Chapter 10 - Standing

I stood there, just watching her leave the village. "what is happening anymore?" I asked myself. "lord, healing water, statues, triangle of life, talking sword, cursed forest, magical beings, an old village, my clothes, diffrent worlds, the one eyed woman, weird sickening portal, bullies wishing me luck...what more, oh ya, weird cape that doesn't want to go off, weird childish guards...just what's going on anymore?" I asked myself completely tired of what's happening. I just wanted to go home. Was that such a big problem? I sat down on the ground, with the forest behind me. i sighed. a guard came up to me. "excuse me, may you please move?" he asked me. I sighed even louder. I stood up, apologized, and walked away from the forest. I was gonna ask those childish new guards to show me around. but then I noticed, I did not remember the way back to the place I first awoke. And I neither knew what that place was. at least my voice was better. But now I'm lost. I tried to find someone that could show me around. When I found this strange woman who ran to the guard who asked me to move. "WHERE IS SHE?! I SAW HER AGAIN, ADAM! WHERE DID SHE GO?!" she asked screaming at him.

"ugh not this again, it's your imagination Mandy. stop-" before he could say a word, her eyes caught mine. I just looked silently at her. it was like she wasn't hearing anything the so called guard "Adam" was saying. it was like she stared into my soul. her face was blank. "why was she looking at me like that?" i thought to myself.

i slowly walked away feeling uncomfortable. she then pushed Adam and started walking in my direction I got terrified so I started running. she started running. I wanted to scream, what is this woman's problem?! I ran into the forest. and hid behind the tree. "I wish I had my sword.." I shook horrified of what just happened. "Hello dear" I suddenly hear. I jump back horrified and start looking around slowly. I start trembling with fear. "Don't be scared, it's me, your sword" the voice calms me down. "I never took my sword with me" I was suspicious. "well, I am a magical sword, dear." the sword answered. "I'm on the tree beside yours" the sword reveals. I look to my other tree, and there it really was. But I was a bit too late. I felt a stone hit my head. I passed out. I woke up. I heard voices. it was dark. I couldn't see anything. I could only hear. I heard the same woman I saw running after me. and....

LIONEL! I tried to move in the small bed, but my body hurt. my head hurt. I couldn't even think properly. I felt so much pain the moment I moved. I wish I never did move, now I'm in pain. I felt tears gliding to my chin, from the pain. I couldn't completely speak. "was I in a coma? did I gain brain damage?" my thoughts hurt my head 10 times more than before. I wanted to stop thinking, but I couldn't. the pain was killing me. "ugh, mandy. We have talked about this. the woman you see is just your imagination. see? that is not her." I heard the voice that sounded like Lionel say. "IT'S HER! SHE MUST BE HER!" the lady screamed back at him. the voices hurt my head, I wanted to cry. but it hurt. how hard did someone hit my head. i heard the loving voice I loved so much, "oh dear, that woman really has strength when it comes to knocking someone out! Oh my goodness, she left a huge injury on your head.." but the voice from my sword for some reason didn't hurt my head like all the other voices. "let me heal you, dear" the calming, loving voice from my sword said. I started going unconscious. i woke up to the injury all gone, I could move and think without pain. "ahhh" I let out a relaxed sigh. my eyes finally opened. the room was small, it was pretty dark and the windows were blocked by the small bed. I put my ears to the door, and tried to listen if anyone was talking or if I heard any movements.
