Blue Exorcist: New Life

Chapter 39

((Em's POV))

We all waited patiently for a little while. The whole room was in a dead silence as the two worked.

I stood next to Rin and Izumo who looked scared as well. Our friends were dying one by one.

Suddenly Sarah sighed as she sat down in a chair. Yukio also gave out a sigh as well.

"What? Is he going to be okay?" Bon asked frantically. He didn't go to sleep because he wanted to make sure.

"He'll be alright. Thank god," Sarah said.

"He'll just have to be on crutches and have bandages on at all times... But if we would have come about an hour later then it would have been too late," Yukio adjusted his glasses before walking over towards his sleeping girlfriend, and laid a careful hand on her forehead.
"If Shiemi hadn't done anything then Carter would have been dead the night he got wounded."

I glanced around to see that the tension in the room was released. Finally we knew that Carter was going to at least survive.

"So he's going to be crippled? For how long?" Bon  asked.

"Honestly, we're not sure. He could be out for two months or a whole year! It depends because he isn't awake yet to tell us anything," Sarah explained.

"Say," Shima smirked. "Why are you so interested in how Carter is doing all of a sudden Bon? I know you guys are close pals, but when I broke my ankle you didn't even care!"
His face then lite up, and then turned  mischievous.
"Do you like him?!?!"

"What?! Are you kidding! Of course I don't!" Bon snapped but his face told a whole other story.

I laughed a little bit as well at Bon's red face. Everyone was now laughing and not sad anymore, all talking about happy things that have happened in life.

A groan though interrupted all of our conversations. My eyes bolted towards where Carter was. His eyes were now open.

"Carter! Are you okay?!" Bon gasped.

"Yeah...I think so... I don't exactly remember everything..." He wheezed.

"Can you stand?" Yukio asked.

"Try asking me again later because I feel like jello," Carter gave out a weak laugh. "And I'm starving as well. And my tongue feels like sandpaper."

Izumo handed Bon a water jug to give to him, and I had to go get some rations since that's the only thing we had.

"Sorry Carter. I know some fries with barbecue sause probably sounds up your ally at the moment, but all we got is rations," I gave him a side smirk as he started to sit up.

"Thanks guys."
He took the water and rations and began to eat with the help of Bon at points.

Rin surprised all of us when he said,

"We need to split up again."

"Rin, that's crazy. We can just stay here for a while," I said.

"Em, we still got to find Igor! He's on the move! His demons are still attacking the city! Don't you want to end all of this?"

"Well..." I sighed. "Yeah, but what were you thinking?"

All eyes were on him now. Rin probably liked this attention since he got a crazy smile on his face.

"Alright! So my plan is that three groups will go out and do stuff. A group will go to the healing facility to take care of the injured and weak. Another group will finally take Vicky's body somewhere. And the last will go find the exorcists to form a team to find Igor!" He smirked. "Honestly guys, this is the only idea I have ever came up with that I am extremely confident in."
