“I said let me in!” I shouted, trying to push through two male nurses who blocked my way to inside the emergency room.
“Sir, please calm down. The patient is being treated by the doctor.” One of the nurses tried to calm my nerve. Under normal circumstances, I am an easily calm person, but this is Elaine we’re talking about. She’s not one to keep herself alive even if she’s told to, and I’m worried she might even be happy if she died.
“Shit…” I gritted my teeth.
While I’m still struggling, suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind me.
“What is this all about?” The voice is smooth although a bit deep. I turned around to see two figure not too far from me. One is a male—looking like he’s in his mid 20’s and is oozing with sophisticated aura although he wore a casual outfit of v-neck caramel knitwear paired with a pair of straight cut black trousers. The other one is also sophisticated like him—but more so elegant with her ashen bl

The room fell silent for a few seconds before his voice broke down the stillness. “You’re not sitting?” He turned to me. I dithered for a bit—glancing at him before I sauntered to the chair he motioned me to sit on. Because of the incident where she jumped down the building, I noticed that she got relocated to a VIP room on the first floor. Luckily the two of them came and lead the way to her new ward room. If not, I might have to spend some time looking out for her new whereabout. After sitting down, I inadvertently yawned. I looked at the digital watch installed on the wall and it displayed a huge red 12 on the black slate. “Are you sleepy?” Mister Michaelis asked the obvious. I nodded slowly as a response. I mean, of course I would. I was resting at home when I suddenly got summoned inside The Flesh and I have to fight the flesh monster in addition of heading immediately to the hospital right after I returned to the real world. Luckily I to

(Elaine’s POV) “Treasure yourself more…” A muffled voice lingered inside my mind from my ears, accompanied by a gentle touch coming from a mysterious source. Somehow I feel like I’m free from my troubles and was reborn; as if I’m an entirely different person. I also felt strangely warm and… wet? I rolled my irises, trying to rip my eyelids open but My Lord, why is it so heavy? After a few moments of me literally struggling to open my eyes, I managed to crook it open for a bit. Immediately, a blinding ray of light enters my squinted view as I frowned. I tried to accostume myself with the light, which took a few moments for me to open my eyes fully. “…Huh…?” I breathed. Where am I? I calmed down a bit when I think that I might still be inside the ward room. But, shouldn’t I be dead already? I blinked my eyes several times to figure out my surroundings. This place definitely doesn’t look at all like the he

(Elaine’s POV) (Scene after Asher and Elaine were eating their breakfast) The surrounding air feels heavy I feel like choking. After they told Asher to go home, these seven people not far from me—my aunt and my uncle, Miss Jonas and Mister Michaelis, Mister Rupert and two other people who I’m not familiar with—all of them were having a staring competition of their own. Suddenly my aunt paced beside me and grabbed my shoulders as she broke into one of her fake smiles. “Gentlemen, I told you that she needs proper care at home. You know how she is when she’s out here in the community, right?” My aunt stated, as if strengthening the fact that I’m mentally ill. One of the unknown man—a male with a wavy golden hair and short beard, his blue eyes has a glimpse of crystal icy blue in it, and his fugure towers most of the people present inside this room—glanced sliently at me. Again the room fell silent, before the other guy beside the tall guy spoke,

(Asher’s POV) I tapped impatiently on the dinner table while my mind is filled with thoughts. Once in awhile I would grunt, and my deep thinking finaly ended when I couldn’t think of any solution at all. I got up from the dinner table and sauntered to the sofa to lie down there. Back in the hospital, unexpectedly, I got to listen the real situation as to why Elaine have such high suicidal intent in the first place. “Her parents’ death weren’t the trigger to her anxiety and depression. Instead…” The flashback paused and was now added with a new image in mind about a couple of corporate entering the ward room. I’ve seen her horrified face before but it’s the first time she’s terrorized she literally became frozen stiff. My gaze then wandered to the couple. Now wonder Elaine was so terrified of them, these two corporates in front of me… doesn’t have any feeling of love at all in their eyes. “…She’s traumatized by her own uncle and aunt who took c

Ryan pulled a long face while he strutted through the hallway of the hospital, a big sized eco bag filled with containers of food dangling on his right shoulder. Under such unbearable pressure to rant, plus the surrounding that smells nothing but antiseptic which made his head spun, Ryan mumbled to himself. “First you told me you can’t go to school because you’re sick, and now you want me to bring you some food to the hospital? What am I, your mom?” His rant ended—when he arrived in the entrance of the VIP ward which Asher had told him about—replaced with a calm face he tried so hard to construct. He spent a few minutes solely staring emptily at the lavish, dark colored sliding door which separates the room from the other common ward while wondering why his friend chose such ward out of all other ward rooms. ‘Oh, right. His mother is rich, so he might receive some kind of special treatment.’ Ryan thought while pulling the door open. What met his eyes the firs

