Chapter: 5
Once my exit was made, I was awaited by my butler with a wheelchair in his hands. "Here you are master." he said. "No thanks, I'm perfectly capable of walking." I replied. The doctor then stepped in, then reminded me, "Sorry Mr. Leonardo, but its hospital rules that the patient leaves in a wheelchair if something major has been done to them."
I sighed, as I walked over to the chair and sat down. "Alright then." I repented. Jack rolled me out of the room, and I guessed that the alien was following us. And just as I exited the hospital, after the two minute wheelchair ride out, I jumped out of my seat, and my butler shouted, "Master! I don't think you should do that!" "It's alright Jack, I feel fine; for now at least." I replied.
I felt another pair of eyes upon me, and oddly, I had a strange feeling that I knew who's they were. "Alright man, let's get home." I told him, hoping that he would happily agree. He nodded, as he entered the car which he drove, and I got in the back seat, leaving the door open for an extra second, then shut it.
After which, I rested my eyes. I do not know of why, but, I strangely felt more exhausted than I did a while ago. I took a deep breath, as my eyes begun rolling in their closed state.
I was awoken by a door being opened. I rubbed my eyes and then looked around. There was my butler, Jack, holding the door open for me. "You done with your nap sir?" he asked. I yawned, "Not fully, but how long have you been waiting here?" I asked. "Around..." he begins, then looks at his watch, a bad sign. "A minute or so." he finishes. "Alright then. I'm going to go up to my room and take a nap." I say, as I get up and walk out towards the mansion.
I open the door, hearing footsteps or paw steps; whatever they were, coming from behind me. I went up to my room and listened to the footsteps behind me.
As soon as I opened the door to my room, I held my hand in a gesture for it to come into my room. "Well then, wherever you want to sleep, go ahead. You get first pick." I tell her. She uncloaks and asks me, "What?" "Sleep where you want, I'll sleep on either my couch or bed." I repeat, in different words. She slowly walks over to my bed and lays down. After which, I walk to my couch and jump on it.
Just as I close my eyes, I hear a voice, "How do I 'Sleep'?"
"What?" I asked aloud. "How do I sleep? I'm not sure how." she told me. I get up out of my couch and walk over to her, as I take a seat on the bed, next to her. "Trust me for a moment, ok?" I asked, hoping for a chance. She nodded, or I thought she did from the light.
"Ok, I'm going to touch your eyes for a moment, so don't do anything." I tell her. As my hand approaches her she flinched, possibly thinking that I was going to hurt her. I put my hands on her eyelids, and slowly pushed them together. "Alright, keep your eyes closed, and relax." I told her. "Alright." she replied.
I sat there, until she fell asleep, then proceeded to go back to the couch. I sat down on it and closed my eyes, as my arm threw a blanket over me. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I hear the voice again.
"Um... Can you sleep with me?" she asked. I shot up, giving her a odd look, before she said, "I don't know, I can't fall asleep without you for some reason." she tells me. "Oook." I say, as I grab my blanket from my couch, and stroll over to my bed, where she moved over for me.
I laid down and repeated the process of closing her eyes. She fell asleep, close to me, which felt weird, seeing as I didn't have a name for her, or even know what she was. All I knew, was that she is clueless about life, dependent, can read my mind, and isn't my race.
It was odd. Just as I closed my eyes and laid down, three words popped into my head. 'What The Fuck?'
