Chapter 1
Sora awoke to find herself in a hospital bed; she looked around and saw her parents in bed sleeping with a machine assisting them to breath. A doctor with blue hair walked in and said.
"Morning Miss Takenouchi, glad that you've managed to gained consciousness" he said happily.
"Where am I? I'm in hospital? What happened?" she asked
"You've suffered a wound to the head Miss, it's been two days and you've only just gained consciousness. But you're quickly recovering" he said.
Sora looked at him and asked. "Will my parents be ok?" she asked nearly on the verge of tears because of the sight.
"Well, your father's leg bones have been damaged badly but your mum seems to be alright bone wise. She needs stitches for the wound, but that's about it. They will also need a lot of rest." he explained.
"That's good, when can I go see them? Sora said with a sad smile.
"In a few days after you recover from your muscle strain, after all your calf got badly bruised after that incident" he replied.
A nurse walked in and asked the doctor.
"I have some breakfast for a Sora Takenouchi? Where should I put it?" she said.
Sora replies. "Oh thanks a lot for the food" she said and smiled at the nurse
"Oh it's no problem" she smiled back and then went back to her duty.
"So eat
up little one and get your strength back" the doctor said.
"Oh
I will" Sora eats her breakfast which consisted of an orange
juice, an apple and muesli. She wondered how the man got in and how
her parents were damaged and what happened after she screamed. She
stared up at the ceiling and wondered what was going on in Obaida.
She really wanted to move back just to see her childhood friends. It
had been 4 years since they moved away and she missed her friends a
lot. Then in through the door came a friend of hers from her current
school. She walked up to Sora and looked at her in shock. She grabbed
a seat and sat next to her and asked.
"What
the hell happened Sora?" she asked in a caring way. She was nearly
in tears seeing how bad Sora was.
"A robber knocked me out, I'm
more concerned about my parents than me" she replied.
The girl
held her hand and said.
" I was so worried" this time a tear
trickled from her eye and down her cheek.
"Please don't cry, be brave for me?" Sora said with a fake happy face.
"For you I will, oh and I bought you and your parents some flowers each and this".
She passed her an envelope with the word Sora in curly writing. She opened it and there was a 'Get Well Soon Card' she read it.
Dear Sora, Mr and Mrs Takenouchi
From
I
hope you three make a speedy recovery and that you return to good
health.
Maria
Sora
looked at her and gazed into her eyes she grabbed her hands and
said.
"Thank you for the card and flowers, you're a true
friend" she said, almost in tears herself.
"Sora, I remember
you saying about your friends in Obaida, and I was wondering if you'd
like to have my laptop? I'm getting a new one and I want to get rid
of it. I wiped it yesterday and it's as good as new, perhaps you
can email them and tell them what has happened or just chat with
them" she said, in a whisper.
"Are you sure? I'd love to! Oh Maria I love you girl!" she let Maria hug her since she could hardly move. Maria placed it on her side table and the nurse walked in.
"You've had your 30 minutes, time for you to leave" she said.
"Oh ok, I'll see you tomorrow!" Maria shouted
"Shhh"
the nurse put her fingers on her lips instructing her to quieten
down.
"Bye Maria" Sora replied.
Sora sat there wondering who she should email first, she just registered an email and was about to make a message. She didn't know what to write and didn't want to write about what has happened to her or her parents. So she just pretended it was a usual day. She found out that Maria even found two people's emails. One was a bushy chocolate haired boy called Taichi Yagami and another boy called Yamato Ishida who was blond and had sapphire coloured eyes. They were Sora's two best friends back in Obaida. She decided to email them both the same message. She typed:
Dear Taichi/Yamato,
Hi
guys it's me Sora, a friend of mine said she managed to get your
emails and she gave it to me so I could keep in contact with you
guys. It's so great to talk to you guys again. I've really missed
you both and not forgotten about either of you. Remember all the
things we'd get up to back in Obaida? Like climbing up trees and
wrestling in the mud. Good times. Life in Kobe is very different
however, I've made a few friends and met some nice people and
fitted in with my peers. Please email back.
Sora oxoxoxo
Love
you both
"There I hope it sent" she hoped.
The doctor came back with more news; he explained to Sora that her dad will have to be handicapped. Since his leg was really damaged by the assault and he'll never be able to walk again but her mum however would recover in about 3 weeks. She said thank you and the doctor let her get a bit more shut eye noticing she was a sleepy girl.
