wait, now that I thought of it, what was I doing here? I'm perfectly fine...well so I thought I was. But still, I'd know if I went to the hospital right? But then I remembered all the black and floating.
"Mom? Dad? What happened? Why am I here?" I asked in a scratchy voice. I started to cough from the long time of no use then the sudden use of my voice.
The doctor looked at me quizzically, as if I should have already known that answer. "You had been in a coma for two month's Eve." He spoke, rather bluntly for my liking. But at least he spoke when my parents hadn't.
Two months! That was so long! Everything that I had missed. Heck, even my friends must have thought that I was dead or something! I couldn't believe this. How could it have happened? I had even missed my own birthday because of whatever it was that had happened to me.
I looked to my parents, but they only nodded. But why had I been in it for so long? I didn't have a clue of what it could have been caused by. I've never done drugs before in my life, nor smoked, nor drank. So how could this have happened? As i contemplated this, the doctor rolled my bed out to the MIR room. They put my head under the thing and told me to stay still.
I stared at the circling x-rays (for that's what i believed they were), my head started to hurt. Why? Maybe it was because of the circling movement with my eyes trying to follow it. That most certainly would make my head hurt, would it not? When the intercom spoke, they told me to close my eyes. I did as they said and it stopped hurting. Apparently they thought it helped the image to. They kept me in the thing for about five more minutes and then they told me I could go home. You wouldn't believe how happy I was to hear those four words utter from a mans mouth.
As they strolled me back to my room, my little brother came up to me. "Eve!" He squeaked with happiness. I guess someone had missed me. I smiled at him and ruffled up the brown hair on his small head.
"Hey there little man. How's it goin?" I asked him, giving him a huge goofy grin. He giggled and darted off to the room I had been in, where mom scooped him up.
"I see you found somebody you know hmmm?" My mother would say to Brian. She'd look up at me and give me a pleasant enough smile. Me and my mother had never seen eye to eye. She had always believed in being cautious and plan every single thing that you do. However, I am an almost exact replica of my father's personality. I just went with the flow, doing whatever when I felt the need to do it. Like once, I had wanted to dye my light brown hair to a jet black. Dad supported it completely when I had come home. Mom...eh let's just say I was stuck in my room for a whole week.
However, today was a different story. Instead of looking at me disapprovingly, or with anger, she was actually smiling and behind her cold, ice blue eyes, I could see relief.
"Hey Mom." I said as I got off of the bed. I turned to grab my clothes from my closet to put on. She looked at me momentarily, almost as if her mind was blown over the fact that I was alive.
"Listen, Eve. We really need to talk. There was a reason that you were in that coma." She spoke lowly, almost as if she was afraid that someone was going to eavesdrop on them.
"Look Mom, the doc said it was my body trying to protect itself from something foreign. It's fine. I'm alive, you should be happy!"
"I am happy sweetie, it's just that there was a reasoning behind why it did that. I know this reason. When we get home, we can talk about it, okay?" She spoke to me. I nodded to her.
"Okay. Whatever." I put on my clothes and stood up. "Let's bust outta this prison!" I said happily, ready to leave the hospital that smelt so much like death itself.
---
When we got into the car, my little brother shoved the door closed for me. Then he got into the other side. I grinned at him and ruffled up his hair.
"Turning into a little gentleman hmm? That's gonna get ya all of the ladies!" I said, grinning at him. He smiled back and laughed. He probably didn't know what 'Ladies' were at the age of five, but he got what I meant I guess. When the engine started up and the car started to move, I looked out the window. Everything went by at a speed which my eyes could not follow. It made me dizzy seeing as I hadn't been in a moving object going this speed since...forever it seemed.
When it finally slowed down, I looked up at the familiar red oak and the tall house. It had gotten a paint job, more of an oaken color than the spruce it had been before. Finally we got out of the car and I grabbed my stuff that was at the bare minimum. We walked up the stone steps to the door. Dad unlocked it and everyone went through the door.
The first thing that I noticed was that it smelt different. Instead of the rosy smell it had had before it was...lavender? I had never heard of her mother using that flower scent before. If anything, my mother used to hate it. I raised her eyes for a minute, completely confused. Maybe they had changed a lot while I was out? Or maybe my mother wanted to use lavender? I honestly had no clue.
"Honey, if you want you can go up to your room and change. Those clothes are so old." My mother would say as she put up the food they had bought on their way here. I'd just nod and go up the steps on wobbly legs. I had no clue what to expect since I hadn't been home for so long.
I looked at the door with the yellow tap saying BEWARE DO NOT CROSS on it. I'd then nudge open the door and flick on the light. Everything was the same. Nothing had changed. That shocked me. It seemed that my parents would have packed up everything. Get rid of all relics of me. It was rare for people to come out of coma's. Let alone without any mental damage. I sighed and went to my dresser.
There were pictures of me and my friends. Me and Sarah at the mall. Me and Brycen at school cheer leading in the 9th grade. I smiled at all of the memories. Then my phone was laying on top of a box. I grabbed it and turned it one. One hundred missed texts and thirty missed calls! What in the world? I looked at them, seeing them being from Sarah, Bycren and Emily. I raised my eyes. It was good to know that at least some people had worried about me.
I put the phone back down and plopped on my bed. One thing was for certain was that it was so much more comfier than the hospital bed. But then I heard mom yelling for me. I groaned, not wanting to get up. I was exhausted that much was for certain. I decided that it was better to keep my mom in her good mood, rather than her to be how she was at first. I stomped down the stairs, already getting back into my old routine. I slid in the kitchen in my socks, almost as if i was an ice skater, and leaned on the counter.
"What's up mom?" I asked her when she stopped cutting the vegetables and looked at me square in the eyes.
"Hon, we need to talk about why you were in that Coma." She said, a look of grief and pain flashing across her eyes for a moment. I didn't exactly register it.
"Yea! I think that I came up with a reasoning behind that! There was something in the food that you put in it while cooking it and it did that. It almost killed me but my body saved me. Good enough? I like that explanation seeing as your food is that gross. It could kill an elephant." What i said was truth. My mothers food was the grossest in the whole city. Like no joke.
However, mom didn't like that explanation quite as much as i had.
"Go to your room now! I can tell you tomorrow! I'll have Brian bring you dinner and you can stay in there until tomorrow, when you have to go to school!" I laughed and walked back up the steps to my room. So far so good for my life back in civilization. However, there were a few key points i had missed and discovered in that time in my room.
