I woke up slowly,feeling pain in my lower torso. "Hey kiddo,I see you're finally awake." I heard a giddy,excited voice say to me. I looked up to see Toby staring down at me we,along with Jack. I looked dat Jack "How...how long have I been out?" I heard a sigh from both of them,then Toby leaned down and whispered "Two weeks..." My eyes instantly widened. Two damn weeks?! W"hat the hell happened to me?!"I nearly shouted. Jack put a finger to his mask,the way a librarian would when someone was talking. "The thing that attacked you had traces of sigma radiation. You had lots of cuts,meaning there was a lot if the radiation inside you,and the blood loss and shock added in." It took me a few seconds to comprehend. "The radiation knocked me out?" He nodded and helped me up. "You can go to your room. Your cuts are healed and you should feel weak for a bit,but that will eventually subside. Give it a few hours,James." I nodded,putting that into my memory. Then I remembered something important. "Hey,did y'all find Kate?" Toby and Jack looked at each other,then back to me "Yes,but she isn't well. She should be fine,possibly by tomorrow." I nodded. That's all I wanted to hear. I walked down the hall and looked around. From the windows,I could see that it was night. I kept walking,slowly observing the hallway and it's doors. Every door had it's own decoration,designed for it's owner. I then looked at my door as I arrived to it. It was blank. No decorations. I sighed and opened my door. What I saw inside was completely and utterly creepy. There was a person sitting on my bed. But I had never seen this person. I saw the person's head turn to me and then the person started to laugh and my lights went out.
