A short chapter, sorry I've been very busy haven't been able to write, I shall write more and better chapters in the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I came too all I saw was a bright sea of light, probably sunlight, streaming through my eyes.
Needless to say I was blinded.
Then I heard a rustling sound, a bit of shouting, and the world went dark once more.
——————————————————————————-
I woke up again, but this time it was dark with a bit of glowing.
I tried to turn my head to see what was glowing, and it hurt so bad that I nearly pass out from the immense pain.
I hear someone shifting in a chair, only to lift up.
I heard the person walking toward me, they probably knew I woke up.
Closing my eyes for a minute, I opened them to find Lilia standing over me staring into my face.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her face inconceivably pale. There were tears forming in her eyes and I knew she was crying because of me.
I tried to speak, but the only thing that came out was a long creaky croak. Lilia stood up straight and walked away only to return with a glass of water.
She held it too my lips, and I drank like I had never had a drink of water in my whole life. I was only stopped when Lilia took the glass away and in a low saddened voice told me to drink slower.
I listened, drinking the glass slowly, but I still drained it within seconds.
I stared straight into Lilia’s eyes.
“How long have I been out”
Lilia burst into tears, reaching out with my hand I grabbed her back and pulled her toward me, rubbing her back as I did so.
“Yo-You’ve been out fo-for two wee-weeks”
Lilia told me through her torrent of tear drops.
I lifted up my head, the pain was there, but I pushed through it. Gently lifting Lilia off of me, I lifted off the blanket.
I was missing a few toes, and had a few scars on my torso.
I snorted, no surprise there.
I once again looked into Lilia’s beautiful eyes and asked
“How long until I can leave?”
