Chapter 13- Realizing and Surprises

Chapter 13

Realizing and Surprises

    Darkness. My eyes are closed, that's why it is dark, duh. I thought to myself. I opened my eyes and rubbed them with my hands. I screamed. My hands are blue and transparent. My whole body is blue and transparent. "Help! Help! Help me!" I scream, but no one could hear me. Then a nurse ran through me. I screamed again. I'm a ghost. I'm dead. Dead.

    Is this what happens when you die? You look after and watch over your loved ones? No. I can't be dead. This must me a dream. It must. I went up to pinch myself but my hand just went through my arm. I am dead.  I thought. I am ghost. I then realized I was standing in a room. A boy with a huge gash on his leg was screaming and lying on a white cushy bed. I went over to him. I know he couldn't hear me, but I said "It's OK  I'm here. I'm Jane. Calm down. You're OK." I then touched his gash and as soon as I did, it healed. The boy stopped crying and the nurse that just came in, dropped her tray and board. "Above glory!" she exclaimed. "She's made it! Jane! She's made it!" and ran out the room. Seconds later Dave, Liam, Fred, 5 nurses, Malcom who is in a wheel chair... A wheel chair! "Malcom!" I shouted, but of course nobody heard me. Malcom also had a broken arm. Like I do. Well, I used to. And then Gloriana came in, a very tired, puffy and panda eyed Gloriana. She has been crying, a lot. Malcom also was puffy eyed. I then realized, everyone was puffy eyed from crying, except for the nurses. Then Ryan limped in. She's alive. Oh, I so wish I could just shout out and talk to my best friend, but I can't. Next, Gloriana walked over to the boy. "It has to be her." She started rubbing up and down his leg, where the gash was, with her hand. "Look at this." she whispers. She then waves for Dave to come over. "Leap'n lizards!" he says. Gloriana then speaks to the boy. "Look at this my little boy, do you see that mark?" "Yes Gloriana. I do. I do. It is a snowflake with a tiny Pegasus inside. Snow Pegasus. Snow Pegasus! That's Jane's code name in English! It really is her."
      Then Gloriana spoke to the air, she was speaking to me. "Jane, if you can hear me, then heal Malcom's broken arm. Everyone turned to Malcom. I walked over to him. I touched his arm and the cast, sling, everything disappeared. All the nurses exclaimed "Above glory!" "Yes. This is amazing. The same mark is on Malcom's arm. This is it. This it it, everybody! This is our weapon. Hell and his spies may know her number code name, but they don't know what it means in English. I can't believe it." says Gloriana. "Hip! Hip! Hurrah!" the room exclaims. I then felt faint. Dizzy. I started rocking back in forth. I fell over and whacked into a table, knocking it over. I fainted.
      "I think she fainted." Gloriana says. "She could get hurt in this second world where you go after you die. She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve to die in this world. How could you? How could you test a sketch cure on her? The most important person to Light Chesna. Our biggest chance of defeating Hell was with her alive with us in this world." Malcom shouts out. "We have gone over this so many times, Malcom. She was probably going to die anyways. We just didn't tell her. We did the surgery to see if we could keep her alive." Gloriana says in a calm voice. "But there was a chance she could have lived is we didn't do the surgery." he argues. "I know Malcom. There was a chance. We are all very upset about this." Gloriana says, trying to keep her calm voice going. "Did you send a letter to her parents? Yes, you did. You can imagine how upset they were and are. And then when her brother and her sister who is on earth found out she was dead. Imagine how they were when they found out that Jane also forgot she had siblings." Malcom shouts louder. "That was one of the reasons we tried the surgery, to bring those memories back." Gloriana says. She broke out of her calm voice and shouts at Malcom. "Do you know how upset I was when I found out she was dead? I cried myself to sleep. I prayed for the first time. I didn't eat for a day, I just cried for a whole day. She was like a daughter to me! And she died. I loved her like she was my own..." and then she started crying.
      I woke up just as I heard the last lines Gloriana said. I was touched and then I felt like I was about to cry. I never knew she cared for me so much... "Do you know how I felt!? I don't think you know how I felt. I cried so much when she died. We were supposed to be a pair of spieries together. I remember the first time I saw her, the first time she came to Chesna. I thought she was so cool, but I never met her until I came back to Chesna, to send information to Hell at age 17! And I first saw he at 6! That's 11 years! When I found out she hated me and didn't want to work with me in the Top Spy Depart because of gluing the earpiece to her ear, that helped me realize what I was doing was all wrong. When Hell gave me two options, die or help him, of course I said I'd help him because I was selfish, a coward and didn't want to die. So when I turned on the spies I was working with and saved her I told her everything because I couldn't hold it in for any longer. And then I found out we would work together and she was leaning toward being my friend and we could get to know each other, I was so happy. Next, before I knew it we were both in hospital. She was seriously injured. I found out, next, that she might die. She was my only real friend because I think she let me in because she realized that I had realized that what in the past was wrong and that I wanted to change, to be better. I went to sleep that night and was woken by a huge commotion and was put in a wheelchair and taken to a service for her! When I found out Jane was dead, I was devastated. I loved her. Do you understand how I feel know?" he finishes with a sigh.
      He loved me. He remembered the first time he saw me. I was so mean to him and all he was, was a confused sole. He just needed help. And I rejected him at first and he looked up to me to help him. And then  as he said, when I realized he needed help and that he had realized that what he was doing was wrong I did try to be more friendly. I can't believe he loved me.
      Wow, I didn't realize so many people cared about me, loved me. But if Gloriana loved me, why does she want to use me as a weapon against Hell? Why can't I ever have a peaceful life? Who knew I wouldn't even be able to have a peaceful afterlife? Surprise, Surprise.

