Chapter 14

"Run!! It's the cursed half-blood!"

"He's real! Run or you'll die!"

"Waaaaah! Ruuuuuun!!"

"How is this possible? He can't possibly exist!"

There were so much noise and chaos. Screaming and running.

Dawn, slowly opened her eyes. 

"Wh-what...is happening?" she mumbled.

She felt all her energy drained as if some malefic force was trying to keep her consciousness shut. Her body felt like it gained a ton and all her senses clogged. With little consciousness, she tried to make sense of the horror around her.

 Piles of lying bodies here and there. She wondered if they were all just asleep, but the stillness of their breathing proved otherwise. 

'They're dead?' she thought. 'Dead..'

Some were running all around, trying to escape from something. Everyone was scared for some reason. What could be so scary that caused this much fear? She asked herself.

One by one she saw them fall like an orchestrated performance of death. The familiar grotesque and morbid display of horror sprawled before her.

Dawn forcefully closed her eyes again.

'This is just a nightmare, just a nightmare.' she chanted, hoping all the screaming and panic would stay muffled from her hearing.

...

Dawn woke up with a jerk. The first thing she ever noticed was where she currently was. The room was quiet and cozy. Beside her was a wooden bedside table with a plastic platter of food wrapped in plastic. A metallic rod was on the other side of the bed hanging a bag of what it seemed to be water. A gentle breeze of morning air whipped through the room from the open windows. She shivered lightly at the breeze of cold air.

A stung in the head made her groan in pain. It felt as if she just woke up from a crazy Saturday night.

'Where am I?' She asked herself, tracing the intravenous tubes connected from her wrist to the hanging bag of water. She narrowed her eyes in disbelief 'I'm in the hospital?'

As she was about to remove the white blanket covering her lower extremities, she heard the door creaked open.

"She is doing fine Mr. Starr." Dawn heard a lady spoke. "She is recovering well. She might wake up anytime soon."

Dawn saw two figure came in from the door, one she recognized as the nurse and the other a figure she didn't know. But judging from his appearance, he seemed to be someone important.

"Oh she's awake already!" the nurse clasped her hands. "I'll inform the doctor." and the nurse was off from the room.

She was now alone with a spiky blond guy whose age seemed to be around mid 20's. He was wearing a blue blazer with three golden buttons at the sleeves over a black shirt and navy blue pants.

She wanted to ask him a lot of stuff but her mouth was so parched as if she just swallowed sand.

"No need to fear Ms. Berlitz." The man calmly stated. "You are now perfectly safe." 

'Safe? From who? From what?'

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask me but before any of that we'll have to let the doctor see how well you are right now." He ran his fingers through his blond locks and went towards the window and peered outside.
