Curiosity Can Kill

Chapter 32: Hacker

"Were you here the whole time?" Scott questioned Matt as he began to heal me.

"Yeah. The whole time. I mean in the beginning I went into the living room for like five minutes but then I lied here right next to her. There was nothing here." Matt replied sounding confused.

"Yeah there was definitely nothing there. I would've heard a giant monster in the room right next door, hell I think the whole building would've heard." Dotty said adding to what Matt said.

"Something was off about that dream I could tell it was different. Like you know when you have a bad dream and you're dying or getting hurt but you don't literally feel it to a certain extent. In this dream I could. I felt it all. It was like I was aware of my surroundings but I knew I had just fallen asleep so I assumed it was a dream. Or a normal dream at least." I managed to say as I pulled myself together. Before I wasn't sure if someone was really after me, it was just a thought, but now I was sure of it. I think Matt could tell I was thinking about something and then used his telepathy because he gave me this certain look. It was a mixture if subtle agreement and deep thought.

"So what do we do now?" Dotty broke the silence with a question that not only I had but I'm pretty sure the whole room had.

"This is just so weird. I guess I'll contact Henderson and he'll let the bosses know and stuff but we need a way to stop this." He was looking down at where he was healing me as he spoke but stopped for a second as he sighed. "Feeling any better?"

"Yeah I should be fine. You must be tired anyways. You heal me like every other hour and if healing is anything like teleporting then you must be beat." I replied.

"I don't care though, that's what I'm here for anyways. I'll go call Henderson real quick." He left the room to make the call and then it was just Matt, Dotty, and I left in the room.

I sat myself up on my bed and ran my fingers through my hair so that I could switch the part in my hair to the opposite side. I took a deep breathe trying to process everything. I got up and changed my blood filled clothes and then began to change my sheets. I could feel Dotty and Matt's eyes staring at me. "What are you doing?" Matt asked still boring his eyes to my back.

"Thinking?" I shrugged and continued what I was doing as I began putting clean sheets on my mattress.

"No. Why are you up?"

"Why was I down?"

"Seriously Reagan. You need to rest."

"Seriously Matthew, you're over reacting."

"I'm gonna go check on Scott..." Dotty said as she left the room when the mood started to change.

"What's up, talk to me? And lay down please, you do have to rest." Matt said as he got on the bed and patted a spot for me to lay next to him on.

"Besides the obvious? How many near death experiences do I need in a week." I laid down.

"Stay strong." Was all he said. It was all he could say.

*************

Scott said that Henderson and everyone else had never heard of such a thing happening so there was nothing they could do at the time. Higher officials would investigate however, to try and find out what was going on, but they sounded as confused as me. Matt stayed the night to try to comfort and protect me but in reality we knew that if it happened again he might not be able to stop it. When I woke up Matt and Dotty were insisting on staying with me. It was an hour and a half before school started and I basically forced Dotty to get ready and go. Once she left I laid back down next to Matt and took a nap. I woke up thirty minutes before school started to get him to go. I tapped his shoulder and said, "Matt go get ready."
