Thess Hero

Chapter 13

When he got into the hospital he was searching for someone to tell him at what room Artemis was.

-Excuse me, in what room is Artemis Vitali being hold?

-Let me check...it's room 204

-Okay, thank you.

He rushed to that room, being worried. When he got there, he saw Artemis laying in bed and she was wearing "hospital patient clothes", a white large dress like cloth.

-Artemis! How are you feeling?

-Okay I guess. Look at these clothes I look like a grandma, take a picture of me doing the peace sign, that'll be such a meme.

I said while holding my hands in a peace sign.

-Artemis that's no time for memes and jokes! What did the nurse tell you, what's your condition?

-Oh, uh, basically that throw in the wall I got broke my ribs

-What?! And how do you say it so calmly?!

-Relax Leon, it will heal sooner or later!

-Okay but what about your family? Do they know you broke your ribs?

-Ptff of course not.

-Why not? You should let them know.

-But that way I will have to explain what happened and they will learn that I am Thessaloniki's hero and I am 99.9% sure that they are gonna make me stop doing that.

Leon touched his forehead with his fingers, nervously thinking.

-I am not the type of person that would give an advise like this, but maybe you could lie about it?

He said.

-Lie? And what should I say?

-I don't know, I guess something such as that you got hit by those monsters but as a normal person, not as a superhero that was fighting them.

-Hmm, I guess that'll do.

He nodded.

Then a nurse asked for my parent's phone numbers so she can contact them and tell them about my situation and thankfully she told them that they can come visit me only tomorrow, so I had some time to think of what to say to them when they will ask me what happened.

The next day, they came as early as they could, which I don't judge I understand how they feel, but damn I'd like some more time to think of what to say. My mom rushed into the room I was held in and hugged me while I was on bed.

-Artemis, what happened?! You have no idea how worried we were for you! You just disappeared!

-Yeah...I...bet you saw the...monsters, right?

-Of course I did, the whole town did...

Then her eyes got wider and she gasped

-Don't tell me! You were beaten by those monsters?!

-You...guessed that right.

-But, why would they attack you?

-They were attacking at everything and I happened to be one of the victims.

-My poor girl...

She paused for a moment and then continued

-What is your situation?

-My ribs got broken...

-YOUR RIBS?! Oh no that's so bad, when will you recover? What did the doctors tell you?
