He awoke gasping and sputtering, from somewhere far off he heard the soft mewling of a kitten in distress.
He struggled to get up but he couldnt move properly, the mewling got louder and more panicked as he couldn't seem to find his arms, his throat felt sore and he was annoyed by that damned cat that wouldn't shut the hell up. He saw a curtain above him, and towards the side...was he in a hospital? He tried calling for help and the mewling got louder and more hoarse, turning into a high pitched whine that nearly hurt his ears.
He closed his mouth, and the noise stopped.
That noise....it was coming from...him?
The dream came rushing back to him, than his memories slowly. He couldn't move his body properly because he had been...been, oh god Janice! what did he do to her! do to him!?
Scared and anxious he tried to move his body as if he was walking backwards and he saw underneath white hospital sheets a long slender female leg rising from them, the back of its calf, towards a delicate ankle and petite heel connected to a small foot curved like a womens, with cute little toes.
Terrified of the sight of it, he needed to test if it really belonged to him, he closed his eyes and calmed his breathing. He opened his eyes.
And saw the backwards leg wiggle its petite little toes.
Screaming and cursing as best he could his voice came out sounding tinny and small like someone had kicked a puppy, he thrashed on his bed and struggled to move.
"Hold on dear, I'm coming to help" a female voice announced. He froze, someone was here, someone would see him like this, he was petrified, and embarrased beyond belief and most of all scared of who was out there and where he was. In his condition he was nothing more than a helpless little disfigured...thing.
The curtains were pulled aside and a woman came into view, she was dressed in nurses scrubs and looked to be no more than twenty five or younger, she was cute with an upturned little button nose, a dusty complexion with sparkling emerald gray eyes and brunette hair with two bangs falling down on either side of her face. He looked into her eyes and for a moment pictured Janice on their wedding day, her smile and that loving look she gave him when they sealed their vows. He felt a slight sting at the corners of his eyes.
She looked down on him, a sad smile on her lips and clutching her left arm towards her heart.
"I'm here honey, please stay calm and I'll help you, You dont need to be afraid anymore you're in a safe place now, HE cant touch you here" she cooed to him and patted him gently on the cheek, and she came back with moist fingertips.
At some point he realized he was crying, silently, but the tears were dripping from his face. That was all it took for the dam to burst, he was so caught up with it all he didnt realize the girlish sobbing was coming from him, the nurse leaned over, grabbed him by his head and leaned him over her shoulder and gently rubbing the back of his head and distinctly feeling the oddness of his ass coming into contact with her bosom, his knees bending the wrong way and his "front" sitting on his calves.
The nurse whispered soothing words in his ears and hair, and he gave up trying to hold back anymore tears, he could feel moisture on his cheeks that werent coming from his eyes. The nurse was crying with him.
For a while they stayed like that and his tears and sobbing gently ebbed away, till he was just barely sniffling anymore. She pulled back and softly leaned his head down towards the pillows and cleaned his face with back of her hand. He looked up at her, momentarly dissapointed at the lack of continued comfort he got when she stopped hugging him.
"There honey, it's good to have a cry now and again, I'm here to help and I'll always be your shoulder to cry on if you need it" she wiped away her own tears and beamed a hundred watted smile at him.
He honestly did feel alot better than he woke up in.
"I'm Nurse Simms and I'm your personal Liasion!" She said proudly and saluted him cutely.
....
"Err..right sorry, I'm not really used to this yet, i've only been her 6 months myself and I'm still learning the ropes, I'm just so nervous right now, and you must be too I...errr" she looked lost, and she seemed to be embarrassed. I was amused and confused.
she must have seen the blank look on my face when she cleared her throat and tried again.
"Sorry, I tend to ramble. Let me explain better, right now you're in the PRC, that stands for the Paranormal Rehabilitation Center, a govermental clinic set up to help citizens that have been affected by abnormal, paranormal incidents such as possessions, poltergeists, mythological entities, alternate dimensions, Alchemy, dark Magicks and unicorns" She stated as if reading from a teleprompter.
".....Unicorns?" His voice shocked him, it was small and soft like a little girls.
She suddenly had a grave, serious look on her face.
"Yes, unicorns...they are extremely deadly and malicious creatures, capable of unspeakable horrors"
"Surely you cant be serious" he gasped in awe.
"I am serious, and dont call me shirley"
Did she just...
She puffed up her cheeks and snorted, giggling wildly.
"Sorry, sorry sorry, I know this is odd for you but I coudln't help myself and frankly humor really is the best medicine, some patients react differently hopefully I didnt offened you, Im so nervous I get kind of giddy and silly...and....I'm rambling again" She blushed heavily and looked down at her feet.
"Its okay, I...I actually do feel better, please thank.....thank you" He still couldnt understand how that girlish childs voice was coming from him, but he looked at her blushing still and gave her a warm smile.
"Oh whew, I'm glad, the last patient I tried to help didnt go over so well, He was very angry and hostile towards me Im gald you and I could get along" she seemed relieved, and started rambling again.
"Okay, sorry now that we've gotten all that out of the way, lets get down to business, I am to be your personal Liasion, I am hired by the PRC to accompany and rehabilitate select patients who have recently been victims of the Rouge Mage know as Max Von Crucial, I am to assist you in your daily activities and day to day needs. I will be your guide to functioning as best of a normal life as possible while being in a thearupeutic enviroment with similarily affected individuals, this includes, physical and mental therapy sessions as well as possible medical and technological tests that you can opt for or out of, this includes plastic surgery, limb transplant or selective expiremental procedures. All of your needs and amenities are provided for with help of the Goverment, and the spears family foundation for crucial victims." She blew out her breath having said it one long sentence without break.
"Im sure now that you have many questions, and Im happy to answer any that you have, please ask away" She tittered cheerily.
This was a lot of information to take in, and through it all the most important of questions was floating through his head, he gathered up his cute girly voice and asked in the most pleading and cute way.
"Where...where Is my wife?"
Nurse Simms, horrified gave a startled gasp and pushed a button on the side of his bed. She started yelling down the door of the hospital room.
"DR. SHALL!!! DR. SHALL!!"
she turned back towards him, hand over her mouth, tears at her eyes again.
He shuddered in fear, his panic overtaking him again at her reaction, he was hyperentilating she rushed over and tried to calm him while crying uncontrollably, it made everything worse, he was colvusing now and taking deep breaths that were choking him.
The nurse pushed a button near his head and slowly the blackness consumed him once again.
