When Millie saw my lifeless body on the ground and suddenly she lost the little peace she had left. She quickly ran forward and struck a real blow in one of the persons' faces. Lukas quickly followed and took on the other.
The beep continued in my ears, but it was no longer a constant beep. It came, waiting a while before the same sound came again. If I did not know where I was, I would think I was in a hospital. The short, rhythmic beeps sounded like the sounds you would hear there. Sometimes I came back to the present and could hear vague screams from Luke and Millie, and for the first time today, their voices had calmed me down. Screams, blows and metal sounds could be heard. But that was all, I could only hear them. I could not feel vibrations in the ground, or gusts of wind, or even the wall I was lying against. Then the sounds stopped again. This time the peep was lower, but it was there. Everything felt so wrong.
I quickly opened my eyes and looked around. The dimly lit room felt comfortable. But the calm ended when I felt an extreme pain in my head, neck and arm. I looked down at my shoulder, a bandage placed over it. Soon the memories of what happened came back. I felt something wet run down my eyes. I cried. All thoughts of how close I was to failing struck me. I was so lucky. But before more thoughts could come, I heard the door to the room crack. I looked up to see who it was and saw her, the person I wanted to see the most. I smiled and stretched out my arms towards her.
"Mother!" I shouted overjoyed. But she quickly looked away from me, tears could be seen in her eyes. Everything got cold in the room. Everything turned out like that day with the girl, although this time I did not feel the same need to run and look for something. Instead there was just the feeling that something bad, something terrible would happen. Mom looked at me before I heard fast footsteps moving in my direction. I saw Millie come running with a smile on her lips and tears in her eyes, but just as she came through the door, my mother disappeared. She was just gone, just a couple of butterflies flying away.
Millie sat down next to me and put her hand on my cheek. It was so hot and I started to feel the tears threatening to come out again. "Hey," she said softly. Small tears ran down my cheeks when I answered with a simple: "Hello". Millie looked at me for a while before she started talking again. "So maybe I should explain what happened" I looked at her, waiting. "The reason those guys came after you was because ..." she took a breath before continuing.
"Okay, I'm starting from the beginning. There are two types of living conditions here... living and non-dead. They may sound the same but they are not. You've already seen different creatures and species around, I'm one of them. But there is another category that only people like you can have. Non-dead. It basically means that you can feel when you and others are close to death... but people are, how should I say it, they do not like you that much? " she explained. I just looked at her and waited for what was to come, but nothing came. She just looked down at the floor before she sighed. "You should go to bed again, everyone else is asleep and you need to rest," she said a little downcast.
"Okay, good night Millie," I told her with a small, disappointed smile plastered on my face.
"Bye"
I looked at her wondering. "Why did she say goodbye?" I thought, but before I could ask she closed the door. After she closed the door, I felt the pain in my shoulder and head again, it hurt so much. I put my hand on my shoulder to feel if I was bleeding through, but when I put my hand there there was nothing. Confused, I looked at my shoulder, it was there. Now I began to feel tired, but before I went to bed I looked at the door one last time. Because like to check if there was someone there, but of course it was empty. After that it did not take long before I fell asleep. Everything got dark and the only thing I heard was my own breathing and the faint noise of the wind outside.

Everything was so peaceful in that moment.