Chapter 12

Last Light

     "Where's Ryan?" I ask Gloriana. "Um, uh..." Gloriana stumbles. I have never heard Gloriana stumble before. "Where is she?" I say softly. "I don't know." she chokes out and starts crying. I have never seen her cry before. "Gloriana, it's OK. Why does this make you so upset?" "It's just," she stumbles. "I feel like I'm letting my people down. 3 people have disappeared from Light Chesna or, or..." she stumbles again. "been captured or taken somewhere in the Halo with Hell's spies and being tortured because Hell wants his spies to get information and secrets about Light Chesna and bring them to him." Gloriana straightens up and I look her in the eye and say, "You are not letting your people down. You are the best Queen. Don't ever forget that. So, do you think that is what is happened or is happening to Ryan?" "Yes."

       "I have to go looking for her!" I scream and sit up. "She is my best friend!" "You can't Jane. And please Jane lie back down! You need to rest! I don't want you to hurt yourself more. Please Jane! Your hurt and still recovering! Lie down!" I lay back down. "It doesn't hurt to sit up." I protest. "That's because your on pain killers." Gloriana replies. "When will I be up and running again?" I ask after a short silence. Gloriana looks at me blankly and then she turns to the doctor who just walked in. "Doctor, when will Jane be up and running again? And when will she be able to do her normal stuff, like aerials and back flips? You know we need her to have a fast recovery and get going in the spy department, as well as Malcom. They need to be my top pair of spireries..." "Wait!" I interrupt. "What are spireries?" "A spiery is a pair of spies that work together in the top spy department." She then turned back to the doctor. "Doctor, what is your answer? Oh and doctor, did you not recover her whole memory?" "Um.. I think she will be up in running in about three and a half weeks. And  my answer to your second question is, um, well, that is why I came in here. To tell you that we did not recover 2 things. The first one is facts about the top spy department." He then lowered his voice to a whisper. "The second is she doesn't remember her brother and sister." I stood starstruck for a moment and then started shouting. "Wait! I have a brother and sister? That can't be true. I don't have siblings." There were glances exchanged and then Gloriana sighed. "Why can't you get these memories back? There two very big ones." "Gloriana," Doctor sighed. "We talked about this before we even started the first surgery. Memories, facts or people she haven't thought of for a long time or haven't been really part of yet, like the Top Spy Depart, are really hard memories to bring back. Only a 2 days ago did the doctor scientist come up with a sketch cure. We haven't even tested this cure. If something were to go wrong, her condition could get even worse..." "But I need her up and running in a week! Working in the Top Spy Depart. Now, Doctor, I need you to get her better in the next 2 weeks, preferably 1 week, but that's pushing it. You will do what ever you can to get her better. And have the doctor scientist ever been wrong in the last 14 cures they have come up with?" Doctor shakes his head no. "I didn't think so..."
