I managed to clean up the mess caused by Mrs Grech, she really caused a mess, I looked at the tv that still sat on the floor where it had fell after I went flying into it.
"I really don't want to cook dinner" I looked around for the phone, I think we could order pizza, that has always been my comfort food, I needed some comfort that's for sure.
I ordered the food and continued cleaning, I felt my body become more sluggish as I cleaned, I was getting weaker and when I tried to move the solid Mrs Grech to the backyard I could barely feel my body pull on it, whats going on, I looked down and saw that I had a scratch on my side
"oh I musn't of doged one of her swings like I thought I did" I stumbled over the coffee table as I hit the ground hard it didn't hurt and my body just began to shake as the dull throb of the wound was now noticeable "how did I not notice it" I tried to unbutton my shirt, I'd need to get a new one for school this one is ruined.
I wonder when those two will get back, not soon enough I'm guessing, I looked down at my exsposed skin, I was already pale but the greying of my skin combined with the bright red blood made it more apparent then ever "I'm cold, which means that I don't have much time left before I go critical" it was a bad way of seeing things but I promised myself I wouldn't lie about what was happing, if I keep lying to myself I'll be back in that ally again.
I felt my mind start to slip, I was going die here, in a pile of my own blood, I failed Lucas, I failed everyone, I couldn't help fighting back tears as I cried out hoping begging for someone to save me, I couldn't die like this, not again. Just before I passed out I saw those crimson eyes looking back at me they brought me some warmth before it all went black.
My eyes snapped open and I was standing in a filed of black sunflowers, I felt light as if I was just made of air, this must be the after life, I looked around but all I saw was black sunflowers that stretched out as far as the horizon, nothing else was here but me and the sunflowers "is this what my afterlife will be"
"I've never seen anyone have an afterlife so boring before" I turned to see a man standing behind me, he wore black robes, his hair was the same snow white as Jack's and his eyes, they were crimson red as well "I'm not Jack if that's what you are going to ask" he wasn't wrong he looked just like Jack except he had a short beard on his face that mimicked his white hair.
"if you aren't Jack then why do look so much like him" if I was going to start anywhere it'd be the most obvious "and where am I"
"I'd say he looks more like me since his body was made to look like mine after all" the man walked closer to me "and for where you are, id say inside your mind but not just your own mind, Jacks mind too"
"Jacks mind" how could that be possible weren't I dying, that's right I must still be dying and right now I'm hallucinating to deal with the fact that I am dying
"well when he cast that spell on you that had him glance into your memories" the man continued as he began to stroll through the sunflowers, he beckoned me to follow him with his hand before he continued "though that would be the end of it if he was smart enough to close the link after opening it, untrained the continued link means nothing much then an exchange of emotions but when in states like this one can freely look into the memories of the other" he stopped at a clearing where a door manifested "after you theres something you need to see"
I walked through the door and in an instance I was in a hospital room, it looked run down and the building was mostly made of wood, it must be a really old hospital. The sounds of a woman screaming came from the room down the hall, I felt compelled to follow the sound and I walked in to see a woman in labour, she was surrounded by women in what looked to be old maid dresses form a time long forgotten.
"child birth, its an amazing thing, the creation of life, a power given to mortals" the man had appeared by my side, I was unsettled to watch the display in front of me unfold but I managed to keep watching, looking for what the man wants me to see "here he comes" the small form of a new born came out of the women, the site almost made me chuck up but then I saw the new born, his skin was sickly pale, they all were pale but he looked to be so pale he'd be transparent and the little hair he had was ghost white.
"that's Jack" he looked nothing like Jack but I could tell as if the air around me could feel and recognise him.
"yes in terms of time its been over fifteen thousand years since he was born" the man placed his hand on my should which brought us back to the filed of black sunflowers "his family rejected him and I decided to take him in forging him into an immortal"
I looked the man over "why, if he was human then why does he act as if he never ways" the man only gave me a smile before vanishing as if he was never there in the first place and I was alone again.
"Sam!" I heard my voice shouted, It sounded far away but yet it felt so close I felt like the voice would lead me out of this place so I followed it and hoped I'd wake up from this place.
