After Three Years: She Wakes Up Chapter 180
[Connor–a few minutes ago]“Do you know the melody of my song?” she had asked. I’ll never forget her melody. It’s been engraved in my heart for the last seven years, since I first heard her play it for her father, draped in golden sequins, shining like a star on a small stage in the middle of her father’s company party. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen her, but it was the first time I noticed her, really noticed her, for the gem that she is. She shined like a star, energy flowing from her center, touching all who watched her with the rich warmth of her music. I wasn’t the only one affected. As soon as the bow caressed the string, releasing the first, tantalizing notes, the whole room stilled, mesmerised. At the time, I assumed it was because of how beautifully she played, that everyone’s heart had been stirred and swayed, pausing to hear every clear, heart-calming note. Now I know differently. There is magic in her song. Something deeper than just the melody. Something healin

It was a small miracle. The first needle, the one I was touching, began to vibrate again. “The needles are working again,” I gasped, stunned. I tried singing out the anchoring note once more, a bright, clear, open A, and as I did, Connor slowly removed his hand from my shoulder. The needle began to shake. And then sputteredAnd finally came to a complete standstill. It was working just a moment ago. Why did it stop? Where did it go wrong?Thinking I just needed to repeat the note, I tried it one more time. But nothing happened. The needle was still, and as I touched it, as cold as the dead. Sensing my disappointment, Connor placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “You tried, Ariana…” The needle twitched under my fingertip. Was it Connor’s voice that made it jump?“Say that again,” I encouraged. “What you just said.” Connor squeezed my shoulder nervously, “Ariana…it’s okay. The nanobot serum is almost ready for injection. You’ve tried your best, Ari…” The needle began to hu

I turned towards the waiting cart. “Should we start the music,” Connor asked. I shook my head, “I need to place all of the needles first. I’ll signal when it’s time.” Before the true healing could start, I needed to tune the needles with the sound of my voice. After that, I had to place every needle precisely, and only when that task was complete could the music start. I explained everything quickly as he helped the nurses stabilize Allison’s condition. They had managed to quiet her screams with enough sedatives to drop an elephant, but her body was still thrashing as it rejected the effects of the nanobots. She wouldn’t last much longer.Turning towards my needles, I tried to block out the sound of the machines. For this to work, for the energy of the music to find its way into the needles, I needed to place them precisely, which meant having a clear head and steady hands as I positioned them. One wrong placement could ruin the alignment, which for someone in Allison's condition,

The air between us stilled as time seemed to stop. Allison was in pain. I’d do everything in my power to help her. Except for this. I wasn’t even sure I could still do it, even with my instrument. Other than that one time at the convention, I haven’t even touched an instrument since I gave up music shortly after my 18th birthday. That was 7, almost 8 years ago. Before my father’s death. Before my failed marriage…"I can get a violin,” Connor lifted his hand, ready to direct his staff to do just that. “I’m sure we have something in-house that would work. We…”"Not just any violin," I interrupted. "It needs to be MY violin–specifically, the one I used during my initial experiments. I need to have a soul-tight connection to the instrument, otherwise it won't work. It needs to be my Stradivarius.” Stradivarius violins were rare, irreplaceable, and practically priceless. My instrument was over 300 years old, created during master Stradivarius’ “Golden Period,” and had been played by co

Everything seemed to happen all at once.One moment, Allison was stable, her heart rate normal. Her body healed.And then the next moment, as if flipping a switch, all at once the machines around us began to sound a woeful siren that set all our hearts racing as the positive effects of the procedure fell apart.Feeling helpless, I stood there, shocked, watching in horror as her body began to jerk, her mouth open in a silent scream of pain that she shouldn't be able to feel, as if her body was burning through her sedation faster than the IVs could provide relief. Worse, her body was using up the nanobots before the treatment could be complete. She was still healing, only now the healing had stopped, and in some areas even reversing. "She's in pain. Can we up the dosage?" I begged the anesthesiologist. He shook his head. "It's already at the maximum dose for a person of her size. Any more holds a risk of…""Give her more," Connor ordered, shouting over his shoulder. "Do your job!" I'

I followed Connor out of the sanitizing room to a corridor so narrow that we had to walk in single file. The walls were thick plastic, perfectly sealed, protecting us from anything that could possibly cling to the outside of our suits. Eventually, the corridor ended, and a set of heavy doors slid away to reveal a large, open room. It almost felt like a warehouse, with cement floors that must be easy enough to hose down and disinfect, and tall blank walls. In the center of the room was a bed surrounded by one more set of plastic curtains that provided another layer of safety between the procedure and the outside environment. And at the heart of that space, lying on the bed, was Connor's sister, and my best friend, Allison Davies. Taking a deep breath, I surveyed our environment. To the right of the bed was a cart holding trays each with a variety of surgical instruments laid upon its surface. Some of the tools looked unfamiliar, possibly proprietary, but most of them were pretty sta

You could say that I had two wake up calls that day, but the true depth of their meaning would become clear later, when I got home to check my email. There were two new messages at the top of my inbox. The first was from Dr. Ryland Winchester and the HR department of Haven Medical Group. The secon

Staring at the phone, I was unable to process what was happening. Why had Misha changed his password without telling me?As I stood there puzzled, the mysterious caller kept sending more messages. Misha’s phone always shows a small preview of each time he receives a text. This time his phone chime

No.Misha would never cheat on me. He couldn’t. As I pulled into the long drive leading to his mother’s house. My heart beat faltered, my chest tight like someone had stabbed me and left my body pinned to the seat of the car. Closing my eyes, I exhaled slowly before opening the door and stepping ou
After Three Years: She Wakes Up Chapter 3
The next morning I woke up suddenly, confused and blinking, a sound from the next room startling me awake. The still-warm sheets let me know that Misha was still around. Usually he’d be gone by now, or nudging me awake to make him breakfast, but today he let me sleep in. Smiling, I thought of our n
