I Dreamt of Hope

Chapter 5

I felt a touch on my arm, it wasn't like that soft touch I had felt earlier where I felt safe his was hard, course. This was going to pain me more than I would know. As I felt him reach under my back to pick me up I used all my strength to spring up and turn enough so my hand with the scissors could reach over my body into his. I had forgotten all about how dark it actually seemed in that room I knew I hit my mark but I knew there still was another person with me. My guard was up.

 "You always were a clever one," it told me.

 I didn't even care to respond.

 "Do you know who you are?" It asked I could tell it was trying to confuse me as that thought echoed through my head. He chuckled. "That's okay, you don't need to speak, just listen... Project 2J50Y."

 I was stunned, I had to stop and think what that meant, what's project 2J50Y? I think I also knew the consequences if I stopped to think. 

"Sweet dreams," 

Is the last thing I heard before a searing pain rushed up to my arm and seemed to extend to my face, it burned but it wasn't a hot pain but a smooth flowing pain that seemed to want to rock me to sleep. And so into the deep commanding sleep, I fell.

I woke up once again in a hospital bed but something was different. My eyes were opened but I still saw black as if something was blocking the world from me. I reached my hand up to feel around my eyes but my hand only moved an inch they seemed to be stapped to the bed, along with my legs. Then I listened, I didn't even realize the beeping was playing that annoying song once again. I moved my head knowing I still wouldn't be able to see I wanted to make sure. I heard footsteps slowly walking into whatever room I was in. 

"Are you awake?" An unrecognized voice asked. 

I laid stiff it's not like I was going to answer.

 "You don't have to speak just nod, otherwise this could be very painful if you are awake" 

I had two options, take the pain or try to get by without anymore. My head went to nod, but I stopped myself. I don't know why, but I seemed to want to welcome the pain.

 "I will ask you one more time... Are you awake?" 

My body froze, I started to sweat. I wasn't going to nod, even if tried that road seemed to have been burned.

 "Alright. Doctors, come in. We are ready." The voice said.

 My bed was raised up, I could tell I was now in an upright sitting position. My torso also stapped in. Something cold touched my head and on the other side, something else touched, all a sudden my head felt like something was being ready to be placed on it.
