The Glassy Sky

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: Hunter

I'm glad the fight is finally over!

While saddened by Sam leaving his brother, I can't help but sympathize to Zack for feeling lonely because I also have a sister that might be waiting for me in the real world, and I can't help but think of her too. Meanwhile, Uriel opened a portal for both us and I was guided by Uriel herself, so I can go back to my own body. Then when I went to the portal, I saw that it's eight in the evening. And Sarah's lying on bed bunk near the bed where my body lies. Then I noticed that my body's reacting in a strange way for the monitor's lines are behaving in a strange way when I get close to my body. Sarah was awakened by the sudden beeping of the monitor, so she called the doctors and nurses on charge. A few moments later, I saw a light coming out of my head that strings me to my own body connected to my mind. "What is this?" I asked. "That's your spirit connected to your body, and your body knows that you're coming back."

"Is that why the life support acts so strange, all of the sudden?"

"Yes."

"So what do I do now?"

"You have to lie down to your own body, and concentrate on waking up." I did what I was asked, I lied down closed my eyes and feel my own body as it accepts my soul gradually. Gently, I try to feel my body if I can move a finger, then I was able to move a finger. Now I tried if I can open my eyes, slowly but steadily. But it hurts! So, I try to do it again, this time even slower. Then when I opened my eyes, I saw a light coming in from the lamp pose, and the doctors and the nurses are on every corner of my bed. Then my sister's there, crying as if she had seen hope for the first time. "Where am I?" I asked.

"You don't remember?" Sarah asked.

"No, I don't."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course, Sarah! How would I forget my own sister?" Sarah hugged me as if I've been lost for the longest time. "By the way, how long have I've been here?" I asked.

"You've been in a coma for almost two months now, what's the last thing that you remember?" I do remember having to fight a demon while sleeping, I also remember Zack, Sam and Toby but then I finally remembered what happened to me. I remember being shot on the studio and the bullet punctured me in the chest. "It was Blake!" I said in fear. "Blake, who?" Sarah asked.

"Blake Hudson, my manager. He's the one who shot me."

"We know, Blake's already in prison for what he did. Do you happen to know why he wanted you dead?"

"We had an argument that I wanted to change producer for I don't like the way they're treating me. They wanted me to change styles from classical to contemporary which is something I'm not comfortable doing."

"Is that why he shot you?"

"I think so."

"I'll call the detective!" Four hourslater, the detective in-charge of my case went to approach me and I told him everything that happened and he told me that there's now a solid evidence against him to make him guilty for the what he did. For the meantime, I'm just happy that I'm back to normal after the things that I've been through. Then I heard Uriel's voice from my head saying, "My duty's over now, goodbye, Hunter." I looked at the side of the window and she's there, then disappeared in thin air. I wish I could contact Zack, wherever he is because he's the first realfriend I've ever had and the funny thing is that we've met in the dream world. One day, we'll meet again, Zack.
