The Dark Nightmare

Chapter 11

"The doctors have evaluated her. They've taken blood samples, done x-rays..They just can't figure out why she's like this, or if she'll even survive."

"Yes, over half of the bones in her body were shattered to bits. Her whole left arm and right leg were nothing more than limp bits of skin and muscle. Its a wonder she was able to use them at all."

"Yes..yes we understand...thank you, Nurses."

"It's not a problem, Sir. We understand-"

"Shh...shh...she's going to be alright...she's waking now.."

"Oh god! My poor baby!"

I slowly blinked my eyes open, only to be greeted by annoying conversation and a blinding light. Right. In. My. Face. My head pounded, and I wanted nothing more than to go back to bed. I groaned. "Aleki...?" I asked weakly, pleading for my brother.

"What's she talking about!" My mother was frantic, and obviously crying. "What's Aleki!"

"Where...where's Aleki...is he alright...is he...alive..?"

My mother sat down on a nearby chair, sobbing. "She's gone insane! The coma! it drove my poor baby insane!"

"Now hush, Marla." This was my father. "She's only confused. Its going to be alright. She just needs time to realize that she's not in her dream anymore."

"What...what are you talking about...Poppa..." I looked over at my father confusedly. "Poppa what do you mean? Where are we?" I was just now asking the question.

"Arin...please don't freak out when I tell you this. You're in the hospital. You...how do I say this...Doctor?" He looked to a man in a big white lab jacket for help.

"You're parents brought you here about three months ago when they found you unconscious on the ground, with broken glass all around you and an odd...costume on." At this I furrowed my brow in confusion. "Over half of the bones in your body were broken, and you were stuck in a deep coma. All throughout your stay you have been muttering things in your sleep. Things such as 'Aleki', 'this doesn't make sense', and 'save me'. We've.." he looked to my parents, who nodded. "Decided that it was best for you to...seek outside recovery." He stepped away from the door just moments before it opened. Two men walked in. They both had on very clean and simple white suits. They scared me. In their arms between them they carried a jacket. It was just as white and clean as the suits the men wore, and I knew exactly what it was for.

"You...you're sending me to...an...asylum?" My voice quavered, fear seeping in every word.

My mother tried desperately to console the both of us. "The jacket's nice, honey...you...you can hug yourself..." She was sobbing lightly.

"No...no..I wont go. I wont freaking go!" I stood bolt upright in the hospital bed, and the two men in the suits rushed forward.

"NO! NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! POPPA TELL THEM TO STOP! MOTHER! HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE! HELP!" I stopped for a moment to catch my breath, then yelled louder than ever. "ALEKI!"

Everyone stopped dead as the lights in the room flickered on and off. I suddenly felt someone grip my shoulder, then came a whisper in my ear.

"I'm coming. It'll be alright. You'll be safe. Just wait for me."

And so I did. I waited. I let the men in the white suits drag me off, and I waited. I let them strap me into the jacket, and I waited. I let them carry me in a van and drive me far off from civilization and I waited. I let them throw me in a room with cloud-like walls and I waited.

And here I sit.

I'm waiting.
