Amber Escaping Reality

Chapter 8

It was still so dark,now I just appear to be in a room.But I have my body, Maybe I am in spirit form or something else.This room is too silent do,but at least I see a door to.The door open and to my surprise what happen next I will never forget. Giance came through the door, looked at me and said you are dreaming.I looked at him weird like ,dreaming,no I was not.He told me yes you are,let me explain to you what happened.You remember the battle you were in,well you got injured..We found you on the field after it was over and you did not respond to us. We took you to the hospital and you been there since. You enter into a coma after the doctors did everything that they could. It has been three months that you been like this.I replied back if I am dreaming, than I am still currently in a dream. So how do I know you are telling me the truth. How do I know that you are real. Prove it,prove it to me,show me. He then disappear and I just stayed confused.

Its been so long,feels like no end.I walked out of the room and I just saw a bunch of doors. Each door had a name assigned to it.The first door had written, Age One to Five! I enter and found that everything was different but yet still the same. My parents were there and I could see me,very little and fragile. I could see myself in my first year of school and all my friends , I had back then. I could see everything through a screen, I could here them. I could feel everything happening,I felt all the hugs and I just cried. I started to scream MOM, DAD ,CAN YOU HEAR ME!MOM,DAD,HELP ME,PLEASE HELP ME! In a blink of an eye I got pushed out the door. The door got sealed with wood and nails,I couldn't enter anymore.

I looked at door number two, it had written DAD.I found it weird but what could I do.

I decided to enter and see what was it about.As I enter it all started with dad putting me to sleep. it was a few days before his battle with the Valians! I could hear him sing, I could see him laugh. I could hear him laugh and see him dance. During all of this it still didn't hit me what was going on outside.I could hear his last words; Sweetheart whatever happens to me next week,remember I will always be there. I will sing ,dance with you and make you smile. I will keep you safe all the time. If I died I will still be there remember this and remember me. Be good to your mom and always obey. Make her proud and make me proud. I love you pumpkin. Goodnight!The moments he said that I got pushed out the door. Same thing as before,woods and nails blocking the entrance.

I saw door three , it had written ,MOM! As I enter ,I could see it was days before she died. I saw all the flight test she took. I notice how,now I can see that her wings ,were not her wings. They did not fit properly at all.If I would have known it back then I would have said something or even stopped her.It was two days before her flight test. I could smell the food she was cooking and I could see her funny slippers. The one she only wore while cooking,it had purple on top,black on the bottom. It had green on the side,blue were you put your foot to slide in. It had a turquoise bunny with red hair and a brown nose.She made earth steak that day. I could see us eat laugh and play afterwards,we had so much fun. We went to sleep and I could see her the next day.She was nervous and kept pacing around. She felt her wings were not right on her and she was scared to take the test. I told her don't worry that everything will be fine. That calm her down for a bit but only temporary.The next day came and we went to the field for the test.

The first test was speed.Out of ten she got a nine. For us once you get a ten it means you don't need flight training anymore.The second test going up to twenty feet ,in less than thirty seconds. She passed that test perfectly. They after went to fifty feet in the same time frame. She passed again with no problems. You see, we need to be able to go up to two hundred feet in the air.They tested next eighty feet. She struggled for second but still passed.They went next to one hundred feet. She made it up to the one hundred mark, but the moment she did that something went wrong. Her left wing detached first, she slowly started to go down.Then at eighty feet in the air her other wing gave out, it detached. She fell so quick yet it felt so slow.She hit the ground,everyone ran out.Most of her bones popped out or cracked because of the pressure.I couldn't see more so I left,I decided not to see her face. She got cremated and the moment that I yelled no,everything stopped.I got pushed out the door again and it got blocked.

The hallway just seemed to get bigger and longer. More doors started to appear as I started to uncover what was going on. I was dying the only thing is that, I don't know if I was dying because of the war.I also couldnt figure it out if I was dying because of the torture room and not the war. they both seem so real but the war I barely remember.What if it was the war and not the room. Then what was the room? Was it purgatory? Was I in limbo? Was I a spirit? I don't know at all, I don't! If it is like that then who were the people I saw. Is this all a dream or is it my mind breaking down from all those years of war.So many questions and yet no answer. I just kept walking through the hall, door by door. Sweet sixteen, prom,getting my wings,meeting Giance.

First battle, second battle,Nicholas.

I stopped cause I did not recognize the name or the door at all.Should I enter, this hall seem to have no end anyhow.I enter into Nicholas and what I saw was totally different.I was Nicholas, I couldn't explain this but he was me.This was me in battle, this was me fighting.He fought all the battles for me. No wonder I was so strong,no wonder I could face all.But how long has he been there,why did I call myself Nicholas and why don't I remember.I know they have said, that when you battle you enter an altered state of reality but never imagine it to be true.Wait a second do I do not remember those battles or those locations. I do not remember those soldiers at all either . I need to get out. I went through the door and just left, my brain hurting. My mind wondering what is going on here.

I saw the door got closed,then blocked. I kept walking and saw a door name Giance. I approach the door ,but my state of mind kept getting shattered with each door.I enter and I saw on the inside it had two more doors. One of them said ,Giance Alive! The other one said Giance Dead!

In the middle it had a sign that said choose one carefully! I thought for about two minutes what will be the best option.Then I just thought for a second , I'm dying somehow, someway. Let me see him alive one more time.I open the door, a bright light blinded me for a second. Afterwards, everything was so happy. In this occasion I never died in war,he didn't either.We moved after the war to a new neighborhood.We settle down, I managed the troops from the base. I took care of the training but never went to another war. Giance when to battle,but up to now he keeps coming back home.You can tell a few years passed by and we got married. The year was 1302, it was a spring wedding. We had two kids. The girl who was the oldest, she was born in 1306. The boy came a few years afterwards,he was born in 1310.I was happy in that world but then something strange happened. In this world I had a strange nightmare.But the nightmare literally was the torture on earth. Every scene exactly the same. I wake up from the dream and it was too much to handle. My heart gave out and it showed me entering to where I am now this room.I ran through the door and then the next. Outside I felt confuse,how did I died really. Is it the heart attack or the room on earth or the battle.

I started to walk again to see if I could find an alternative door. I saw one that said, Mom and Dad alive!I enter through the door thinking it will be a relief.I saw once I enter I notice that the home was different.Dad and mom where dancing in the kitchen and everything was happy. He went to work and came back home. He became captain at the base and lead many battles. My mom passed the test and never fell down.She was beautiful and radiant. I never met my aunt or Giance in this world,in this memory.I went through my school years and graduated. I never join the base, I became a flight teacher. I was giving the flight test now and I was happy. During this time I met Alex, I worked with him and we just hit it off. After a few years of dating we got married. Coming back home from the honeymoon a car crash happened. Alex survived, I did not, I died on impact. Same thing happen again, I somehow,someway ended up here in this location.Going through all these doors. I got out and watch the door closed.I walked away in silence. How is it that all these world exist in my mind.What really happened to me, which memory is real.

So many doors, none of them exit. None of them the one I seem to remember and know. One of the door that I pass said main office. I felt uneasy because I didn't know what to expect but I enter. I enter but it looked like a normal office.Sitting on a chair ,there was a very tall men.About seven feet tall with ten inches. His hair was white as earth snow,his eyes was all blue. He was wearing a blue suit with a grey shirt. What happen next gave me relief and most of the answers I was looking for.
