Chapter 3: Waking Up
Voices. Incoherent words I couldn't make out. I tried to gain open my eyes, but the unbearable pain in my side was too much for me to handle and I slipped back into unconsciousness.
-
Bright. It was too bright for my liking. Opening my eyes, I allowed light to seep through and replace the darkness. Where am I? And why is it so bright?
Looking around, I tried pushing myself to sit up, but the burning pain caused me to crash down on the bed.
"Look who's finally awake. Don't push yourself. You're still weak from that stab wound. You don't want to reopen it, do you?" I jumped, surprised there was someone else in the room besides me, causing me to clutch my abdomen in pain.
"Hey. Take it easy." Considering her words of advice, I cautiously laid back down on the mattress. She walked to the foot of my bed, took the clipboard, and started examining my condition, all the while, jotting down notes.
I sat stiffly as absolute silence filled the room; the only thing heard was the scratching sound of (pen/brush?) against paper. Turning my head to face the window on my right, I took in the view of the unfamiliar setting.
A friendly voice snapped me back to the girl beside me. "You're lucky, you know. Any later, you would've been in a much more serious problem than you are in now, due to the amount of blood lost." she said, smiling.
Taking a good look at her (since I didn't do so earlier), I noticed a pair of bright green eyes and an unnatural, yet interesting, shade of pink hair.
I believe that everyone has a trait or feature that is unique and therefore stands out among the other qualities. Well for her, I would have to say her wide forehead.
Thinking that it may be a likely touchy subject, and not wanting to have any grudges against me in an unknown place, AND also considering the fact that she is responsible for my health and condition, I didn't dare bring it up. Instead, I tried returning the smile, but due to the pain, it only ended up looking more like a grimace.
"I don't think I've seen you around the village." She said with a closed-eyed smile. Lifting my sore arm, I clasped her outstretched hand. "I'm Haruno Sakura. What's yours?"
I broke the friendly handshake and placed my hand on the tender bump on my head.
"I- I really don't remember…"
"Love has no boundaries; no matter how small it is, no matter the amount it is given, whether it is little or great, if it is strong enough, it will surpass anything... even worlds." ======================================================================================================================================================================================================
