Comatose

Chapter 2- Blinded By the Light

I awoke again to the blinding lights of the med-bay and sighed. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I sat up in the bed. My body still felt weak, but not as bad as it did yesterday, which I was grateful for. I recalled the events from yesterday and shuddered at the thought of Kylo Ren. I had honestly thought he was going to harm me. In that moment I made a split second decision that if I were to ever encounter that-that heathen again I would give him a piece of my mind! Even though he was frightening for some reason I was not scared of him.

I don't know why he seemed like I should know him though, from what I could recall I've never met the man. Yet, as I recalled his features and voice a small part of me wanted to remember him. I shut that down real quick, I did not want anything to do with the man named Kylo Ren. He was nothing to me. All I wanted was answers and to get out of this room.

My prayers were answered when the door suddenly slid open and an older women stepped in. She was short and fairly thin with graying black hair tightly wrapped in a bun. She also wore a somewhat tight fitting white uniform that consisted of a high collared top with a red plus sign sewn on the left sleeve and long white pants that that were met with matching ankle high combat boots.

"Good morning Ms. Y/L/N! I am Doctor Remmings. How are you feeling today?" she exclaimed in chipper voice.

"Well for just waking up from a six year coma not remembering anything and coming face to face with Kylo of the Knights of asshole, I'd say I'm doing ok." I replied with a half smile.

The women let out a small chuckle.

"Yes, the Commander can be...challenging. I had hoped to let you rest a bit more before he payed you a visit. Other than your altercation how are you feeling?" she asked while rummaging around the cabinets for something.

I sighed, "I feel a lot better than I did yesterday, but I still feel weak. " pausing I added, "Do you know what happened to me?"

She turned around and walked back over to the side of my bed with a small palm sized silver packet in hand. She was quiet for a moment before she answered me.

"Your body will be weak for sometime because it hasn't been moving. You've lost a lot of your muscle while you were in the coma. Luckily for you the First Order has the most advanced medical technology available in the galaxy." she paused to opened the packet in her hands. "This is a protein and nutrient solution that will speed up the process of your recovery. You'll need to drink one a day. I warn you though the taste of it is not...pleasant."

Dr.Remmings then handed me the packet and I looked at it sheepishly. Shrugging my shoulders I brought the packet to my mouth and drained it in one gulp. The liquid inside was thick and had a grainy texture to it. The taste was worse for it tasted like vomit, and I gaged and coughed as it slid down my throat.

Dr.Remmings patted my back to help sooth my coughing. She waited until I stopped coughing before speaking once more.

"I told you it wasn't pleasant! Normally you aren't supposed to drink it like a shot!" she chuckled. Then she frowned. "Now as for what happened to you...I can't say."

"What do you mean you can't say?" I asked frustrated. I didn't understand as to why no one would tell me what happened to me.

" I mean I literally don't know what happened to you to put you in a coma for six years. When you first arrived here I didn't think you would make it. You had been slashed repeatedly with I believe to be a light saber" I tensed at the mention of a lightsaber and a dull throb started at the back of my head. "and your skull had been cracked."

I let the information sink in. What would I have been doing to get that badly injured or better yet who did it to me?! I had the sudden urge to look at my shoulder. Peeling back my hospital gown I cringed at the sight I found.  There was large deep scar that went down from my right shoulder and down my back almost reaching my tailbone. 

"We tried to heal that as best we could, but it was fairly deep, deeper than the rest of the gashes. That is the only remaining scar you have left." Dr. Remmings said. I brought my left hand up and placed on the scar. 

The sudden sounds of screams enveloped me. All I saw was fire and bodies laying around me, each one was brutally mutilated. Some missing arms or legs. I screamed when I saw a head roll in front of me. I tried to run from the massacre around me, but I couldn't move, I was stuck in place. I turned my head just in time to see a lightsaber come at me from behind striking my back.

As soon as the vision started it left and I was back in the med bay. I was sweating profusely and I struggled to breath. 

Looking panicked Dr.Remmings tried to calm me by reaching out to touch my arm. "Shh your ok, you're just remember something." 

"Do-Don't touch me!" I yelled. I scooted away from her, but her hand still reached towards my arm.

"Y/N you need to calm down." 

" I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!" I roared and thrusted my arm away from her grasp. As I did this a sudden surge of energy and power went through me. To my horror Dr. Remmings flew across the room hitting the wall behind her with a sickening thud. She fell to the floor in a crumpled heap, blood began to pool around her. 

"Shit shit shit! I-I-I'm so sorry!" I sputtered. I didn't know what I did and I panicked. 

Next thing I knew my instincts kicked in and I got up from the bed and ran. The sudden adrenaline fueling my body. I needed to get help or or do something I couldn't let Dr.Remmings just die there on the floor. I didn't know where to go or who to go to. Guilt rushed through me when the realization hit me that she could already be dead. I kept running screaming for help. I went to round a corner and came to an abrupt halt as I hit something. Falling to the ground I looked up to see a completely bewildered man above me. All I noticed was the fire red hair neatly slicked back, I didn't care to take in to notice anything else before I spoke.

"Can you please help me?! Th-There was a-accident in the me-med bay! Dr.Remmings is injured please h-el"  and then darkness over came me.
