PROLOGUE

As I lay on the hospital bed, loosing what little blood I had left; I watched what could probably be the last few moments of my life, pass by. I watched the worried faces of the lovely people who I’d come to know as my family, and as I seemly edged closer to the light, I noticed something. I wasn’t scared of dying! No! I was scared of the fact that I might never get to see their faces again. John, Katelyn and Doctor Harry had welcomed me with open arms even when I acted like a douche. Grace had risked her life for me on countless occasions. They had always stood by me through thick and thin and we had been through so much together that I wish I could at least pay them back for all they’d done for me.

Just when I was starting to accept my so called destiny, it was being snatched away from me. Unfortunately I had no one to blame for all this but myself. Even though I was warned, I let my anger consume me, endangering my comrades in the process. I was reckless and stubborn and look were it got me, ‘on a hospital bed struggling for my life.’

My vision was blurred with tears, the pain I was going through was so unbearable, it was even worse than the night at the museum. I felt like I’d drank a whole glass of acid and it was slowly destroying my insides, blood kept spilling out from every corner.

I could see a figure which was most certainly Doctor Harry’s running helter-skelter, he was completely perplexed and couldn’t understand what had happened, heck even I didn’t know. Everything had happened so fast; one minute I was lying on the floor completely helpless and the next thing I knew, I was within striking distance of the general, I couldn’t remember how I got there or what happened after that, and I didn’t know if I was going to live long enough to find out.

My friends stood by my bed trying to comfort me, they had seen what had happened but wouldn’t speak a word about it, and right now they were more focused on my survival than anything else. Katelyn had tears streaming down her cheeks, I hated myself for making her worry this much, and I knew she would never stop blaming herself if things didn’t turn out right. I tried opening my mouth to say something, I wanted to reassure her that it wasn’t her fault, but blood gushed out instead.

“Don’t say anything.” She said “You’ll be okay I promise.”

Even though she was saying that, I could see the doubt in her eyes, deep down inside she was wishing she was right, but she wasn’t certain, in fact I don’t think I’m going make it, irrespective of my gift, the damage I took was way too much. It would definitely take a miracle for me to comeback from this.

I stared into the bright light above and it brought back memories, it was like my life was flashing right before me, I’d seen this in movies, but I never thought I’d experience it. Needless to say, this wasn’t a good thing, it was only confirming what I already suspected “This was the end of the line for me.”
