#cw:gore #caregiving #mental_illnesses #psychological #self_harm #violence #xenophobiaI've been,... dreading these last few chapters and how to execute them... chapter 12, 13 and 14 to me are all the most... challenging my wee lil brain had to handle. Its often emotions I don't deal with and lack the vocabulary to express myself in full. I suppose that is why I've been so hard stuck on the last few chapters and why there's been a horrible lack of updates.
However! I do hope y'all will enjoy this chapter and soon the next! 14 is being revised as I am typing this and while I'm working on chapter 15 in the background.
ENJOY!
ENJOY!
Three things became abundantly clear to Lily in the last two days. One; she really hated lying still and staring at the same wall. Two; her thoughts began to get worse and worse as time slipped by. And three; stars above she couldn’t stop stealing downward glances at her body!!! The gravity of events that transpired began to pile one by one on her drug induced mind. That warm blanket over the whole thing began to draw thin as some of the implants were removed. Primarily ones around her chest and collar bones. However the one rooted around her heart was unfortunately left behind. Something something needs to monitor the heart’s blah blah blah. Lily couldn’t understand half of it but why would she really care? That anxiety and trauma her brain sustained was beginning to feel like the bigger injury here. And with no one to talk to all day it cooked away in the poor girl until she began shedding swollen tears down her face.
Her old co-workers. Every single one of them. They did all this to her, did all those horrible things to her. No one was real, none of them were genuine. Just a STUPID facade to appease the masses and work within the law. Of course… As soon as that authority wasn’t there, holding no power over the cop rebel insurgents, they showed their true colours. Because of course.
Lily began to curse at seemingly nothing, damning her old boss, cursing over her life, damning the stars for being there, flailing in her bed to no avail. The warmth that was there slowly spreading from the implants could barely keep up with how much the Terran was moving. Eventually the implants opted for the last resort as they flared up in a radiant heat swallowing Lily’s mind whole.
Garcia burst through the door. Was there an automated alarm if things went haywire? Who knows. Lily definitely didn’t. Her body simply laid there seemingly unconscious again while her eyes stared up at the ceiling opened as wide as they possibly could be. She was crying again. Great… tears she didn’t wish to think about at the moment. One thing she was glad about was still having the little mosaic flower drying her cheeks from the unprecedented amount of tears streaming down her face.
“Trouble sleeping little one?” The nurse asked, approaching the bed to look and scan the implants with her datapad. “I understand you’re not doing so well. I’m sorry I cannot do much for you at the moment besides giving you something to knock you out.” Garcia brushed gently through Lily’s hair in an attempt to soothe her mind.
The girl simply whimpered away, feeling that gentle touch as tears began to stream down her face like a waterfall. She was undoubtedly scared. Scared out of her mind to be left alone. Or worse! Alone with another Terran. Her body shivered in fear.
“Would you like me to administer anything, little one? A bit of Taxodiprotite for your nerves? Or would you rather just go to sleep with a shot of Vitrium-b?”
No answer. Lily just couldn’t answer as the sorrow and warmth mixed and fought while her dilating eyes told of the internal struggle she currently had.
“Hmm… perhaps since we are gonna have to move you soon.” Garcia moved her vines about before a sharp prickle could be felt on Lily’s arm. “I’ll go ahead and give the former.”
In a span of a moment as the introduced drug began to flow through her system Lily felt her mind get almost completely wiped clean of her demons. Leaving the poor girl in a state of awkward sadness that simply washed off nowhere to reveal an empty shell on the bed. Oh… She was just alone. Or rather, *felt* alone. Empty, even. Her mind tried to piece the broken parts back together but she kept feeling how a massive hole burned hard in her heart. As if something was taken away from her and she couldn’t remember what. Another pained whimper escaped her while she tried to force herself to remember.
“Shhhh, dear. There’s no need for such thoughts.” A vine brushed over her head again leaving Lily in a sense of yearning. It felt nice but it wasn’t… it wasn’t… what wasn't it? “We’ll be moving you out of our care today. Your vitals seem to be stabilizing rather well.”
