Day 1

Oz' POV

Hospital

I walked around the hospital. The scent of the sick filling my noise, a peaceful yet annoying atmosphere. Few patients were on the hallways. Seeing that this was not a famous hospital from the start, I wasn't surprised. I continued to walk on this boring space.

I was a confined patient. I was hospitalized because of anemia. Even though it wasn't that serious, my parents overreacted and sent me to the hospital right away. I am supposed to leave this ill-scented place today, but my parents still won't believe that I was fine already. Thus, I am still stuck in this uneventful, boring place.

Or so I thought. I suddenly hear a pitter-patter of steps behind me. The noise became louder every second. As I turned around to see what made the sound, a girl, 13 or 14 years of age, with charcoal black hair, Amethyst-colored eyes, and pale white skin, bumped into me. She was not that heavy, in fact, I didn't even tumble. I held her shoulders and looked at her, straight in the eyes. I was flabbergasted, I was expecting a kind face, but, instead, a wild glare bore holes into my eyes.

"Excuse me!" She shouted as she swept me away. She quickly hid in the small room beside me, well, not just a small room, MEN's washroom. Not long has passed when a hefty number of nurses ran through me.

"Sir, did you happen to meet any girl, looks 13 or so, with black hair, around?" The female nurse asked hastily yet polite.

I thought of what to say. A normal person would've said the girl's whereabouts. But, I thought that this might be the end to this boring life of mine.

"Sorry but, I did not meet any girl with that description around" I said with an apologetic smile.

The nurses smiled back at me and they continued to search around the area. I stared at them until they were out of sight. After that, I quickly went inside the men's washroom.

Once I entered, I had no one in sight, only a couple of toilets and a faucet. That's what it was until a black-haired berserker, holding a mop in both hands, rushed straight to me.

"AAAHHHH!" The girl shouted as she dashed. She jumped and then… the last I know is that I felt blood pouring out my head.

My eyes opened, I can see the light, I tried to reach it. I felt my body being as light as ever. "I can finally… rest at peace" I smiled widely. That's what I thought until I realized that it was just the bathroom window pouring sunlight onto me. I raised my hopes for nothing, well, I didn't want to die anyway.

I sat up. I saw the black-haired berserker from before, she was staring at me. She realized that I was already awake, then, she quickly moved backwards and held her Berserker staff a.k.a. mop tight into her hands.

"Wa-wait. You don't need to be too cautious! I won't do anything bad!" I quickly raised my hands up.

She lowered the mop and looked at me with a wary face. "I-I'm sorry! It's just that I thought that you were a nurse" she said as she pouted her cheeks. She then, looked down at the floor.

"Uhh yeah, it's fine… I guess" I said as I faked a smile. "But more importantly, I know that you hid here because you were quite desperate, but still" I glanced at her but, she was just staring at me, her eyes saying that she doesn't know anything and her head tilted.

"Huh?" She said, she sounded a little surprise "What do you mean?"

"Umm... you know…" I tried not to say it straight but I guess I have no choice "This the men's washroom… after all"

She then, confirmed her surroundings. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at every corner of the room. After confirming her surroundings, her jaws dropped. She stared at me. Her face painted red.

"Ahh-ahhh… AHHHHHHHH!" She grasped her staff err… mop and jumped at me again. Then, I felt my soul leaving my body.

My eyes opened again. I felt that my head rested upon the clouds, soft, and cold. This time, I can clearly see the light. My eyes were almost blinded by its shining glory. Yet again, that's what I thought until I realized that I was resting on her lap and light was just the bulb of the ceiling of…. Huh? Where am I? I sat up, I looked around and the conclusion I had by that time is that I was inside an unfamiliar room.

"Hey, where am-" I looked at the girl only to see that she was sleeping, like a doll, fragile, pale and not lively. If it weren't because of the little incident we had earlier, I would've thought that she was an innocent girl waiting for her mother to fetch her. In simple terms, she was cute, although it made me blush when i admitted it myself. It's not bad to tell the truth right?

I smiled. "This may really be the end to my boring life in this place" I thought to myself as I smiled. I looked outside the window and it was already dark. I stood up, and searched for a pen and paper. "Might as well say thanks" I said to myself. I wrote a thank you message and a little introduction.

I left her room. And walked to my, ever-boring room.

That's all! It's really small right? Well, can't help it xD since I don't have much time. By the way, advanced Merry Christmas everyone! I hoped you enjoy your break! As I, enjoy it as well xD
