I opened my eyes or I thought i did. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I tried to close my eyes and open them again but it was still dark. I was going to try to lift my hand up but then I remembered that the crazy nurse had tied me down but I could lift my hand. 
-Strange.- Then the lights were turned on and I closed my eyes.
"Oh, it's alive." someone said and chuckled. My heart took a jump and I opened my eyes and I saw that I wasn't in the hospital anymore. I was in a small cozy room and I was laying in a normal bed but I had a needle in my arm and a tube stuck to it and lead to some clear liquid. 
I looked over the room to find the owner of the voice and I felt my heart jump. John was standing against the wall. This wasn't the same John I had seen at the hospital, this one had warm blue eyes and his smile reached his eyes. John walked over to me and took my hand. I squeezed his hand back and felt how weak I was. 
"What happened?" I asked and John looked a bit worried.

"I really don't understand it myself but when I woke up  I was just like you. Laying in a hospital bed with that thing in my nable."

I stroke over my stomach and felt that the thing was still there.
"Then some nurse came to me and talked to me. I was going to go and find you but you came to me. You told me to lay still and that everything would be okay. At first I believed it but then I saw that this wasn't you. Then those people came and rescued me from these crazy people. We had been planning your rescue for 3. months now. The only thing left to do was to wait for you to wake up."
"Wait a sec. 3. months? 3. months?!? How long has it been since we were in the lake?"

John didn't answer me, the just sat there and looked at the floor and I could see the pain in his face.
"John, how long have I been sleeping?" I asked again.
"...I had been sleeping for 2 years when I woke up."
I felt like the room was floating. 2 years? Had I really been sleeping for more that 2 years?!
"What about my mom? What about the other people, where is everybody?" 

"hush now Maria, listen. I really don't know anything about this, but Karl does."
"Karl?"

"Yeah, he was the first one to escape." I wasn't sure that I was understanding this right and John saw that.
"I'll go fetch him for you and let him explain this for you." John said and stood up.
"Promise you won't be long?" I asked and held his hand tighter. 
"I promise." He said and stroke my cheek. 

John wasn't gone long, like max 10. minutes. When he came back a big man was with him. Karl was like 2,10 cm and skinny as hell. He had black hair which reached is shoulders and he had glasses. 
"Hello Maria." Karl said and his voice was a lot deeper than I had imagined. 
"Hello" I said.
"I was told that you wanted to know more about those robots."
