Dazed

Chloe was left confused as she became disorientated while her body now felt like lead while her hair laid splayed around her face and the floor.

She didn't understand why until she blinked and realised that she was on the floor much to her confusion given that she was just standing a few minutes ago.

What was that?

Why were people on the floor and why couldn't she hear anything?

Chloe as she was on the ground didn't notice someone shaking her to get her attention as she could only see legs and shoes as she laid on the floor.

"Chloe!" The girl was unable to hear thanks to the fact that she couldn't hear.

Everything had become a dull noise leaving her more confused than ever.

Soon pain filled her right side but she couldn't hear her own voice as she opened her mouth, or at least she thought that she did.

Chloe tried to get up while her body screamed in protest from having to get up.

However to her surprise she was now sitting on the side of her legs but didn't complain as she took in her surroundings.

Most of the students were either on the floor or panicking and a few ran, tilting her head slightly in confusion she turned to look the other way only to see Daniel's face which looked completely worried.

He looked as if he was saying something given how rapid his mouth was moving and his hands were near her.

Chloe blinked before she was shaken a bit but didn't feel it due to the fact she was still trying to recover from what just happened.

"Chloe! Chloe can you hear me?" Daniel had tried to say before his mouth closed as he saw that she was not going to respond.

She looked completely dazed and out of it even though she was up and looking.

He looked around to see if there was a teacher or firefighter and bit his lip in frustration as he saw chaos around them.

"Can I get some help please!" Some students looked at him before turning their heads to look at Chloe.

To his shock, they walked away not showing an ounce of care.

He then looked at Chloe who was staring at him with an unreadable expression while she looked as if she was pouting.

"Stay here I'll get you some help" he said before getting up and went to find his teacher or someone who could provide assistance since she wasn't responding to anything he was saying.

Chloe remained still before her head moved slightly due to how heavy it was at that moment, not knowing what was going on until she turned to look at the building.

She would have had her eyes go wide in horror but at that moment she looked calm if not slightly out of it.

Questions didn't form in her mind nor was she able to process anything of what was left of the building, which thanks to what happened now looked like it had been torn apart as a massive hole could in the side where her class had been. Meanwhile some rubble laid near their feet.

Chloe soon turned again to see if anyone had got hit by the projectiles from the building after it blew up. Only what she saw was that a few were screaming as some glass and debris either impaled them or crushed something or someone.

Chloe remained still and unaffected due to the fact that she still couldn't hear thanks to the muffled noise.

Why did it feel like her head was swimming?

She didn't know but all that greeted her next was darkness for a brief moment before she was greeted with now dusty grass and sky that slowly filled her vision.

For some reason she was now seeing things sideways much to her confusion before darkness filled her vision again.

Chloe's eyelids twitched as she started to wake up.

Pain soon filled her senses while a low groan escaped her lips the moment she felt every inch of her body. Where was she?

Chloe forced her weakened eyelids to open only to cringe and whine as a blinding light hit her eyes the moment they opened.

Slowly she moved her left hand to her now shut eyelids in order to prevent as much light touching her eyes as possible before she tried to open her eyes again.

This time now that her hand was blocking the light slightly did Chloe look only what greeted the disorientated and tired girl was white.

Slowly removing her hand as her eyes slowly adjusted to the light.

Only she was now greeted with white sheets leaving her more baffled than before until she saw a needle sticking into her hand.

Why was that there anyways she didn't know, but what she did know as soon as she forced her head to move was that she was in a room which she did not recognize.

Even the pillows and covers were white as she examined the area silently, sighing she lifted her right hand to see it was neatly bandaged up to the wrist.

Baffled she tilted her head only to wince as pain appeared the moment she moved.

Instinctively she moved her left hand to her head however what she felt were more bandages causing her to blink slowly.

More confusion settled in as she was still unsure about what had happened.

Did she pass out?

"Hey, you're awake" said a soft voice, curious Chloe turned her head to see Daniel standing by the door with a drink in his hand.

He soon made his way over to a chair that was by the left side of her bed and sat down.

Chloe on the other hand was frowning slightly as glared at him weakly.

"Why are you here?" she asked darkly, her voice faint before a series of dry coughs left her throat.
