The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

outside this reality

POV Stella 

I woke up in a bed, not my bed, I was in a hospital bed, a doctor was standing above me, I think I know her. 

"Oh, you're finally awake," Doctor Natalie said, she seemed to have a glow about her, the world was almost black around her. "You had us worried for a moment," she added. 

"what happened?" I asked. 

"you exhausted yourself, too much use of that teleport power of yours," Natalie said. she walked over to the side and brought me a glass of water. "You need to be careful," 

I took the glass of water. "Thank you," I said before sipping on the water. 

the door opened and Rain ran in and hugged me. "I came as soon as I was told," I said hugging him back. 

"Don't worry Rain, I'm fine, still getting used to this enderkin stuff," I answered. 

Rain just hugged me tightly, was he crying? "Just I get worried easily now," he said. 

And hugged him back. "Don't worry, I'm fine I'll always be fine," 

POV Charlie 

as much as I wanted to stay here with Shizuku until she woke up, but I need to sleep, preferably in a bed and not this wooden chair but I didn't want to leave her on her own, Doctor Natalie opened the door. 

"You look tired, when did you last sleep properly?" She asked. 

"ummmm, about a 3...4....5 months.....yeah it's been a while," I said. 

Natalie looked at me then at Shizuku. "Go get some sleep, I'll keep an eye on her, I'll send a runner to you and her sister when she wakes up," 

I nodded. "Thanks, Natalie," I said. 

"Don't worry about it," She said. 

I made my way to my flat, just to find a new door to replace the one Stella broke.....that I didn't have a key for... "Oh come on!" I yelled out. "Why did no one give me a key!" 

I sighed and looked about when to my surprise, I saw Daryll, the ex-bandit, would be very useful here, he noticed me in my predicament. "let me guess, they put on a new door and didn't give you a key?" he asked. I nodded. "Yep, That's happened to me a few times, here let me," 

Daryll walked over, see I thought he would have done something like lockpicking the door. Nope, Daryll pulled out his handgun and shot the lockout, pushed the door open. "and we're in," 

"See I was hoping, you were gonna I don't know, not shoot the lock," I said. 

Daryll shrugged. "It was that, or sleeping on the floor,"

"Thanks, I guess," I said walking into my room. 

"See you tomorrow," Daryll called as I walked away. I went into my front room and made the sofa up for Meeps, a duvet and a pillow, I went over to the kitchen and went to make myself a tuna sandwich, then realised I didn't have any bread. 

I went back to my room, and looked at the very very comfortable-looking bed. "sleep," I mumbled. I rested my head and KNOCK KNOCK.

I rose from the bed and went over to the door slowly, I pulled it open, and there was Meeps, she'd clearly gone to Andrew as she'd been repaired. "hello Charlie," she said chirpily. 

"hello Meeps," I said with a tired smile. 

"are you okay?" she asked. 

"Just tired," I answered her. I pointed to the front room. "I made the sofa up for you," we walked into the front room.