      I have never heard Gloriana so, so... sassy. I thought. My thoughts broke away when Doctor started calling my name. "Yes?" I said. "We are going to test this cure on you, OK?" he says. "But what if it goes wrong?" "I'm taking my chances. We need to do what ever we can to get you better, quicker. We are also going to do another procedure. This one has been tested multiple times. This procedure with help your body not get blotchy and red once your off the pain killers. It will also help your bruises get better faster and just in general, it will help your body recover faster." I then realized that I had missed a whole conversation between Doctor and Gloriana as I saw Doctor exchange a worried glance with Gloriana as she exchanged a 'do it' glance with him. Gloriana then looked at me, came over to me and stroked my head, just like the way my mother did when I was little. "You will be up in no time, sweetie." She then forced out a weak smile and then I realized something. She was worried too, I saw it in her eyes. She was also scared that this surgery might not turn out well. Was I supposed to be worried?
       I turned to Doctor. "Doctor, your putting me to sleep, right?" "Of course!" he shouted. "We always do." His voice was calm and soothing. I then heard Gloriana walk out the room as Doctor wheeled me into the Snow Surgery room. Did I have my own surgery room? Then thoughts rushed into my head. What if this surgery doesn't work out? What if it goes totally wrong? What would happen to me? I then felt a needle in my arm and knew I would fall asleep in seconds. Then one last question swirled in my head as I started to fall asleep.

If the surgery goes wrong, will I ever wake up again?

       I tipped my chin up to look at the lights, to just catch one glimpse of lights, lights I might never see again as I was pulled into a deep, deep sleep. A deep, deep sleep of which I may never awaken.

Chapter 11- So many thoughts

Chapter 11

So many thoughts

     A soothing voice talked to me. "It's OK. It's Gloriana. Your safe." She kept repeating these words, over and over again. I blinked and opened my eyes. I was in a white room. The whole room was covered in a white material. It looked like bomb-proof material. There were no tables, but then I saw a nurse place her hand on the wall and then a drawer popped out of the wall with 1 needle, a glass of water, and a star shaped cookie. I looked at her and said "Hello." "Hello, sweetie. How are you feeling?" she replied. "OK. Do you remember me?" "Yes. I remember." "Were you attacked by men in black?" "I don't know. What do you mean men in black?" Gloriana then sighed and said to the nurse "Go on then." Gloriana then stood up and walked out the room. The next thing I knew, I had a needle in my arm, and fell asleep. 

    I woke up, once again as Gloriana walked into the room. She sat down and said "What is your name?" "Jane." "Were you attacked by men in black?" Then the flash back began. It didn't seem that scary when it was actually happening, but watching it all over again was scary. "Jane, Jane!" Gloriana shouted. "Are you OK?" "I'm OK. Can I sit up?" "No!" Gloriana replied, worried I would sit up before she even answered. "You badly fractured your back, have a concussion, and broke your arm." "What?" I shouted. "That can't be true. It can't be true!" "I'm sorry, sweetie." "You should be. Why didn't you come looking for me earlier? Like when I was 30 minutes late? You should have known something was wrong. I have never been later than 15 minutes to IM." "Why did you run away from your guards? Why did you not come straight to IM?" she questioned me. I sighed. "The truth is, I'm not really sure. It is not like I don't remember, though. I guess I was mad that Malcom got Dave. I wasn't thinking straight. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was muddled. I did things I normally wouldn't do." There was a long silence before I broke it with a question.