It was time for another walk? It seemed so. Not that Lily could protest in her current state. She couldn’t even protest from being so carefully and elegantly lifted from her bed, nor when placed into a wheelchair.
Lily was being wheeled around in her seat. Disconnected from everything yet watching the world go by in a gaze of colour. At some point she and Garcia met up with Brook and her affini companion or… rather met up with Narsilia what’s-her-face and her new pet Brook. Brook seemed to be a bit politer today when she offered Garcia to push Lily’s wheelchair. Lily felt a surge of happiness to be around Brook but it didn’t last long. Her heart still felt ice cold empty. Like a void that failed to be filled with loving company. Her expression quickly came into a neutral rest again as she continued to stare off into space, observing the many colours that came into her vision.
The group continued their walk, a green park now soon turned into a sort of street like appearance. The architecture was no grander than what the richest Terrans could afford. Lily’s eyes trailed around the strange buildings and sections that announced people’s homes and office buildings. People conversing on the streets, people walking by with their pets happily in tow. This almost didn’t seem like a ship but more of a planet side town. Very rich, yet still not something, Lily was sure, any terran would have expected to find on a spaceship.
Bright colours of a busy district soon disappeared, replaced by a more industrious look as she was being pushed towards the docking bay. Her eyes tried to adjust for the grey metallic colours. Lily noticed green vines all around the surface of the walls. All carrying a staggering wonder of brightly rainbow coloured lights. Oh… Wires? Was that optical wires she was seeing? Lily was staring in wonder at the strange engineering the Affini had, failing to notice where they were going. Or rather did she even care where they were going? Everything seemed to blur around her. What good would it do if she began thinking again? Began thinking about her thoughts- NO! Those were… that’s not something she wanted right now. That’s not something- what was it she wanted? Her brain tried to piece things together but the thought scattered to the wind, her eyes lazily blinking as colour kept swimming around her. It was so much easier to focus on practically nothing at all and allow her mind to swim, allowing it to border that semi conscious state as she was being wheeled around, escorted by her new found company. Oh hey Brook! Brook was… nice. Yeah~... Brook was pretty nice. Her thoughts sparkled for a moment giving the girl pushing her chair around a dumb and contagious smile.
It was only when the group had one last incline to traverse did Lily notice a group of affini standing in the middle of the docking bay discussing something. Lily’s eyes squinted wondering what that was all about when her eyes unfocused and refocused on a particular colour.
A bright. Vibrant. Stunning. Rose gold.
It almost felt like Lily’s whole drug trip felt like a dream as now she felt like she was fully awake, present, aware and conscious, alert and hyper focused on one point in time. Lucid. She was lucid. That familiar beauty, the bright glowing eyes full of energy. Lily’s breath got stuck in her throat as she couldn’t help but get stunned by the sight. Her mind made a complete 180 for that moment in time. Shock? Disbelief? Confusion? Astonishment? Something… flourished inside of Lily that left her heart momentarily beating faster, her body positively electric and her cheeks warm. Or was she just crying with the last one? She couldn’t tell. For in the next moment the sudden shock of her mind quickly washed under the chemical blanket holding the hazardous thoughts down like an anchor.
The affini standing in the docking bay all slowly came to a halt with their conversation as the rose gold colour separated from the colourful crowd. Lily stuttered a breath feeling that sense of familiarity, the dejavu of meeting someone for the first time yet feeling like you met them before. Or rather… already met but forgotten you did. She knew it resembled someone, someone important yet she couldn’t parse exactly who it *sorta* resembled? This felt like it but seemed… different. Lily was approaching the affini ever so steadily down the ramp as Brook took her weary time to control the breaks on the slope.
Eventually the two stopped a few metres away from the plant that stood towering tall above them. Three metres was a lot somehow. Or… oh yeah she was still sitting in a wheelchair. Her lips were open, she was drooling slightly from not thinking about anything other than the affini before her. She tried forming words but before she could, the large towering mass of vines slowly kneeled down to lower their head to Lily’s level.
“I can barely recognize you, flower…” Soft... warm and gentle the voice spoke like a honey filled song of the forest. “Don’t leave my sight again, little one.” Silwey Anul spoke.
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed reading the chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!
