The Dreams

Chapter 6

"Mom..."
"It's a prison uniform..."
"You went to prison?!"
"Yea I'm still in trouble but they let me come and see you."
"How long was I gone this time?"
"A few weeks."
Some guards open the doors and cuff Mom and drag her out.
I close my eyes and think of Dad. My body was slowly going numb as my Dads voice became clearer and clearer.
I stop thinking. I'm still faintly aware that I'm in the hospital.
"Dad! I'm going to be here for a while ok?
A faint whisper says back
"Okay, I'll try to stay close."
I push the nurse button.
Not three minutes later a nurse arrives at the door. She was breathing heavy.
"Oh lord your awake!"
She rushes out of the room and returns with a large tray with food. My stomach growls.
"You where in a coma for a few weeks dearie. Best if ya eat somethin'."
I take a deep breath and the smell of antiseptic and food was in the air. I grab a roll and break it in half. I nibble at the side.
'Stale.'
The desire for food overwhelmed me and I began to eat the stale food and drink almost expired milk. When I was finished I shivered. The milk was disgusting and the food was hard and stale.
'You really do eat anything when you're hungry...'
I look around the room in search for anything that would entertain me before I talk to dad again. A remote laid next to me and I turned on the t.v.
"In later news the government has taken hold of the city. And a small uprising has started and they are calling themselves the 'Shadow'. The most recent Shadow attack was on the government facility base. Rumor has it that the hospital is next. In later news th..."
I turned off the t.v. I got off the bed an unhooked the I.V. As I turned around the room I saw a closet. I go inside and look around. I saw my gray long sleeve shirt with a hood and I put it on. I then saw my black leather jacket and put that on as well. I saw my dark blue jeans and my black converse. Once I had my clothes on my marble glowed. I closed one eye.
"Ivy!!! What do you think you're doing?!"
It was dad.
"Dad, I'm going to leave the hospital is going to be overrun with rebels at any moment."
"Well, okay be careful. But the marble will protect you. It has strange magic that protects the wearer."
"Okay I gotta go. Bye."
"Bye. Love you!"
I open my eyes and look at the marble it was a misty green. I pull my black hair back. I walked out the door. Everyone was gone. They must have saw the news as well. I walk down the halls and my hands slightly glowed the misty green like my marble. This must be a sign. I prepared my self for anything. I pulled my hood up and walked around the corner. There was 3 people at the end of the hall way. They were armed with guns. I crouched down. One of the people turned around.
"Did you hear something"
'Crap.'
