The Boy Who Once Was

A New World?

When Ved arrived to the hospital, he quickly laid back down on the stretcher and tried to completely forget about the hole in the ambulance. The paramedic who drove the ambulance got out and opened the back door. "What the hell happened back here?!" the paramedic said confused. Ved looked up and shrugged. "It doesn't matter, we need to get you into your room." The paramedic said moving the stretcher out of the ambulance. Devon and mom walk with the paramedic. "Is Ved going to be okay?" Devon asked the paramedic. "Just leave it up to us. We will make sure Ved walks out A-Okay!" The paramedic said. "I'm afraid to say that you two need to stay out of the room." The paramedic said. Devon and mom hesitated but they obliged and sat down in the waiting room. The paramedic rolls the stretcher in front of the hospital room. "Are you able to walk?" The paramedic asks Ved. "Mmph, I can try." Ved said getting up. Ved stood up and slowly started making his way to the hospital bed. "I think I got this!" Ved said. Ved had spoken too soon. When he said that, he immediately had a sharp pain spark in his stomach. Ved immediately stops moving and freezes in place. "Ved? Are you okay?" The paramedic said. Ved, still frozen in place, slowly fell over. The paramedic quickly calls the nurses and doctors over to help. "Help! Help! The boy became unconscious!" The paramedic yelled throughout the hospital halls. A doctor who goes by Doctor Mark came into the room and helped the paramedic lift Ved up onto the hospital bed. "Thank you Mark sir." The paramedic said. Doctor Mark nodded his head while looking at Ved. "You're welcome. Now please leave." Doctor Mark said. The paramedic nodded his head and left the room. Ved slowly opens his eyes to reveal a completely different place than he remembered being in. Ved quickly sat up and looked around. The room he was in was something he had never seen before. He was in a room with nothing but blueish trees and blue chairs gathered around the bed he woke up on. "What the hell is going on?" Ved said to himself. Ved tried to get off the bed but the second his foot touched the ground, something had appeared into one of the blue chairs. "Hello." The Thing? said to Ved. "Speechless eh?" The thing said. Ved's face is red like a tomato. "Wha-What are you?!" Ved let out. The thing looked to be an ogre like creature but with horns on its forehead. "Well I'm Metre. Have you not heard of me?" Metre said to Ved. "I don't know who you are or where I am. Where am I?!" Ved said shivering out of fear. Metre looked at Ved in confusion. "You're in the world called Kolopia. Home of the super naturals." Metre said. Ved looked around. "Super naturals?! I'm not super natural!" Ved said. Metre chuckled. "What are you laughing at?" Ved said aggravated. Metre stands up, lifts both of his arms up into the air, and his arms ignite in flames. Metre then charges at Ved. "What the hell?!" Ved yells in fear. Metre slams into Ved but to his surprise, Metre gets sent flying across the room and slams into the wall. Ved completely shocked, is holding his fist out with smoke coming out of it. Metre gets up. "Yeah, you're super natural alright." Metre says shrugging off the slam to the wall. "You can get off the bed, the others are busy so they won't stop you." Metre says. Ved slowly moves off of the bed and stands on the floor. "BOO!" Metre yells scaring Ved. "GAH! What the hell man!" Ved yells. "I'm sorry I'm sorry, it was so hard to not do that. Alright let's go. I'm gonna show you around." Metre says opening the door. Ved walks out behind Metre to reveal a whole world of grassy terrains. "Woah!" Ved says smiling. Metre looks down at a rock covered in a shiny blue moss and holds his hand out. "What are you doing?" Ved asks. "Shh shh" Metre mumbles. Ved looks at Metre in confusion. Metre's face starts sweating as the rock slowly starts floating up into the air and moving towards Ved. "Woah, holy hell!" Ved said in shock. Ved holds out his hand and the rock falls into Ved's hand. Metre smiles while panting and gasping for air. "That's so cool!" Ved says examining the rock. Metre looks at Ved and smiles. "We super naturals hold up to 3 different abilities. I have flaming arms which I can activate whenever I need to, I have telekinesis, and I haven't found out my 3rd ability yet. I hope to find it soon." Metre said patting Ved on the back. "So you're saying I have 2 more abilities I don't know of?" Ved said with the biggest grin on his face.
