Chapter 4: Decisions

It's been a few days since 'the mission'. After the teen’s encounter with Hipno and Sharp, they were rushed to the hospital. They have not yet woken up. Even though Silvia and Rupert were not attacked by the huge monster, they did get some extensive wounds and bruises.

Silvia had a concussion from where the monster had dropped her on the ground and a few deep cuts on her back, legs and arms from all the twigs. Naturally, she had lost a lot of blood. Rupert had a broken leg and some wounds on his arms. One could clearly see that the cuts on his arm were invected.
Silvia's mother was at the hospital, sitting next to her daughter’s bed. Her father was on his way and would arrive in a few minutes time. 

Silvia's mother's mind was full of questions about her daughter. What was she doing in the forest at 06:00 am? Was her daughter's obsession with adventure and finding a story getting out of hand? The police told Mrs.Parker (Silvia's mother) that someone also broke into the police office just a few minutes before the children were found. Mrs. Parker couldn’t help wondering if it was her own daughter who broke into their humble police men’s offices. She was so lost in thought that she did not notice Mr. Parker (Silvia's dad) as he sat himself next to her.

"Hey honey..." Mr. Parker startled her when he greeted. 

"How is she doing?" he asked as he looked at his hurt daughter.

 Before Mrs. Parker could answer, Silvia suddenly woke up.

Silvia's POV:

All I saw was darkness. It was endless. It was silence, it was quite. The darkness was interrupted by sirens and flashing lights. The pain was unbearable. A massive headache came into my head. I started to hear soft voices. Then I saw light.

I was awake. My eyes were unfocused and the blinding light burned my eyes. I noticed that I was in the hospital. My mom and dad were looking at me, tears in their eyes. My mom tackled me in a hug, my dad not far behind. After the hug, my dad went in search of someone to assist. While my dad went to find the doctor, I looked around the ward.

I saw Rupert looking very sleepy. I think he just came too. He look confused. He then looked at me and waved hesitantly. I waved back and then Rupert's parents saw he was awake and tackled him in a hug as well. I chuckled, and looked to the other bed. It was Cole Kenner's bed. He had a huge bandage wrapped around his shoulder. His hair was messy and he looked exhausted. He was also busy looking around while Mr.Kenner talked to the doctor, trying to find out what was going on.

As Cole spotted me, he gave a small smile, which I returned. I looked at the wound on his shoulder and then back at the wounds on my own arm.  Suddenly, my headache came back. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pain.

It worked. My head was still throbbing a bit as I started to focus again. I saw that the doctor had arrived. 

"Well, it looks like she will be fine. She will just have some headaches for a few days. She will be able to leave tomorrow with her friends," the doctor said as he walked out of the room.

THIRD PERSON POV 

The moms and dads left. It was getting late and it was almost time for bed. Silvia, Cole and Rupert looked at one another.

"So...Do you guys remember what happened?" Rupert asked. 

"Well, not much. I only remember a bit like being carried, then falling onto the ground in the woods. Oh, and I also remember that I was shocked." Cole replied. 

The two boys looked at Silvia.

"What 'bout you Slivie? Did you see a monster or something else in the woods?" Rupert asked.

Just when Rupert finished his sentence, Silvia clenched her head in pain.

Silvia's POV

The pain. The pain. Everything around me started spinning. I heard loud sirens. I saw flashes of something carrying me. I saw a man with a long staff. I could see Rupert on the ground. I saw blood on my arm. I saw Cole next to me clenching his shoulder. His shirt covered in blood. 

I heard steps coming closer. I felt someones hands on both of my shoulders. 

"SILVIA! Are you okay?"a voice asked. My vision started to clear, and I saw Cole sitting in front of me, worry covered his face. I tackled him in a hug. 

"So, I assume that you do remember something?" Rupert said, while making his way over to me with his crutches. 

"I do..." I replied. "But not all of it. We have to go back to the woods to find out what happened." 

"Whow…hold on there. I’m not going back in there. I don't remember a thing after we went into the police station, but from what just happened I assume its bad." Rupert said.

 "I'm with Silvie. We need to find out what happened." Cole said as he looked at me. 

"You guys are crazy!" Rupert said.

 "Do you wanna find out what happened to us and 'bout this mystery or what?!" I asked getting frustrated and irritated with the problem clearly not getting solved anytime soon.

"I...."
