...

"No promises, though.."

Slowly opening your eyes, you blinked a few times to adjust to the bright light. Were you... alive? You were impressed you actually survived. But where were you, and what happened?

You sat up and rubbed your eyes. The urge to fall back on to your pillow and sleep all day was strong, but who knows how long you've been out already. You were probably going to go back to sleep anyways, but you might as well figure out where you were.

Clutching your stomach, you coughed up some blood. 'Great..'

You suddenly wished you did die back there with the demon.

Letting out a groan, you tried to remember the previous nights events. You remembered falling to the ground after the demon was beheaded.. but who decapitated it? You were definitely conscious last night. Right?..

You gripped the white sheets of your bed tightly in frustration. You looked up and scanned your surroundings. Maybe there was someone there who could tell you what happened.

The room you were in was quite large, with beds lining the walls on either side. There were little dressers in between them, and the door was on the far right. It smelled very fresh and light was pouring in through some barred windows on the wall behind you.

Made you feel like a prisoner, though.

Catching a flash of bright yellow to your left, you quickly turned to see a young boy sleeping on the bed next to yours. His hair was a vibrant yellow, which you've never seen before. On the bed next to him was a boar.

Wait.

You let out a sigh of relief as you saw it was a boar mask. You thought it was quite odd that they were wearing it. Well, whoever that was, they were knocked out as well.

They both seemed to have sustained pretty bad injuries, but not as bad as yours.

You sighed as you traced your fingers along the bandages that covered your torso. Your left foot was also heavily wrapped in bandages, and it was slightly throbbing.

You must have messed it up pretty bad. Well, scratch that, your whole body was messed up pretty bad. You never ceased to surprise yourself.

You flopped your head back onto your pillow with a thump, hoping to fall asleep again (though it was the middle of the day).

It was hard to ignore the pains in your body.

The door suddenly opened, jolting you back awake as you were just about to drift off. Well, fuck, there goes your nap.

A young girl with pigtails and blue butterfly hair clips walked in with a plate of food in her hands. You sat up and her expression lifted a bit as she saw you up.

"Oh! You're awake!" The girl exclaimed, picking up her pace as she set the food down on your bedside table.

You scratched the back of your head. "Yeah, I am.. how long was I out for?.." You asked, glancing up at her strikingly blue eyes.

"No less than a day. I was expecting you to sleep for a lot longer, considering your injuries.. you almost didn't make it." She said with a slight frown, but quickly replaced it with a smile, probably to not ruin the mood.

Less than a day, huh? You let your hand fall to your side as you glanced at your foot again. You were glad you were saved, but who knows how long you would be confined to this bed. Sitting still for a long time made you uncomfortable.
