Reborn

Chapter 17

  Darkness swirls around me from everywhere. There is no light. Then, out of the sudden darkness, a bursting light. Walking towards me. Her golden hair sparkles, and her warm eyes look at me. Her fair skin perfect. Jealously swarms throughout me. But as she gets closer, it turns into fear as she transforms. Into a green, slithering, snake. And lunges its venom dripping fangs at me.

  I scream, it's like the snakes venom is wrapping itself around me. I shake.

  "Where is it!?" I shriek. The snake. It's here somewhere. My door bursts open. "Alesia!" Roy comes in, followed by Amera.
  I gasp, trembling and shaking. "It's just a snake" I mumble. Roy's eye crease in confusion.
"It's coming for us" and black covers my vision.

   I wake up with my eyes burning, and my throat dry. I look around. Where am I?
   White walls surround me, causing me to flinch. I hate doctors. At least the one at the gym is other colors.
  Gray, blue. This is white. A burning twisting, piercing white. Too bright. I'm not in the Gym hospital.

  I look down. I'm not in a hospital at all. I'm laying on a blaring white couch. I stand up. God. There is white everywhere.
  Panic closes my throat. Why is this happening? It's just an.. Office. It's an office. A white desk sits in the corner. A white lamp in the other corner.
Ew.
  A door appears out of the corner of my eye. I walk out it and into a hallway. My feet bring me to the elevator in the hallway and the next thing I know I'm in a parking lot. I rush out into the side of the street, walking.

  It's getting dark and I'm panicking. I have no idea where I am.
  My phone is dead and there is no cars. I can't see the sun now. A tear slips down my cheek. I sniffle.

  Okay. You were walking and... Nothing happened. I don't know what I'm doing. There's no way for me to get help. Wait. Is that a street sign? It is. Plaza. That's Connors street! To his team house! I bring in a sharp breath. Thank god. My stomach tosses and turns inside me. I am starving.

  I go up to the door and knock. And I knock again. Wait. What day is it? Wednesday. Their not home. Dang it. That means I have to walk all of the way to my house.
  6 miles away. I groan. Okay I guess. I'm going to try not to think about what could be in these woods. Nope. Nope nope nope.
  It's really cold.

Then thunder cackles in the sky. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" I scream to the sky. It starts to pour.

Anger bursts through me. "AHHAHHHHHHH" I scream. I start walking faster. I can feel every bone in my body shiver as I walk to the house. It has to be like 1 already.

  I look down. My pajamas are soaked and I am freezing. Wait. What was I doing there anyway? 
  I just went to bed and woke up there. Walked. For hours. Well. Most likely more like 3 or 4. I see light from windows front the street. I rush my feet. I can hear yelling from inside.

  "We have no idea where she is! Around 7 we took her to the Doctor. Then we took her to Mr. Guiser. Put her on the couch in his office. And went to go and talk to him!  We were gone for like 15 minutes!" I can hear Brecks shouts on the phone.
I go up the steps and open the door, my clothes dripping onto the floor.

"Guys. I think I might be getting Pneumonia" Breck drops the phone. He rushes over to me. "Oh my god." He grabs my head. "Where were you" he asks breathlessly. I shiver uncontrollably. Almost like I'm having a seizure.

"I wasn't kidding about the Pneumonia. It's like 40 something degrees out there." He looks at me. "Okay, okay" he rushes me to my room and turns on my shower. Then pushes me in. The scalding water burns my skin and I yelp, turning it down. I'm still shivering. "Okay. Okay." He says from outside the shower curtain. I hear running footsteps throughout the house.
  Someone comes in. Ameras voice comes over me. "Alesia, you need to take of those clothes okay." I take them off, enjoying the warm water. She hands me a towel. I wrap it around myself and walk out. My breath rattles in my lungs. She bring me to my room. "Get dressed." She tells me.
Once I'm done, they hustle me to the couch, wrapping me in blankets. I cough.

"Guys, is it bad that I can feel the liquid in my lungs." Breck looks at me. "How long were you walking?" He asks me. I shrug. "3 or 4 hours" I say.
He just takes in a breath and sits next to me, offering another layer of warmth.
