Into The Void

(Amelia POV)

A total of three days had passed since that girl and boy had been in the lab, and nothing new had happened. I was sitting on the floor of my room playing with block I had found, when I heard a commotion outside. It was that of a boy screaming and crying, but I recognized the voice; it was Will's voice. I immediately rushed outside of my room and started jogging over to where I herd the noises coming from.

I found the room just in time to see Dr. Owens coming out of the room with other doctors and nurses. I also saw Joyce crying in the arms of some man I did not recognize. But what caught my eye was Will, laying in a bed asleep, sweating constantly and looking like he was in pain.

I stood in the doorway as Dr. Brenner turned his attention to me, confused as to why I was there. "Amelia, what are you doing out of your room?" he asked me. "Heard crying... I got worried." I said in a hushed voice as to not wake Will up.

He gave me s sympathetic look as he told me to wait by Will, walking out and motioning for Joyce to follow. I was now standing on the left of his bed, staring at him. In the room was two people I did not recognize; the man what was holding Joyce crying, and a kid that looked to be about Will's age.

The kid was the first one to speak up. "Who are you?" he asked me in a tone that could only be described as protective. "A.. Friend..." I said, motioning to Will. He looked at me confused, "I'm his friend too, why haven't I seen you before?" he asked me. "Live here" I stated, looking outside of the room at the door Dr. Owens, Joyce, and the other scientists where in.

The boy looked at me, growing weary. "You live here? In the lab?" the unknown man asked. "Yes" I answered dully. Just as he looked like he wanted to say more, Joyce stormed out of the room she and the other doctors where in, followed by Dr. Owens.

"Amelia, can I talk to you for a second?" Dr. Owens asked me, I nodded and he motioned me to come over to him. I gave Joyce a small wave as I passed her and she gave me a tight lip smile in return. I went over to Dr. Owens as he started to speak. "Now I know I would normally tell you to go back to your room, but could you stay here with them? There's something I need to do." He told me  as I nodded, I was already going to request to stay here so it was perfect. He gave me a pat on the shoulder as he walked down the hallway, out of sight.

I walked back into the room and sat down, looking at Will the entire time, hoping that he was going to be okay. For some reason, I felt protective of him. It may be because he reminds me of my brother but i'm not sure, all I know is that I want, no, need to protect him by any means necessary.

We sat in silence as the unknown boy fell asleep in his chair, and the unknown man and Joyce talked. I didn't really hear much of their conversation as I was to focused on Will, but something caught my attention. "Bob Newby, superhero" the man, now known as Bob said in a joking tone. I zoned out again, only to be brought back by the sound of Will's voice. "Mom" Will said in a groggy tone. "Hey" Joyce said in a soft tone, as Bob ran out to get a doctor.
