11 Ligh

Darkness.

'Darkness…'

Darkness.

'Darkness... I am... I am dead?'

Darkness.

'I don't see anything... I don't feel anything... Just... nothing...'

Darkness.

'Impotence... Sadness...'

Darkness.

'Really, was this my life? Only 18 years...'

A small light begins to take life between all the emptyness.

'A light?'

I try to reach it with my hands...

'Right, I don't have anything... I don't feel anything... I'm... nothing...'

The light grows bigger and becames more imposing.

'Is it heaven?'

It keeps growing.

'What…?'

Now there is no darkness, only light.

'Everything is white now...'

The light begins to dazzle my eyes.

A sharp sound appears.

By instinct, I try to move my hand to cover from the light.

I see my hand, blocking the light.

'Wait... I see my hand?'

Every time there is less light.

The sound is fading.

I turn to my sides, starting to distinguish things ...

'A drawer... Flowers... A chair... I'm alive?'

I'm alive.

'I'm alive!' I lean in a blink, sitting down.

'Wait…'

The sheet that covered me slides, letting me see my upper body.

'This is not my pajamas... And my arm... is in a cast and covered in bandages'

I try to move my legs, but the right is really heavy.

I take off the sheet completely.

'My leg is also in a cast... At least it doesn't hurts'

As I finish inspecting my body, I continue with the place.

'I'm in... a room?'

The walls are pink, with a pattern of darker pink stripes.

'There are quite a few books... It also has a very large mirror, with many makeup stuff...'

Something catches my attention and I see the reflection of the mirror again.

'My hair... some of it is... white...'

'Ugh...' a pain invades my head.

Right! I have to go back to help dad'

I turn on the bed, putting my feet on the floor.

I put my hand in the drawer next to the bed, but I don't realize that there is a glass of water.

I push the glass and it falls.

I turn to the right of the bed, putting my feet on the floor.

I put my hand in the drawer next to the bed, but I don't realize that there is a glass of water.

I push the glass and it falls.

*glass breaking*

'Shit!'

I hear footsteps outside the room.

'Someone is coming'

The door opens.

A girl enters the room.

She looks at me and shouts down the hall:

"Guys, she woke up!"

She has a raspy, slightly sharp voice.

Her hair is reddish, long and smooth.

'Her eyes…'

One of her eyes is orange and the other is yellow.

'It looks like she's my age... And she's really-'

"Hello? Are you there?" she asks me.

While I was watching her, I didn't realize she was already in front of me.

"He- hello... I- I'm sorry..."

'Why can I barely talk?'

"Why are you sorry?"

"For... for the glass..."

I feel too guilty.

"The glass? Haha! Don't worry, it's just a glass" she smiles at me.

'Well, that relieves me a bit'

She leans and brings his face close to mine. Very close.

"But you, do you feel good? You gave yourself a good blow"

I blush.

"Yes... I'm fine... I only see a little... blu- blurry..."

I can't fix my eyes on hers.

"Yes, although Kuno caught you, your whole body suffered a lot, but your head was the one that received most of the fall. You were even dead for a few seconds"

'What the fuck?' my eyes open worried.

"Don't worry, Dai revived you and healed your wounds. The one in your head was really bad, so it's normal that it isn't fully recovered after 2 days"

'2 days? Dad…'

2 men enter the room.

"You finally woke up" he says in a clear and deep voice.

He is tall and muscular.

His hair is black and short.

His eyes are dark gray, but he wears glasses.

While they talk, I turn to see the other guy.

He has a normal height and he is thin.

His hair is green and it's also short, but not as much as the other guy's.

His eyes are green.

'Huh, his eyes combine with his hair...'

"Hello? Earth calling Flying Rock" the green guy interrupts my thoughts.

He has a normal voice, but it bothers me.

"Flying... Rock?" I don't understand why he called me that.

"The boys and their nicknames..." the girl answers me.

"Us? But you-" the girl covers the green boy's mouth.

"Hey, Elin, have she been that weird since she woke up?" the tall guy asks.

"Hey! She can hear you" she says angrily.

"Sorry! But she almost doesn't look at us in the eyes and it seems she is in another world all the time, it could be that the hit was too hard"

"Do- don't worry, it's just that... I'm quite... nervous, I've almost never talked to... other people and... a lot of things have ha- happened in the last few days..." I get somewhat sentimental, although that's not what I intended.

Everyone is silent watching me, waiting for my next words.

When I see them, I just get more nervous.

"I... I really appreciate what you... did for me. I have many... questions, but I have to go back home"

I stand up with strength, but a huge dizziness makes me fall forward.

But the tall guy gets to catch me.

"Calm down, warrior. Even if you were the strongest person in the 2 dimensions, recovering from a fall like that would take days" he says as he helps me to sit down again.

"..." the frustration can be seen on my face.

"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Elin" says the girl.

"I'm Shir, although these idiots call me by my surname, Kuno" says the tall guy.

"He doesn't likes that name, but it is cute for us" says Elin, trying to annoy Kuno.

"I'm Dai" says the green boy.

I remain silent, watching them.

"Now you have to tell us your name" says Dai.

"Oh right... I'm sorry. I'm Alexandria"
