Everything was cool and felt unreal. His senses were all shutdown and to make it all worse he found himself in a black river drowning, going down and down with no one to help him out. It went on for how long????, he doesn't know.
'is this how death feels like... Being cool and feeling lost. Am I really dead' these were the questions he kept asking himself as time flew by.
Just when he thought this was going to be in this river drowning with no one to help him, he heard voices..... These voices sounded out worldly, like it was a God talking. It echoes all around him causing the water to rumble.
"is this God finally going to make judgement on me????" he asked himself.
But just when he thought it was his time to be judged the voices went silent in an instant.
Then a familiar voice called his name from the waters.... "Dan, my dear son it isn't your time yet so we can't be together" the man spoke while he moved his hands and placed them on Dan's cheeks before he continued his words "you have a life ahead of you that you must live, being with me will only make your journey end".
With these words he still couldn't speak only listening to what his father was saying and feeling the familiar warmth that follows, the warmth he had seek for these past three years, this warmth he craved even at his dieing state. It was all he needed.
"wake up"
"wake up" he sounded again before his presence disappearing into the void.
"dad!!!!!" he yelled before waking up with tear falling down his face.
"hey..... You are finally awake" Dan heard an unfamiliar voice close to him. It was then he noticed a man in his late thirties sitting close to him with a fine fashioned suit that fitted him perfectly. He had a fine neat dark hair that made him look more handsome with a magazine in his hand sitting in a metallic chair, with a smile on his face.
"where am I" he asked the man sitting close to him, taking in the unfamiliar room he was in.
"you are in an hospital as you can see..." the man said simply
Looking at his hand he found out that the strange man was right. He really was in an hospital.
"so how are you feeling, are you OK... Any pain anywhere, do you feel like vomiting or dizzy" he asked trying to touch Dan's forehead.
But the young kid shifted his head away from the older man feeling scared. He still didn't answer the questions said to him.
"am sorry if I scared you but I was just concerned about you after all it was my car the hit you. Am sorry" the man apologised with his head down.
'hmm what is he talking about...' he thought but just when he wanted to ask the man what he was saying he felt a sharp pain as images started flooding through his mind.
He remembered his mom, the blood, the weapon that had blood all over it, he remembered running away, falling down by a dumpster and getting hit by a car... And most of all he remembered dieing, but here he was now all looking alive and well. Still living in this world that wanted him dead.
"why... Why, why, why.... Why would you save me, you should have let me die and live this world to be with my father" these were the words that fell out of his mouth after those images flooded his subconscious.
The man next to him felt confused by these words.....' This shouldn't be words for a little boy his age' he thought still calculating the boy's expression and emotions.
"why..... Why wouldn't you let me die in peace, you had to interfere right???" Dan said now crying as he looked at the man next to him.
"little boy am sorry if saving you was not what you wanted but, I just can't live you knowing my car hit knocked you down" the man said sincerely.
It was then he remembered he was being chased behind "I need to get out of here, she may come after me"
"and who are you talking about little boy" the man asked.
Dan paused before keeping quiet he was too scared in telling the man about his mother 'I don't know who he is telling him about mom might be a mistake or worse he might take me home to her' he thought.
"OK I might be scary to you but am a good guy and sorry for not introducing myself to you I am Richard lock-wood and what's your name little guy" Richard asked smiling softly at Dan.
"my name is Dan... Dan Miller and am not a little boy am fifteen" he said slightly annoyed with the little guy nickname.
Richard was far surprised by this statement "you're... Fifteen" he sounded in disbelief.
"yes I am fifteen or has bees taken over your ears that made you not hear me clearly" Dan was now pissed
"no am just surprised because your body doesn't fit your age at all" Richard said.
Dan take a look at his body and really Richard was telling the truth he was too short and malnutrition for someone who was fifteen years old
But he just kept quiet cause it was the abuse from his mother that made him this way for the past three years of his life.
"oh am sorry if I said anything hurtful" but there was no answer from Dan at that moment "and I got to go I need to be at work now see you when I get back" still no reply only starring from the Dan.
"be sure to eat and drink water and nutritional things the hospital would give you after all you were taken to one of the best hospitals in all of Canada" and with that Richard got up walking to the door before he said "and maybe later we have a real discussion later" and he was out the door locking it behind him as he passed through.
"am I free.... Is he a good person to trust" he asked himself these questions.
He didn't have strength to sit up on the bed he laid back down on the bed feeling worried and uneasy.
Richard walked out the hospital and immediately the smile on his face turns dark. He looked angry at something or at someone. He walked to his car and entered it, sitting down with his hands crossed.
"check on the background of Dan... Dan Miller and report back to me and I need it before the end of the day. Do I make my self clear" he said talking to someone in the back seat sitting with him at the back passenger sit.
"yes sir... I will get to it then" the strange man said before coming down from the car, walking away from the parking space.
Richard just wasn't in a good mood "I wonder what happened to they kid to make him run away from home or wanting to die..... He has totally given up on life".
The car drove out from the hospital premises slowly making it's way to Richard's office.
"but I thank goodness that he was alive that's all that matters now" he said to himself looking quite relieved.
