I opened my eyes. All I saw was stars and the deep hue of blue and purple surrounding me. Some stars were mixed with that. I'm guessing I was in space.

I felt myself floating, my body calm and relaxed. I could feel a very slight breeze coming up from under me, like it was keeping me from falling. I reached out in front of me. not feeling the breeze. I reached out in all directions, not feeling anything, but the small breeze beneath me.

I looked up, and saw the sky above me. It was blending together, like something was trying to come through. Then I relized, I could feel myself rise very slowly towards the swirling ceiling. I reached out around me again, realizing a second later that I was still floating. I tried to say something, but nothing came out. I sighed heavily, realizing I couldnt do anything. I reached up towards the sky, finding myself raising up faster. I shielded my eyes as a bright light shone through the mass.....

I opened my eyes again, this time being blinded by a bright light above me. I tried blocking the light with my left arm, finding it restrained to something. All of a sudden, I could hear a few muffled voices talking amongst each other, and the light above me dimmed to a lower brightness. I could finally see my surroundings.

I was in the hospital, on a hospital bed. There was a tv on in the corner, highlighting the news of what happened earlier. I looked down, I found my left arm held down by a metal object. I glanced by my shoulder, it bandaged up. Probably from the gunshot wound. I didnt feel it anymore, but I could feel the bandages sticking to my fur. I looked around, I saw Bruce staring at me with a bit of worry on his face. Zach was standing in the doorway, playing with his phone. He stopped and came to my other side as soon as a muttered a small cough.

"Ray, youre finally awake! I thought you would be gone forever!", said Bruce as he got up to give me a hug. I forved the right side of my body up to embrace him in a hug. He hugged me tightly back and started crying. I could feel him tense up quickly and hold back everything he was just about to let out. I looked him in the eyes. His eyes were red and irritated, like he had been crying for days.

"Bruce, why are you crying? You seem like something is horribly wrong.

He whined loudly and motioned towards Zach, who sighed heavily as he was about to speak.

"You almost died a couple nights ago."

"How? All I suffered was the gunshot wound."

"The gunshot wound is all taken care of, thats not the reason you almost died."

"What happened then?"

"Right after the surgery was taken care of. Jacob somehow found his way in here. Dont ask me how, or anybody, they dont know. He mustve escaped from wherever the cops took him. He came in here last night. He didnt do anything for like the first 30 minutes he was in here according to the cameras. At the time, the cameras couldnt see him because it was dark in here. He found the gas you had been breathing so you could sleep through the surgery and turned it up. He ended up giving you double the lethal dosage for it. He ended up getting pinned by a doctor a few hours later. Hes being held in one of the mental rooms right now."

"But that doesnt explain exactly how I almost died."

"The lethal amount that you breathed in, made you slip into a coma. If you hadnt waken up today, it wouldve only been the fourth day you were in the coma. While you were in the coma, your heart shut down, and the doctors had you hooked up to a machine until your heart started beting on its own again. They said it went on for a few hours. But they said you dont have to worry about any heart problems since its functioning perfectly normal now."

"Anything else happen?"

"Besides Bruce not eating and crying his eyes out for the past few days, not really no. Bruce kicked Jacobs ass last night though. He found the room he was staying in and knocked him out, and almost scratched one of his eyes out."

I laughed loudly upon hearing that. Bruce's eyes lit up a bit.

"Good thing it was you that did that Bruce. Zach or me wouldve probably snapped his neck."

We all laughed at that. I took the metal bar off of my arm. I found it weird that I was still in my clothes from three days ago. I got up and hugged Bruce tightly. In an instant he was crying heavily as he sunk into me. Days of his depression and worry being let out in an instant.

The doctor walked in, instantly stepping back as if he was about to leave the room.

"Its alright to stay in here if you wish to doc, just a tender moment here."

"I just wanted to inform you that you are free to leave whenever you want to. You should be completely back to normal in a few days. Same for your beloved there next to you. All of yall are probably shaken up a bit from this whole event. Just call the hospital and ask for me, AKA Doctor Dinsten if you have anymore questions."

And with that he walked out of the room, silently closing the door. We made our way out after a few minutes, making our way to the mental ward. We went to the desk, asking for Jacob. The lady told us room E7, and went back to her business. We walked down the hallway until we saw "Room E7" written on the door. We opened the door and walked in. The room had puffy padding all over the floor, walls, and ceiling. It was a gray color and was comforting to step on.

I looked to the corner of the room and saw Jacob sitting there, his head was down in between his knees. He must not have heard us come in. I walked over to him, tapping him on the shoulder, instantly getting a reaction. His head jolted up and he looked straight at me, his eyes filled with regret and guilt, but that quickly changed to hatred. He struggled to get up, only being able to use his legs as his arms were restrained against him. He was finally able to get up, and screamed at us to get out. I slapped him upside the face, him instantly stopping and staring at me with hurt eyes.

"Stop with hurt shit Jacob. Im not falling for it. You tried to fucking kill me, now youre gonna see how I react to it."

He tried to lunge at me, but couldnt because his arms were restrained to chains built into the wall. They only came out about a foot and stopped. He was stuck there. I laughed at him.

"Looks like you are fucked Jacob, you have no way to leave, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Just take your punishment like a man and I'll leave peacefully after it."

He whined and sat down on the padding. I stood and walked around for a few minutes, trying to decide what to do. I then decided to just stand directly in front of him, staring at him with a smirk on my face. I stood there for about an hour. His stares went from worried and scared, to bored. I stepped over to him, putting one of my feet on his leg, and I brought my right hand to his chin, tracking my fingers along it, kind of like teasing somebody a bit. I took a step back, letting his face of utter confusion amuse me. I bent my ankle, cracking it as I stretched it.

I brought my foot up swinging it at him and smashing it upside his face, getting a loud scream from him in return. I could hear Zach grunt a little bit in the background as a bit of blood came out of Jacob's nose.

"It's such a shame that I have to do this to you. I thought you would be a reasonable person. But no. You cause a massive wreck. Try to kill me once with a gun, twice when you tried to put me in a coma. I hope you know, this is reality. There are punishments for your actions. You are not dreaming, and you never will again. I hope from here on out, everytime you have a dream, it gets crushed into millions of pieces. If you think you deserve anything other than to be alive, or to be someone's slave, you are very, very, wrong. I spit on him as I walked away. I could feel his fear emnate through the room. I could feel his eyes, staring at me as I walked away towards Bruce. I talked to him, adding Zach into the conversation.
