My Shadow

Chapter 17:

"Who be you?" I say flustered. I sound like Yoda. Get it together Eclipse. "Your mother," she says slowly dragging her words like I'm from another planet. Next thing you know she'll be saying, "Welcome to Earth!" "Welcome back, Taylor!" What did I say?! "Excuseeee me?! My name is Eclipse." I say with some attitude. "She must've had a realistic life-like dream while she was in a coma. It happens with quite a few patients." The doctor reassures my "mom." I look at her with disbelief, but uncertainty with narrow eyes. I mean I was pretty sure she was dead. "Where's Tyler?!" I blurt out. "Wait, The One said his name was Zach correct?" "Yes.." She replies slowly she whispers something to the doctor, probably to get my head checked. Mother then seemed like something just came in her head, "Your father, oh! And Zach!" I nodded my head, "Mhmmm, so dad's alive..." "Of course, why wouldn't he be?" I shouldn't answer and talk about the otherworld just yet or she'll probably check me into a mental institute. "Never mind." I dismissed the idea.

She pulled this strange thing out of this bag on the couch. "What is that?" I curiously inquired. She looked at me like I was utterly insane. "It will be a little while until she remembers some things." The doctor replied to her confused gaze. "This is a phone. I contact people on this." "Okay." She began to peck away on the curious "phone" thing. The doctor called nurses in and they took my blood pressure and stuff and also drew blood. After a while of the nurses and doctor exchanging words and looks at me, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." The doctor instructed. A man in his forties came in and behind him came a boy. Oh dang he fine! He had beautiful blue eyes just like Tyler's but instead of black hair he had red hair. He still had the same dress style though. "Zach?" I uttered out. He smiled with this mischievous hint in his smile. He came over grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "Yes." He said breathlessly in a deep, sexy voice. He looked as if he was on the verge of tears. I jumped to my feet and hugged him as if there was no tomorrow. I heard a gasp throughout the room. I don't care. I love him. Because this was the same Tyler I knew, or dreamed about and love.
