You open your eyes and you lay in yours and clems room. The door is quickly slammed as someone runs out. What was that about?

There a bunch of chairs set around the bed all facing towards you from where people would sit and watch you. How long have I been out?

Sitting up, you look at the bed side table. You are thirsty and spot a glass of water in the sun light passing through the window as I glows making it look like the best god damned liquid to graze the earth.

You notice you are only in your jeans and your body is slightly covered in blood as someone had cleaned most of it off.

You climb out of the bed and walk over to the glass picking it up. You take a big swig of it as it feels like a drought has just been flooded in your throat. It tastes like shut but better than nothing. It is lukewarm from the suns heat.

You place the glass down and the door quickly slams open and a shot is fired in your direction. It skims past your ear as you hear it zip through the air and hitting the wall behind you.

You focus on the doorway as you see Lewis stood with a handgun aimed at your head.

You: what the fuck?!

He drops his gun and runs at you as you get prepared to be hit but you feel his arms wrap around you. You hug him back a little confused. You look over his shoulder at the doorway to see the two doctors and a group of people looking in amazement. Lewis let's go of you and you get even more confused.

You open your mouth to ask what in the flying fuck is going on but Clem walks in front of the group. She is bawling her eyes out and can hardly breath.

You: on my god Clem what's up?

Your voice is deep and grizzled like when you first wake up in the morning. As you speak her eyes widen and she holds her breath as she looks at you.

She runs at you hugging you and sobs into your chest. You wrap your arms around her and rest your chin on her head as she squeezes tighter.

Clem: I- I- I thou- thoug- thought you said y- yo- you- you'd never do that a- aga- again.

She says between breaths. She sobs uncontrollably into you a chest.

You: it ok I'm fine.

Clem: no your not fine!

You: what are you talking about?

One of the doctors steps into the room and puts a hand on your shoulder.

Doctor: you need to sit down.

You do as you are told and plop down on the bed as clem rests against the desk.

Doctor: you lost a litre and a half of blood. That's about 0.5 gallons and that was just while you where here with us so you probably lost much more. By normal human standards you should have been dead when we found you. We stitched you up after you broke out and passed out because you where shot with a tranquilliser.

You: that's a lot of blood.

Doctor: yes. You where in a catatonic state for 3 days and hadn't moved a muscle. About 2 minutes ago your pulse fully stopped and all other signs of life disappeared. You had died.

You: wait. What?

Doctor: you had died due to the blood loss and the trauma your body had taken but when we came in to stop you from turning you began to move so we got Lewis, who had his gun, to come and stop you. That's why these two are in such a state.

You look at Lewis who has an expression on his face like the last of his family just died. Clem...

Well she's beyond sad. You'd never seen anyone this upset in your life. Well now it's sort of your second life.
