chapter 1

The darkness seemed to be receeding. Though I haven't regained my sight but I was slowly registering sound, there was a constant sound in the background, not so loud but still irritating.

I could also hear the sound of two men talking. I listened but couldn't totally make out what they were saying, but one thing I was sure of is that they were not familiar.

I tried to take a deep breathe the realised I couldn't. It felt like somthing was holding my nose. The icey fingers of panic ran down my back causing me to shiver? I thought I was  careful. I didn't think anyone followed. Was I wrong?

I tried to remove whatever was holding my nose and felt something tug my hand just below my wrist. Where am I? Did they tie me up? My heartbeat had skyrocketed, I'm trying to take deep breath but there doesn't seem to be any air.

I can hear that constant irritating noise in the background has become rapid. Then suddenly the thing on my nose was gone and I could breathe. I heard a man's voice, I guess it's one the ones talking earlier saying " you're fine. Everything is fine. You're going to be just fine. The doctor said there is nothing serious wrong with you, so you're fine. Can you open your eyes?" I tried to open my eyes but realised I couldn't.

However something he said stuck with me. My father always talked about his brief adventure on the other side, when he was still young and stupid and an incident that landed him in a hospital with doctors and scary needles. Listening to his stories had sparked my dreams of seeing this other world. I have always been a voracious reader and i devoured whatever book they would permit me to get my hands on. So I believe myself to know a great deal about the other world, but still not enough considering how big and diversified it is.
So the mention of doctor has to been I crossed safely right? Father had given me specific instructions . 'Father' just the thought of him causes a tight feeling of pressure in my chest, so I must be in one of those hospitals. But I remember the stories he told me about the other side.

The things to do and not to do, but I remember that the most important thing to do was supposed to be staying away from trouble and landing in a hospital on my first day here couldn't be a good thing now could it? Is it even the first day? I don't know how I'm supposed to fulfill my task and find him especially with how big this place is. Though father did say he might find me first, but I don't even know what he looks like, all I is description.

I was still worrying about this when the darkness took me again.

The next time i opened my eyes it was bright outside. The sun seemed to already be high in the sky. The room has a medium sized window and a curtain of some sort was moving with the breeze. I turned my attention to he room itself and realised that it is stark white and had an impersonal geel to it, the small bed I'm lying on seem to be the only furniture apart from a small sofa. I guess all those things I read in those books about hospital rooms are true.

I was still trying to properly orient myself with the place when the door opened and in walked a young man with a light blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a slightly muscular build, like he worked hard but not at something hard, looks very tall, taller than me, but then everybody is taller than me. He is holding a cup that he was drinking from as ne walked in.

He looks at me and says " oh good you're up. I was beginning to get scared that you wouldn't wake up. I'm Matt by the way. It's a good thing you're up cause the cop has been wanting to talk to you."

Did he say cop? That's how they refer to the lae enforcers right? And I was warned to stay out of trouble. I feel like my stomach suddenly dropped away. This cannot be good.

Ok people that's the first chapter. I feel like it's not as long as it can be but, oh well. I'll try to make the others longer. Please tell me what you think and if you aliked it vote.
