So It Begins

Intro (Part Two)

I woke up a bit dazed and confused in a hospital room. It took my eyes a few blinks for them to fully understand what they were seeing. The lights were so bright and my ears were on hyper drive because of the impact. My ears wanted to hear everything and for a minute they did. I gripped the sides of that bed and forced my senses to focus.

That's when I got that feeling, the feeling I should've had a while ago. I didn't though, and now it wasn't that something was about to happen. It was that something bad had already happened. Something more than just me waking up in a hospital. Thanks gut, thanks a lot.

My focus had finally settled. Then I heard them "she's one of them." Not knowing the doctors were talking about me. I looked my body over, clenched my hands into fists, and threw my legs over the side of the bed. My body ached a bit, but nothing I couldn't move along with. "She's not awake yet, we could make it look like it was from the accident" this piqued my interest "her sister as well, just for good measure."

It dawned on me "her and her sister" "she's not awake yet" standing right outside my door. They planned to kill us. I had to find Leia. Wait. Why wasn't they mentioning our parents? Again, another realization, the wreck killed them.

"Pointed ears, they don't belong among us" another doctor chimed in. Pointed ears? I didn't belong? He meant among humans.

I remember waiting for what seemed like ages for them to leave so I could creep out of that room. I still remember finding Leia after inching along those halls. She was still knocked out. She was limp and I carried her out of there as quietly and cautiously as I could.

All I felt was anger and numbness. They were just going to off us because I was different than them. It was then I realized why I wasn't always allowed to have my hair up. I realized why Leia wasn't allowed to wear a bikini and it wasn't just because our parents were strict.

People were turning us into bad things. We were becoming the outsiders. They were either scared of us, or really believed our kind wasn't needed or wanted.

Then, I didn't really know. Now? I'm starting to.
