Recovery
. . .
My eyes flickered open as light enveloped my sight. I can feel myself trying to speak, but came out as an incomprehensible groan. All I saw was a white ceiling.
What happened to me?
The last thing I can remember was the simultaneous magic spikes from the six of us, until it turned bad and every one of us passed out from the immense depletion of our energy. Then I tried shouting for help, but I can't even form the words. Until I also fell to the ground.
Then someone spoke behind me, it was a baritone voice, then metal slamming on the ground. And after that, everything turned to darkness.
What happened after that? Is—
Is everyone alright?! Did someone save us?! What happened to the others? Night, Hide and Fur were the ones who lasted through their spike until they passed out. Are they fine?! Are they safe?!
In my desperation to know what their conditions are, I tried to stand up but miserable failed as my whole body ached. Damn it, stand up!
"Woah! Don't try to sit yet! You're not fully healed!" Fide shouted from the door and ran closer to me, pinning me down lightly to stop me from standing.
I have to!
"Damn it! I have to stand up!"
"No!" He tried to stop me again, and since I don't have any energy to fight back, I just rested my body on the bed. Based on the familiar ceiling, I realized that I'm in my room.
My whole body feels sore! Damn it!
"You'll be in a much worse condition if you won't rest, Summer." Fide said in a gentle voice. His face came into view and I saw that his face was a bit swollen, and he had band aids on his face.
Shit! I remembered that I had to knock him out by punching him because of his magic spike.
"I-I'm sorry. F-For p-punching you." I weakly said.
He just laughed as he put his palm on my chest. His palm glowed with the color of his magic before he smiled at me.
"Good thing you're body had a fast recovery. You received most of the magical energy from Hide, but you're fine now. Headmistress Matilda healed your body fast." He said.
So they were the one who rescued us from the cage. Thank gods.
"H-How are t-the o-others?"
He checked the bruises on my body before answering me. "Death is fine, but his face as also a bit swollen. He's at his cousin's room, taking care of him. Fur woke up earlier, but he's still weak so he has to rest." He said.
I just listened to him while trying to move my body little by little, but it's still too sore to move. Damn it!
"I'm the one in charge to take care of you, but I'm fine. Just this swollen face, and some burns that I got from Hide's magic. Good thing Isos and Heart noticed our absence and asked for Headmistress' help so they rescued us. Heart's with Hide, and she was the first one to wake up yesterday." He continued.
So both of them are awake as well, thank goodness. At least they're safe now. But, they're not the only two who suffered from the spike.
"How's N-Night?" I asked
Fide's face saddened as he sighed deeply. "She took the most damage. From Hide's magic, to yours, and to her own body. She's in a critical condition the time they found us. The headmistress was able to save her, but she's still unconscious until now."
