Little Monsters

The awakening

I wake up and my vision is a little blurry at first but when they settle out I see a lot of white walls. I try to sit up but I feel weak and lay back down. I look around and see a lot of liquid. "Where am I?" I whisper in a very light raspy voice like I haven't woken up in two weeks. Then I notice that I am in a hospital. WAIT A HOSPITAL! I think to myself. WHY AM I HERE! These things are barley used here. "Omg your awake!" Brice runs to me. I could barley move and I had needles sticking in me everywhere. "Gosh my head hurts." I say grabbing my head. "Doesn't surprise me." Brice laughs looking at me. "What? Wh- Brice why am I even here?" I asks confused. "Well you see two weeks ago-"
"Wait.. iv been asleep for two whole weeks!?" I asks shocked. "Yes now let me finish." Brice tells me smacking his lips.
"Two weeks ago you had a little break down and made the whole city worried and scared of you."
I knew something would happen.
"Great. So now the whole city is scared of me and my mom isn't even here because she's probably scared of me to."
"A lot has happened the past weeks Haven. It feels like a lot has changed." He tells me worried and looks down like he is sad about something.
"What do you mean a lot has happened? Brice where's my mom?" I say sitting up.
"She's down stairs.... talking to the doctor about your condition." Brice tells me this like he is scared or worried and upset about something... and I'm so confused.
"Condition?" I ask.
"I over heard them talking earlier and they said thy need to run test on you."

"Test?"
"Yes. The doctors and nurses said that you will be taken away for a little to help you.." Brice tells me in a soft whistle like he is exhausted or .. depressed.
"Brice... tell me what's going on."
I sit up a little more enough to be in his face to show him that I am worried.
"Bri-" I was cut off.
"I'm just worried that's all." He says bursting it out of his mouth but quietly."
"Worried about what."
"Everything. Things just feel ... different you know?" Brice says cutting off his words and looking at the ground thinking.
"Tell me what's going on Bri." I look at him and connect eyes to show him I am listening.
"I just feel icky about a lot of stuff and people have changed and it's like the vibe here in this city has been lost. Like everybody is just faking smiles now, and city patrol has been everywhere now and taking people and - everything's just different and it feels like I'm the only one who notices." He tells me and iv never seen him this way before and iv never been this worried before.
"Haven I have a weird feeling about this and the city."
"What do you mean "this?" I ask him.
"This place and you. I'm worried for you Haven." Brice is saying this all so serious like he's seen a blood bath or something. I have never met this Brice before but I'm scared.
"Well is Cujo okay?" I ask him wanting something good out of this.
"Yes he's fine, iv been watching over him for you. It's kinda lonely without you home." He smirks a little. "School just feels awkward now after your incident and everything. I mean it could just be me but I don't know." He says not as serious as before looking at me. "I miss you Haven." He smiles and tells me.
"I'd miss me too." I laugh.
And in that moment I just realized how important Brice was to me. He was there when my parents weren't and he was there through my whole life. He's all I had and yet he's still all I have.
"You are my best friend right?" I ask him. Ever since we were little I have always asked him that. I'm sure he got annoyed but it's just my way of knowing he's there.
"No." He says sarcastic.
"Brice I have one more question."
He looks at me nodding as if he wants me to ask.
"What happened the night of the dinner, what happened to me?"
"Doesn't surprise me you don't know. Nobody really knows what happened to you but you were unconscious and kept saying something." He says.
"What was I saying?" I ask but I'm wandering how because I can't remember anything.
"At first you were seizing which was scary and then you just stoped and kept saying weird words and a name, you kept saying Alec and a whole bunch of other weird stuff." He tells me laughing a little because he thought it was funny.
I don't remember anyone named Alec and I don't know why I would be saying weird words.
As soon as Brice was about to say something to me the hospital door burst open with a huge table like thing.
It was loud.
"Brice are they gonna put me on that?!" I yell scared and my heart pounding.
There so many nurses and surgeons in such a small space.
Brice is standing right beside me looking around terrified like he wasn't expecting this.
"Hav" "Haven!" I hear Brice yelling at me while I am being forced up like I am a monster. Everything is happening so fast.
"Br-Brice what's happening!" I say scared looking everywhere while there are four people holding me.
"I- I don't know." Brice almost seems more scared than me right now.
I was looking at everything and my heart was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. I was being strapped to the table looking object. I quickly push off the nurse strapping me down on my left and elbow the man nurse to my right making him let go. I run up to Brice and hug him. "What am I." I tell him swiftly as all the nurses take me back and strap me down.
I see Brice worried as they start to stick needles on to my skin.
"AHH!" I scream. These needles hurt.
Everything then gets blurry and I see the ceiling moving as if I am being rolled away. I look up and see my mom crying. I wander why she's crying if I'm getting help. As I start to lay my head back down I see Brice run up to her and stand with her. Then

Everything is black again.
