I was lying down on a stretcher limped like a ragdoll in some video games. Everything was so blurry for me and i can only see the flickering lights and the white ceiling.
I hear someone calling out for me, a familiar voice calling out my name. I can tell that person's emotion by just listening to how they deliver their words.
"Aaron! Stay with me man!"
The familiar voice sounded so desperate yet hopeful, I can't clearly see anything. Everything is so blurry it's like I'm starring at a wet window.
Their voice echoes like I'm standing in the middle of an empty hallway.
"His heart rate is erratic, doctor!"
"Give me the numbers! Nurse!"
"It's... it's 180 and dropping rapidly. We need to move now!"
"Keep monitoring. Let's get him to the ER, stat!"
Everything went dark, I'm standing alone in the middle of this void. Staring at the nothingness, so this is death huh?
I slowly closed my eyes feeling the nothingness of this place when suddenly a female voice echoed somewhere inside this void.
"I must say I'm really impressed by your confidence."
Said the female voice echoing around in this void.
"W-who are you!?"
"Isn't my voice familiar to you? Perhaps you've already forgotten my voice."
"I'm good at memorizing things. Why don't you show me your face!?"
I yelled to her.
"But how come can't you memorize this voice?, Aaron." She chuckled.
"H-how did you-?"
"How did i know?" She replied with another chuckle.
"Y-yeah."
"I don't wanna answer that but I'm gonna give you a obvious hint and a reward at the same time, i must thank you for that Chicken and gravy and the room you let me sleep in."
My eyes were widened and surprised at her statement, it made me realize who's this strange girl speaking to me.
"R-roxanne?" I stuttered saying her name.
"Yeyyy! You remembered!" She replied, souding excited.
"W-what the hell are you doing here and what's with this shi-"
I suddenly remembered anything that time.
"T-that blonde man! That bastard."
"Sermon?"
"S-sermon? T-that's his name?"
"Indeed, Sermon is a half angel, half human who hunts demons and anomalies."
"D-demons, anomalies?, wait a minute don't fucking tell me that-"
"Yep he's hunting me because I'm a demon? Now you're gonna be shocked right?"
"OFCOURSE I'M SHOCKED! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT TO THAT!?" I yelled.
Everything went quiet after i screamed, it was kinda awkward and confusing at the same time.
"So? How am i going to get out of here?"
"Hmm? Easy!, i just need to get inside your body and you're alive again." She explained, straightly.
"Like possessing me?"
"Indeed."
Floating in the void, there's nothing but darkness and silence, just a never-ending chill. Time seems like it's standing still, and I'm lost in the emptiness, not even sure if i exist anymore.
Then, out of nowhere, there's this faint beep. At first, it's like a whisper, barely there. But it keeps getting louder, more insistent, like it's calling me back from wherever i drifted off to.
"Time is running out Aaron, don't tell your friend Alex about this or he'll get involved too."
"W-wait what do you mean-?, wait a sec-!"
"It begins, Aaron!"
The beeping is now in full swing, going wild like a car alarm. It's the sound of a heart monitor, reminding me that I'm still kicking, still part of the living world. And as i slowly come to, i realized I'm lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by chaos and noise.
With a groan, i opened my eyes, blinking against the harsh lights. The beeping is loud and clear now, echoing through the room like a drumbeat. And in that moment, i know I'm back among the living, whether i like it or not.
"D-doctor!, he's awake!" Yells the nurse rushing towards the door leading to the hallway.
"W-where am i?" I asked in a low distinct voice, confused.
"You're in the hospital sir, everything's gonna be fine as long as y-"
"AARON!" Yells Alex rushing towarda me with his tears running down on his cheeks.
She jumped onto me, landing in a dramatical way with his knee hitting my member.
"AAAHHHH!!"
The doctor had finally rushed to my room and stopping Alex including the nurses.
"Aaron! I thought I'd fucking lost you man! I hope you're feeling good" Said Alex, dramatically wailing.
My teeth were clenching in this kind of devastating pain. (Dramatic)
"N-not w-with your knees pressing against my SAUSAGE!!!"
Alex looked down his knees and snapped back to reality.
"Oh shit my bad."
He finally took off his knees out my member, i sighed out of relief as i closed my eyes. This is way more worse than that sermon guy did to me.
"How are you feeling sir?" The nurse asked me in a nice tone with her warm smile.
