Why Me?

Chapter 29 THE END

Sophia:

            Waking up in a hospital was not fun. Now I could see why Noor hated hospitals so much. I had always hated the smell, but I could still deal with it. But waking up in a hospital was an entirely different matter. White was everywhere and it felt like it was blinding my eyes. Doctors were rushing around and it made me dizzy. There were loud beeping machines everywhere that hurt my ears. I decided that I really did not like hospitals.

            Noor entered the hospital room, looking around cautiously. Jasper was practically dragging her inside.

            “I hate hospitals,” she moaned. “Why do I even have to come here?”

            “Because your twin sister is in the hospital and you want to see if shes better, remember?” Jasper said, sounding exasperated.

            “But why do I have to come inside? Can't she go outside?” Noor whined. Jasper rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to say something.

            “SOPHIA! You’re awake! Finally! At long last! She’s awake, Jasper!  After three days” Noor squealed.

            “I can see that.” Jasper said. Noor ran up to me, forgetting that she was in a hospital. She tripped over a wire and went sprawling to the ground.

            “Ow,” she said, standing up and rubbing her nose.

            “Smooth, Noor,” I said. My voice sounded croaky so I looked around for a glass of water.

            “Here.”  As if knowing what I was thinking, Noor picked up a glass of water from the side table and handed it to me. I quickly gulped it down and smiled at Noor.

            “Thanks,” I said in a normal voice, feeling much better now. “So, what happened?” I asked.

            “Well,” Noor said, putting on a serious face. “I found out that I'm not dead. And I didn't get to meet my angel.”  Noor frowned sadly.

            “What in the world are you talking about?” I asked, confused. Noor heaved a huge sigh but didn't explain.

            “Drake tried to stab her but I saved her, but she still thought Drake had stabbed her so she believed she was dead for almost the whole day until I finally got it through her thick head that she wasn't dead,” Jasper said, speaking up for the first time.

            “Hey!” Noor protested, glaring at him. He shrugged.

            “What? I was just telling her what happened,” he said innocently.

            “And I met an angel-” Noor said excitedly. Jasper shot her a look and she quickly corrected herself. “I mean, Pro! But hes just like an angel!”

            “Pro?”  The name sounded familiar to me.  I thought Noor had mentioned him before.  “Isn’t that...”

            “Their leader?  Yah, he’s like the ruler of everyone or whatever.  It’s soo cool.”  Noor grinned at me as a question formed in my head.

            “So where is Drake?” I asked, looking around as if he was in the room. 

            “Pro killed him,” Noor said uneasily, looking at the ground.

            “Huh?”  But I had thought Drake was immortal.  How could he be killed?

            Noor read the confusion on my face.  “He kinda zapped him into nothingness.  I don’t really know what happened,” she said, looking up to meet my eyes again.  My mouth dropped open.  That meant...
