Chereads / Death Chaser / Chapter 7 - Wisp

Chapter 7 - Wisp

Vulcula National High School

Gymnasium

As the green light faded, the people affected by the light continued their actions as if they did not witness Rei controlling the wind for the beams nor pushing away the things and people surrounding him.

The stone that Marlon has, is one of Gaea's Treasures. Every Treasure has the ability to alter the memories of the normal, what others see when they witness or got involve in a magical situations. They are also made with a seal. Even the treasures has great power, they can conceal its presence and power whether they are used or not.

This stone carries a powerful magic that can control anything on Earth but the stone is only a spec of a part of Gaea's gem. Which the gem has more power over the Earth when it is weild or used.

Gaea's Treasures are what they call on the things that the Titan Gaea, Earth Mother, has used during her time. It does not mean that she died but she has been asleep. Her Treasures are too powerful to be weild by a mortal being therefore she kept them hidden in her chest, which is now called Mt. Gaea, and protected them with magic with the help of Majicai.

The authorities continue their work: checking everybody if they sustain an injury, apply first aid when in need or deliver victims to the hospital, evacuating everyone to a safe place, and investigate the whole matter.

As Yuna and Rei were sent to the hospital, the team gather round being ask a few questions. The gem inside Marlon's pocket is blinking but he didn't notice it, neither the others too. Except for one. Looks at it without batting an eye and frowned a little but decided to ignore it.

Vulcuria General Hospital

Male Ward

Comfortable white bed are aligned separated by navy green curtains as a partition. In the corner window-side bed, Rei sat on the bed as he woke up looking outside the window. Estimating the position of the sun, it is just past noon. Just a few hours after the incident.

Recalling about what happened before he passed out and in his dream. Wind, light, nymph, Ariella... While thinking about it, the curtain is drawn as Roanna entered. "Thank goodness your awake. You alright? do you feel any pain?" she asked worriedly.

"What happened to me? And are Marlon and Yuna alright?", making sure that what Ariella said that they would not be able remember what exactly happened to him like controlling the wind.

"The doctor says you fainted from exhaustion. You should not over work yourself too much. Alright." Rei nodded in response and Roanna continues, "Marlon only had some scratches not to worry but Yuna lost too much blood. Thankfully, they had a stock of same blood type as hers so the blood lost is being replace. They finished stitching up the wound and a rest would help her in good shape again."

Hearing their situations made him quite relief. After some time talking: the school temporary closed for maintenance and repair, meet said to be delay, no casualties happened, and so on. Rei, already fine, rose from the bed adjusting his clothes and leave from the ward to meet the others with Roanna.

Private Room

Room 209

Few hours later, Yuna woke up. Examining around was dark and only a lamp illuminates the room. A dextrose and a blood pack hanging on an IV stand, connected to her left arm. Looking out by the window, stars and a full moon light the night.

She tried to get up but could not move. The few hours of rest only had the energy to regain her consciousness but not for her body to take action. Facing a clock hanging on the wall shows it is 9:24. Yuna moves her head a bit and she could see her mother sleeping on a sofa bed on her left side.

On her right was a table, on top has an untouched food in a plate consists of plain rice, a bowl of fish soup with vegetables covered by a transparent plastic cover and water bottle beside it. And in the corner of the table sat there was her phone and wallet. Yuna tried to reach it but cannot properly control her hand as it shakes.

Lying down as she gaze through the night letting her mind occupied by all the information she receive recently. After some time, Yuna did not notice that she had gone to sleep.

Next day of three in the morning, Yuna wakes up feeling warm in health but cold inside. Aware of D-sense, specifically in a hospital, something tells her that she has to get up and leave the room for a bit. Believing in her instincts, she got up using the IV stand to support her body. Surprisingly, Yuna is able to walk and quietly leave the room not waking her mother.

In the hallway dim lights open, Yuna wearing a hospital gown silently walking towards the Death she has sense. She realize that D-sense has improve that she knows the existence of Death Hecate told her about. After a few moments of walking passing one room to another she notices a blue light around the corner. Yuna stop around there and peak to know what was it.

A blue fire? No, it looks like a wisp. A size of an adult-fist wisp floating in front of the door. The wisp then enter the room just pass through the closed door. Yuna focus her sight to the room number and the name of the patient.

[Room 212 William Murphy]

Seconds later, someone came out of the door... More like something...

An old woman came out passing through the door, white hair, her face with many wrinkles saying she is too old. A green scarf on her shoulders over a beautiful floral dress and a cane in her right hand. But in her left hand she was holding someone's hand.

Following the old woman, it was a little boy holding her hand. Brown wavy hair, cheerful brown eyes and a big smile on his face. Wearing a white polo and black shorts like wearing a school uniform. It shows that the boy is having a fun time telling stories to his grandmother about what happened to him at school.

Before they went too far, Yuna noticed a fist-size wisp within the old woman. That was when she realized that the wisp was Death itself in a form of an old woman, someone that little William truly love that has passed away before.

Yuna returns in her room tired. As she slam her body on the bed she fell asleep again. Cries and mourn was heard from that room. Yuna was woken up by talks about little William had passed away. It is said that he was hospitalized because of his cancer.