(Asher’s POV) “Oh!” A female nurse with a metal trolley in front of her exclaimed softly as she covered her mouth. “Pardon me.” Her tone sounded guilty. “No no, it’s alright.” Asher frantically squirmed on his seat, trying to put Elaine onto the bed with one hand holding the food container and the other one holding a fork. Meanwhile, Ryan is holding to dear life, making sure he didn’t die from choking because he’s trying to stifle his laugh from looking at Asher’s awkward attempt. “Give me a few moments, Miss Nurse. I’ll get up from the bed.” Asher said in a restrained voice, his eyes widened when Elaine’s head was about to slip off from his chest and fell onto the floor beside the bed. “No, it’s okay.” The nurse raised both of her hand before waving them, signaling a no. “I’ll just place the food tray here. You can wake her up later, but please do so when the food is still warm.” She informed, her hands swiftly took out a metal food tra

(Asher’s POV) I froze on my seat, trying to register the sight I just see in front of my eyes. Meanwhile, Rufus made himself comfortable by sitting in front of Ryan, even nibbling the fries which Ryan just bought for himself. Ryan chuckled and pushed the large paper packaging of fries to Rufus’s front. “I’ve read your messages. You want to know about Elaine Ozark, right?” Rufus paced his gaze between us. Ryan nodded his head, followed by me. “Okay.” He finished the fries inside his mouth first before he began. “So, what you guys wanna know about her?” “Wait.” I raised my hand a stop, my forehead creased into a look of conflict. “I didn’t hear anything about Rufus the one helping us.” I said while shooting Ryan conflicted glances. Ryan blinked his eyes a bit, before he gave me an answer. “You didn’t ask?” He’s definitely trying to defend himself, this sneaky bastard. “Wait, Ryan. You didn’t tell him that it’s me?” Now it’s Rufus

(Asher’s POV) Is that a nurse or a doctor? Maybe. But I’m pretty sure doctors and nurses won’t wear a suspicious looking top hat while utterly clad in black. I started to quicken my pace. Unfortunately, the figure noticed me and scurried away as fast as it could. Warily, I flung open the door, but not too much to produce any sound that could wake Elaine up. It’s almost 10 in the evening, and I’m not going to the hospital to get sent home again by her. For a few moments, I adjusted my eyes to the dim surrounding of the ward. At the end of the room, Elaine is snoozing on the bed, her back facing the windows. The moonlight that comes through in between the window curtains is bright, but I still couldn’t clearly see my surrounding except the area near the windows. Seeing how calm she look in her sleep, her peaceful face is enough to calm the worry I have in me, but it was only awhile when I realized there’s something on the bed table. I carefully

(Asher’s POV) “This place is…” Elaine gaped for a bit as she looked at the night sky in awe, the two of us were standing on the apartment building that acted as the witness to my first encounter with her that changed our entire life. “You remember this place, right?” I stepped beside her and glanced at every corner of the roof of the old apartment building. Now that I have seen my surroundings with clear eyes, the apartment block really looks brittle like it’s going to fall off anytime. Meanwhile, at the corner of my eyes, I saw Elaine nodded slowly, though her eyes still looking at the sky. It’s probably because of the clear sky that I am seeing Elaine’s eyes sparkled more than usual, but I couldn’t help myself from staring at her. Unwittingly, I let out a scoff. “If I didn’t jump to save you I don’t think the two of us wil be where we are right now.” Elaine turned to look at me and chuckled. “I know. I still wondered how we survived

(A few hour after Asher woke up)“Uncle Gary called me yesterday.”Elaine began, trying to break the awkward silence between her and Asher that came out of nowhere. Asher who was still in a daze flinched when she suddenly spoke, his eyes rolled to the exit door for a few minutes to register the fact that his mother just left to finish work and took the next few minutes to muster his courage to reply her.“…What?”Elaine heaved a sharp sigh. Given how he delayed his response, Elaine knew something was wrong with him, yet she refrained from asking. Despite Asher’s vital and his response is normal and all, he must have still be in shock after waking up from the coma.“My uncle called me yesterday. He asked to meet me for dinner.” Elaine stated while adjusting her knee length pleated grey skirt to cover a margin of her shin. Plus the air conditioning of this VIP ward room, the chilly weather outside didn

(Asher’s POV)It was the day after I woke up from coma. The chill from the fall season is really been getting into me lately. In spite of me telling myself I’m cold, nature’s weather is better than the coldness coming from the air conditioner of my ward. Because of that, I have been wasting the hospital’s electric bills by opening the windows and basking my face in the evening air and sunlight.“It’s so cold…” I mumbled to myself.“Of course it would.” A voice appeared from behind me, followed by the sound of a door sliding.I turned around to see Ryan and Rufus entering the ward, each of them was was holding a bag of their own.“Whoa…” I snorted, trying to not cry because honestly, I missed them two even though it’s only about a week.Ryan sighed. “I might as well apply for membership in this hospital because of how frequent I’ve been visiting

