Chapter 8

—————
THIRD PERSON'S POV-
—————

The first thing meliodas registered when the darkness began to fade was a low beeping sound coming from his right, and the next fight was the intense white light.
His room wasnt so well lit...so where was he?

He tried to move his body or open his eyes, but he felt too weak...
Then another thing registered, there was something in his throat, and immediately his gag reflex turned on.
Fighting whatever it was...

He heard voices, and footsteps scrambling. Even someone crying.

But as sun as the irritating thing in his that was gone he felt too tired to care, and went back to sleep.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

When the light returned meliodas knew that he was waking up again.
This time he felt stronger, abs more aware, so he easily opened his eyes, only to be completely blinded.
He blinked a few times to get used to the air, and then he looked around.
'I'm in a hospital' was the first thing that registered for meliodas..but then another thing.
Something that was weighing his bed down on one side.

It was Elizabeth...
She was sitting in a charger beside the bed with her upper body on the bed, sleeping. He hadn't even noticed till then but one of her hands were holding tightly onto his.
He wondered if she was still angry, or hurt by the whole Zenari incident, which skal led to the question.
When he looked down his body there wad all kinds of tubes coming out, he was set up to so many machines and was bandaged all over.
'What caused this? And how long have I been out?'

As if he was hit in the head with it, his last menories came back...
The screams.
The loud pops.
And the excruciating pain he feet just better everything turned dark...
'Was... was I shot? Was there a shooting in my bar?!' Meliodas thought, beginning to slowly slip into a panic, so he reached up and pressed on the small button that should call a doctor or a nurse.
He made sure to make his move yes slow, not just because of the pain but most of all to make sure he didn't wake Elizabeth up.
He was afraid that she'd wake up and yeah at him, it maybe just leave note that she knew he was okay... wait... was he okay?
He didn't know?
He was alive, probably after being shot.
.... whats the affects of getting shot?
Mostly just death right?
Or infection?

Then, while meliodas was drunk in deep though 3 doctors can't into the room.
They ask looked very serious but somewhat happy.
They can't over to him abs started asking him a lot of question, which woke Elizabeth up.
The happiness in her face current be missed, not found the tears.
But she knew she cut jump up and hug him ace scream of happiness like she e wanted to. So she waited.
She had been there when he fought the Intubation.
The doctors had sayd then that his chances of making it was heightened, but that it could still go downhill if his wounds were infected.

"Are you tired?" There doctor asked while slowly peeling a bandage off at his bicep. Meliodas gussed that was one of the places he's been shot.
While the doctor did this one of the other doctors checked Meliodas's reflexes.
That seemed good, but a little slow in his right side.

"Yes" meliodas andwred and then winched when the doctor began peeling at the piece of bandage directly over the bullet wound.
He had to do it though to check if it was infected.
It wasn't luckily, but the doctor explained that he wanted Meliodas to take a lot of antibiotics so make sure they weren't get indicted in the future.

"Does that mean I can go home?" Meliodas asked hopefully. He bore knew that he'd been shot but he had no idea c of what extend.
He thought it was just the San, and then maybe he had been covered in shattered glass and that that was the reason for all the other bandages.
