Chapter 6
Pomni hyperventilated hands moving all over feeling the alien but also familiar form as memories of her life flooded into her mind finally pitching herself the pain that shot up her arm felt amazing. hot tears of joy started running down her cheeks. Finally taking a look at her surroundings, a smile plastered on her face. She was in a dimly lit hospital room, the moon high in the sky, through a window she was free and the other's. Pomni smiled and dropped as she remembered the others ``Ragatha, harri, jax '' came her raspy unused voice where was everyone had they gotten out. Oh God what if they were still in there. Seeing the discarded headset on her lap she briefly considered just putting it back on before just as quickly discarding that thought if the others were still trapped she could do a lot more from the outside. After she'd been able to get the attention of a nurse Pomni had been whisked off for a battery of tests it wasn't till the sun was just starting to rise that Pomni was taken back to the room she'd woken up in. She was exhausted. The doctors had told her it was normal that her body had atrophied after five years. It would take time for her to regain her strength and right now any exertion would exhaust her. Laying in the bed Pomni's mind was in turmoil. five years She'd been gone five years so much had happened to her in that time even if she never moved a muscle, she had friends, a son, even a girlfriend somewhere out there that she may never see again. The thing she'd wanted ever since that first day was here and Pomni couldn't feel worse. The next month was a blur of treatment and rehab all being paid for by the product testing company she had been working for Heck she wasn't going to have to work for years if she was frugal with the money coming in. as her day's of rehab went on pomni mentally worked on her plan to find the others she'd search around looking through the news about anyone who’d woken up from a coma recently or at least been in one for the last five years She'd also look for people who personally or some physical traits matched those of the circus Pomni had learned that the circus copied traits from their real bodies somehow like how her girlfriend Ragatha had a button in the same place as her missing eye. Pomni also had memorized the logo “C&A” that had been on the side of the headset. If she could track down the company they had come from, it may give her some clues to where the others could be. After another few weeks Pomni was done with her rehab she didn't have anything, her stuff being either stolen or taken from her old apartment after she entered the circus. But what she did have was a huge amount of money and more to come so buying an RV and really hoping no one noticed her driver's license was expired she went out to find the others.
Pomni had been beyond lucky when she'd contacted her old job Marry a woman who had be a bit of mentor to her had was now in charge
