I was in the dark for a long time, last thing I remembered was the boundless space around me and then puff suddenly everything ceased. It must have been my last dream before being consumed by that darkness or was that also a dream? was this a nightmare am I in my bed right now? but no matter how much time I waited nothing happened I couldn't wake up.
Finally, after an eternity of waiting I started to feel something like pieces of myself were being pieced together again, a while later my sense of smell came back, a burnt smell and iron pierced my nostrils, the feeling in my body was next, I felt drained and lethargic and I couldn't move yet, then my hearing came back.
[sob.....sob] [drip...drip...drip...]
A girl's voice? crying? wasn't I dead? what's happening? Was it just a dream?
Eventually, I could move, My eyelids felt heavy but I managed to open my eyes slowly light rushed in and I could distinguish a silhouette my eyes slowly adapted and I could finally see.
[sob.....sob..sob.....] [drip...drip..]
Kneeled down beside me a pearl white-skinned girl with silvery hair and pretty crystal blue eyes, tears were falling down her face and onto me.
It was heartbreaking, I could feel her sadness, sorrow, anger and helplessness.
"Are you okay? why are you crying?"
I might have spooked her because she jumped back she had a pale look and widened eyes.
"You.....you're alive."
"Am I? Isn't this heaven?"
I felt fine but my body felt heavy and weirdly desynchronized.
[cough] He suddenly coughed a mouthful of blood.
"Your...you're wound."
She pointed with fear at my chest I slowly looked down there was a gaping hole on my chest.
His eyes rolled up and he passed out.
------------------------
"He's still alive call someone we need a doctor!!!!"
She was about to scream for help again when a glowing yellow light sparkled she looked down at his chest, a bright yellow aura surrounded his wound and was slowly closing in, he knew that aura she had seen it countless times before, it was holy magic, but how? who is he even? someone of his level shouldn't be able to heal so fast and even less unconsciously, regeneration ability? but then why don't I know him, someone with such skills can't be unknown and even more if it's a holy magic skill.
She saw Jake and a couple of other people rushing towards them, she quickly took off her coat and covered his already half-sealed wound.
They arrived and lifted him up, before they started going toward the hospital she stopped them in their tracks.
"Contact a doctor fast and send him to room ninety-nine in dorm one, don't remove the jacket."
"but.."
She raised her voice.
"listen to me...!!!"
He nodded and started rushing to her dorm, one of his guys called a doctor.
From now on she would always watch over him closely and protect him from prying eyes, she was his friend after all, no one would snatch him from her she would repay this life debt to him, his mind, body and soul were hers now, this time she wouldn't let them take him away.
--------------------------------------------------
"Doctor, will everything be okay? will there be any problem?"
"For the tenth time yes, he will, stop asking me."
I started to hear some murmurs but I couldn't really understand what they were saying, but I could pinpoint some words from the exchange.
"He will be okay, he just needs some rest and you need it to so you should go."
Just as he was drifting off, he heard the girl's voice, barely audible.
"I won't leave, it's all my fault this is the least I can do."
"You getting tired won't solve anything."
"But."
"No buts. I'm a very busy man i have many things to do and you are bothering me constantly i have a guild to manage countless affairs to handle."
"At least...."
"I only came here in consideration of your father's friendship with me, stop wasting my time, everything will be fine so go and rest."
There were loud steps followed by a loud door slam.
(Sigh)
"Good luck boy you need it, don't end up like the rest."
After a while, I started feeling heavy again tiredness overcome and I passed out again.
