• Chapter 4 of The Void

    In the hospital.....

    Annelise awoke feeling groggy and only seeing a blur of white colors. She couldn't remember where she was or why she was here. Wait. Where's the Void? She thought to herself as she started getting scared. Was it playing some kind of nasty trick on her? Letting her take over only to quickly take it away from her? She felt something warm touch her hand and she gasped. She looked down at her hand and followed the arm up to the owner of the hand that had scared her. Riley... Riley didn't look too well. He actually looked worried sick. "Why the heck did you try to kill yourself,Annelise?"He asked with alarm and anger. It was a weird combination on a voice that used to speak to her with so much love and comfort. She must of shown her confusion on her face because Riley suddenly softened. His eyes that had been burning with anger just a moment ago were now shining with what seemed like tears. He cupped her cheek with a warm hand and his thumb stroked her cheekbone softly. "You must of drank so much that you can't remember. You tried to kill yourself,Annelise and you were pretty damn close but we stopped you from dying,"He said and kissed her forehead with his soft lips. Annelise shook and started sobbing. She didn't remember it at all. She didn't remember the drinking or the trying to kill herself. All she remembered were a blur of many colors and images that left too soon for her to decipher what they meant. "Why?"Her voice cracked out,her throat seemed as if she had been screaming for a long time. "Why what?"Riley asked now confused. Had his face always been so readible or had she spent too much time watching the Void read people? "Why did you stop me?"She asked and quickly took a drink of water from a glass near her hoping it would help her aching throat. "Why did we stop you from what?"Riley asked even though on his face it seemed he knew exactly what she had meant. "Why did you stop me from dying?"She asked and his breath went in in a loud gasp as his hand gripped hers tightly. She wasn't crying anymore. She was serious. Why had they brought her back? Didn't they know her only wish was to die?
