Chapter 4: The note, Lloyd, and Presea
" Marta," my teacher said, " Emil needs you. He keeps uttering your name. Who is this?"
" Emil is an orphan that we are housing who has become very ill. I suspect that Raine needs my help. She has to go to work and cannot help him any more. She said that she would let me have as much time at school as possible," I told her curtly, and started to gather my things. I turned to look at her and noticed the soft look my cruel teacher had. She patted me on the back and said that Colette and I had no homework until Emil got better.
" Colette, you are to go to," she said and off we went. As soon as we left the school grounds, Tenebrae appeared. Our trio rushed to my house and into Emil's room as fast as we could. Raine thanked us for coming so quickly. We cared for him like that for 2 and a half weeks. l would help clean his wound if Raine asked it and Colette was always the one to cool him down. Occasionally, we were able to feed him little spoons of water or broth. Those moments were few and he was hardly able to keep it down. He coughed up a lot of blood, and tended to open his eyes in his sleep for short amounts of time.
I then noticed his bag, and, not to be rude, we looked through it. The first thing we pulled out was a strange outfit that Tenebrae said was his original wear. Then we pulled out what looked to be candy and soda. Other items came next. Finally, we pulled out a journal and read it. The last thing in it was a note from... me... It was very sweet and I felt very bad for Emil and this other self I had. This explains muttering.
One day the doorbell rang and I had to go open it. Emil had just had one of his coughing sprees and I was not a pretty sight. There were drops of blood all over me and I was desperately scrubbing my hands on a towel, trying to free them of the bloods grasp. Much to my dismay, it had to be Lloyd and Presea. One of the names Emil had muttered numerous time and the other I was sure counted as every one.
" Hello Marta!" Lloyd said, then his face dropped at my appearance. Presea helped him out in this awkward moment,
" We came by to help you two with the sickly one. What was his name... Right, Emil!"
" Okay, come on in. Prepare yourselves, he's not just sick and he says and does some weird stuff in his sleep. Colette will definitely enjoy your company as will I," I said and showed them to his room. The first thing I did was introduce them to Tenebrae. Worst idea ever. They freaked out when he started to talk, but they got used to it and we helped them with their homework in turn for them helping us with Emil. They only came that day because they didn't have much homework, but they still enjoyed it.
Please R&R!
