The Zombie Man Part 1

Chapter 3

"Oh my god!"

"Mom, she's awake!"

I was wakened up by the noise of the strange people who are talking out loud near me and by the sound of a machine. I can vividly hear how loud it was.

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

At first, the image was blurred. I couldn't say clearly what was happening around me. Not until I began to saw the person in front. It was a man who wear a white lab gown and was named Dr Charles from the tag attached to him. He was saying something I couldn't hear nor understand. The Doctor stared into my eyes with a flashlight, dazzling but I could not close my eyes.

Where am I? What happened? Why does it seem like there were so many people around? There seems to be something wrong.

The last thing I remember was ...

Oh, no! What is the last thing I remember?

I closed my eyes to think carefully about what was happening.

Dad died, that was the first thing I remember. I cried a lot and blamed myself for what happened, after that, I thought ...

I was stunned when I realized something.

So, I hung myself and lost my breath ... Wait, does that mean I'm dead? Right, I should be dead. I committed suicide but what was there? Why does it felt that there were so many people in here? Am I in a hospital? Does this mean I am alive? How did that happen? I have no other roommate or acquaintance at home who would save me. I also locked the door and I could still feel up to this time the seemingly endless thing that holds my breath.

That was when I decided to open my eyes. From lying down I sat and let out a deep loud breath as if I was drowned. At that point, everything becomes clears to me.

I am surrounded by people I do not know. There are also some American doctors around. Based on their posture I can tell that they are rich. The place is full of white, so I think this was surely a hospital.

What am I doing here? Who are they?

"Jesus Christ, my daughter! Are you okay? How's your feeling, baby?" I was surprised when a woman suddenly hugged me whom I could tell that she was rich because of the jewellery she was wearing.

But wait a minute, what? D-daughter? B-baby? When else did I have a mother? What is going on?

My forehead was immediately furrowed.

Suddenly, the Doctor whom I first saw approached the Woman. "Hon, our daughter is in a state of shock. Let's give her some space, she can't breathe." That is when my eyes widened even more.

D-daughter? Me? Wait, my father just died and now this doctor is saying that I am his daughter? Are they fooling me?

I could no longer hold back from everything that I heard, so I decided to speak up. "W-who, are you? Sir and M-ma'am, maybe you are mistaken. I'm s-sorry, but I am not your child." It was difficult, but I was able to tell that to them which I knew that they understand.

But, maybe not.

"What are you talking about? They are your parents, and I am your sister, Hazel." Another woman who was also wearing a lab gown spoken. Her face was strict and it was giving me a shivered.

Oh my god! When else did I have a sibling? What was going on?

I was really in the state of being shocked. Maybe, that was the main reason why my heartbeat was no longer normal. For some unknown reason, my body was slowly shaking as if I was going to collapse anytime.

"But-" the woman did not finish her words.

"Doc, her pulse rate is rising, don't pressure your daughter." It seemed like I was suddenly hit by something that made me slowly to lose my consciousness. I could even feel how my trembling increased and I felt the gradual acceleration of my heartbeat, second later it slowed down. Slowly, until I could no longer feel like I was breathing.

The hell with this!

"Doc, her oxygen saturation!"

"Airbag!" I heard the doctor scream. That was when the commotion started in the Emergency Room.

At that point, I don't know what's going on anymore.

"Doc, cardiac arrest!" Some are even started shouting.

"Defibrillator!"

"Come out first."

"200 joles clear!"

"Hailey Perelman!"

"Doc, still nothing."

"Gosh! Hailey."

"Clear!"

"No! No!"

"Hailey! Hailey! Hailey!"

"Clear!"

But before I lose my consciousness. I heard them calling me in a different name which makes me wanted to ask them why but I couldn't.
