Hit Start (Haunted)

Chapter 12

The Almost Death

*Rei's POV*

It was about 3 o'clock that I heard the scream. I was just sleeping, dreaming about what was going on in the real world. No one even noticed we were gone. I'm sure though that they know were not there right now. Anyway, as soon as I hear it, I jump out of bed and head towards the sound. The sound is, of course, coming from Karma's room. I sigh walking in. 

He's laying on the bed. He doesn't look awake. I just asume that he woke up screaming and then, relising it was all a dream, he went back to sleep.

"Dude. What's wrong?" I ask. He doesn't answer. I repeat and he doesn't still respond. I go over to check if he's fine. I look over him and am shock at what I see. Blood is rushing out of the knife wound in his chest. I stood there shocked for a moment. Then, relising I was just standing here doing nothing, I quickly put him over my sholder and ran with him to the hospital.

Once I got there, I quickly put him on one of the beds and went to get one of the nurses. I looked everywhere but couldn't find anyone in. I ran back. I looked at Karma. He looked paler than usual. I leaned down to his mouth to see if I can feel his breath. I feel only a bit of it. I lean down to where his heart is. I can faintly hear his heart beat.

I look around for anything to help me stop the blood. Then my eyes land on the medical tape. I remeber that you have to put preasure on the wound to stop the bleeding. I run over to where it is on the shelf. I reach up and my hand clasps around it. I bring it down. I run back to the bed that Karmas on. I quickly wrap the medical tape around the wound, tring to make it as tight as I can.

Then I hear someone come in. I look up to find Sarcasm. The look on her face is fear. She's probably thinking I did this. I would also. I already did. 

"I-I-I can't belive it." I faintly hear her say. I feel tears come to my eyes.

"I-I didn't do this." I say looking at Karma's unconsice body then back to Sarcasm.

"Monster." She wispers. She stay's standing there for a moment. I can tell that she's about to cry. She then runs out the door, most likely about to tell everyone what she thought I did. I then feel the tears falling from my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I wisper to Karma, I then run out of the room, going to my room. I run down several empty hallways. The only sounds that I could hear were my own footsteps and my tears falling. Once I get to my room I herry inside and lock the door. I then slid down the door. I put my head inbetween my knees. I then burst into tears. After a few minutes I hear running footsteps. The footsteps come to a stop at my door. 

I hear them try to open the door. Then they start to bang on the door.

"Go away! Just go away!" I yell, not bring my head up.

"Just let us in!" A voice says.

"No! Just go away!" I yell. Then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up to find Karma. My eyes widden.

"Wha-. Karma your alive. But." I say.

"I'm not the real Karma. I'm just a figment of your imaganation. But I'm hear to tell you that I'm not dead. I may seem it but I'm not. So open the door." The fake Karma says. He then disapers. I then stand up. They're still banging on the door. I then slowly open the door. I find almost everyone there.

"Finily you opened the door. We thought you never would." Jigoku says whiping invisabale dirt off his clothes, "We came to tell you that Karma isn't dead. But he will be in a coma for a bit. But he will wake up in a while." I nodded.

"We also wanted to know if it was you who help bandage up Karma?" One of the girls asks me. I nod. They all look at each other.

"Well then. One of the nurses would like to see you." Jigoku said. And with that they all just took off. A few minutes after, I start off to the hospital, wondering if I did something wrong and that is why I was called. When I got to the dobble doors that told me that I was there, I opened them. There were at least 4 nurses by Karma's bedside. They all looked up when I opened the doors.

"Oh so the boy has come." One of them said.

"Yes we thought he would never come." Another said.

"So you're the one who patched Karma up?" Another asks. I gulp and nod.

"Well you did a good job boy." The last one said. I was surprised.

"How would you like to help us take care of your friend here?" The first one said. I stayed silent trying to decied for a minute. Then I relised that they were all still waiting for my answer.

"Uh sure. What should I do first?" I ask. The second one looked shocked.

"Well, right now you could just watch him. If his bandages need to be changed then change them." The first one said.

"How do I know if I need to change them?" I ask.

"Well if you see the blood then they need to be changed. But no matter what they need to be changed every hour." They all said. Then they walk out the door, leaving me alone with Karma. An hour passed and I had to change the bandages. I went to where they were placed and set them down on the table next to Karmas bed.

I then started to take off the dirty bandages. I heard the door open but I didn't bother to look at it. I just started to put the new bandages on. The blood had stopped flowing from the wound now.  I wrapped the bandages around the wound after washing off the dried blood. After I'm done, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump, looking behind me to find Sarcasm behind me.

"Do you have any idea of who did it?" She asks.

"No. He was uncountous when I found him." I say, "We'll have to wait until he's awake again." I say, looking down on Karma's uncoustouis body.
