Am I dead?

I felt like it. But, I soon came to realize I wasnt when I heard Ender calling my name from some distant place. I knew I should wake up, but yet sleeping still felt like the best option.

Wait, I can hear?!

Last I checked, I was basically a veggitable floating in space. I opened my eyes, but regretted it. The blinding light nearly made me go blind, literally and permantly. Instead, I decided to try moving my numb body. I wiggled my toes, then my fingers. Someone laughed. I wanted to shout, "You wouldnt be laughing if you went brain dead!" I opened my eyes again, this time the light not as bright. I look to my right, noting two people ive never seen before with giant grins plastered on their faces. 

"You're awake." Ender grasped my hand. I tried to sit up, but my stomach felt like someone stuffed knives into me. Immediatley, Ender softly pushed me back down. "It's not a good idea to move just yet."

I nodded. "Uh.. Were there any reports from Earth?" I ask.

All three of them look at eachother nervously. The girl nodded. "Yes.. But it wasnt good news."

"What? What is it?"

A tear ran down her cheek. "The new buggers are killing everyone as we speak."
