Out of Orbit {'On Hold' for sometime: Suprise Updates}

7) Recovery for All

~~~~Coals POV~~~~

I pace outside the room with Kin. This was his crush on the line, and if he's depressed I'm depressed and if I'm depressed- you get it I hope. I place my hand on his shoulder, I try to reassure him. "She'll be fine. I hope." I mutter the last part to myself and he slides against the wall. "She's not going to be okay, you saw how much blood there was, she's dead already they just won't tell us!" That's it. He's lost it. Like... everything. Hope Vertex and some other friends lives. I slide up against the wall with him. "Kin, if you give off so much negative energy its bound to get to her. Try to stay positive, or neutral at least." He shakes his head and looks up. Tears make their way dawn his face, I can't help but to pity my best bud. We've been through lots of dumps, girls dumping him and me dumping girls. Hardly vise-versa.

We had been waiting for an hour until a nurse came out of her room. she looked tired and sad, not a good sign. "Vertex was got really bad, she probably won't make it. I am so sorry, she's entering surgery right now."  She looked down with her hands behind her, Kin rushed up to the window in the door. Metal bars criss-crossed it. I peeked over and saw a large group of medics at her feet, I saw a bit of her face. They patted each others back, but one shook his head sadly. They left the room in a single mass and I ran in, the nurse had tagged along with the doctors. I looked at her, I brushed a strand of hair out of her face. I took a side glance at the machine mimicking her heart rate. It was on of the few machine types she had let us keep.

Up down... Up down......Up down...... Up down......

~~~~Vertex's POV~~~~

I was walking, where I don't know. Purple mists fled to my sides as I walked through it. I began to see landscape, a lake and a leafless dead tree. I run my hand along the tree. I looked at the bark, it spelled something, odd. I began to read the text upon the trunk. 'Asteroids will be attacked by their kind, the world will shift as-'

I awoke in a bed, my eyes open a bit, just  slits. Kin was crying on Coals' shoulder, even he had some tears to shed. I heard a long exaggerated beep. I move my eyes to my left in the blank room, my heart monitor had gone flat. Wait, what! I sigh when trying to get up had failed. Kin continues crying but Coal slaps him. Ouch. He stops and they hear my breathing, they started smiling and hopping around like kids on Christmas.

It was a day after my miracle survival. Kin and Coal were competing on who could help me more, it was cute. Coal came back from running up and down the hall trying to find a cup of water, I felt kind of bad. He panted, handing me a water. "Coal?" I ask sipping the icy water, he looked up at me, to busy panting to speak. "Can I see the town again?" He nodded several times and then stole my cup for a gulp of water. "Hey!" I yelp spinning around and reaching for my cup. "Hey, do you want me to fall out of the sky?" He asked while shifting into a dragon. I mutter a no and grabs my waist with his tail and sets me on his back. Coal was basically a flying snake, no wings legs, he floated. I grasp his back...or neck and he crashes through the roof. we fly over the town and I see people re-enforcing the gate, others are repairing shops or raising prices on armor or weapons. Geez, this is a war and they care about gold?
