The Supes

Chapter 10: So How Do You Like the Book So Far

POV: Jade
I woke up feeling a sharp pain in my skull as if it had just been acupunctured. Sleepily, I looked at my clock which read 3:47 A.M. In the bed next to me was my little sister, Ruby, fast asleep. Her curly, blonde hair was in knots from her bad case of bedhead and her breathing was calm and slow. Suddenly, the scene of my bedroom melted away and I appeared in the hallway outside of my bedroom. My feet were freezing due to the cold tiled floor. I regretted not grabbing my slippers before I had moved somehow into the hallway. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a doorknob turn. It belonged to my older sister's room. I dashed and hid behind the nearest house plant. Someone came out of the room. Stealthily, I peeked through the leaves and saw a figure coming out of it. She was dressed in dark clothes and had a duffel bag with her and a train ticket clenched in her hand. Abruptly, I stood up revealing where I was to the figure. She looked up startled.
"Why are you up?" the figure cooed.
I had so many questions to ask this person like why he or she was in my house and coming out of Saphire's room but instead of asking that I asked,  "Why are you leaving? Where are you going?" 
Suddenly, the room started spinning around me. This feeling had come onto me so suddenly. The dizziness in my head made me cripple to the ground. I buried my head in my hands and screamed in agony...(Beyond power of speech. When the one thing you want is the only thing out of your reach.)
My body jolted awake and and my eyes shot open. It happened again. I had that same dream again. The same one that I'd been having since Sapphire died. Sometimes the figure talked back to me sometimes it didn't. Sometimes neither of us said anything and we just stared at one another. Other times I immediately went to the hallway instead of starting in my bed. Besides all of these differences there were two main similarities with my dreams. One, there was always a person emerging from my sister's room. And two, my dreams always ended with the room spinning and then me crumpling to the ground in agony from the excruciating pain in my head. I'd spent hours in my room trying to figure out what the dream meant or that if it simply, was just a dream. Somewhere in my brain I knew it couldn't be just a dream. I recognized this event from somewhere.
Suddenly, I realized that I wasn't in my normal bedroom. I looked to my left. Ruby was chained to a dark, stone wall. Her face was bruised and her arms were cut as if she had gotten into a fight. Looking down at myself I saw that I too looked like I had gotten into a scuffle myself. Then, I noticed the rest of my surroundings; dark, stone walls, moist, humid air, no windows or doors in sight. Out of the blue, one of the walls slid open and five people in lab coats came in with two gurneys. One of them walked over to me.
"Mmmmmmm. What's going on?" I groaned.
One person in a lab coat knelt down to my eye level. She had straight short black hair and bright blue eyes. Her mouth, a permanent frown. She shined a flashlight in my eye.
I squeezed my eyes shut from the bright light but she forced them back open.
"Pupils are dilating. No concussion." she announced with a thick Russian accent to the others ignoring my question.
"What's going on?" I said a little louder.
The woman finally looked me in the eye without shining a flashlight in it, but instead of answering me she simply slapped a thick, metal choker necklace on my neck.
"Just go back to sleep." she whispered to me.
I felt a sharp bite in my neck and then everything went black.
