Academy of Elements: Fire

Chapter 23: Silver Pine Hospital

I awoke to the smell of rubber gloves and the sounds of beeping. Scarlett.
Quickly I sat up and took in my surroundings. I was in the Hospital Wing of the school, in a bed with curtains around.
"She is in a coma, they don't know if she will wake up again or not." I heard Mrs. Nicole say.
"W-What?" I heard a familiar voice sob. Ella.
I pushed the covers off of me and exited my curtained aria. Ella sat on a wooden chair, Mrs. Nicole facing her in another chair. My eyes met Ella's. Quickly I looked down and felt tears coming.
"I killed her didn't I..." I cried. I killed her, I killed Scarlett.
"No Jaxon." Mrs. Nicole replied. "She's in a coma... They're doing everything they can for her. Don't worry."
"Can I see her?" Ella asked.
"Both of you." Nicole said pointing at Ella and I. "Will be seeing her at Silver Pines tomorrow." With that Mrs. Nicole left leaving Ella and I in awkwardness.
"I'm sorry!" I cried to Ella. Her jaw line tensed and she left, leaving me alone in the Hospital wing.
-
I had a restless sleep. I kept on seeing Scarlett's family staring down at me tears in there eyes. I also saw Ella fading away and becoming distant. At about two o' clock in the morning finally I fell asleep.

Sun cascaded over me. I got out of bed slowly and fed Remy his breakfast. Soon it was time for me to leave for Silver Pines. Which apparently was a magic hospital. I grabbed my sweater and headed out to the entrance of the school to meet Mrs. Nicole and Ella. When I reached the entrance of the school a limousine was parked outside. I joined Ella and Mrs. Nicole as they sat down in it. The driver got in a second later and started to drive away from the school. Soon we were in a dense forest when we came to a dead end.
"We aren't..." But I didn't have enough time to finish before we flew towards a tree and appeared somewhere new.

Cars zoomed passed us as we drove into an abandoned parkade. We drove down to the bottom layer and stopped in front of a wall that had a graffitied pine tree on it.
Ella, Nicole, and I all got out of the car. Mrs. Nicole walked over to the pine tree and closed her eyes. Her hand began to glow and the tree started swirling around. Browns and greens whooshed around until a new picture took place; a door. Mrs. Nicole reached her hand forward and a large wooden handle appeared. She pulled it and the door swung open. From inside the people rushed back and forth and behind them a large white desk with an old lady in her fifties. Ella and I walked into the hospital and Mrs. Nicole joined us. We walked towards the desk avoiding the rushing people.

"Hello Keara." Mrs. Nicole greeted grimly.

"Hello Sierra." The woman sneered. "Here to see your student I suppose." Mrs. Nicole nodded. "Room 324."
Mrs. Nicole walked off bristly and Ella and I followed.

"Who was that?" Ella asked.

"My sister," Mrs. Nicole explained. "We don't get along well very much. She blames me for her husbands death, but that's a different story for a different time.

The hospital was completely white except for the floors, which were a pale greenish-blue. We went down a stair case, right, left, left, right; and then finally we came to room 324. Mrs. Nicole pushed opened the door quietly, and we all stepped inside. Scarlett lay in a bed against the right side wall with a bunch of monitors beside her. To the left side of her bed were what I supposed were her parents and her older brother. Tears were falling down the mother and fathers face who both hade brown hair with green eyes. Then there was his brother who looked up at me and glared.

"You!" He screamed at me. "You, did this to her."

'I-I'm sorry." I tried to explain. To late. He pushed Mrs. Nicole out of the way and walked at me. He pushed me outside of the room.

"I may not control an element!" He yelled. "But I can do this!"

The boy started shaking, his clothes ripped as his body morphed into a giant wolf. He charged at me knocking me into a gurney. I raised my hands to surround myself in a ball of Ice but before I had the chance he tackled me. He shifted back into his human form quickly and sent a punch at my face, missing me by a hair. I remembered that Werewolves were incredibly strong from one of Elise's books I had read. He put his arms together and brought them down. It all seamed to go in slow motion; I put my hands up to my face, and I felt that same surge of power I had felt when I had fought Scarlett. A light blue light shown from my tattoo and then Scarlett's brother flew back into the wall. By now people were running towards us and yelling at us. The werewolf ran at me and threw another punch, this time it hit be sending me flying back into the wall. I heard the wall crack, and I fell onto the floor hitting my head; diving into an unconscious world.
