Struggle's Sweet Gift (Discontinued)

Chapter 1 : Waking up

I opened my eyes and focused on the plain white ceiling infront of me . My sight sharpened and I realized it wasnt plain . It had light blue floral patterns drawn acroos it . It was soothing , actually . Yet , it felt like something was missing . My ears sharpened and I heard the sound of soft snores beside me .

I slowly turned my head to my right and a small smile made its way to my lips at the sight of Joe , my idiotic , stupid , yet caring brother snoring with his head on my right hand . Oh wow . My hand . I looked at my left one and was surprised again . They were dead pale . As though I was a living corpse .

Yeah sure , I've loved and dreamt of being a vampire . But now , err, not really .

Then I found back my feelings . I was insanely thirsty . My throat was so dry , Im pretty sure a cactus was growing there . My head was numb and felt heavy .

My stomach was grumbling out of hunger . And my legs were numb , I couldnt feel them . I roamed my eyes around the room to distract myself and realised I was in a hospital room with the heart moniter , syringes and stuff . Then , when I still wasnt ready , the events that rounded me up here came crashing down upon me .

I remembered how I was driving to the ambassy right in the crucial moment of the mission when a car collided sideways to my car . My own screams still rang in my ears . Well , as much as I remember , I didnt get much damage to my body ... but yeah , Im pretty sure my legs got it all . Though its actually a miracle that I survived . I still shiver at the state of the crushed car and ...and ...

My heart rate in the moniter became alarmingly fast and loud , waking Joe up . I stared at him with franctic eyes , while he gave me a confused look .

"Sean ? Where is he , Joe ?" I croaked out .

Joe had a pained expression on ."You should take some rest , Gold ".

"No !" I said more sternly , my agent spirit showing up .

Joe grit his teeth in irritation and sadness . "Fine . He's no more ".

And I shattered . An awesome agent , co worker and friend , Sean , died all all becuse I couldnt drive well ? Nonononono. This cant be happening . Why did he have to block the car for saving me ? Getting all the blows himself ?! Its still crystal clear the way he smiled and gave me a wink and mouthed BEST FRIENDS before lifelessly dropping on my lap . No . Please not Sean . Please . Why him ? Why not me ?!
