This is the third chapter and may seem rushed but it adds to the next chapters atmosphere. This is not the end. lol
Chapter 3 Them
My opened my eyes hoping that all the past days hadn’t happened. I look at the ceiling. It’s white just like mine. Maybe I am home, I think to myself. But it’s a ceiling, no true proof there. Slowly I plop my head to the side. The walls! They are green. But mine are blue. “Help!” I try to yell but it comes out as mumbling words. I hear someone walk into the room but my head is so heavy, I can’t move it. The person comes around to the side of where my head is but I can only see a white coat. It must be a doctor. “Still can’t move, hmm this needle will help that”. I feel a sharp pain in the side of my arm. “Go on move” the doctor says. I pick up my arm and wave it around. I can move. I feel a tear drop down my face. I turn my head to look at it, but it’s not clear it’s red. “Aah yes, don’t worry just a side effect from your accident” the doctor tells me. The accident, how could I have forgotten? “L...l...l...Lexis” I gasp out. “ Hmm Lexis aye, I don’t know her, maybe she was your friend before the accident, well nice seeing you Lucas” and he walked out the door. That’s my name, yet it just doesn’t fit though.

I get up from bed and notice that i am already dressed. I look around “my” room and everything is rearranged. I slowly stumble towards the door. I stagger along the walls until I end up at a doorway, were the doctor is talking with my parents. I peeked around the corner. My eyes were still a little fuzzy but I could tell that they weren’t my parents. I wanted to scream but I was still pretty weak. “What are you doing down here” the supposed father had seen me. He walked towards me and picked me up. I couldn’t struggle. He took me back to the room. It was better that way, I am safe now, and I can think.

What am I going to do? I don’t even remember what my parents look like. I lay my head back on the pillow. I heard a knock at the door. “Can we come in?” It was them, what do I do? “Yer” I slowly say. They walk beside my bed. “How are you feeling?” they ask. Like my life has been turned upside down. “Fine, I guess.” I lied. “Well this afternoon you’ll get to see your brother again, he is sooo excited” the mother says. “So you better rest up for him” with the father saying that they left, and I was left to ponder. Brother, I thought I had three, and four sisters. What the hells going on? I better sleep on it.

I hadn’t fully awakened, but I knew there was something near me. I opened my eyes. There he was, just sitting there I presume he is my brother. He was brown haired and blue eyed. Different, and I still didn’t recognise him. I would’ve recognised those eyes. “Hi I can’t believe your back, it’s been many nights since your accident” as he said the word accident he put his fingers up as quotation marks. “What accident?” I ask him. “I don’t know, Mum and Dad say they’ll tell when I’m older, but I’m already eight”. Just like my other brothers, but who were they? “So, umm, what’s your name again?” I ask. “How could you forget, it’s Adrian, but don’t forget again, or I might not forgive you” he laughs and runs off. How could I forget, what’s going on with me. “He’s a handful isn’t he” it was my parents. “We thought we better explain about the accident, after hearing you don’t remember” they came in and sat down. I can see that my mother was already about to cry.

“ Since your birth you’ve never been normal, you had a disease that made you very hypo, and you were a handful, too much for us,” as my father said this my mother ran out of the room sobbing. ,“ So me and your mother decided to try an experiment treatment, controlled coma, it was meant to make you stable, and only meant to last for four hours. But when those hours were up you didn’t wake, and now after eighteen months your awake.” He ended his speech. I all made sense now or did it.
