Stuck In Another Reality? Darn.

Chapter 6.

You didn't know what to expect upon waking up after a hella long nap... you suspected it was either nighttime or maybe even the day after. However, whatever you were picturing, it certainly wasn't a pillow and a blanket fort around your body as if you caught a cold. 

You quickly began wheezing for breath, feeling like you were suffocating as you attempted to rip off the blankets- only getting them half off, but it was enough, so you weren't dying of suffocation.

"Oh my! Are you alright?" Spoke a gentle voice. "I feel like I might come down with a fever if I don't get these off." You gruffly replied.

"You certainly have the men taking care of you wrapped around your finger if they're treating you like this." The voice finished with a giggle.

You half-opened your eyes, being too lazy and sluggish to bother opening them. Only to see what seemed to be a sailor girl. In your room. With you basically naked. "Uhhhh, I appreciate you visiting, but I'm afraid I'm not on the menu for girls - don't get me wrong, you are quite cute, but I'm not into girls." You rambled, semi hoping that you would scare her away. 

She snorted and shook her head. "I'm not here to give you any gestures like that. You see, Kaeya was out of breath when he came to me and asked me to heal you." Ohh...that made a lot more sense than what you were thinking. You smiled sheepishly and apologized. She merely waved it off with a smile - you did have head trauma after all.

"Sooo, then Ms. Healer- I don't believe I have your name." 

"Oh, you're correct! My apologies. My name is Barbara, one of the most famous healers in Mondstadt! It was quite odd, having a Calvary Captain summon me here when the owner of this place doesn't quite like me. He always seems to be frowning at me."

You frowned. "But you're such a sweetheart! It should be a decree that no one is allowed to dislike you! Oh, and my name is [Name]!" Barbara giggled. "So, they both said you were injured? May I see it so I can work my magic, [Name]?" 

You smiled fondly at her, reminded of Himiko at that moment. "Of course! It's pretty obvious where it happened with the bandage wraps on my head, so just peel them off."

She nodded and suddenly donned quite a serious face as she gently grabbed the bandages and unwrapped them, grimacing at the amount of blood that had collected. She prodded at the injury, immediately stopping when she saw you flinch.

"Hehe, sorry... I got it yesterday, I think - or maybe it happened today...so it's still quite sore." 

"No worries, and sorry about that. I had to gauge how much magic I had to use." You startled when she sat back and unclipped the book from her belt... causing you to mentally groan as you saw another Vision. It was different, but so similar to the one Kaeya had - thankfully, this included the people it reminded you of. You didn't need any more memories of your probably dead classmates ('friends', your traitorous mind whispered) while you were hurt.

Nodding her head, she closed the book and leaned you into a sitting position before floating her hand just behind your injury. You could see the glow and feel it as her powers got to work, soothing and healing the injury - and a minute later, it was done. She clapped her hands together and cheered, "And you're all done! How do you feel?" 

You sat there as amazement and wonder flowed through your veins. After processing what just happened, you gained sparkles in your eyes and threw your hands up - "That was SO COOL! It looked amazing! How did you do that?"

You looked like an innocent child to Barbara, who patted your head. "As I said magic! To be specific, water magic." "So magic really does exist in this world?!" You asked with glee, imagining Himiko's reaction to it - oh man, you had to tell her about this place.
