knock! knock!
There was a knock on the door, "come in" a manly voice replied from the inside the room. The nurse walked into the room towards the doctor and said. "please sir can I have the keys to the patient's room?" the doctor looked amazed. "you know very well we don't lock patient doors, as long a room has been occupied by a patient, the door remains open incase of emergencies!". The lady just looked as mesmerized as before, "then who locked the door ?" she replied in a stern tone. "can we go take a look?" the doctor said, leading her out of his office. The both headed towards the room Bruce occupied.
The lady raised her hands about to stab Bruce, Bruce watched in antipathy. Still confused about what to do, his hands weren't strong enough to fight for him, his limbs were already gone, some of his ribs were already broken, how was he supposed to fight for himself.
when he jumped out of the window, he hadn't been scared of death, maybe because he thought it was going to end quickly and he wasn't going to feel any pain, but right now the feeling he got alone from the dagger was enough to send him to the land of souls. The fear he got when he thought of the pain he will get when this dagger passed through his body was endless. He watched steadily as the dagger descended from its heights, everything around him had somewhat become slow, it was like the end of the world. wow!! 'what a feeling, it was like time itself waited for him'. Just as the dagger was about 15 centimetres away from his chest, he screamed!! with all the strength that he had, if this was how he was going to die so be it. After all, there was nothing he could do. His hands were weak, his feet were numb, his ribs were cracked and literally his whole body was dead, so that was the only option he was left with. After screaming for straight three seconds, he began to ponder on why the dagger hadn't stabbed him yet. Just ask he was thinking, he blacked out and fell back unconscious on his bed.
The scream had awakened the entire hospital, literally everyone that was present in the hospital at that particular time could hear the scream of this child. The ear piercing scream had swept the nurse through the door and smashing her on the wall just directly opposite Bruce's room door.
The doctor and the other nurse that were on their way towards Bruce's door were dumbfounded, what just happened here?? why was the nurse on the ground unconscious, why had she broken through Bruce's door forcefully and smashed again a wall, what exactly was going on here. At this time, some Human and mutants who came to the hospital to visit their own were already staring out their doors to see what had happened. "shit, what kind of spirit soul is that?? I would literally not fear running into bandits every now and then if I had such". There were envious mumurs along the corridor about the strength of the spirit soul, it was just too terrifying. Just with a scream, a child could accomplish such a feat. Sure the situation was questionable.
The doctor ran towards the nurse that was lying on the floor and checked her pulse rate, he looked at the other nurse and shook his head. He then walked into the room, he looked at Bruce bed, the kid was still sleeping. He had heard the scream, that was quite alright but didn't it come from this room? this kid is always full of surprises. The doctor walked closer to the bed slightly afraid and touched the child, checking his pulse rate. The child was okay like he had been like this all along. He then looked around the room, his eyes scanning through like a laser beam. Boom!! there it was, the cause of the scream. But why would a nurse want to kill this kid? Does death really need him that much? initially, he wanted to kill himself, now someone wanted to kill him. The doctor picked up the dagger looked at it for a while, then he also observed the empty plate on the trolley, so this was the case. Just how special was this kid?
Security personnel had already taken the case into consideration, they had already began findings on the assassin but it was all rendered null and void cause the assassin had already ended up dead. They couldn't even tell how she had died, everything for now remained a mystery to everyone including the doctors.
"What's so special about this child that we can't have peace in this hospital, his presence here alone posses a threat to our very own." a nurse whispered to another nurse passing the accident scene. The obviously weren't happy about the outcome of events. This child had come and suddenly all this had taken in less than 2 days, how were they supposed to take it calmly.
After Bruce woke up, he turned round and saw Lisa sitting by his side. "what happened to me?? what happened to the lady??" Bruce sat up straight now facing Lisa he then felt a sharp pain go through his spine. Instead of fighting it, he relaxed. "tell me what happened! I want to know" Bruce retorted. Lisa began, "I wasn't around, I guess you know that, but according to what the doctors said, a lady tried to kill you but somehow you survived. They said they don't know how you managed to survive but you came out without a scratch. Surely your blessed with something, but I don't know what it is. However, the emperor couldn't tell what you have, but according to him you're somewhat special!"
" am hungry, can I have something to eat before we continue the conversation?" Bruce asked. Lisa then shifted the trolley towards Bruce who took the initiative to feed himself. He was pretty quick in eating, even when the food was about to finish, he didn't show any signs of stopping. He just kept eating. Lisa was shocked, she hadn't seen someone eat like this before.
In just a few minutes, Bruce had already finished the food. He turned to Lisa asking politely, "can I have more, I am not filled?". Lisa still in shock, replied in a calm tone, " no problem I will send for more, I want you to look good and not malnourished".
Lisa came back into the room after some time, she then sat beside Bruce. "Sister Lisa, what am I?" Bruce asked in confusion. "well, from the little knowledge I have, they sounded more like fairy tales. Nobody really believed that such things exist. When the doctor checked your injuries, we all observed scales where you were supposed to be bleeding, and surgical blades could not pass through your injuries so it became a difficulty for them to operate on you. The scales of the snake was breakable, our technology strength could even break through the crocodiles'. The only creature that was rumoured to have such defence was the DRAGON. But however, like I said, it was like a fairy tale, the emperor said your special but didn't tell me what spirit soul you possess". "So does that mean I have a dragon soul??" Bruce asked. " like I said, we are not sure what you possess, but very soon we will find out as it manifests the more!". Bruce wasn't still satisfied with this answer, but the eagerness in his heart could not wait! "sister Lisa, why did the lady try to kill me??". Lisa looked at Bruce, in a tiresome manner. "I think you need to go rest right now, when you wake up we will continue with the conversation, okay??" just as Lisa was about to exit the room another nurse stepped into the room with food, Bruce then smiled in anticipation. Lisa exited the room.
