Serpentine Stables

Oh no.

VEERAS' POV.... in hospital 3 hours later.

Ow.

I wake up, no handcuffs.
I look aeound, and notice large doorways and big spaces between areas for wheelchair access.
Then, I see the wheel chair.

I scream a few nasty cuses, and grip the sides of the hospital bed.

A nurse rushes in, then chirps, "Good, you're wake! The young man who was in the side car wishes to see you."

I nod, memory cloudy.

Then, an oddly familiar stranger walks in.

He wears a midnight blue shirt, and dark jeans.

His eyes are a vibrant green, and he rushes over to me.

His midnight blue hair, which is obviously dyed, flops over his eyes.

I also notice how utterly cumbsy and obnoxious he is.

He cries, "VEERA! SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG IN THAT CRASH! I turned into this ugly mess!"

I slurr, brain fuzzy, "Waadooyouuummeeaaann?"

He cries, "WHAT DO I MEAN? VEERA! How hard did you hit your ever living mind?"

I ask, laughing from something "Are you the president?"

The stranger throws up his pale hands and growls.

He screams, "AARRRGGG!"

He sits in the chair by my bed, and I start to laugh.

Then, as if I have terets or something, I scream, "GEODE!"

The frustrated man snaps to attention, and stands up.
The chair goes flying across the room, eyes a glow with relief.

Joy radiates off him.

He screams, "YOU REMEMBERED!"

I slurr, "Rememberwhat?"

Then, the joy turns to anger.

He stalks off in a familiar fashion I swear I've seen before.

Then, the Chiefs' wife walks in.

She asks in a taunting tone, "Who was that?"

I giggle, "The president."
She sighs, and looks me in the face.

She grabs a glass, and fills it with ice water.

Then, she dumps it on me.

I scream in shock.

My brain clears, and I stop screaming.

My memory jogs to find out what happned.

Then, I remember the man I called the president.

He seemed familiar.

Then, gripping the bed, I remember what he reacted to.

I scream, "OH MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOSH!"

The Chiefs' wife stares for a while, and I scream, "GEODE!"

The man rushes in, eyes wild with relief.

I ask, memory cleared, "What happened?"

He hugs me, and the Chiefs' wife starts smiling evily.

I mouth, "What?"

She points at Geode, and makes kissy faces.

I try not to gag.

NO! NO! NO!

I feel Geode with draw his hug, and looks at the Chiefs' wife.

Her reflexes aren't fast enough, and he sees the face she was making.

His face turns red as a tomato.

Then, he scoops me up, and plants me in the wheelchair.
He glares at the witch, and begins to wheel me away.

I ask, "Why don't I just..."

I stand up, and do an epic roll and faceplant.

Ow.

Geode picks me up, and places me back in the humiliation of the wheel chair.

Then, I notice my legs are in protective boots for minor fractures.

Lovely.

Geode wheels me into a back room, and shuts the door.

He paces back and forth, and asks, "If I said I had a life before the stables, would you believe me?"

I nod, scared an confused.

He looks at me with those piercing green eyes that glow like lights in the dark room.

He sighs, running a hand througn his not-so-dyed hair.

He whispers in my ear, "This may sound absolutely insane, but,... I'm a ...."

A/N See yah next week!
