His chest rose...just barely noticeably...and eventually fell.
This was the sign she'd been waiting for. He was alive! He was alive... but what would that mean for the future? Would he be changed by his near-death experience? Would he be the same Gregor he was before the battle?
These thoughts and a multitude of others ran again and again through Luxa's mind. She tried to sort them out and bring some calm into her frazzled mind, while planning what to do next.
Obviously, she would alert his family to his current condition. Once the war was over, she'd alert the people that he lived. That is she would tell them, if he lived through the next few days, or weeks, or months, until he woke up.
Luxa paced around the small white room, listening to the shallow breathing of her love. There was one question that stood out in her mind. It was a question no one could answer, until Gregor woke up. It was a question that had run through her mind many times before. Would he be the same selfless, brave, wonderful Gregor he was before the battle, when he came out of his medication-induced coma? Just thinking about the answer to that question made her stomach churn in anticipaition. She fiercely hoped that he would be the same. If he wasn't, it would break her heart beyond repair. She'd just have to wait for the answer, as long as that would take.
-- Approximately a week later...
Gregor had woken up just about a day before. Luxa was standing in the background, watching his family and wishing for her own, when Gregor woke up. It took an enormous amount of self control to not run over and hug him and proclaim her love for him. She knew that she had to restrain herself. There would be plenty of time for things like that later. Now, she had see what the answer to the question that had been plagueing her for the past week was.
A/N: Ok. So, I know that this needs to be a lot longer! But the problem is, I've run out of ideas on how to end this! If you can help me, SEND ME A REVIEW! Please! I need help!! I'm not going to take credit for it. I'm going to mention the person who's idea I chose in my Author's Note for the next chapter.
Oh, and on a completely different note... I would encourage whomever is reading this story to listen to Avril Lavigne's "Anything But Ordinary". That song, combined with my own curiosity, gave me the idea to write this story. Also, the Plain White T's "1, 2, 3, 4" helped me write the last part of this chapter. I would like to send a shout out to both artists saying.."THANKS!"
Ok, I'm waiting for ideas. Click the review button! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
