Everything was cloudy, the sounds were distant and muffled. A shadow that moved back and forth in front of him, every time the shadow dissipated he felt the warmth of the sun that shined over him. Everything went black again and then he opened his eyes,he recognized the ceiling lamp from his room. He wasn't dreaming because he felt some droplets of cold sweat sliding through his neck. He looked around, he indeed was inside  of his room and he could also move, he sat down on his bed. Funny enough his body felt just fine, he then discovered that he had a small bump on his head, covered by hair.


"Are you feeling okay?" said a now-familiar voice, it was Uriel, who was leaned against the door-frame with his arms crossed, he was staring directly at Elijah with his bright eyes. He sighed. 

"Can youstand up and walk?"


Elijah looked at his roommate, after a short silent pause he asked "Um...You want me to do that?"


His roommie didn't answer, but his gaze was enough to confirm it, those eyes were filled with all of the anger that the face in which they were didn't show up. The Northener got up and got close to the blond boy.

"Feeling dizzy?"

"N-no,I feel alright."

The tall man then walked to the kitchen, the short one following him. The table was full of papers, numbers and letters mixed to each other with little to no visual companion. On top of what it looked like a mountain of files, there was: The jar, with the honey-like liquid."Please take a seat".


Elijah sat on the same chair he took the last time, he tried lo read something from the papers, but it was almost impossible. His roommate took the jar, shook it a bit,  bubbles formed inside the liquid.

"Curiosity killed the cat... In this case, it almost became true. Let me be clear first, then you apologize and we pretend like this never happened, agree?"


The dark haired boy nodded without saying a word, despite the fact that the other boy had a  smile on his face, while his eyes still emanated the opposite.


"What I have here" Said while tapping the glass jar " is not your regular fruit smoothie, nor your pine tree honey. This is a experimental lab-made chemical in its purer form, is still unfinished... and not safe for consumption. Luckily you didn't die,just overdosed."   He paused and took a deep breath, he clearly was trying to look stay.


"Iam so so so so s-sorry!!! I must have worried you a lot!!"


"Apology accepted. And uh, they called from you academy, a classmate of yours will pass by to give you some notes. Since you missed the class."


"WAIT, WHAT!?"


"Yeah, you have been in bed a whole day."
