One Night To Find It All

Chapter 5

These visions.... They hurt like hell, it feels like hell.. Something is calling out to me, I can feel it. It is shouting my name! I can't make out the words, but I am certain it's my name..
-------------------------------------------------------

"Hey hey hey! Wake up! We don't have time for this bullcrap, get your ass up!"

I can hear Derek shouting at me with concern.. He looks pale, he looks scared... Scared of what?

I open my eyes slowly and I look at me..
-Derek? W-what's with you today?
He sighed.-Shut up and get up!

He grabs my arm, pulls me up and runs through a corridor... What is going on?! Why is he all concerned over me? He could've just left me for dead! Why is he caring on whether I live or die? I mean, I don't remember anything.. All I have is visions of my past? I am not sure... Am I weird? I think I am, but is it bad? Is it bad to be weird, to be different? All these questions, yet so little answers.. Maybe time will tell.. We're running through a corridor, and it is long!

Derek slows down and looks back as if he is checking to see if we're being followed. I eye him, and he eyes me..

-What is it?- He asked me
-Wtf are we doing?
-Avoiding death, bro!
-Why? What are you so afraid of, man?

He stops as he was about to say something.. He eyes me with tears running down his face..

-Do you know what it is like? Here on this Spaceship?? I have been struggling to survive for almost a year! There are things out here that you will make anyone have nightmares!- He said with fear in his words...

I looked at him and I snapped.
-Do you know what it is like to lose someone you love? Do you know what is it like for people to just stop caring and just leave you for dead? No, you don't! I do know what it is like! I know more then you ever will in your whole worthless life!

He eyes me...
Woah, what was that? Was that me? Where did that come from? Ouch... That was mean... I got a headache for saying that..

He just stopped.. He just didn't say a word and pointed up the corridor.. "Follow me" he said.

I felt guilt for saying what I said.. I approached him..

-Hey, I am sorry, Derek.. I didn't mean what I said.
-No, it's okay.. I'm used to being worthless.-
-Hey, I am sorry! I swear! I never meant to say that to you.. I don't know what snapped inside of me.. These visions, they haunt me.. They destroy me... Why am I always the one to suffer... All I remember is going to sleep peacefully and waking up in this mess.

-I am sorry to hear... I also have visions.... I don't remember much of them, but I know one thing is certain: The reason why I don't kill you and leave you to die is only because you and I are connected in some way.-

Sorry that there wasn't much action/information about the protagonist. This chapter was more of a character progression of Derek and the protagonist. Hope you enjoyed it! Make sure to vote and comment down your thoughts! (It means a lot to me!)
