previous happenings

He sat on his favourite place again.
The altar at the ruins.

The white stag had his eyes closed... those eyes hidden behind the gloggles, which didn't really fit into this place.
Like himself they wheren't part of this world.

Jack could feel it. The connection...
...the way 'home'.

It grew stronger and stronger the past days, this connection to his own world. THe world of humans... the smells and noises of the other world... the feeling of his own body... his human body... they became almost one with the impressions of this site.

He knew the reason for this. He hadn't spoken to her, but he felt it... Jane... love... 'sister' she was able to touch the other site now as well.

The way home... so close...

He started to smile. His heart made a jump with this thought.

Breaking free of this evergreen prison... the chance of breaking free of this other prision as well...

He snickered.

Oh yes, the chances where great this time.
Much better than last time.

He he.. well... last time.... that was... not planed... that was... just a lucky situation...
... but he hadn't thought of Jane at that time... hadn't though he would need her.

Of course he needs her!

This time they will leave together.
Yes. Together.

But first...

... every mission needs a scout.

He needed to peek onto the other site.... needed to know the situation there.

That's why he was sitting here...
...for a few hours now he tried to break to the other site again.

It was a little harder than he thought...
... it was... scary...

He needed to let go... to fall.

He was close to it... a few times now he almost did it... but then... in the last second... he clinged to this pathetic excuse for a live again.

Jack snorted...

"Also, gut... also gut... noch einmal.... noch einmal! Komm schon Soldat, komm schon.... lass los, lass los....Ja?"
('Well, then.... well then.... once more... once more! Come on soldier, come on.... let go, let go... yes?') he mumbled before exhailing again.

There was it again....
... this feeling.

He reached out... fell foerward...

And this time... he let go.

The head of the white deer fell to the ground, as if it suddenly fell asleep... its shape seem to fade... the body became transparent... the pictogram over his head vanished...
... and then it was gone.

Jack fell through darmnes... wanted to scream... wanted to grab for anything to stop this fall...
... but there where no mouth to scream with... no hands that could grap... no body...
.... just mind.

Then suddenly the fall stopped.

Jack opened his eyes wide. A dark room. Dark enough for him to open his eyes... no harming, blinding light....

beepbeepbeepbeepbeep

His heart was pounding... his breath went fast.
He was back... back.

He could feel is body... his legs.. his hands... his human body.
It was hard for him not to break into laughter. He needed to stay calm... they mustn't know he was back.

He tried to calm down, carefully looked around...

beep beep beep beep beep

It was the same room like last time... at least... he was sure about that. This room in the hospital wing of the Institute... No bars in front of the window. Low security standarts.
Yes... the hospital wing.
But...

He tried to move his hands and legs.

Restrains.

Teh... seemed they learned. Affraid he could wake up again, yes?
Well... they wheren't that wrong...

He snickered.

Hush damnit!

Jack tried to turn his head as far as he could.
... it seemed.... he was alone.

Damn. Jane... where was Jane...?

Last time they had been in the same room... but... this time he was alone.
She must be.... somewhere else...
Damn... that would be a problem...

He turned his head into the other direction...
... his heart jumped again.

No... he wasn't alone.

Next to the door... there sat someone.... a guard.

Was he... watchign him...? Had he been discovered...?
No.

He, he... oh must be his lucky day.
That moron was asleep.
.... must be in the middle of the night then. He snickered.

Very lucky.

So... that was the situation.
Time to go back.

...actually... now beeing back into his own body... he didn't really want to go back...
...but... he could't do anything here... tied up to the bed... alone...

Yes... better go back soldier. Your time is near... you just need to pick her up... and then you will be free. Yes...

Go back.

...

But how...

He blinked... he hadn't thought about that.
Last time he was able to return to the stupid forest again... but that was... kinda... by accident?

The white haired bit his tongue, swallowed down a curse...
...then he closed his eyes again, exhaled.

Should be... the same like leaving the forest, right?

...

Ah come on, that was ridiculous! Now that he actually wanted to go back into that forest again, he couldn't? Seriously that was just...

... no... stop.
Concentrate soldier... concentrate. It is possible... you just need to concentrate.
And then... break free again.
Just one more time.

He tried to listen, tred to hear the forest's noises again... tried to smell the scents...

...

wasn't there a bird singing...?

Or was it a voice of this world?

Jack lied in the dark... silent... concentrated... almost like in meditation...
... he just had to...

Slowly he sat up... without moving...

Yes... almost...

.... then suddenly he felt like he was thrown out of his body again... first he flew upwards... then suddenly the world turned upsite down... and he fell into the darkness again...

... again... trying to scream...

A white deer appeared on the altar at the ruin.
Literally... out of nowhere.
First the body... then a pictogram over its head...
... the deer woke up with a start.

Jack cursed... back in this deer body...
... feeling horrible sick.

He tried to get up on his hooves... had a few problems...
... the world around him was spinning... swirling...
He was close to threw up.

This traveling between two worlds... two bodies...
... it wasn't exactly pleasent.

...he started to laugh, though.

He laughed with full heart.

As soon as he felt better... he would find his sister.

It was time to go home.
