It's so dark.. I can't feel anything.
Am I dead? What happened?
What's that? There's a bright light shining, it's coming towards me. I reach out to it, it's so warm. So familiar, my body just knows it. Slowly the light starts to disappear and I frantically try to grab at it.
No come back! Don't leave me, please don't leave me.
Instead it's replaced by a black void once again, sucking my soul from my body. Draining everything from me, I'm sleepy and tired of fighting. Just slipping into oblivion, let go.

Let go Anna, just slip away, stop fighting. Die. It's warmer in death, you will be happy, join hunter, and face those you've wronged.

I was going to give in, just give up, until I heard the voice.

"Anna, please come back." Sniff sniff "if you die because of me I'll never forgive myself. I'm sorry I couldn't fight harder and now you're in a coma because I was weak."

The voice was male, rough and husky. I know who it is, but I can't reply. Jeff! I'm alive I'm not dead, I'm here! Wait, what a coma? How long have I been out... Wake up, you need to wake up Anna. Get up. Now. GET UP.

With that the light came back and this time I sprinted towards it and launched myself into it. As I did, my eyes started to flutter open, everything was so bright that it took a few minutes to see things right. I was expecting to see Jeff standing by my bed, but no one was there. "He-e-l" I tried to call out hello to someone but my throat burned and barley made a sound. It Just sounded like a dying toad, great. I looked around and found myself in the infirmary, there were dead flowers on the tables and old battered cards. It looks like no one has switched them in a while, where is everyone? I steadied my self on the rails of the bed while sitting up. The machines were still beeping and I had an IV in my arm. Empty IV bag hanging next to my bed, and my covers are dusty. I gripped the syringe in my arm and yanked it, no blood drained from my body though. I thought that maybe there was a blood clot or something at first but there were no signs of it.

There was a mirror in the corner of the wall so I made my way to it, I gasped and stumbled back when I saw myself. My once blue eyes were now pure white with a black where the old white part of my was. My arms and legs were practically bone and skin, and my skin, it's so pale. Under my eyes is so dark like I haven't slept in years. My body is so mal nourished, well that what I thought it was. I could barley walk to the door without holding onto something, terrified that my legs would just snap. I grabbed the door knob about to turn it when I realized I'm only wearing a bra and underwear. I glanced around the room looking for something to wear, and found there was a dresser over in the back room. It took about 10 minutes of shuffling to get to it, when I opened the first drawer there was a plain men's black t-shirt, and the second drawer contained a pair of men's camo pants. Both of them were baggy on me so I grabbed string and made a shitty belt and tucked my shirt it. I probably look like a soldier but whatever I wanted to go into the military anyway.

Once again standing at the door I pushed it open to find a surprisingly clean hallway. I guess they are still here but where? My stomach started to yell at me. Grumble grumble feed meee!! I knew it was Actully yelling 'Feed me' but I still needed food.

Keeping my hand on the walls as I walked towards the stairs, when I got there it was worse than just walking. When I was a kid I'd always sit and Scoot my was down the stairs just for fun but now it hurt so bad. Wincing every time my bottom touched a stair I finally reached the bottom. First to come into view was the living room and there Ben was playing stupid video games as well as Sally playing with dolls. They haven't noticed me yet but they did once I coughed. They both turned towards me and looked shocked. Even Sally screamed, but it wasn't excited it was a horrified scream. "What's wrong guys? Aren't you happy to see me?" I asked

"Y-you are d-dead!" Ben stammered

"Well clearly Ben I'm alive." I have him that look like, you idiot.

"You sure as hell were not Alive for the past 6 months!" Ben screeched

I flinched. What six months? But how..

"I've been out for six months?" I was so confused.

"Yes, everyone stopped visiting a few weeks ago, Jeff was the last to visit before he broke. Ugh here Anna let me help you." Ben got up and strode over and pulling me up. "Damn Anna were you always this light?" He tried to laugh.

"Shut the hell up Ben, and wait where's everyone else?" I questioned

"Well most are out doing whatever they do, ya know killer things. Slender is 'shopping' and Jeff is probably drunk again. He won't be home till tonight."

"Why would Jeff be drunk, I didn't know he drank?" I've never seen Jeff drink, he smoked some pot with Ben I knew that but drinking, no i never saw Jeff as a drinker.

"Ugh, Jeffs been drinking everyday since you died, ugh, I mean since you, you know didn't wake up for six months. Your corpse never rotted so he thought you were still alive, even though slender told him your heart stopped beating. Ever since he's been drinking his sorrows away, everyone was upset when We thought you passed. But Jeff was the worse, he thought you died because he was weak and he didn't save you." Ben explained everything else with everyone but I was too busy worrying about Jeff till I got poked on the arm. I turned my head to see a tear stained sally. Oh my gosh I forgot Sally thought I was dead too.

"Are you really alive? Is this a dream, please Anna be alive I miss you so much." Sally cried

"Yes sal I'm alive, I'm here now." I said while pulling her into a big hug.

~time skip~
By now almost everyone has come out had the whole " oh my god! Anna you're alive!" Fest. I waited and waited for Jeff to get home but I soon fell asleep on the couch at around 4 am.

Crash!

I sat up and saw a very intoxicated Jeff stumbling around knocking pictures off the walls. "Jeff! What are you doing?!" I yelled at him.

His head snapped to look at me. "Anna...? No you're not real you're dead, get out of my head!" He kept shaking his head and started to cry.

I staggered over to him and sat him down while hugging him close. "Shh Jeff, I'm alive I'm here, everything is okay." I tried to sooth the killer.

He threw his arms around me and cried into my shoulder. I rubbed his back and eventually he fell asleep in my arms. We both sorta crashed on the floor, finally things can go back to normal.
