" Um... before when I was running along the streets I saw myself getting carried away in the ambulance... I mean why am I there when I'm here?" I asked. " You are here but you are there because your soul is right now here but your body is there." she said. " I still don't get it LIly I mean did you ever live in this world before or did you be born in heaven or something. Sorry, I mean this is none of my buisiness I am going through but I am really curious. You know?" I said with a little hesitate. " It's okay. You don't have to apologize after all you have the right to know about me... I think we should get the time to know each other a little bit while we walk and arrive there." she said in a nice tone in her voice. I was glad she understood me. I am so glad. I wish I could hug her or something I felt so happy and so gleeful that I wanted to jump around and hug her and give her a gift or something, but I knew it would have been very awkward and disturbing for her. It might have been. So I decided to calm myself down a little. "Okay." I said. "First of all, I did live in this world once. I had friends and attended school like you used to. I wasn't born from heaven or anything. I was found in a barn stable. That is what the others told me. I wish I got the chance to meet my mother before getting sent here to Zathura. I sometimes see her in my dreams wanting to tell me an important message. But I never get to hear clearly what she is talking about." she said. " No way! You got those dreams right?" I asked. " Right" she replied. " I got dreams like that too." I said. " You mean dreams about our mother warning us about something?" she said. "Yeah! What do you think she is warning us about?" I asked. "I don't know but one thing I do know is that whatever she is trying to tell us is extremely important." That is when I saw Lily crying. I did not know what to say. I hugged her so she can feel comfortable. I felt bad bringing up the subject of our mom to Lily. Lily can be sensitive. We kept walking until we saw a big bloody red fire devil holding a boy who seemed like he was unconscious. The side of his hip was bleeding everywhere. I was about to do something to the devil like cast a spell on it or something but just then before I did anything I heard Lily saying that I shouldn't do it. She read my mind again. " I'm sorry sis but I have to save that boy. I'm sorry." I said. Then I ran straight toward the devil. The devil glanced up and gave me a evil grimace. " Hi there! I guess there is going to be more food in my tray." he said with a happy tone. I pulled out my sword and stabbed the devil in the tail. That's when the devil gave me a big hit with his tail. My sword swooped out of my hands. My hands were both bleeding like bad. But I did not have time to worry about that now. " Shit! " I swore. Then a plan started building up in my brain. jumped on the devil't back and took out my sharp pen and threw it in the devil's mouth. The devil collapsed with a big scream then turned into red golden dust. Then the boy fell to the ground. " Is he dead? " I asked to Lily because she was an expert at nursing. She told me that she too CPR classes and is training to be a nurse or a doctor. She came up to me and said." I think he is just unconscious. See! Look! I can feel his pulse with my finger." she said. " What should we do? Should we go in that cottage there? It looks empty." I said.
" Okay " Lily replied. " Come on pull him up in the count on three 1..2..3.." Then we both hauled the boy over our shoulders. His hip was really injured. The devil's claws were very sharp which caused that injury. " Open the door Reeda" she said. " I opened the door and saw a brown leather dusty couch. There were 3 old small book shelves. It was filled with dusty old books. The cottage was empty. That was a good sign. We laid him on the couch. " What she we do now?" I asked worriedly. " Um... look for toilet paper in that washroom door." she said. I opened the door and when I looked inside the toilet there were dead flies. It was gross. Luckily there was clean toilet paper in the cabinet under the dirty sink. I pulled it out and came running out the washroom. " Here!" I said. " Ugh the washroom is discusting." I said with a scrunched up face. I felt like I was going to peuk. Lily pulled off his shirt and examined the injury first. " Get that bucket and fill it up with water and find a sponge or a piece of cloth in the kitchen." Lily directed. " Okay" I said. " Thanks!" she replied. I headed for the kitchen to get the bucket and fill it up with water first. I put the bucket in the kitchen sink and let the water flow down into the bucket. " Should I do it with cold water or hot water?" I asked. " Warm water please." she replied. I filled the bucket with warm water and got the sponge laying beside the sink. I went to Lily and gave the bucket with warm water and a sponge. I even found a cloth after so I gave both the sponge and the cloth. " Here" I said. Lily put the sponge in the warm water to let the water soak inside the soft delicate foam. Then, she hauled it out and squeezed a big amount of water on the wound. Afterwards, she took out a potion out of her bag. The potion had a pink bright colour. " What is that? I asked curiously. " It is a potion that helps injuries heal faster. You only put a small drop on the wound because it is very powerful." she said with a smile. " Cool!" I said. She put a small drop on the boy's wound and wrapped the wound with toilet paper. The bleeding apparently stopped after. I filled more water in the bucket so that we can clean up his face. His face was covered with dirt and mud. I brought a bucket of warm water back. Just when Lily put the sponge nside the water to soak up some water, I asked " Can I wash his face up Lily please?" I asked. " Okay you can clean up his face while I find some food outside. I'll be back after an hour okay? Don't go anywhere. Remember we have our cell phones if we our in danger." she said. " Okay." I replied.
