RED (Dianakko)

2

Another month has passed, but still no change in Akko's current state, or so everyone thought at least, but I kept coming back to the ward, asking if anything new has changed, but I was always told the same thing everytime.

I was starting to become restless at the little progress, but we tried everything, every healing spell, different skilled witches and warlocks, but I kept coming back, so when she does, hopefully I'll be the first person she sees.

"Hello again Diana, how's your classes?" The nurse asked when Iwalked in, not even picking up her head from her book, I think something Barbara reads.

"it's going well, just need to finish my thesis," I replied, going over to Akko's space.

I sat near her, watching her steady breathing, wishing I could see her bright red eyes, sometimes I wonder why I'm torturing myself by coming here everyday, but I couldn't live with myself if I was around her. So stayed where I was for two hours, reading a romance book that Akko got me for my birthday, which I still regard as one of the most disastrous experience, but a fun one; having my team, the red team, and the green get along was unexpectedly nice, just knowing that your friends have your back was something I've never experienced in till Akko came into my life.

I was shaken out of my thoughts, now noticing the nurse looking at me with a pitiful smile, which I hated, cause I know everyone thinks that Akko will never wake up, that she will forever be in this comatose state, but I know that Akko won’t stay still forever, she’s strong, and I must stay stay strong for her.

“You should get going, I know you have patrol tonight,” she said before turning back around.

So I reluctantly got up, giving Akko a final squeeze before leaving the ward so I can begin my first round on patrol tonight.

An hour of my patrol, I felt the sense of being watched, but I didn’t feel like I was in danger, but it still means someone’s out during curfew; “I know your there, it’s late and past curfew, so I advise you to go back to your dorm,” I stated out loud, not wanting to deal with such disobedience tonight, but I only heard my own echo, that feeling never leaving me, “Amanda if that is you, I'm in no mood to deal with your shenanigans,” I said, but I got no response, no jab, no insult, only silence. After standing still for a bit, waiting for whoever, I started to look for the person who is being a pain in my rear, turning left and right, but in the end found no one, further puzzling me, but soon I found myself outside, staring at someone's bare back, but it was too dark for me to make out the person.

“Hey it’s past curfew, and its way too cold for you to be out here without proper clothing,” I shouted at the person, but no answer, “hey, are y-” but the words caught in my throat, as I stared at the bright red eyes on someone who is no longer a person, but a thing of nightmares, I didn’t even realize that my vision was blurring, as those eyes stayed in my thoughts.
