DID I SEARCH THE APARTMENT?

Don't Search The Apartment

"The groan of metal girders bending decided for me. I hobbled as fast as I could to the lobby several flights of stairs below, and then out into the street.

I stood on sand, silver in the moonlight. Their was a feeling, a memory maybe. This didn't seem right.
I walked a few feet towards the silvery disk and then stopped. I looked at my leg. Their it was again. The idea that something wasn't right.
I tried to focus on the thought but it was like trying to hold onto mist. The thought evaporated.
I could feel the presence of another thought. I could almost make it out. A name. My name... I closed my eyes tightly. I could see the shape of something. A letter? An 'L', I was sure.

Another image began to form but evaporated at the sound of her voice.

'I have found you! But their is so little time, they will come for me, they will know what I am doing already. You must come to me...'

I opened my eyes and there, where the disk of the moon had been, floating in the air above me, was an angel.
The glow from her was so strong that I could not make out her face but, but their were wings, glowing silver-white light like the rest of her but the shape was undeniable.

'Who are you?' Was all I could stammer.

'You must come for me. But once you leave here you will forget again. Listen to me. All that you see is not what it seems.
They will come for you too. You cannot let them find you, if they find you they will kill you...' I felt something on my left
palm. like a cold coin. I opened my hand and saw a tattoo of an open eye.
'It will sense them before you see them. It fears them, it knows the things they are capable of, the things they have already done.
This is important. If the eye closes they are close bye and you must get as far away as you can. You may not know who they are but they always travel together, one cannot live without the other. But do not think this alone will keep you safe.
They will hunt you, they will never stop until they have you. I am growing weak and their is still so much to tell you.
Their are a few like us; they will not know you and they may not be trustworthy but I know that some fight for the same reasons as we...' her voice began to grow quieter.
'I am running out of time. You have to find me. But you must not forget what I have told you.' she paused for a moment, a moment that seemed as precious as life itself, then she handed me something. I took it without quetion, wanting to reach for her hand but knowing she was still so far away.
'The ring will help you remember what I have told you. It will help you remember me.'
Her image began to flicker, 'I am so tired. I will not be able to come this long again. Saving you drained all my strength.
Remember, things are not what they seem but they can still hurt you, even... kill you. I will not have the strength to save you another time.
You MUST come for me. You must come for me-' The last words were almost inaudiable, then she was gone.

Her words swirled in the void of my mind, my head felt like it was being used as a drum. Then I fainted.

I woke up slowly, my mind daring my body to do anything else. My eyes were still closed but I could feel that I was in darkness.

WHAT DID I DO?
