The One Word Theory

Dreaming

My surroundings don't match the forest I was once in. This place looks like a hospital, but its so quiet it seems to scream at me. This reminds me of something and shoot my head up to get a better look at the room I'm in. My head ricochets back down onto the hospital bed I'm on. Only then do I realize the restraints on my arms, legs, and stomach. I panic, I don't like where this is going. I hear footsteps, this is exactly what I wasn't hoping for, at least in this scenario. "Dammit", I whisper hoping that whoever is walking towards the door doesn't hear me.

"Ah, Crimson Comet, otherwise known as Patient 28. I'm going to have to reassign you to a new room." A young doctor had come through the door. This really did remind me of something. Something bad.

"Okay, hey what's your name?" I reply, asking a pretty dumb question.

"Don't you remember me, I'm Dr. Triys, I was one of the other doctor's assistants here a few years ago actually. I definitely remember you though." He says, he's too friendly. I honestly don't remember him but, I have heard the name Triys. This is going very bad.

Dr. Triys unbuckles the restraints and I fall to the floor, my head throbbing. Then I saw it, a small shadow in a room similar to the one I'm in. Then I see the number 347 flashing in my head. I know that I have to go to room 347 but, I don't know where it is.

"What room am I moving to Dr. Triys?" I ask.

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you but, Room 356." Good, my room is close to room 347 and I can quick slip away and find it. Lets just hope the rooms aren't locked.

I have on leather handcuffs, I remember wearing some of these somewhere, but I haven't spoken of it for months and this place really reminds me of it. I try to pick the lock on the restraints(it's an old habit of mine), but I'm not successful. I try to distract myself by trying to escape from the handcuffs, but I can't help but notice that there is no one here, and if this the place i think I'm in, it should have at least two other people right here. The strangest part though is I can't tell if this is real or not.

I see Room 340 and know I have to find Room 347. I quick see Rom 345 and elbow Dr. Triys in the stomach. He mumbles and groans, and throws a punch my way but I dodge it which takes all my might. Somethings kicking into my system, and I know its drugs. I start to feel very light and as if I could be blown away into nothing by the wind. I have limited time and quickly jog over to room 347. I push the door open and see nothing.

I awake in my bed, scared as crap, and see the shadow figure standing right next to my door. I realize I'm not in the right place, I should be with Hisako and Sadow and Ares and unfortunately, fighting Ametsuchi. I remember his last word, 'sister', and I take that in. He is Hisako's brother and he could know everything about everyone at this building, at this "school"and how we don't take regular classes, we learn how to train ourselves to fight the worst of people, how to kill those who may look innocent and how to kill those who may be innocent. How our teachers taught all students a language nobody speaks anymore. This place has so many cons, they started to become pros.

'so you finally woke up,' somebody said, or I guess I thought, even though I didn't think that. Well at least I'm not in that terrible dream. I finally realized the shadow figure again.

"W-Who are yy-you?" I stuttered. This is pretty strange, even for me.

'Huh?' I heard in my head. Am I going insane? Then an idea popped in my head.

'Can you hear me?' I thought in my head.

'Yeah, I have this whole time.'

'Alright, where are you?' I questioned, knowing the answer.

'Right in front of you, duh.' The voice in my mind said again. I was correct, the shadow or person in my room was talking to me through my head. I'm delusional, although I already knew that.

I go to stand up from my bed, when I hear the voice again,

'I wouldn't try that if I were you.' I realized why he said that, my stomach throbbed if I even tried to move a muscle. God, this was a freaking weird day.

'What's happening, who are you?' I demanded to know so from this figure, it looked like a student.

'Whoa, calm down, listen, it's a very long story of how you got here. To cut it short, you were fighting with that Ametsuchi guy and he was just about to kill you, like how he killed that one girl, I saw and filtered your dream, so you were asleep and looked dead. Your friends carried you away to your room, and I came in here after you left. I'm Aali, I don't exactly know you well, I was just watching the battle, and I wanted to save you Comet, I don't feel comfortable when someone is close to Death. I think you're special.' He explained. Well at least he's was an actual student.

'I've got to go help my friends or something, and since when can someone "filter" a dream?' I asked Aali. "I thought I was the reason my life was strange, but this just proves my theory even more" I said aloud, knowing no one could hear me. I realized Aali could have seen that but, I don't think he did.

'I don't think you should get out of bed, Ametsuchi put a dent on you.Plus you found out how earlier.'

'Just watch me, Amet can't do anything to me, and I'm not being arrogant. That was just from the nightmare, probably stress from it' I started to climb out of bed when Aali yelled in my head.

'STOP! Ametsuchi is a Heart Bender. That's how he killed that other girl. He can change people's hearts in any way, if he is powerful enough. He can cause heart attacks or make someone not feel anything. He's a huge threat. Especially to you and your friends.'

Dammit.
