Journey to Another World 3

Ch. 19

"What the heck doctor. I thought you said that something like this would never happen to my baby?" The mother said as she was finally let into the room by the two nurses and quickly started looking over the burnt areas on her sons chest.

"That's just it miss. I have never heard of anyone having these strange readings while in a coma. His reading show more and more like someone's who's in REM, rather than one in a coma. Plus look at this." He walks over to the machine that is measuring the boys brain wave activity. "This is even stranger. Of course it shows the signs of decreased brain activity. Just like anyone would in a coma. But there also appears to be a second set of waves. The second set indicates someone in a dream like state. And for that matter, having a very extensive dream."

"So which is it doctor? Is he in a Coma, or is he dreaming?" She rushes over and quickly grabs the man by the front of his shirt.

He slowly looks over at the mother and rethinks the answer of, ‘I don't know'. "This is out of my league miss. I'll need to call in an expert on brainwave signals to find out what these reading truly mean."

The mother slowly lets go of his button up doctors outfit. The doctor doesn't say a word as he quickly makes his way out of the room while brushing off the front of his outfit. Once again the mother drops into the chair beside the boy she looks up at the beard that the boys now sprouting. ‘I guess it's about time to take care of that.' She thinks with a smile. ‘That beard resembles his fathers so much.' And with that she reaches into her purse and retrieves a razor and shaving cream.

A little later a small girl approaches her mother. "Mommy. I'm back from the cafeteria." The mother quickly wipes at her eyes with a handkerchief that she quickly pulls out of her purse.

"Thanks baby." The mother turns and see her daughter holding up a small paper cup filled with soda. She takes the cup and downs the drink like a whisky pro, then hands the cup back to her daughter. "Would you be a dear and go and fill that up with some water from the fountain outside." The girl nods and quickly rushes out the door, steps on the peddle for the water while stretching up to fill the cup with water, then slowly walks back into the room.

This time the mother slowly sips the water down then places it on a counter in the room. "Was it really that bad mommy?" The girl asks with a worried expression on her face. Hiccup, is the only thing that the girl hears. "What's the matter mommy? Got the hiccups?"

The mother turns to the girl and gives her a smile with an embarrassed blush. "After all the ti..." Hiccup "Times I told you not to..." Hiccup "To drink sodas to fast. I go on and do it..." Hiccup "Myself." Both the girls start to laugh as the girl goes over and retrieves the cup.

"I'll just get you another glass of water mommy." The girl gives her mother a sweet smile then calmly walks out of the room, but stops when she hears a slight beeping sound. She sets it down and walks around the room, in search of the strange beeping sound. ‘What could that sound be? I hope it doesn't have anything to do with big brother.' Eventually she is able to track it down to a closet that's in the room. Upon further investigation of the beeping it leads her to her brothers belongings that have been placed inside a large plastic bag.

‘The beeping noise is coming from inside the bag.' With that she sets the cup down on the floor and begins to dig through her brothers scorched cloths. ‘It's amazing that only his cloths were scorched, and not him. Found it.' She pulls out the blue Gameboy DS that belongs to her brother. The machine is also heavily scorched and charred from the lightning, but that isn't what has caught the little girls attention. Looking closer to the thing there is a set of lights that are blinking orange on the exterior of the thing.

‘It's his DS. It's almost out of power.' She looks into the room and smiles. ‘I don't think that big brother would mind if I played it a little.' She searches a little more in the bag of her brother belongings and finally finds the power cord. With a sneaky grin she takes the two items and runs into the hallway to sit in the waiting room. ‘If I remember right. Big brother said that if his DS were ever to be opened while these lights were blinking that the DS would instantly die.' So she finds a plug and throws the thing into recharge mode and opens the thing up.

(Back in the room)

The heart monitor starts going off again, calling all the doctors and nurses back into the room. "Were need that crash cart in here again." A doctor yells out the door.

The boys vitals have nearly dropped again and are steadily on the decline. The mother is quickly removed out of the room again. She grasps her hands and falls to her knees in prayer. Hoping against hope that her son will pull through. As she prays she also awaits the sound of the paddles being used once more, but for some reason the sound of the electricity zapping her son never comes and she fears the worst.

"This kid must enjoy toying with us." The doctor says as the mother quickly leaps to her feet and rushes into the room to find out what the doctor meant by that remark. She sees that everyone is looking up at the boys heart monitor and brain wave patterns. "Just a second ago, I could have sworn that his heart was about to give out. But now?" The all watch as the boys vitals rise and finally stabilize back into their coma like state. "Well this kids definitely going in the medical record books, as being one of the most bizarre coma cases that I've ever come across." Says the doctor as he places a hand on the side of his head and scratches there out of frustration.

Once the boys vitals have stabilized as well as his brain wave pattern, the doctor and nurses leaves the room. The mother takes up her seat again, only to leap to her feet and quickly grabs the boys hospital gown. "What the hell is wrong with you! Scaring your dear mother like this." With that she beings to unload her frustration on the boy. As she pounds on his chest as well as cry into it.

About an hour later the daughter returns with a glass of water and the DS tightly clutched in her hand. ‘Brother would kill me if he knew that I'd played around with his game. So I'd better not turn it off.' She says to herself as she had just closed the lid of the system.

The mother looks up at the sound of footsteps and smiles when she sees that it's only her daughter. "And where've you been?" She sniffs and wipes at the tears in her eyes.

"I just went outside to get you some more water." She hands the water to her mother who also notices the DS in her hands and points to it. "This is big brothers DS." She holds the thing out to her mother. "I noticed that it was low on power, so I plugged it in so that I could play it a little. I know big brother..."

The rest of what she says is lost on the mother as her eyes light up and she looks from the DS to her son. ‘Could there be a connection between what just happened and that game?'
