Lazarus Rising (On hiatus)

Chapter 4 : Introductions

earlier
Lachlan shot awake, his body groaning as he sat up. his head was throbbing with pain and he turned his head to view his surroundings. He appeared to be in some kind of hospital room but there was no machinery and the far wall had shelves covered in strange boxes and jars of all shapes and sizes, he could see through some of them but he couldn't make hide nor hair of their contents. The rest of the room was obscured by a curtain but he instantly knew who was behind it, his mind was suddenly flooded with memories of the gunfight and the "escape" he immediately threw off his blanket to inspect his body. "But that's impossible" he said aloud "I ... I'm fine"
"SAVING LIVES!" came shooting through the room from beyond the door and all of a sudden everything went quite. "He sounds pissed" came a familiar voice, this time from beyond the curtain "Lilly?" Lachlan replied "are you ok?""I'm fine, for some reason"there was a rustling of fabric and then the curtain was withdrawn to reveal Lilly standing there in the same loose fitting plastic cloths that Lachlan was clad in. she was holding up the shirt revealing her bare stomach as she stared down in deep thought. "not even a scar ... isn't that weird. I mean I was shot right I'm not remembering things wrong""um yeah, I'm fairly certain you were shot"Lilly walked over to him, pushing him across until there was room enough for her to sit next to him. She lowered her shirt and took her seat. "be honest with me" she said, her brow furrowed in contemplation. "have I gone crazy""I hope not" Lachlan replied a smile appearing on his face "Cos if you are we're going crazy together""Isn't that romantic""I know right"
the door clicked open and the man in the coat stepped in, except he wasn't wearing a coat. "I believe introductions are in order" he said closing the door behind him and clapping his hands together. Lilly and Lachlan stared at him blankly. "My name is Devyn Hawkshade and ...""Bullshit" Lachlan interjected"I'm sorry?""That's not your name""Yes it is""No it isn't""Yes it i..."Lilly spoke up "How come we're not dead, or at least injured" it was her turn to interrupt now."To be perfectly honest ... magic"there was a moment of silence before Lachlan and Lilly burst out laughing then stopped as they remembered the "gun" fight. "Really?" Lilly said, her mockery transforming into genuine intrigue"Yep, really" Devyn confirmed as he moved to the foot of the bed,"know, we need to have a talk"

"yes, yes I think we do." Lachlan said straightening up. Lilly nodded and Devyn ran his fingers through his hair.

(I'm afraid that's where it ends for now folks. If this garners any attention of I just get that spark back I'll finish it. But for now this is all there is.)
