My eyes flickered and for a second I saw a bright light. Too bright for my eyes in their current condition.

I can hear anything anymore, just silence. Blissful. I guess my life's going to be different from now on.

I try to open my eyes again but slower this time. I still feel like I'm dreaming or at least not awake. When my eyes finally adjust to the brightness, I can make out a figure. A very elegant figure. Long legs, nice curves, not to muscular but not to skinny either. If you ask me, her figure was perfect. She has long Snow White hair. She's wearing this beautiful long flowy white dress. She looks outstanding.

She must of felt my eyes staring holes into the back of her because she gracefully turns around&wow. Those eyes! Piercing right through me but not in a bad way. They made me feel all tingly inside. Crystal blue eyes! I can't look away. I'm transfixed on them. Anyone would be. Her facial features are just as amazing. Not a blemish or red mark in site. Whatever moisturiser she uses is amazing. I must ask her.

Unknown women; "Ryan, did your parents never teach that's it's rude to stare."

Her voice!! Omg her voice. So delicate, yet elegant, yet very fucking powerful.

My face is heating up I can feel it. But I can't seem to tear my eyes away, even through the embarrassment of being caught staring. It's like I'm under a spell.

Without another word being said she starts moving towards my position on the floor. No longer feeling any of the previous pain. She knelt down in front of mee and slowly raised her hand to my still red cheek.

Unknown women; "you're the chosen one Ryan. You're very gifted. Don't waste it!"

And as quickly as she appeared. She disappeared even faster. Another bright light took over my eyes, forcing mee to shut them again.

I was praying I would wake up after this. It has to be over. No one has ever taken this long to shift. WAIT. How long have I been out for? Now I really need to wake up.

My hear seems to be the first sense to come back to mee. Slow constant beeping, as if regulating something. It's proper loud asif it's right next to mee and on full volume.
The next is my touch, I can feel a very rough material, almost like sand paper but made out of cotton or something. Defiantly a bed sheet of some sort. A very uncomfortable one. Then my smell. Mmmmm food. I'm starving.

Then my sight. I slowly open my eyes to look at the world. The first thing I see are my parents sitting on opposite sides of the bed. But where am I? This isn't my room it any room in the house. I can tell it's a hospital now, by the pale white walls, the heart monitors and the pipe coming out of my mouth and all the cables and wires coming off of me. Wtf happened.

I try to reach out to wake up my mum, who has her head rested against my bed. But my arms hurt. I feel soo weak. Yet soo much stronger at the same time.

Then it clicked I must be in some type of medical facility, either a hospital or doctors. Slowly my arms start to move in the direction that I wanted them to move. The tips of my fingers grazed my mother's hand, twitching to grasp it, my strength slowly coming back to me, I grab her hand my mother woke up with a start, she tried removing the grasp I had on her hand. She squeaked out making me realise I was squeezing way to tightly so I loosened my grip and when I did, she jumped up and squashed mee in a tight hug.
Isabella; "OMG!! Ryan I can't believe you're finally awake"

Ryan; *cough* "carry on squeezing me and I won't be awake for much longer"
Squeezing back just as tight.

Ryan; "mum what happened?"
My voice was hoarse from its lack of use, my throat was hurting so bad, I pointed to the water on the bedside table gesturing to my mouth to my mother, I think she got the hint because she rushed around the bed and placed the glass to my lips as she was doing this, she offered up abit of an explanation.

Isabella; "Basically Ryan, you went through your change, which I'm guessing you figured out already?"

I just simply nodded not wanting to derail this explanation.

Isabella; "well we, your dad and I placed you on the couch once you passed out, thinking you'd be awake in a couple of hours, however that never happened after a day or two we started to worry so we brought you here, it's a hospital specifically for people like us, they treat when we're ill."

My throat was still burning. What is wrong with mee?

Ryan; "Mum my throat hurts soo much"

The look on her face was indescribable, the look of pure fear crossed her face, she started to shake her head as she didn't believe what I just said.

Ryan; " what mum? What's wrong?"

I tried to reach out to her but she pulled her arm back so fast as if I was diseased or on fire. The pain I felt in my heart was unbelievable, it was crumbling. My own mother doesn't even want to touch me anymore.

Slowly she started trying to move her mouth but no words would leave her mouth. Just mumbles of incoherent words.

Then she just walks out without even a second glance.

Ryan; "Mum"

I screamed but didn't get a response.

Why did she just run out like that?

Why is my throat so sore?
