Chapter 298 - Retrieving the soul

After the door of the ICU was banged everyone was startled and stared in that direction. The doctors rushed in to see what was wrong with Rachel while Jamie ran behind Robert but he disappeared after turning into a quiet and empty corridor. Jamie had a ghastly look on her face because the way he left and the mood he was in she was sure, he would do something reckless. She had no idea what made her react like this but she was scared. 

The doctors that rushed into the hospital were shocked to see Rachel's body trembling. She had been in darkness for 2 days. She felt like she was dreaming as if she was waking in a dense forest in the middle of the noon. She was feeling the hotness but it was all dark as she was surrounded by thick trees. She kept walking in search of light, her throat was drying up due to the heat. Although she was not conscious, her body could could feel everything and every touch and then signals were being sent to her brain. 

When Robert kissed her hand she felt a ray of light come to great her from ahead as she was about to give up walking that ray of light gave her hope and she started walking again. She was tired but she didn't want to give up just for that ray of light, she knew someone was waiting for her at that end desperately searching for her, she could not give up for that person. She kept walking until her body felt the touch of Kevin, she felt like she was attacked by something sharp in her leg that made her tremble and she fell down. She was stuck into something that she could not see because of the darkness, the pain seeped through her body that she felt like crying but there were no tears and no voice that she would use to call for help. 

She sat there for a long while but the again a kiss on her hand showed a ray of light freeing her from whatever was tying her down and she began walking towards that light once again desperately wanting to reach that end. The heat was not ready to cool down her body was in pain but she had to reach the source of light. She walked for a long while and she was able to see the ray of light a few times which gave her the strength to walk whenever she was about to give up, everytime she increased her speed and more desperately dashed towards the source but each time she would end up in darkness. 

Then after a long while the trees were cleared and the light was seen. Her body felt Robert's touch and she wanted to wake up for it. It was that light that she had been searching for a long time and wanted to achieve it. She finally felt it's complete brightness and heat that made her smile.

She saw the silhouette of the person who had been pulling her to this brightness and she smiled at that person, she wanted to run to that person and hug him but she was too tired that she could not move anymore so she stood there to take some rest then after a while the brightness started to reduce around her as the silhouette started to move away. She ran towards it to grasp it from escaping but she was too tired to walk and fell on the ground. The silhouette disappeared and she finally closed her eyes to rest.

Robert had actually done the work of retrieving her soul from falling into the pit of darkness, he was her ray of light and she wanted to wake up for him and now that she knew she was close she was ready to rest for a while that was when her body began to tremble because her soul was retrieved. 

The doctors checked on her and immediately rushed her to the operation room for treating her as she had recovered tremendously but there were still a few procedures that needed to be performed. They quickly did a few procedures while everyone outside the room was worried at what happened that they had to shift her in for a treatment so early. Jamie was on the verge of crying but when she saw the doctor come out with a smile on her face, her heart felt like it had seen some light after so many years. She rushed to the doctor and asked "What happened doctor?"

The doctor smiled "She is perfectly fine now, she will be awake in a few hours and until then we will shift her to the room."

"A smile appeared on Charles's face and he said "Shift her to the VIP room, I will pay for it."

The doctor nodded his head and soon she was shifted to the room. Oliver was so happy that he didn't know how to react, he still thought that Jamie supported her so he went to her and said "Mrs. Cullen I am so happy she is going to wake up can you help me with talking to her."

Jamie was way to happy "Off course you saved her, you will be the first one I will take in to talk to her."

After saying that a flash of worry crossed her face as she realized that Robert had escaped, the only person she would want to see after waking up. She smiled at Oliver and then excused herself to the side and called Robert but he didn't pick up the call. She then typed in the message 'Rachel is awake' and just waited for him to come. She knew that even if he was sure that it was a lie, he would definitely come to see her. He loved her so much that even a small lie about her well being was enough to bring him back even from hell, he was still in a living place and Rachel was really fine now. 

Robert had went to some corner of his own land where he was alone surrounded by complete darkness. He came into his full powerful form and began to destroy everything around him. He didn't want to leave anything standing but he was still not satisfied, the anger inside him was still growing. He changed his form and soon his phone rang, it was Jamie so he threw the phone away in anger. He turned into a giant snake and began to pass through the pillars destroying them and along the way his head was filled with blood. His anger didn't lower down as it usually did, it kept growing silo he rushed his way to the nearest water body. Seeing such a giant snake everyone present near the water body was scared stared running away and the people who were inside it n.a.k.e.d just ran away without clothes. It was not just because it was a snake but because that snake had a dangerous and murderous aura around it. 

They felt like if they were to even see in his eyes they would die. The snake made it's way into the water but his anger didn't subside and his body still had that heat bit it was slowly being dissipated as he let the water in and a few water animals died at his hands. He ate a few of them while the others he killed with his poison and slowly his body began to calm down but he was still angry by the fact that Rachel loved someone more than him. 

After he calmed down a little, he went back to the place where he was earlier and then searched for his phone to call Jamie back but before he did that, he saw the message send by Jamie 2 hours ago and he felt like she was tricking her in coming back but he still wanted to go back and check. 

Back in the hospital Rachel woke up just after 1 and a half hour and the first thing she asked her mother as she entered was "Where is Robert?"

Jamie put on a smile and it was a bitter one and she didn't know what to tell her but she didn't want to hurt her just as she woke up so she said "He was there by your side for 2 days without eating or sleeping so I send him home to freshen up. He was reluctant to leave but I pushed him and he just went away, he will be back soon."

Oliver sneaked behind Jamie and out on a bright smiled, he held Rachel's hand "I am so happy to see you awake, I have been wanting to talk to you and just wanted you to wake up."

Rachel smiled at him then looked at Jamie in confusion, she rolled her eyes but then with a smile she said "He brought you to the hospital as he was just outside when you fell unconscious."

She then looked at Oliver and shook his hand "Thank you so much for helping me."

He smiled and went ahead to hug her that was when Robert came in and saw this.
