Code Geass: the next story

Chapter 2: Awakening

Lelouche's POV:

Dark. Silent. Nothingness.

        That's what I felt. Or better said I didn't. My whole body felt like floating in water, covered in a thick fog like wool that suppressed every thing I was.

        Than something was awakened inside me. It wasn't an image, word, emotion or anything else that I felt or knew before. I knew what it was. It's name was on the top of my tongue.

        Suddenly a frightening sensation ,that you have when that thing inside of you that makes you... you it's pushed out, filled me. A rush of images flown through my eyes. When I tried to focus on one it was already replaced by another. While this was happening the pain... no, it can't be described as pain. That sensation was still filling me.

        Than a image became clear: a planet slowing its rotation, 2 giant metal planets crushing on each other, a curtain of white feathers and finally hundreds of people aligned. Than like a movie that suddenly ends the dark was back again.

        But with the dark my sensations were also back.

        I could tell that I was lying on something cool and silky but my head was still floating and I fought to release myself from the sleep's sticky cloth. Once I felt that I was starting to awaken I also felt like I was thrown into freezing water.

        All my memories became painfully clear as my eyes opened and my blurred vision was clarified.

        I was supposed to be dead... no, the world needed me dead. But I was alive.

        "How?" I asked while I sat up.

        "You tell me." a familiar voice answered.

        I suddenly turned my head in the direction of the voice. I regretted instantly. The whole word became blurred, I felt my body weak and it felt like I was going to vomit. I fell back in bed.

        A laugh that sounded like a hundred bells filled the room.

        "Easy cowboy." CC said "You're still a little dead."

        "I felt like like dying" I replayed while I was staring at the ceiling. "But why ain't I dead?"

        CC smiled. Her usual I-know-more-than-you-do-but-I-won't-tell smile.

        I tried to get up again. This time I made shore that I moved slowly. The vomit sensation was still there but it was weaker, the dizziness made me feel the Earth's rotation once again but I managed to get up.

        The room that I was in was (probably) the morgue. I looked down to discover that I was dressed in a one-piece, white consume that look very much alike to the one that CC was dressed in the day I met her for the first time.

        "Is this my my burial costume? "

        CC continued to smile as she showed me what was she standing on. A round capsule that was just like the one that she was sealed in. "They were planing to seal you away. In case that I had gave you my code of something, they thought."

        "But you didn't." I said trying to keep my voice calm. 

        "How do you know that?"

        "You're alive."

        "Got you're point."

        "But then why am I..." my voice was gradually faded as I realized. "Charle's... code" I said 

        By the smile on CC's face I guessed I was right. So my father passed the code down to me... but, "Why?"

        "Because you killed him. If you kill a code owner while having Geass completely activated the code will automatically be passed down to you." "And you can't refuse" she added.

        "Is it a mirror in this room?" I asked

        She was a little surprised until she realized what I wanted to see. "Here" she said making a wide gesture that showed the whole room.

        Actually the floor was so well polished that I could easily see my reflection in it. I carefully steeped out of the bed. My legs were still weak but I manege to go to the closest wall and look at my reflection. My hair was messy and my face pale. 

        But that's not what I wanted to check. I swallowed as I lowered my collar to see if... but the code was't there. I also checked my hands remembering that my dad had his code on the left palm. My hands looked perfectly normal. Than I suddenly remembered to check my forehead. The chances were so low that up until that moment I didn't even thought at that possibility. The Murphy's laws worked this time too so I saw the red Geass symbol market on the forehead. 

        "But... why... how?"

        CC shrugged "It dose't really matters where the one that gives the code has it's own code. I guess that you stays so much with me so when you thought at the Geass seal you pictured the one on my forehead. So you got you're's on the forehead too." she stooped as she was listening to something. "They're coming." she said "Suzaku and Nunnaly "

        "How do you know that?"

        "I'm feeling it. You don't ?"

        Now that she mentioned I also had a strange feeling. "I do."

       We looked at each other as the foot steps were approaching the door.
