In 3 minutes, her body is fully healed. But she still unconscious. It might be bad to leave her in this dark scary alley.
"I guess we have to get outta here" I lift her body up and manage to get her on my back, then look around the alley to make sure it's safe to leave. Then I start walking.
"Wait, where should I take her..."
***
"God what have I done..." I said while staring at my bed. Yep, I took her to my apartment. I mean, I can't think of anything else beside this. It's already late night to leave her on the alley, and there's a chance that the danger she faced still around there. I can't ask Rishia's help at this hour, moreover I don't know how to explain the situation.
"Guess I'll just wait for her to wake up" I took a seat on my desk beside the bed and open up a snack I bought from the convenience store.
Anyway, I'm not an ordinary person. I think... I started to realize that I have some kind of healing power when I was around 6 years old. That time I was trying to save a little kitten that got injured after trying to get down from the tree on it's own. I feel sad that it ended up scratch it's own ankle after having a courage to get down by it self, so I pray that that their leg would be cured. That time I saw my palm glow and the kitten got healed, I freak out then tried to tell my friend and family but they think I've gone nuts. In the end I gave up and try not to think about it again.
"Oh, right." I pull out something from my pocket. It's a bow-shaped pendant. I found it around the time I saved the kitten. I've been thinking that it has some kind of connection to my power, and I'm keeping it as a good luck charm.
"Mhn..." a small voice comes from the girl. I guess she's waking up now. She slowly opens her eyes, her lashes fluttering like the wings of a delicate butterfly.
"Wakey wakey, you'll grow mushrooms on your head," I said, trying to lighten the mood as she stirred. I don't know if it's a good idea to crack jokes while waking her, though.
It wasn't. As soon as she was fully awake, she jumped up and summoned a sword out of thin air, pointing it directly at me. The blade gleamed menacingly under the dim light. I reflexively raised my hands, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Wow, wow, wow, calm down. I'm sorry! I don't know what pissed you off, but I'm sorry!" I quickly spoke, half scared. Everything happened so fast, I just realized I ended up sitting on the floor, my back against the wall.
"Ah!" she started speaking, then quickly put away her sword before it disappeared into thin air. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," she said, her voice softer now.
I got more than startled, you know? I almost pissed my pants! She then looked around the room with a confused expression.
"Where is this?" she asked, her eyes scanning every corner of the room. Oh man, will she get mad if she knows she got kidnapped into someone's apartment? Wait no, I didn't kidnap her, right?
