Flames of Destruction

Part three: Unexpected Savior

What was it? I got stabbed, and I should be dead by now. But that's not it, is it? There's someone there, someone helping me.

I open my eyes slightly to see someone dragging me across the floor. My stab wound wrapped in what seems to be some sort of bandage tightly wrapped around the entry and exit points of the stab wound. My eyes close once again.

I wake up again on a bed. Who's helping me? I look around the room to see that it looks like a bedroom, there was a bookshelf, tv, and desk with a computer on it. I also see that the sun is up. But I was stabbed at midnight, just how long have I been out for?

I hear footsteps approaching the closed door, my body getting tense as if getting ready for a possible hostile person. As the door opened, I was not expecting a human girl to be there, looking right at me. The girl had dark brown hair and light blue eyes, she was wearing a white long sleeved shirt that looked a bit fluffy and a faded blue skirt with white leggings. She was holding a tray of food and the smell from it made it clear that it was just made.

"Oh! You're awake!" The girl said, "I hope you're able to eat, for being asleep for about a week, I would think you would be hungry"

"A week? I was sleep for a week?" I said shocked by the fact of being knocked out for a week, "And can I ask how I got here?"

"Well... I was walking to go find something that I lost, so I was checking near that weird walled gang hangout to go find it, and I found you a bit before I got there" She said "And do you want to explain what happened to you? You got shot in the shoulder and stabbed. So what happened to you?"

"Got in a fight with that gang. Got shot, and their leader stabbed me in the back" I explained to her, choosing to keep the fact that I'm a demon that burnt most of them away, a human does not need to know that.

"You got in a fight with them?! Why would you put yourself in danger like that??" She said, obviously angry.

"Orders are orders when it comes from the people above. Its my job" I said "And what's so important to you for getting so close to their hang out?" I asked hoping that she dose not question me more about The Order.

"I was looking for my lost dog" She explained. Just my luck. I got saved by a girl looking for a dog.

"Well, since you're awake now, why not tell me your name?" She asked me, calming herself down.

"Jira" I said replying to her question " Now can you tell me your name?"

"My name's Trisha. Nice to meet you, Jira. Now let's eat before this food gets any colder" Trisha says as she pulls the chair from the desk next to the bed and places the tray of food on her lap.
