Chapter 10 ♦ Timothy

Danielle's POV

Ow . . . My head feels horrible. My eyes adjust to the dim lighting and realize that I'm in the Red Fountain infirmary.

I look at the clock.

"11 PM? Man did I sleep in." I said to myself. I get out of bed but feel a sharp pain in my chest. I look down and lift my shirt to realized my chest and stomach have been bandaged.

I ignore the pain. I create a small flame in my hand to use as a light source. I grab my sword and walk out of the room to Daniel's dorm. I open the door and it makes a creaking noise.

I notice a bookshelf at the end of the room. I look at the collection of books that are here and finally choose one to read.

I feel the sharp pain again as I sit on the couch and start the book. Suddenly I hear a group of light footsteps and know who they belong to.

I hear my brother lightly whisper "That's my sister's sword."

"You guys are horrible at sneaking up on someone," I comment still reading the book that was covering my face. Someone brings my sword under the book to my neck in a threatening manner.

"Who are you, what do you want and where have you taken Danielle?" I hear Justin ask. I hear a new pair of feet walk towards us.

"You guys are as oblivious as ever. The person on the couch is the one that owns the sword you're holding." Timothy said. I used my magic to switch on the light and moved the book to show my face and glared at them. Timothy went back into his room.

"Were you really gonna kill me with my own sword?" I asked them. They looked down in shame and and embarrassment. Good. They should feel shameful.

"We couldn't see who you were. Sorry." Will apologised

"Don't sweat it. And also you guys might want something to warm you up." I said and made cups of hot chocolate appear. They eagerly took a cup each.

Lyle isn't with them . . . Weird.

"So the doctor let you out?" Isaac asked

"Isaac, it's 11 PM. The doctor wasn't in." I said drinking my hot chocolate and reading my book.

"So you just left?" Kyle asked

"Yeah. So?" I asked looking at him. I tilted my head to the side and looked straight into his eyes as if to say 'say something. I dare you.'

"We don't know if you're in good condition to leave," Daniel said

"Daniel, I was electrocuted, not killed. Relax." I said

"And you say that like it's not a big deal?" Jay asked

"I'm fine, aren't I?"

"We don't know for sure," Calvin said

"Alright, alright. I'll go back to bed . . . Buzzkills." I mumbled the last part. They wished me goodnight and went back to sleep. All except Daniel. He stayed behind.
