My Light In The Dark

Part 4

Head pounding, your eyes slowly opened, getting sliced by the afternoon light. Your entire body aches all over, and something was wrapped around you like a soft net. Eyes finally adjusting, you looked to what it was- and almost choked.

Staring down at you was a boy, his chocolate brown eyes probing you with a mix of emotions- was it fear? Panic? Relief? Whatever it was, one thing was for sure- something about those eyes was familiar. Without thinking, you reached out.

"T-Tommy?" Your words were slurred from the drop, but it was clear that he had understood what you said. His brown eyes widened, and for a moment his grip waned, but he regained himself, saying nothing.

The boys were surrounding you like a wall, holding onto Sammy..

Every head turned to the medjacks..
They immediately began examining you, one of the boys pulled out a needle and you screamed "Stop!" jumping up and clinging onto the brown eyed boy that caught you earlier..

He hardly flinched instead asking"Are you ok? What's wrong?" You glanced toward the needle, fear widening.. "Is it the needle?"

Slowly you nodded. Understanding dawned on him.. "Maybe no needles."

Give her some of that cheery stuff instead..

Easy there Greenie.. he said "you'll hurt yourself.

You stared at him pulling Sammy close.

What now?

Now..

Welcome to the glade...
