Lightning Doesn't Strike Twice!

Chapter 30

Babe. I think you're starting to feel warm maybe you should come back to bed with me. 

I felt my whole face red as I was blushing. She lowered her hands and wrapped them around me. Pressing her chest against mine. 

Whoa, I jumped back; don't you think you're moving a little too fast? 

Honey, we've been married for almost a full year now. Why are you tripping out? 

Married??? We never got married matter of fact you're still in a coma in the hospital right now! 

Honey, that happened almost 2 years ago now? Don't you remember? 

Did you fall and bump your head last night? I woke up from a coma. I saved you guys from the demon at that in the abandoned school. 

When you guys had not come out for a while Baby and Duke came to me at the hospital. Somehow I woke up before they came when I heard you guys were in trouble I helped you out. 

We got out of there relatively fast and defeated the spider demon. And a few months later you said you couldn't live without me and proposed. 

Don't you remember our wedding or our honeymoon? All our friends were there. I think you're just tired let's go ahead and head back upstairs. 

I can help you get into a better mood if you'd like. She said, walking back up to me and attempting to kiss me. 

I must be under some spell or something this is not real I need to get out of here, I said as I pushed her away. 

Oh, you're starting to hurt my feelings. Is this any way to treat your wife? I understand you don't feel good so let's head back to bed. I'll even run you a bath if you'd like before you get in bed. I'll use whatever soap you like so much. And I'll even scrub your back for you. 

She said, as she grabbed my arm pressing her chest against my arm. 

Are you trying to seduce me? Are you under some type of spell yourself; what is your deal? I pushed her back once more. 

Seduce you? You're hilarious. Oh, that reminds me we have an appointment with the gynecologist that we need to be getting to. I am sorry babe I spaced it. 

Why do I need to come? Because don't you remember we've been trying to have a little bundle of joy ourselves? I mean I understand that it's not been very successful, but that's why I set up this appointment. 

How do I get out of here? In what way do I even wake up? How long have I been in here? I wonder what's happening to the others in the outside world? So many questions running through my head right now.

Why don't you come with me to distract your mind from whatever's been going on? And when we come home I'll cook you a nice dinner and make you have a bath. 

There's nothing else I can seem to do here. I'll just play along and see if I can find some type of way to get out of here. Maybe I will find something to break the spell.

We arrived at the doctor's office it was very awkward to be there. Kaysi continued to flirt with me and was holding my hand then the doctor walked in. 

So after running the tests, I have some news to tell you. This test here says that you were pregnant but you had some complications with your body. Unfortunately, as it stands right now the chances of conception are very low. 

Are you saying... That I lost... And I won't be.. Able.... 

Kaysi busted into tears. I held her close. I know this isn't our real world. Hearing this news and seeing her like this seemed to strike pain in me. 

Is it because I had a previous attachment to Kaysi? Or that we dated at one point in time and this could have been our reality? I felt myself getting quite emotional; I was confused and lost. 

My head started to hurt. Pain struck my head I put my hand on my forehead I knew something warm and wet was running down my face. I pulled my hand back and looked; there was blood on my forehead. 

Ouch... I woke up to James holding a 2 by 4. 

Sorry man it was the only way I could wake you. I tried everything starting with a light tap. And then got a little more aggressive it seemed to work. You're here now at least. 

Minus the pain in your head of course and bleeding. Are you good now? 

Yeah, I'll be fine what happened to you and the others? 

Currently, at this moment, I'm worried about you. You're in a cocoon wrapped in spider silk and there are other silks as you can see around us. I believe the girls are in there. I was only able to identify you as your sword was sticking out. 

We were stuck in some type of Illusion. I was able to wake up before the illusion had had a chance to fully set in. 

I got lucky when the spider demon pulled me across the floor and ran me across a nail. It inflicted pain on me. I believe it was the pain that woke me up and it helped wake you up. 

I understand, I apologize if I'm a bit off my game the illusion was intense. 

I understand; the world that this monster creates. I don't quite understand but I think it has to do with our deepest desires. 

Ohh... I..I don't think that is what mine was., 

Oh, James said, in confusion, I guess my hypothesis could be wrong. 

Maybe it's just different for everybody I tried to distract him. Let's go ahead and start cutting down these cocoons and finding our friends. 

Wait... to start cutting down... The webs act as sensors for the spider. 

He said as it came crawling down the wall. 

My bad!? Too late... 

I held my sword ready to fight. Let's go for the legs and take them out one by one. 

Spider jumped at me, knocking me to the ground. 

Josh cut at one of its legs. The pain distracted it as it spun around to now attack him. 

He backed up and kicked two pieces of metal that sparked. A small flame held on to a dusty old newspaper. 

The fire made the spider hesitate. 

Oh yeah, I remembered spiders don't like fire I shouted to James. 

You are distracted by the fire. I will sneak up and attack it from behind. 

James continued to waive the fire back and forth but the newspaper was burning quickly. 

I climbed up to the top of the rafters in the ceiling and angled myself towards the spider's back. 

The spider was huge and had to be at least eight feet. I jumped off the rafters holding my sword in both hands and stabbed it as hard as I could through its abdomen. 

It belted it out and allowed scream and tried to use its legs to grab me but it was too short. 

Felt I was riding a boy as it was trying to Buck me off. I dug my blade deeper and twisted as it collapsed to the ground. 

I sure hope that's the last we have to deal with one of these types of demons; I said sliding off the back. 

I'm sure you're right James agreed. 

Let's go ahead and start cutting down the cocoons I'm opening them up. 

Hey if a small cut of a nail woke you up. Why did you feel the need to use a 2 by 4 on me? 

You're hard-headed I tried a couple of different things. Maybe the others won't be as difficult. Or maybe you were being lazy and trying to take a nap. 

We laugh together. Alright, you start cutting the ones in that direction and I'll start with these. 

Once we cut down all the cocoons we used a nail and scratched the hand of each person to wake them. 

All five of the construction workers were there and alive. As well as Becky and Micah they were all safe and unharmed. 

The atmosphere in the air seems to have changed. 

Baby and Duke came running into the building shouting at us about something. 

Wait I thought you guys couldn't come in here Becky asked confused. 

Once the demon was killed the Demonic domain was removed this was just an average building now. We need to tell you that the doctor says that Kaysi's vitals are rising. Which means she could be waking up any second now! 

Then what are we waiting for let's get back to the hospital Becky shouted. 

You kids run ahead we'll make sure the construction workers get back to their homes Duke said. 

When we got to the room I walked over and grabbed her hand. I didn't think about it at the time I just wanted to be close to her. 

All her friends were standing around as she slowly began to open her eyes. The doctor was standing next to her checking her vitals. 

How do you feel Ms. Moon? 

She blinked a couple of times and looked around the room. 

Where am I? 

You're in the hospital you seem to have gotten into an accident and were sleeping for quite some time unfortunately you were in a coma. Regardless of that how are you feeling now? 

I guess I'm okay. Who is Ms. Moon? 

Oh. Do you not seem to remember who you are? 

Do you recognize your friends around you? 

No, I don't.

It can be common for someone to lose their memory after a coma and such substantial trauma
