"Damn..." I say, "you really ballsed it up this time, didn't you, Lewis?"
Lewis glares at me and I pretend to not see it. I walk off, seeing something shiny in a cave.
In the cave, there is a black liquid. It had a red mist hanging above it. Suddenly, the mist rises along with the liquid, and the liquid forms into an upright rectangle, the size and shape of a door. There is a faint but seeable carving in the top third of the rectangle. The red mist fills the carving and liquified. It doesn't spill out, but it flows through the carving like a stream, making it fully visible. A simple but ominous eye shape, looking at nothing, but looking at me. It's a strange sensation, when you're not in something's line of sight, but still feel its eyes on you, boring into you like a drill.
I hesitantly reach out to the rectangle, the monolith, and hear Lewis scream "FELIX, NO!" But it's too late.
Tap.
VWOOOOOOOOM!!!
I go flying out of the cave at breakneck speed, rushing past the others and slamming into a rocky cliff. I fall to the ground, my limbs convulsing every now and then.
"Felix!" Deomi screams, "Felix! Speak to me! LEWIS, CHECK HIS PULSE NOW!"
Heh. Hehehe. I love Deomi. Hell hath no fury like a woman whose boyfriend has just been attacked by a door with an eye on.
Or something like that.
Lewis runs over to me and checks my pulse. He frowns.
"Guys..." Lewis says, "he's alive. But... Really, normally alive. His pulse is fine, he's breathing normally, the convulsions has stopped, and he's working perfectly. It's like he's awake, walking, talking, just like normal... But... He's not. He's here, on the floor knocked out cold."
Only now I realise I'm not there. I'm here, right beside them. But I am there. My body, my physical form is there. But me, my self is here. An out of body experience, I think they call it. I jump. I don't land, but float. Nice.
I fly through Deomi. I suddenly think thoughts I don't understand and don't really want. Something about Tim liking dog food, something something Professor Green. These must be Deomi's thoughts. I try and get my thoughts through the barrage.
Deomi?
What? Who said that?
Oh, sweet, I'm telepathic!
Felix?
Yeah?
OH, MY GOD!
Pipe down! Right, I'm in an out of body experience, and I think I can find a way out of here. I can't go through anyone else though. If I do, I won't be able to talk to you until I go through you again, and their thoughts will become my thoughts and my thoughts will become your thoughts and it'll become really awkward and confusing.
O... K...
Right, give me a couple of minutes. I'm off.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
Right, I've found the way out. Pick up my body and follow my directions!
