The Elements

A Gift That Pops Up?

Vivenne's POV

I woke up with renewed strength, and looked around me.

Becca.

She ran to hug me, and I gladly hugged her back.

"Becca. No time to explain, but we have to go. Now."

"N-now? You're in no condition to leave!" she stuttered an answer.

I looked down. Ew. Hospital gowns.

"We have to. Do you have my clothes?"

"Your.. Clothes? Uhh... No"

Dang it. I'll just have to leave in these. Just need to drop by my house secretly...climb in the window... Get new sets of clothes, get all my belongings, climb back out the window. Question is, how do you climb up 9 floors secretly?

"Becca... Do you have any of my belongings."

"I've got.. Your phone? I guess? Your wallet? But that's about it. I ate your gum, so that's gone..." Her eyes stared off to a distance, thinking of the juicy strawberry flavoured gum.

My wallet... My credit card! I don't need to drop by home, I can just buy new clothes!

What had the man said when he was explaining it ? The deadliest desert.. Ancient scrolls?

"Uhhh... Viv, if you're planning to leave, now is a good time." Becca stated.

Plans will have to wait. The main objective now was.. to leave the hospital.

"You're right. Let's g-OW!"I winced in pain as there were still some fresh stitches that were not supposed to be moved. Becca's eyes widened and lent me a hand.

Wait a sec. The man whom I had talked with... Didn't he say something about.. I wonder..

I patted my pockets. Huh. Nothing there.

"viv? We need to get out of here? Hello?"

I checked the backpack with my name tag on it that somehow magically appeared.

"what are you looking for?"

Heck yea. This is nice.

"This."

I took out the tablet and the stylus. Dayum that dude has taste! This is some high quality stuff right here!

" Woah viv, where did you get that?"

"Don't know, don't care. Like i said, I'll explain later. But hell, this is good."

I turned on the tablet and the stylus.

Guess what was on the homescreen of the tablet?

"Nice talk . You really are a bright one. Hope you like your gift. It should serve you well."

Unlocking the tablet, i found a art app.

Yep. This is how it goes.

I used the stylus and drew a piece of cloth to test it out.

After a quick 30 second sketch, i pressed "print" and the cloth i hastilly drew popped out with a bright blue flash.

"Sweet."

"Uh.. I hear footsteps!"

" Not sweet."

My mind raced. Is it possible to draw an invisable cloak like the one in Harry Potter? Wait- no time.

"Hide behind the curtains! Whatever you do, do NOT breathe loudly and do not make any movements."

In the dark room, i could barely see a man's dark figure through the curtains.

"The patient.. Isn't here? Nurses! Check the rooms! There's an escapee!" 

They rushed out of the room. I tried to scan the room if it was completely safe before exposing myself, but apparently "check the rooms" meant "check EVERY room" including this one.

Someone ripped away the curtain that was covering me.

"Uhhh.. Hey..."
