《Different》Chapter 5 - Weird People
Advertisement

Soro's eyes jolted open, he leaned forward from the bed in which he was laying on and tried to get up but felt a sharp pain on his body. He looked around to his left side and spotted a heart rate monitor, he then looked to the right and spotted a medicine pump, he could feel a face mask on his mouth connected to a ventilator from which he was currently breathing from. He raised his hands and removed it from his mouth along with the other pieces of equipment connected to him. One of the nurses walking passed the corridors spotted him moving around and ran up to the room he was in.
"Woah woah, what are you doing ?"
"Getting these things off me"
"Hold on just relax for a bit will you ?"
Soro placed his hands down and looked at the nurse. The nurse got a piece of paper out of her hand and stared down at it.
"What is your name ?"
"Soro....Soro Matako"
"Hmm let me see.....Ah! here it is, it says here you were found completely passed out in the Henka forest with severe injuries all over your body, can you recall anything that happened on the 7th of April ?"
"That was the day I had a field trip to the Kyanpu forest I think"
"Mhm, do you remember anything else ?"
"There was a giant hole on the road so we had to go to the Henka forest instead"
"What about on your way back from the field trip ? there is a note here saying that you disappeared while you and your classmates where heading back to the bus.
Soro's eyes widened as he turned towards the nurse.
"That's right my class! how are they doing, are any of them hurt or worse ?!?!"

"No they are in good shape, some of them had mild injuries but they've already recovered from them a while ago"
Soro smiled lightly as he turned back and looked at his hands.
"That's a relief, may I ask how they got injured ?"
"Oh right you probably don't know since you have been in a coma for so long"
"What do you mean, how long have I been here for ?"
"Hmm...let's see, so you were brought here on the 7th of April and it's currently the 15th so that's around.....8 days."
Soro instantly turned towards the nurse.
"What! I was in a coma for 8 days !?!?!"
"That's right, anyways about how they got injured, there was a strange rainfall of these blue glowing rays during that night, I think people are calling them revolt arrows or something, some of your friends got struck by them and well....let's say a miracle happened"
Soro's eyes widened in shock,he placed both his hands on his head as he started seeing various flashbacks of that night, he saw himself running as rays fell down from the sky, he then saw a flashback of one of the rays hitting him in the right eye, he started to panic and breathe heavily. The nurse ran up to him and placed the face mask on his mouth.
"Soro can you hear me !? I need you to remain calm, what you are seeing are flashbacks of the past"
Soro started to breathe lightly again and regained control of his senses. He placed his hand over the spot where his right eye would usually be, but instead he felt a eye pad dressing covering it completely.
["How did I not notice this when I woke up"]
He looked over at the nurse who was nervously checking the heart rate monitor beside him.

"It's fine...I feel better now"
She looked over at him with a relieved look on her face.
"Thank god, I thought you where about to have a total break down, I suggest you get some rest for now, I will inform the doctors of your current state and have them call any close relatives you may have"
Soro nodded and proceeded to lay down, the nurse went out of the room and proceeded through the corridor. Soro leaned over to his side as he placed his hand over the eye pad on his face.
["What does she mean by a miracle, that thing nearly killed me!"]
Soro began to hear noises of a man yelling at a nurse across his room.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN DON'T USE IT !?!"
"Sir, please calm down...."
"CALM DOWN !?! YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN I'VE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT FROM THE GODS AND NOW EVERYONE IS TELLING ME NOT TO EMBRACE IT !?!"
"Sir, we do not know the impacts it may have on your body if you use it too much"
"MY BODY IS JUST FINE AND UNLESS SOMETHING HAPPENS I'M GOING TO CONTINUE USING IT"
"Sir, we insist you..."
A loud rumble surrounded the area as if something had smashed into pieces, shortly after a scream was heard from across the room.
"AHHHHH!!"
"MOVE OUT OF MY WAY YOU DAMN SLUTS, I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT"
Soro couldn't take it anymore, he removed the face mask from his mouth and walked over to the corridor to see what was happening. He spotted a large un-ordinary male around 6'8 in front of him with his back turned, his skin was grey with some curvy edges as if the man was made from pure rock.
["What the hell is that guy ? he looks like some sort of mini golem"]
The man in front of Soro started stomping on the ground as he walked down the alleyway, each stomp would cause a heavy vibration on the ground. The man then slammed his hand on a window at the end of the alleyway and jumped out with no hesitation. Soro's eyes widened
["What the.....what floor is this ?"]
He went back into his room and opened the curtains to look out the window.
["HOLY SH*T HE JUMPED OFF THE 12TH FLOOR, IS HE EVEN ALIVE !?!"]
Soro quickly walked out of the room and went down the alleyway towards the window that was smashed, it was crowded with people curiously looking around, he managed to push through them to reach the broken window, he caught sight of the man who had fell from the 12th floor of the hospital, he was walking around in the car park perfectly fine, he also caught sight of other un-ordinary people at the car park, some where floating and others had bizzare facial and body features like the man from before. He tried to squint his left eye to see clearer but was then alerted by a familiar voice behind him.
"Is that you Soro ?"

Blind As a Bat [1st book complete]
Book 1 He was cast to the edges of his clan. His father could not stand to even look at him. His baby sister probably didn't even know he was her brother... All because he, unlike all other vampire (The correct terminology will be Wanpyrkos; van-peer-coe-s) kind, was born blind. And what do all creatures do to those that are different, those that do not fit society, those that they think should not have been born to this civilized society...? [Book Cover Made by the wonderful THEMIDNIGHTECLIPSE13] - thank you! I'm only introducing the perspective of the main character for the first part. Things change drastically soon after that. [BDSM entries are clearly marked and written so they can be skipped without affecting the story] ***A couple scenes to whet your palate*** 1. "Uh, we heal from pretty much everything and anything. Have you ever tried physically damaging your eyes to see if they would fully heal?" "N-no. No, it doesn't work," I forced out, my voice a little strangled and cracking before hardening. "And stuff like that, isn't that just wrong?! Hurting someone just to 'fix' them." 2. I leaned and he met me, our soft lips touching and moving perfectly on each other's. I felt as his tongue ran the slit of my lips, my tongue coming to graze it as it passed over, knowing doing so was like catnip to him. He leaned closer, and I shivered as his hands ran from low on my hips and grazed along and up my ribs, pulling my chest closer to his so my body arched and rubbed against him. I hummed in appreciation. [warning: so far aggressive or physical bullying and maybe a little kidnappage and sexual themes as well as possible trigger warnings]
