This choice: You hear a voice in your head • Go Back...Chapter #5A panicked voice by: Ryan   ”Hello? Can anyone hear me? Please. I’m trapped in here?”
Jonathan looked around for a moment, wondering if his earlier scream had attracted attention, but the only sounds he heard was the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and squirrels and his own panicked breathing.
”Hello? Anyone, please help. I’m trapped in my own body, and someone or something else is controlling it.”
The voice was in his head.
“Hello? Can you hear me?” he almost spluttered at the feminine voice coming from his mouth, identical to the one claiming to be trapped in his head
The voice went silent for a moment before responding.
”I don’t know who or what you are or why you stole my body, but please give it back. I don’t have anything to pay you back with, but Ican get anything that exists in nature.”
The voice was pleading.
“I’m sorry,” Jonathan said, feeling guilt and sorrow for what had happened even if it wasn’t his fault “I was in an accident, I think. Then I woke up in your body. I don’t know how I got here or how to fix it.”
”So I’m stuck as a prisoner in my own body forever?” she asked
“What’s your name?” Jonathan asked
”Emiri,” the elf said
“Well, Emiri, I don’t know how I ended up here or how to fix it, but I will figure out how to fix you,” he promised.
”But what will happen to you, then?” she asked, concern in her tone ”You don’t have another body. Won’t you then be trapped in here when I regain control?”
Jonathan hadn’t thought of that, but he put on a brave smile. “I might already be dead. That doesn’t give me the right to steal someone else’s life. If we can solve the body issue, then we will. One way or the other, I’ll get you your body back.”
”My gratitude to you. If we don’t have a solution, I promise I’ll keep looking for you after that.”
Jonathan smiled genuinely.
“I’ll hold you to that, Emiri. Now, where are your clothes?”
”My clothes?” she asked in confusion “Oh, like humans and dwarves wear? I don’t have any. Why would I need them?”
“Protection from cold? Branches cutting you? Modesty.”
Jonathan hears laughter in his head
”Nature provides. Why should we put barriers between us and her embrace? No, we do not wear these garments you speak of. Some of our warriors wear armour in war, but nothing too heavy or thick.”
Jonathan gulped. He would have to be naked until he got Emiri her body back? That was going to be strange and awkward.
“What now?” he asked
