I soon woke to a very bright light. The entire room seemed to be spinning. this soon dissipated, and I realized that I was in a very plain bed and surrounded by various sorts of machines. Men in masks soon gathered around me and started looking at the various screens that made up the room's walls and writing things down on clipboards. I expected one of them to notice I was in the room, after a few seconds I opened my mouth to ask them where I was. No sound exited my lips. I worriedly looked around to see my face, eyes closed tight as though I was in pain despite the fact that I didn't feel anything. I looked out a window to see my parents sitting in chairs outside. They seemed heartbroken. Soon, a great wind overcame me and I was face to face with the strange man from before.
"What's going on!" I wanted to yell but remembered I couldn't as soon as my lips parted.
"So, you easily forget things, eh." The man said with a smirk on his face. The slight way he smiled forced a shiver to run up my spine. There was also something very evil in his eyes. "Well, I can't let something as heartless as forgetting go unpunished!" The man said with a scratchy tone. A dagger appeared in his hand and he shoved it my side causing my mouth to open in shock. I would have screamed if I could. The machines that littered the walls soon went crazy. Loud beeping was heard throughout the room. One of the masked men put a Defibilator on my chest and everything went fuzzy for a second. I screamed as loud as I could and light overtook me.
My eyelids released their tight grips of eachother and I saw my mom and dad on either side of me. They asked how I was doing, but I didn't care about me at the moment. "What happened," I asked through a wince. My throat was killing me. They told me that I had a heart transplant. I had suffered from a heart attack on my run and was rushed to the hospital by one of my neighbors. They said my new heart came from a man that was in a car crash the same day.
I was sent home a few days later and immediately began working on a statue for the backyard. It was a perfect replica of the statue that kept me safe in the other world, and the man that kept me safe in this one. I promised to never forget.