"I-im fine, Miss Nurse uhmm..."
"Well I'm glad to hear that sir." The nurse replied, smiling warmly.
Alex and me smiled at each other, feeling a sense of relief when suddenly.
"Your hospital bills costs thirty thou-"
"WE KNOW THAT ALREADY!" Alex and me, dramatically yelled.
Later outside we were walking at the streets, staring at the setting sun and listening to the calm waves of the sea.
"Sorry for letting you share with the hospital bill, i just can't really afford it." I said.
"Nah it's all good man."
"Is there anyway i could somehow repay you?"
Alex chin stroked and thinks.
"Well....you could fix the bug in my code project and you're already paid." He replied, smiling awkwardly.
"You really never do your projects huh?"
"Well it's kinda tiring though, you can't blame me."
"Yeah.....by the way, how's Roxanne?" I asked.
"Roxanne?" Replied Alex, Confused and raising a single eyebrow.
I went silent for a bit. "T-the girl we helped last night?"
"Dude what the hell are you talking about?, last night we went to a convenience store and bought drinks."
I was about to tell him about my dream when suddenly i remembered what Roxanne told me earlier. "don't tell your friend Alex about this or he'll get involved too."
Involved in where a-and why the hell Alex cant remember her. What the hell is going on?
"Hey bro, is everything good?" Alex asked, concerned feeling the sense of worriness.
"N-nothing maybe that accident was driving me crazy huh?" I just laughed.
Alex laughed too, but how come he can't remember anything last night? I-is the angels and demon stuffs are true?
Later, i finally arrived at my apartment and waved goodbye to Alex as he walks away. I went to my room and saw the door was fully fixed again.
Feeling the sense of relief, i quickly opened the door and went inside. Now I'm gonna pay for the door. As i was about to enter the living room, my eyes widened once again after seeing the blonde man in a white priest suit named Sermon was sitting on the couch, chillin like he owns the house.
"Oh?, You're back, I'm just so glad that you're still alive today after piercing your heart. But before you say something let me speak first, no one can really survive that attack you know?, Just imagine that piercing a long katana penetrating your chest until the blade comes out in your back. How the hell did you survived that?"
"It's called luck." I replied with narrowed eyes.
"Luck? Ohh too bad but guess again!, i can literally sense a demonic aura in you. How does it feel?, did Roxanne possessed you?"
He knows!, but i must keep my composure and remain calm.
"I have no idea on what you're talking about, please....leave my house and no one gets hurt." I pointed to the entrance door.
"Wow....threatening, but i must tell you that I won't leave her, did your parents taught you how to handle visitors, firstly you respect them and second of all you sit beside them and have a little chat, talking with a topic that Roxanne is currently inside you."
"You already killed her okay? Just leave me alone and I won't help people again if that's what you want." I said as i started sweating a little bit.
"I never said anything like that Aaron, let's just say that you've got involved yourself into some supernatural businesses."
Sermon stood up and turns to me smirking. "I'm not expecting for a fight or anything alright?, I'm just trying to be helpful Aaron. I'm trying to be a somewhat called a Business Consultant in the business that you're currently in."
I crossed my arms and remained my narrowed eyes. "You're saying that?"
"With Roxanne inside you, you're currently involved in her problems. Which means more and more hunters will find you. Just imagine I'm literally sensing that you have demonic aura inside so stop pretending that you don't know anything. Those hunters will kill you but I'm not gonna be that hunter."
"Then what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came here to make a deal with you." He said, straight to the point.
"A deal on what?"
"Where i ensure your safety since a lot of hunters will come and hunt towards you haha! Remember that you're currently a prey in the eyes of every predators. We work as a team bringing demons back to their place while me and Mister Hendrick ensure your safety."
I narrowed my eyes again and think about this commitment.
Sermon faces away and walked towards a corner. "I'm telling ya, I'll be back tommorow and wait for your answer, Aaron." He smirks.
Then he dissapeared in a blink of an eye, i sighed out of relief and leaned my back against the wall. "Supernatural?"
-Flashback.
I remembered what Roxanne told me earlier.
"Indeed, Sermon is a half angel, half human who hunts demons and anomalies. I just need to get inside your body and you're alive again."
-End of flashback.
"She did really possessed me huh?" I muttered to myself.
I spreaded my hands and stared at it.
"W-what the hell is going on?, i-i dont understand."
