Amnesia ~reddie~

surgery

the guards dragged eddie into a white room with an operation table in it. beside the table was a smaller table containing surgical tools and syringes.

eddie began panicking, thinking of what the doctors would do to him here. would they slice him up? take out his eyes? cause more damage?

eddie didn't want to find out.
he started fighting back against the guards, trying to kick them and throw them off balance. "let me go!" he yelled, tears in his eyes.

the guards only held on to him tighter and brought him over to the table. eddie took one look at the straps that would keep him in place and immediately kicked the nearest guard in the nuts. "get me out of here!"

sonia came up from behind him and dug her fingernails into his cut, making him freeze.
"be a good boy, eddiebear, don't make mommy mad." she whispered in his ear, her breath smelling of mint.

eddie wrenched his arm away from her, ignoring the pain he felt as her nails pierced his skin. "DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH ME!"

sonia yelled at the guards in the room. "GET THE HEATHEN YOU BASTARDS!"
the guards moved into action, stabbing him with another syringe which immediately made him sleepy and shoving him onto the table, quickly strapping him in.

sonia huffed and fixed her hair as she watched her beloved son being restrained on an operating table. "now that's a good boy, eds."

through his tired eyes, eddie watched as sonia came closer to him, picking up his limp right arm. "surgeon get over here."

a figure standing in the corner of the room immediately was at her side.

sonia traced an outline of a box above eddies elbow. "this is where you make the incision correct?"

the man nodded.

sonia continued. "and do be careful, i bought this table with my own money and it was quite expensive. don't let too much blood get on it, got that?"

the man nodded again.

"oh, i almost forgot. make sure to give edward a good knock in the head."

the man nodded for the third time.

sonia dropped eddies arm and leaned in towards his face. "soon, you'll remember it all, eddiebear. you'll remember everything."

eddie furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to lift his arm. he'll remember? sonia was giving him back his memories? why would she do that?
sonia placed a piece of wood in between his teeth. "now, try not to scream too loud, dear."

eddie was in a world of pain. everything felt hazy and confusing. he wasn't completely asleep and he guessed sonia did that on purpose. he was only asleep enough so that he couldn't move. but he could feel. he could feel everything.

"hand me the knife" a disoriented voice said, sounding like it was from another dimension.

eddie heard objects being moved and not a second later he felt an immense pain in his right arm just above his elbow. he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't.
he couldn't move.

all he could do was feel.

he felt his skin being torn open and his veins being moved around. he felt a coldness on his cheek as a single tear fell.

eddie wanted to open his eyes and fight back. he wanted to get away from this horrible place.

eddie, can you hear me?
a voice echoed through his brain.

eddie was confused and scared. was this the doctors? did they do something to his brain?

eddie, it's elliot. can you hear me?

elliot? how can elliot be in his mind?

please, eddie. answer with a yes. just think yes and i'll be able to hear it. remember i can see and hear ghosts? i can also communicate with people through their minds. i need to know if you're alive. eddie please.

it was elliot. elliot was communicating with him through his mind. that was crazy. how was that even possible?

eddie?

i'm here.

oh my god, you heard me! thank fuck! i was worried. i met up with your friends and we have a plan to save you. we're coming for you tonight.

tonight?

yes. do you have something else planned?

i'm not sure where i'll be tonight.

what do you mean? they always keep you in the same cell, right?

they took me to surgery today. i'm in an operating room right now. i don't know what they've done to me.

oh fuck. eddie. can you escape from the room?

i can't move anything.

when i was there they never did procedures on us. that's weird.

is richie with you?

yeah, you wanna talk to him?

tell him i miss him. and tell him i'll see him soon.

okay, i relayed the message.

what did he say?

he said he misses you too and he can't wait to finally see you again. he was crying by the way i don't think he wanted you to know that.

i need to get out of here.

we're coming tonight. we're going to shut the electricity off and then go get you. if you're not in your cell, tell me. you'll be able to reach me through your mind.

okay. how do i get rid of this pain?

think of richie.

suddenly the connection seemed to break off and eddie was alone with his pain. the voices seemed to get hazier and hazier and the pain in his head got harder to bear. maybe someone hit him with something? eddie wasn't sure.
all eddie knew was that he was finally blacking out. finally getting away from the pain.