(Asher’s POV)The first emotion after I regained my consciousness and stayed dormant for a few seconds was shame. The clips of scenes when Elaine was saying the words I have said to her inside The Flesh previously haunted my mind in a repetitive cycle that I slowly mustered the strength to one of my arms just so I could cover my face in embarrassment.I was definitely shocked to hear those words. “We’re in this together.” Was the last words I said to her when we’re inside the poison region of The Flesh. If she remembers my words, doesn’t that mean she heard my confession?“No way…” I croaked, ignoring my scratchy voice from just waking up.Apparently my voice is loud enough for this deadly silent room, that Elaine was awoken even by the subtelity of my voice.She blinked her eyes as her head tilted up. Seeing as I was lying down with my eyes open, she immediately shot up and exclaimed my name.

(Elaine's POV)The two of us stopped at the side of the lake and he sat down. He waited for me to sit, before finally uttered a word in a form of random conversation.“This place looks beautiful, isn’t it?”I was absentminded for a few moments, before I agreed.“Indeed. Do you know where this place is?” I asked the oddest thing I have ever asked. It’s obvious that this is just a dream, a realistic dream at that, but most dreams felt like this one.Asher shot me an undecipherable look, his eyes looked quite empty even though the orange hue from setting sun glinted on the glassy surface. Then he stated, “This is my inner consciousness.”I thought he was talking gibberish for a second, yet the look on his face speaks the truth. He wasn’t lying.“What…” I breathed. “What are you talking about?”His facts were too hard for me to process, yet I have

(Elaine’s POV)Currently, I am in a pretty inconvenient situation. I blame my gut feeling for coaxing me to follow it’s orders, as right now I am walking through a long way of inside some woods, of somewhere I didn’t know. I just suddenly got transferred here like magic.I gave up on wondering where I am the moment these ivies and vines began moving on it’s own and attacked me. It might be just the trick of my mind, originally, but that doesn’t matter anymore if the plant literally tried to pull you back into the bushes. Only God knows how terrified I am at that time, which actually happened just a few minutes ago.Right now I am trascending through the path of the woods. With the entrance of the woods already closing behind me, there was only one way and that was to go forward. I really wondered why am I sent here when I was visiting Asher.Suddenly memories of him flashed through my mind as I trudged the gloomy path. That&r

ElaineAfter school, Elaine decided to visit Asher at the hospital. She was informed by Madam Rhea that Asher just escaped a life threatening condition—by dodging the bullet from getting straight through the heart. That being said, Asher still won’t wake up despite his condition, as if something is holding him down from coming back to life.The young girl avoided going to the hospital at first because of the fear and trauma of seeing Asher being shot like that. Even though Rose Chadwick is already as good as inside a grave, that wretched woman still managed to inflict trauma even at the end of her life. What a cunning woman.Falling in a daze, Elaine didn’t realize that she had already reached the hospital. She went out from the car and thanked the driver before telling him that she will call when she wanted to get back. After that, she entered the building with a heavy heart.‘It would be better if Ryan and Rufus is here.’ T

Unlike her surroundings which were pretty loud and chaotic; siren coming from the ambulance bellowing through the air from the distance and the paramedic doing their job, security and defense team securing the peremeter and the other spectators who were bustling into chattering among each other, Elaine felt her senses pretty numb for someone who just witnessed someone close to her being shot right in front of her eyes.Her daze lasted even until the ambulance went away. Only her guardian, Rhea Ildian’s voice managed to shook her out from daze.Elaine shot her gaze up to meet Madam Rhea’s.Despite adam Rhea asking her condition, the middle aged woman was trying haard to not show any sign’s of trauma or discomfort for this young girl who probably faced many more fears than her. Yet her feelings still spill out to reflect upon her eyes. Still, she picked

(Asher’s POV)“H-Hello?” I don’t know why I’m stuttering, probably feeling nervous now that all the tension that’s building up just because of Elaine’s case had cleared up most of the space inside my heart, I now am able to think about something else involving us.“Hey.” Elaine chirped.I then unknowingly rubbed the back of my neck as I fell silent.“Oh, sorry. Did I call at a wrong time?”“What? No, not at all. It’s just…” I pursed my lips. “Anyway, what are you doing right now?”“I just took a bath and was on the bed.”“Oh.” I chuckled. “It’s still about 8 and a half in the evening, yet people are so tired.”Elaine replied my statement with a chuckle. “No doubt about it.”The silence between us ensues.
