All I could see was the darkness all around me. There were faint noises in the background resembling voices. I tried to focus on them, but they almost seemed to fade further into the void as if trying to escape from me, but I persisted and eventually could make out the voices from a man and a woman.
"How is she doc?" The man asked.
"We did our best in repairing the most extensive damages, but to be honest with you mister Black, she shows no signs of waking in the foreseeable future. The accident caused her multiple fractures across her body. This includes a broken rib and wrist, but the one Im concerned about is the fracture on her cranium. Im sorry to say, but your daughters chances of waking up dont look good." The female doctor informed the man.
"I see.... Would you mind giving me some time with her?" Mister Black asked with something resembling a defeated sigh.
"Of course. Take your time." The doctor answered before I could hear footsteps and the door closing behind her.
A moment passed before I started to hear the mans footsteps heading towards the opposite end of the room before I heard him pick up an objekt and returning. I could hear him put the object down before I could hear a sigh escape from his lips as if he sat down.Time passed like this for a few minutes before he started to speak.
"Emma. I dont know if you can hear this, but if you can then Im sorry. Im sorry that you were in that accident. Im sorry that you suffered like that before help could arrive, but most of all, Im sorry that I couldnt be there for you and your mother. Maybe if I was there, I could have done something."
I could hear him apologising over and over while small sobs could be heard between small intervals in his words. I could soon feel his hands take mine and held them softly. I could feel him shake a bit, and after a while I felt as if I should comfort him. I kept on trying to move my hand.
"Move hand, move." I kept on saying in my head as I kept hearing him speak after composing himself.
"As I said, I dont know if you can hear me, but if you do and you wake up, just know that I really am sorry for everything. Just know that, I love you my daughter....." He said softly before slowly releasing my hand as if to leave.
I started to stress. I just had to give him a sign that I could hear him.
"Move body, MOVE DAMNIT!!" I finally yelled as my hand finally twitched.
I think he felt it, because he stopped before he fully released my hand and stood still as if it was merely his mind playing tricks on him.
"Did.. Did you just hear me?" He asked in disbelief.
I was able to move my hand again, this time with a bit more strength as to answer his question.
"Yes, yes I can hear you, but I cant respond or open my eyes. Almost as if Im still asleep." I answered in my head.
"If its really you, please press twice." He now said with excitement before I did as he asked.
I could feel his joy in this confirmation.
"Please wait a minute my dear Emma. I will get a doctor to see if you are fully awake." He said before running out of the room.
I was left alone on my bed with only my thoughts left as my company. Slowly I also started to feel a change in my memories. I started to see images of events that I knew I had no part in, but they all felt like my own memories. I could see images of a woman with green eyes and auburn colored hair standing next to a man with blue eyes and blonde hair that had a stubble on his chin. In my mind I could hear a voice saying mom and dad, so the blonde man must be the man that just left my room. The memories kept coming in before fully integrating with my previous memories. I now knew the full story.
Apparently I had been transmigrated into a new body in a new world and my current name was Emma Black. I was the only child of Victoria and John Black who ran Black studio and Black distribution. They were a pretty succesful company that dealt with movie making and distribution. We lived in Los Angeles in a pretty nice house. It also turns out that my mother and I was on a drive towards the beach on my nineteenth birthday to celebrate, but we were caught in an accident. We were hit from the side by someone going on red, causing us to end in a pretty bad shape, and from the sounds of my father, my mother hadnt made it. I only had a little bit of a problem with all of this..... I WAS A GIRL NOW? I WAS A GODDAMN GROWN MAN BEFORE ALL OF THIS.
But before I could contemplate more over all of this, I could see a blue screen appear on the inside of my eyelids and I started to read.
"Notice: Congratulations to host for having the chance at a new life. As a gift, you have received the `Entertainment system´. This system was chosen considering this world has advanced technology, but is lacking in the entertainment departement. As an additional gift, the host has been given five hundred points to be used in the system shop that will allow the host to receive new skills such as acting and directing. The points can also be exchanged for movie scripts and other such items. You can get more points by getting more famous. To activate the system, just say `system´ in your mind."
"A system huh? That could come in handy. Considering I read a lot of those novels and fan-fictions in my previous life, this was a big thing. The thing that concerns me though, is the thing that it mentioned about this place lacking entertainment, but if Im to use this system right, then I might as well be the one that fix this problem, hehe." I said to myself.
But before I had more time to figure all of this out, I heard the door open before multiple footsteps came towards my bed.
"Im serious doctor. She replied with squeesing my hand. I even asked for her to do it twice if it was actually her." I could hear my fathers voice.
"I understand mister Black, but I will have to test all of her vitals and check her brainwaves to see if there is any more activity before anything else." Another voice said, but this time it wasnt the doctor from earlier.
Just to let him see a reaction, I once again willed my hand to move a bit. It seemed to have the wanted effect, because barely a second passed before I felt a hand covered in rubber, most likely those gloves, take my hand.
"Do you really hear us miss Emma?" The doctor asked. I just pressed his hand to answer.
"This, this is remarkable." He said.
"What is?"
"The fact that she is doing this while still unconscious is something that I have never experienced in all my years as a doctor. I will check everything immediatly." He said before he hurriedly started to check all my vitals and running the numbers.
"Everything is in perfect working order. Well except her rib that was broken, but even her wrist has mended itself. If this continues, then she will be awake in no time." The doctor said.
I could hear my father sigh and thanking the gods above and slumped back in his chair.
"This is all good news, but when do you think she will gain full counsciousness?"
"By my estimations she already is awake, but something is blocking her. However, if she takes things slowly and just focuses on recovering, I believe it would take no more than a week."
"I see. You heard that? Just focus on getting better honey. I will make sure to come by and visit daily until you wake up." My father said before giving me a kiss on my forehead.
They talked for a while before it was time for them to leave. I could clearly hear them leaving before I once again focused on learning more about this world from the memories I had gotten from the real Emma.
All of the memories describe an identical world to the one I came from, just with no good movies or any other form for entertainment. Though according to the memories, most of the actors, singers and authors were alive, but things didnt go too well for them in the industry. I would have to rectify that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days passed as I looked through every bit of info that I got and had slowly began to accept the fact that this was my life now. Nothing much happened other than my dad and some of our close friends coming by, such as the friends I made in school, or the friends that I saw as family. But one thing finally happened on the fourth day of me being in this body, I felt myself ready to wake up, but I decided to wait until my father got there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time came when my dad would visit. I could hear him open the door and entering before closing the door again. It seemed that he was alone this time. He walked over to the usual spot where I knew a chair was placed. He sat down and just kept silent.
"Now is the time!" I thought to myself when I heard no sign of him going to speak.
Without dad noticing, I slowly opened my eyes, though with great effort. I managed to do it after some time, and just laid there, observing my father with his head down. I could clearly see the sign he showed of stress, most likely from all that had happened recently, with the death of his wife and his daughter in a comatose state. And to top all of that off he still had a company to run, however small it may be.
I was just looking at him, still with all the medical equipment attached, when he raised his head and his eyes met mine. I could see the tiredness he displayed in those ocean blue eyes that was looking directly into mine. Slowly tears started to form in his eyes before his hand carefully reached out to reach for my face, as if to see if this was just a dream. But seeing as his hand reached my cheek, he started to let the tears drop before hugging me. I just hugged back.
No matter who I was before, this was my life now.
