The Wolf's Heart Of Change

Chapter 18 - Hospital Havoc

Freddy was the first to wake up with Chica second. 'He' and Monty did not show any signs of moving any time soon. Andy came in, about to announce something but stopped himself upon seeing the two remaining sleepers and instead quietly whispered.

Andy: "I think I'll come back later."

He then closed the door behind him. Chica looked at the sleeping pair.

Chica: "Should we wake them? It is almost midday."

'Him': "I woke up as soon as Andy opened the door."

Chica: "Oh."

Monty: "And I woke up from all the talking."

Chica: "Sorry."

Monty: "It's good. Best sleep I've had in a long while."

Freddy: "That is good."

'Him': "Andy can come back and say what he was going to say now."

The door flung open.

Andy: "You summoned me?"

'Him': "Yes. For what news do you bring?"

Andy: "After a night of little sleep, I bring you the knowledge of our beloved wolf's whereabouts."

'Him': "This is news I must hear. Please do tell."

Andy: "She is literally in the nearest hospital. I don't know her condition, though."

'Him': "Location is enough to find out condition."

Andy: "When do you plan on going?"

'Him': "Now?"

Andy: "Pizzaplex is closed today anyway, so yea, you can do that. In fact, Pizzaplex is closed all this week at least."

Chica: "Let's get ready then!"

'Him': "May I remind you that I have just woken up. I am still tired."

Monty: "WAKEY WAKEY!"

'Him': "I said, tired, not half awake."

Monty: "Oh. Well, I tried."

'Him': "I appreciate your efforts."

Chica: "You want to wait a little bit before going?"

'Him': "No. I would prefer to go now."

Andy: "Get yourself ready, and let's go then."

?: "She is in the room on the right, though only one of you is allowed in the room at a time, sorry."

Andy: "Thanks. I think you go first."

'Him': "Me?"

Andy: "Yes you! You need it more than us and she will probably want to see you more."

'Him': "I... I guess so."

Chica: "Well, what are you waiting for? Get in there and see her!"

'Him': "I'm going, I'm going."

Walking into the room and closing the door behind him, he saw some purple fur sticking out from the covers on the bed. He went over to it, staring at it for a second, then poking it. It wriggled around a little bit, then went still. It wriggled around some more, and a head poked out.

'Him': "What are you doing?"

Roxy: "It's cold out there. It's warm under the covers. Me snuggle with tail under the covers for more warm."

'Him': "Okay?"

Roxy: "You look dead."

'Him': "I haven't slept. The others don't know that though."