      "Wait, how did I break my arm and fracture my back?" "Well, Malcom knocked down the guy who was whacking you in the head. Malcom thought that he had knocked the guy out, but he hadn't. The guy was only pretending to be knocked out. So, when Malcom was coming over to you..." "That's when I blacked out. When Malcom was coming over to me." I interrupted. "As I was saying, when Malcom was coming over to you, the guy jumped up and knocked Malcom down and before Malcom could get back up the guy jumped on your arm and kicked you in the head. Next, he picked you up and started running, but before he could get far Dave caught up with him. They stood face to face. They started fighting, the man still holding you and then Dave said "Give me her or I will end you." "You'll end me no matter what happens." the man replied. Then, without a moment's notice he threw you to the side causing you to fracture your back." "Wow." I replied. "Finally Dave ended him." Gloriana said nonchalantly. "What happened next?" "Well, then our spies and fighters took the two men away and you were rushed to the hospital. We had to due some quite a few surgeries to get all of your memory back from the concussion. Also you broke your arm and did something else to it, so, we had to do surgery on your arm too. We were lucky you had your back brace on when he threw you or you would have fractured many places. We think you fractured your back because you already had very bad bruising and then the force of the throw just made a fracture." "Gloriana, let me get this straight. You did surgeries to get my memory back? How is that possible." "Well, our scientist doctors came up with a cure a couple weeks ago." she said. "Wow, your technology and cures are way ahead of the ones on earth." I mumbled. I then thought of Malcom.

         "Where's Malcom? What happened to Malcom?" " Gloriana pointed to the wall. "He is in the room next door. He has a bad concussion and had to have surgery on his knee." she said sadly. Almost the way siblings are upset because their brothers or sisters are extremely ill. "And what happened to Liam and Fred?" "They were fine. They were only whipped, so once they got healed, they were fine and are back in work now." And then the thought hit me. What happened to Ryan?

