Lloyd woke up in a bright white room. He began to sit up, but was unable found himself strapped to a table, which terrified the child. He began to squirm around, unable to escape.
"Lloyd, calm down, we can't have you passing out again," someone said.
"Where am I," Lloyd asked, scared.
"You're in the hospital, hold still please," the doctor said. "I'm trying to treat you burns."
Lloyd suddenly felt a wave of pain in his right leg. He looked down at it and saw the doctor was rubbing a white cream on a red part of his leg.
"What's that," Lloyd asked.
"It's a cream that will help the burn heal. Please, hold still so I can do this," the doctor said.
"Ok," Lloyd said.
He watched the doctor work, it hurt a lot. He watched as the doctor stepped back from his bed.
"Ok, I may need help with this next part," he said.
"Ok, what do we do," a nurse said.
"Hold him down, I can do the rest," the doctor said.
Two nurses came and held Lloyd against the bed. He panicked.
"What are you doing," he asked.
"You have a deep cut that we will need to stitch up," the doctor replied. "This will hurt a little."
Lloyd felt something sharp in his left shin. He closed his eyes tightly and begged for it to stop, but it never did. He cried as the pain went on and on, never opening his eyes. About three dreadful minutes later, it stopped.
"Done," the doctor sighed. "Let the others in."
Mr. Wu, Misako, Jay, Cole, Kai and Nya entered the room Lloyd was in. Lloyd's mother hugged him tightly.
"You're Ok," she said.
Lloyd hugged back tightly, not wanting her to leave his side again.
"Where's Zane," Lloyd asked.
"Back to his hiding under the blankets game," Mr. Wu sighed.
"Why is he always doing that," Lloyd sighed.
"Zane is most likely fine, you suffered the most," the doctor said.
"The school's been shut down, everyone is going home and returning to normal schools," Mr. Wu said.
"Nya and I will be placed in an orphan inch since we don't have parents, right," Kai said.
"No, you will come live with me until you can care for your selves," Mr. Wu said.
"How did you arrange this," Misako asked.
"I was friends, close friends with their parents, I actually watched Nya on weekends sometimes," Mr. Wu smiled.
"I remember that now," Nya said.
Out of nowhere, Lloyd fell into a coughing fit. The doctor place an oxygen mask on his face and the coughing stopped.
"What was that," Cole asked.
"He must still have some smoke in his lungs," the doctor sighed.
"Will he be alright," Misako asked.
"He will have to stay here overnight, but he should be fine by morning," the doctor said.
"L.l. ," a weak voice said.
Everyone turned to the door and saw Zane standing in the doorway, with a nurse by his side.
"Zane," Lloyd asked.
Zane walked over to Lloyd and the two boys hugged, happy to know they were both alive.
"Ok, Lloyd, you may feel a slight pinch," the nurse said.
Lloyd flinched and saw the doctor had injected something into him.
"What was that," he asked.
"It will knock you out in a few minutes, we need to work on your ankle again," the doctor said.
"You may leave, we will call soon," the nurse said.
"But, my son," Misako started.
"He's in good hands, he'll be fine, I promise," the nurse assured.
"Ok, I love you," Misako called to her son as they left.
Lloyd then passed out as the doctor got to work on his ankle, again.
Lloyd woke up, alone in a dark room. He didn't know what had happened. He sat up and looked around, no one was there.
"Hello," he said.
No replied.
"Anyone there," he said, a little louder.
No replied. Lloyd began to panic, he was alone. Then a door opened.
"Ah, I see you're awake," a girl said.
"Where am I," Lloyd asked.
"You're fine. You're in a resting room," she said, calmly.
"Who are you," Lloyd asked.
"I'm Lucy," she replied, giving Lloyd a warm smile. "Are you hungry."
"A little," Lloyd replied.
"I brought you some food, If you would like it," Lucy said.
She placed a small tray on Lloyd's lap. It had macaroni and cheese on it.
"Thank you," Lloyd smiled.
He picked up a fork and took a bite. It tasted so good. Lucy sat in a chair beside him.
"How do you feel," she asked.
"What do you mean," Lloyd replied.
"You were out for almost a day, everyone was worried," Lucy explained. "Your mother was in a fit, she had to leave."
"I guess I'm just sore and tired," Lloyd said.
"Ok, that's good, you don't feel like throwing up, right," Lucy said.
"No, why," Lloyd asked.
"We were worried you became sick, but no, the smoke kept you out for a while," Lucy sighed.
"What time is it," Lloyd asked.
"10:00 at night," Lucy replied. "Why don't you rest and try to sleep a little longer. I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok," Lloyd said.
Lucy left, Lloyd finished eating, then fell back asleep.
