《Envy》Prologue: Treatment

Advertisement

Darkness is all I remember, I don't know how long I was surrounded by this darkness, but wait. Who am I?

“Patient is waking up, all readings are stable” I heard a feminine voice.

Patient? Am I sick or something?

As I regained my consciousness and my senses started coming back to me, I tried moving my hands, but with my current strength I could only move my fingers.

“Give her a while she's been in coma for 1 year.” Said another voice, this time it was more masculine.

Coma? 1 Year? What are they talking about?

I finally managed to open my eyes, what I saw was me laying on a hospital bed in some sort of room filled with strange machines which purpose I wasn't sure of. A woman in a nurse outfit was leaning over me. She had long black hair and wore glasses matching her black eyes. There was a handsome man standing behind her, he had grayish hair and wore a lab coat. When nurse noticed that I have opened my eyes She took some sort of small flashlight and shone into my eyes, while holding my eyelids open.

So I guess he is a doctor and she is a nurse.

“Reaction to light seems normal” Said nurse.

“Miss, do you remember your name?” Said doctor.

“No, honestly I can't remember anything.” I answered.

“It is as I have feared, the brain damage she'd suffered caused a total amnesia” I somehow managed to hear it, even though he murmured it to himself.

Brain damage? What's happened to me? What is this anxious feeling I'm having?

“Excuse me, but where am I and what's happened to me?”

“Relax. You are in medCORP's research facility. Because of an accident that happened your body was found in a terrible state, but thanks to our experimental treatment you've almost fully recovered.” Doctor reassured me.

I wonder what do they mean by experimental treatment.

“What kind of experimental treatment and what has happened to me that I had to undergo this treatment?”

“Well, you've been injected with small machines called nanites, their purpose was to rebuild your body, based on your DNA. And I must say they've done a pretty good job.” He said.

“INTERFACE INITIALIZATION 10% COMPLETE.” I heard a strange artificial voice resounding in my head.

“W-What? Did you hear that?” I asked confused.

“Hear What?” Asked nurse.

“Ahh... nothing... Never mind I thought that I heard something” I answered.

“It's understandable, after waking from 1 year coma everyone would be confused.” Said nurse.

“Yeah, but what about my condition before you've injected me with those nanites?” I asked again.

“Are you sure that you want to see that? It's not a very pleasant view” Said doctor.

“Yes, I'm sure. I want to see how grave was my condition before I came here” I said with resolve in my voice.

After my confirmation, the doctor took out a tablet out of his pocket and showed me some pictures. What I saw really shocked me, there was a picture of a body in a such condition that you wouldn't even be able to tell the gender of that person. It was missing left leg and right hand, it was half burnt and half mangled. If I saw a body in that state I certainly wouldn't even try checking if that person is still alive.

“T-that was me?” I asked nervously.

“Yes, but calm down, it's does not matter anymore we've healed you.” Doctor said reassuringly.

“INTERFACE INITIALIZATION 50% COMPLETE.” I heard that artificial voice again, but this time it was followed with sharp unbearable pain.

“Arghh!” I screamed as my consciousness started fading.

“What's happening?” Said the doctor.

“The p-pain.” These were the last words I said before I finally lost my consciousness.
