Wizard Blood

Chapter 9

I woke up in a hospital bed, and worst of all I felt sick. My brain felt to big to fit in my head, my arms, legs and everything else felt to heavy for me to lift them. I was thirsty and my lips were dried. I looked around and saw my mother. Suddenly, she turned her gaze towards me.

"Oh my dear! You finally wake up," she said.

For a moment I didn't remember anything. Well, I knew who I was and I recognized my mother so that didn't mean I lost my memory completely. I was confused, what took me here?

"Mother, why am I here?" I said.

She hesitated for a while before talking, a haunted look appeared in her face but not even that obscured how beautiful she was.

"The doctor says you...you are dehydrated, you were with a very low pressure on the first day...you need to stay in bed and recover. Also eat a lot of sugar to gain energy again. But we couldn't really feed you because of your state. You wouldn't wake up...."she finally said.

"How many days have I been like this?" I said.

She hesitated again before talking. "Four."

I have been four days in this bed without being able to wake up. For what I heard I wasn't in any good condition, and I'm hundred percent sure my mother isn't telling me the whole truth. Four days? What happened?

"I'll go get the doctor, and call your father," she said while she went to the door. But then she stopped "Don't do anything. Just stay still. I'll be right back. Okay?"

"Yes, mother," I said. She left and I just stayed in the room lost in my own thoughts. I was staring blankly, just thinking and trying to remember.

Suddenly, like a bomb everything came back. The combat at the academy brought me here, my fighting with Leslie brought me here, and I felt this way because of the extreme amount I used of magic without a wand. It had been exhausting and I wasn't used to using magic without a wand. Now, I really understand why we use wands. But after all, I don't regret what I did because Leslie got what she deserved.
I still can't believe this. I can easily admit I don't like her, but I wouldn't get to the extreme of almost killing her! I know we aren't best friend, or even friends. We don't get along because of what Jose Miguel did to her. It isn't my fault, but rumors always got to us that she didn't like Kennedy, nor Bryan, nor Miguel, nor me. Why? I don't know. My only guess has been because of what happened the first day of school, with the incident of her getting in the guys bathroom.

Honestly, I could had gotten over that after a few weeks. But her? It looked like the anger towards us, especially me increased each day. She once "accidentally" dropped her juice on me, and bumped with me in the hall throwing my books to the ground. Also turned out the lights in the bathroom and locked it with some spell, I could only break after a million tries. I also suspected of her being the one who put bugs in my backpack once. Personally, I haven't done anything to her. Well, maybe a revenge for the juice only, I remember making the garbage can drop everything in her head that day after she dropped the juice on me. But the other times, I ignored her just letting things go. She's just not worth my time, just a novice... Or probably not just a novice. For the development she has she can't be a novice wizard. There's no way that what I have learned in years, she just learned it in six months.

Is it possible that she practiced magic before? Why not admit it, rather than be popular for being a novice who uses magic as a high level magic user? Is she hiding something? What can it be?

My thoughts were interrupted by my mother and the Doctor.

"Well, well, sleeping beauty woke up," said the doctor. He was pretty good looking, blond hair, light brown eyes. But I definitely didn't like his jokes, neither the amount of shots he gave me after a check.
