Miracles Through Time

Chapter 4

I wake up in a daze. "Uggh...."I groaned as I tried to sit up.   I felt like there was a thousand knifes impaling my side.  "Gahh!"  I stop my painful struggle as I notice a warm substance leaking from my side.  Blood.  "Well that explains a lot.". Just then the scent of bacon wafts in the room along with the smell of waffles.  I swear if I was a dog I would be drooling right now.  Imagine your favorite food being made right in front of you.  The smell making its way up you nose.  Then imagine it being topped with your favorite topping,if any.  That's what it smelled like and it was pure torture.  I have to get some of that food even if it kills me: which in my condition, probably will.  Nearly screaming in agony, I manage to stand up but not without my wound opening even more allowing even more of the red warm liquid to stain the white bandages.  "Well that's just great."  I say in sarcasm as I attempt to make one step forward.  My right hand holding my side as the left hand leans on the wall for support.  Very slowly I make my way towards the door, practically falling over each time I take a step. *Panting*  "A-almost there.". Reaching for the door knob I slowly turn it then peek my head ever so slightly out into the Hall.  Letting out a relived sigh I open the door and slowly make my way towards the irieistable smell.

Five minutes later

*Pant, pant*  "how long is this damn hallway?"  I say a little louder than a whisper as I lean on the wall for support while trying to walk.  Looking down, I see a brownish red color had already soaked through the once white bandages.  "J-just a little longer, then I can stop."  I say to myself as I reach the source of the smell.  "Finally...... ". I said in a weak whisper but right before I enter the room I collapsed a few feet from the entrace of what seemed to be the dining hall.  I ended up landing onto the cold hard floor with a loud thud.

Hey Kazuma, did you hear....... that?".  Shiro asked but before he could finish his sentence, Kazuma was already out the dinning room door. 

"Man, he sure looked worried about something, wonder what it could be?". A tall man with jet black hair says as he looks confusingly at the still swinging door. 

Rushing out the door Kazuma nearly does a ten meter dash through the hallway but stops when he makes eye contact with a smallish figure on the ground along with the stench of blood in the air.  After a few seconds of shock he runs over to the unmoving figure. 

"Chizaru!  Chizaru!"

  Sinking to the floor he takes the girls body and gently turns her over onto her back then puts his ear close to her mouth.  Then after a few long seconds he sighs with relief then took her wrist and checked for a pulse.  A small thump could be felt. 

"You damn girl, what in the world were you thinking." He muttered half angry, half relieved.

  Just then Chizaru's eyes started to flicker open.

Ugggh".

She groaned as she open her eyes, only to come face to face with an enraged faced Kazuma. 

"What were you thinking?  You could have died idiot!  Do you even realize how much trouble your in right now, do ya!?"

All she could do was look away in shame as Kazuma scolded her like a small child who just committed a terrible crime.  As tears threatened to escape her eyes from the pain and the harsh scolding, she tried turning back over onto her stomach. 

"What in the devil's hell do you think your doing!"  I'm not done with you yet!" 

"I-i- I'm not gonna stop here........not when I'm so close...". She whispered as tears stream down her face she atempt to crawl with one hand as the other holds her side.  Kazuma only watches in amazement as the weakened girl attempts to crawl off towards the kitchen. He then he snaps back to reality.  Sighing he picks up the bleeding girl bridal style receiving a pained groan in return. 

"L-let me go!". Ignoring her, he briskly walks towards the kitchen.  Walking through the door he carries her over towards the food. 

I look up in confusion as blood starts trickling down from the soaked bandages.  He only lets out an annoyed sigh before grabbing a plate with one hand and supporting the frail girls wounded body with the other. 

"U-um?" 

  he looked into the girls sparkling eyes, a gentle but Stern look. 

"Grab what you want, I will hold the plate."

As soon as she heard the words grab what you want, she immediately started mentally exploding with excitement.  With one hand she reached out and grabbed one Belgian waffle and a a lot of bacon.  When she started to top her waffle with strawberries and whipped cream she couldn't help but notice the small smile plastering Kazuma's features, but when she glanced over again it was gone. 

"Do you want any syrup?"

I shook my head and he drizzled syrup over the top.  Before he walked away he grabbed a fork from a silver wear cup. 

As soon as he walked in the room he immediately set the wounded body of the girl on the couch then put the breakfast plate on a table near by.  She gave him a are you serious look which only made him smirk in return. " You can eat after I change your bandages."  I didn't like the idea of someone touching me around that area but at that moment the only thing I could think about was eating.  Before I had much time to notice he was gone he reappeared, only this time holding a first aid kit. 

Let's just say there were a few words used and a lot of blood.  When he was finally done it looked like he had just murdered someone with his bear hands.  I couldn't help but smile at the irony of it all. 

"What are you smiling about." 

"Oh nothing"  I said looking away.

  "Whatever, just hurry up and eat before it gets cold."  He says before washing his hands off. 

"Idiot. Don't you think I would have if I could."

When he comes back out he takes the plate of food, cuts it up then hands it to me.

  "Th-thanks" 😶

"Ya well, don't get use to it.".

No one's pov.

After the frail girl finished her breakfast, Kazuma took her plate from her lap and left the room without a word. 

After the door to her room was shut tight the young girl couldn't help but smile to herself as she drifted off into a deep slumber....... all was quiet except for the soft breathing and heart beat of the young girl who has yet to discover just why she was brought to such a strange place.