Chapter 10- Blacking out comes my way, too often

Chapter 10

Blacking out comes my way, too often

   Even though I didn't know what it was I clung onto it for dear life. I didn't want to whack into railing. I then reached up my other hand and grabbed on. I then looked up and saw a rope, but a smooth one. And when you held onto it it had something in the smooth rope that helped you get a better grip. I then started brainstorming ideas, as I couldn't just let go as I was positioned right above the middle of the spiraling staircase, just to the outside of the railing. Wait, Wait!... If I was hanging onto a rope above me and I was to the outside of the railing, how could I be holding onto something above me. I looked up again. This rope, was just floating in mid air, but stuck in mid air. When I tried to yank on it and tug on it, it wouldn't budge.
    In mid air... In mid air I thought. How is this possible? I then listened to the sounds around me. The boys were almost 2 more spirals up. How did they not see me?... I thought. I looked around me, looking at my surroundings. There was a mirror, the staircase, obviously, the boys... The mirror! I adjusted my head, still holding onto the rope, and stared into the mirror. All of my surroundings were there, but I wasn't showing up in the mirror. I'm invisible! That was why the boys didn't see me. I was thinking that, probably, as long as I held onto the rope, I would be invisible, but when I let go, I would appear.
   Even though the rope helped my keep a grip with my hands, my arms were getting really tired. I need to find a way to get back onto the staircase. I looked up at my hand and pulled myself up, level with wrists. I looked at my watch. I was 35 minutes late to IM. People will probably come looking for me soon. I then thought of an idea and thought to myself, Duh!... I just start swaying and then let go when I was tilted into the staircase platform and let go from the rope. Easy. I might scrape my hands, but that is better than just hanging here... OK then. 1, 2, 3,... I was about to jump when suddenly, something clasped onto my hand, squeezing it so tightly, my hand started to turn purple. Trying not to cry, I looked up and saw a stone hand. What in the world? I thought. Then the stone hand started to crumble. I then did my original plan and landed on the staircase platform with a quiet thud. I then started running down a couple flights of stairs and then came to an elevator  I pressed the up button, stood to the side of it, to make sure no one would see me if there was someone in there... Ugh, Oh, I thought as two boys came out the elevators, the ones that were looking for me. I slid round the corner of the elevator box. I then remembered I still am wearing my back brace. How I didn't remember earlier, I'll never know.
      8 minutes passed, as the boys talked and talked. I then thought, why do I not want to be found? They could have just taken me to IM and I would not have been almost 45 minutes late to IM. Why did I run away from them the first time? Was it because I was mad that Dave wasn't my bodyguard anymore? Gloriana is going to kill me, no, wait. Gloriana doesn't get angry and is the sweetest, most understanding person you will ever meet. And it isn't safe for me to be out here alone if a spy is around and could just jump out and kill me. Now, that's the person who would kill me. 
      My thoughts were interrupted by a loud sound. A crashing, fighting, shouting noise. I peered round the corner to see what was happening. Two men in black were fighting Liam and Fred. I had to do something. I spun back round when Liam and Fred were facing my way and the men in black, the other way. I could sneak up on the spies and hit their pressure points as Kaka taught me, but by the time I did one, the other would be trying to kill me. I looked round the corner and Liam caught my eye. At that moment on of the men in black brought Liam down and started shouting at him. "Where is she? Where is the Snow Pegasus? Huh?" Liam didn't answer. The other man in black then got Fred and started questioning him. "Where is Snow Pegasus? You know, don't you?" Fred then caught my eye. His eye was full of bravery and courage. He wasn't going to tell a sole, that I was right behind them. I turned my focus to Liam. His eyes are full fright and mad. I knew I had to do something, but I couldn't. My back brace restrained me from doing advanced moves to even little beginner moves. I wanted to rip my back brace off, but I couldn't reach the 8 straps that attached it to my back. The doctor also said for two weeks I can't do any training, or fighting, or anything. I told myself, back in the hospital, I was going to actually do what he said, but I wasn't expecting this and I'm sure my doctor wasn't expecting this either. This is all my fault. If I had just gone to IM, this wouldn't have happened. I had to do something. These guys are in danger of dying because of me. At this thought I jumped out and said "Looking for me?" The men in black whirled around. The one closer to me shouted to the other and said "Hold on to these guys. I'll get her." He ran toward me about to punch me in the head, when I hit 2 of his pressure points, 3, 4, 5 pressure points and he fell to the ground. I turned to the other man. I realized that the men in black had been whipping my bodyguards. The man then shoved Liam and Fred to the side. He stared at me for a very long time and then ran. He must have realized I had a back brace and came at me from an angle I couldn't pressure point him. He was about to knock me to my feet when I thought, I am going to be dead if I don't do some real moves or fighting. 
       So, as he swung his leg at mine, I did a back flip. Sorry doctor, I never real follow the rules. I was expecting this to hurt my back a ton, but it didn't. I stood face to face with my opponent. He grabbed me by the arms and said "You're a clever one, aren't you?" As he said this he brought me down to the ground, on my knees. My back, now, to painful to do anything. His hand came fast toward my head, as I heard footsteps and shouts. The man though didn't hesitate punching, and his hand came whamming into my head. I knew I had a couple seconds until I would black out. I felt another punch, harder this time come colliding into my head again and again. I had two seconds left of light, when a figure came running up the stairs. He did a flip and knocked the man to the ground. It was Malcom. The guy he had knocked to the ground was unconscious. He then came rushing to me shouting my name, as Dave, Gloriana, Gloriana's bodyguards, the Importants, Light Chesna spies and fighters came toward me, as I blacked out.
