Lost In Time

""""""

When she came to the second time, her vision seemed a bit clear so she could see that she was in some kind of hospital room. There were two seats in front of her and she was  hooked up to some machines beside her bed. She turned to her left to see a curtained covered window.

Groaning lightly,Freya tried to sit up and manage to get half way up before a sharp pain shot through her head. Freya slowly laid down and shut her eyes in an effort to num out the pain.

After a minute or two,the pain faded away, leaving  Freya in a world of darkness and the beeping sound of the machines in her room. She literally couldn't hear anything from outside of her room.

The sound of a door opening prompted her to open her eyes. A man and a woman wearing black suits entered. They both looked younger than her parents but still older than her. The man walked towards the front of her bed and stood there.

The woman took a seat on the left side of her bed.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Freya croaked. Her throat was dry and felt like sandpaper. The woman turned to the table near the bed and opened a a small box. From inside,she pulled out a small ice cube.

Turning to back to Freya,the woman held the cube in front of her mouth",Open."

Freya frowned at the woman,who in turn, laughed softly,"Don't worry, it will make your throat better."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Freya took the cube and popped it in her mouth. The cube was cold but it melted quickly and it tasted like cold grape juice running down her throat. Almost instantly ,her throat  felt better, her vision went clear and she felt no pain.

"Wow, what is that?" Freya asked with a smile as she reach up to rub her throat.

The man chuckled,"Happy Cubes is what we non science people call them. They're suppose to make you feel better."

"Well it definitely worked."

As Freya stopped rubbing her throat, the woman pointed to herself and the man respectively,"Freya, my name is Opal and this is my husband, Drake."

Freya frowned,"How do you know my name?"

"We'll get to that later, first, tell me something. What's the last thing you remember?"

"A meteor shower. I was telling my sisters...to get to the Storm shelter," Freya sat up straight with a gasp,"My sisters! Are they safe?!"

The couple exchanged pained glances before Opal spoke," They're alright. You saved them."

Ferya frowned as she caught their glances,"You're  not telling me something. Something important."

"Maybe it's better that we show you before we tell you the whole story."

"Show me what? What whole story?"

******

Freya could not and would not believe her eyes as she sat in her wheelchair and stared out the window.

Outside were tall glittering buildings, flying vehicles and people walked around in what looked like cybernetic  clothing,though Opal just said that this was the way everyone dressed up these days.

These days.

That phrase just made her want to curl up and cry. Clearly her sisters and parents were safe but they were no longer living.

"How long was I out ?"Freya choked out.

"Two centuries,"Opal answered gently. She then moved to crounch down beside Freya," I'm sorry Freya."

"How? I should have died that day?"

Opal nodded," True but from what we know,the meteor that struck you, absorded you inside to a kind of ship and kept you in suspeneded animation. The meteor was taken by the government and they tried everything they could to get you out."

"Finally when they couldn't do anymore, they had to keep your ship hidden."

Tears slipped down Freya's face,"My family?"

Opal placed a comforting hand in her hands,"They were allowed to come and see your ship till you went into hiding."

Drake continued,"You stayed inside the ship till last month. The meter cracked open and the ship started to glow. Next thing we knew, the front hatch opened and you were inside. Healthy and unaged."

Freya frowned as she wiped her tears ,"Unaged?"

Opal and Drake exchanged glances before Drake answerd,"The scientists were thinking you'd have aged in two centuries and died but for some reason,you  haven't. You still look an  eighteen year old."

"Ninteen."Freya pointed out.

"I'm sorry?"

"My birthday was...never mind, I guess it doesn't matter any more."

"We been coming here everyday, hoping that you'd wake up,"Opal said as Freya took a shuddering breath.

"I just need some time alone."

"Of course,we'll be in your room waiting."

Opal the stood and walked doen the hallway with Drake close to her. When they reached the door to her room,Freya called out for Opal.

"What's going to happen me now?"

Opal gave her a sad smile,"I have been tasked to make sure you adjust to this new era and help you put your life back together."

"What if I want to go home? To my family's farm?"

Drake spoke up,"We'll both personally take you there when you can walk again."

Freya nodded and turned back to the window.

Alot will have changed and now she had to adjust to it especially to the thought that she'd never seen her family again.

Now when the tears fell,she cried out and sobbed till her head ached. No more mum, dad, Blair and Willow. What hurt the most was that she didn't even get the chance to see little Willow grow up.

Her baby sister was so young. Did she even remember her after the meteor shower? Or afterwards when Freya laided asleep in some spaceship? Was she just a distant memory?

Even Blair and her parents. Gosh, her parents. She didn't even want to think about what her sleep did to them.

All these questions and thoughts ran through her head till she couldn't cry anymore.

Things were going to be different now. She had to understand that and libe with it.

When she felt strong enough to not burst into tears, she wheeled herself back to her room where the couple sat waiting for her.

"What's going to happen now?"

"There are some doctors who will be here shortly to give you a check up and a therapist for you to talk to,"Drake answered.

Freya shook her head,"I don't want a shrink, I can't afford it-"

Opal cut in,"It's alright,it's for free."

Freya paused for a brief second,"Okay then after that I want to go and see my home."

"Of course."

"Could  you....could you tell me about them? I mean ,about their lives after I went, after the meteor shower."

Opal nodded.
