The Messenger

I'm a Boy!

I wakeup suddenly from being shooked. I open my eyes and I can tell it's Anabelle. I rub my eyes so I can see clearly again. I then notice the panic in her eyes. 

"What's going on?" I stand up quickly. She doesn't reply, but she points to where Barry is laying. Her eyes are widened with horror. I feel chills going across my body. What could possibly be wrong with Barry to make her react this way? What if Dylan killed him by over dosing him on pills? I quickly find myself running towards him because of that thought. I stop as soon as I get close to Anabelle to see what she is talking about. I stand there shocked. 

Now I know her face wasn't filled with horror, but with confusion and shock. I stare at a body, that is clearly now human and clearly still Barry. He is still sleeping. I look back at Anabelle, slowly walking towards me. I swallow hard and then look back at Barry. I even pinched myself to insure i'm not dreaming.

"He's human, healthy." I emphasize. Unable to talk, she nods. I wonder where Dylan is. Why isn't he here with us? Maybe, he's still asleep. He needs rest, so I decide not to get him. I walk closer to Barry. I then slowly lay my hands on his neck, making sure he has a pulse. He does. I then touch is forehead. It was normal. I then start to soft poke his shoulder.

"Barry?" I whisper. He tiredly opens his eyes. He just stares at me. He must not know he's changed. 

"Yeah, is everything alright?" He says without any stutter or hesitation. His voice is even so much clearer! He sounded so... Human! I feel a tear of joy fall down my cheek. Even, he is shocked by his own vocals. He looks down trying to see his hands, but their still ducktaped. I quickly run around the store until I find a mirror. I then quickly run back and unravel it. I then hold up the mirror infront of his face. I watch his face. He has no reaction.

He is completely emotion free. "Are you okay?" I ask him. This must be a huge change to him. I look back at Anabelle, still in the same position and still wide eyed. When I look back at Barry, he starts balling. I wish I could hug him, but he's all tied up! So I just lay my hand on his face, he leans his head in to my hands. I pat his hair. "It's all okay now! You're human! I don't know how! But we'll figure this all out! The world is going to come together again!" I notice i'm crying too. I then feel Anabelle's hand on my shoulder. I can hear her sobbing aswell. I then get up and we start hugging. We all take 5 minutes just crying and then I take a couple deep breaths and get myself together.

"Barry, I think it's safe to untie you now." I smile at him. He nods. Anabelle helps me do this. He stands up stretching. He then starts tearing off his shirt full of blood and then starts staring at his skin. Touching his own skin non-stop.

"It's so soft." He looks up at me smiling. I smile back.  It's hard to see what he truly looks like because he still is coated with blood all over his face. "This is so weird! Being human again! I can actually express myself again!" He exclaims. He then walks towards me, trying to give me a hug. I hold my hand up quickly.

"Can you shower first?" I laugh. 

"I'll show you where the bathroom is and we'll find you some clothes." Anabelle offers him. I stare at her shocked. I thought she was scared of him!

"That'd be nice, and food please?" He pleads.

"Of course." She adds. "Want to come Silver?" 

"Nah, I think i'll just go find Dylan and tell him everything." 

"Dylan? Pshh." Barry clearly dislikes him. I giggle at his comment anyway. They then head off. As soon as their gone I quickly find Dylan, he's still sleeping. I start poking him.

"What's up?" He leans up.

"Barry is human." I say. He stares at me and then starts laughing hysterically. "Not joking," I clarify. He immediately stops laughing.

"Tell me everything."
