I was dead.
I knew it. The world was black, I couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, couldn't feel anything. I had thought that this would be different, being dead. I didn't think I'd be thinking anything. Or that there would be big white pearly gates and angels flying around. But there was just nothing.
I realized I could hear something. It was faint but I listened harder. Voices. Girls voices. Oh no, I thought, Angel and Nudge. They couldn't be dead too. The voices got louder, but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Then they stopped. But it was getting lighter. Maybe I wasn't dead after all.
My eyes fluttered open and I found myself staring at my ceiling. I was lying in my bed, in my room in my house. I wiggled my fingers and toes, checking that I didn't have any nerve damage. Then the pain hit. My ribs ached and I could feel the tearing of the tissue in my stomach where the knife had sliced through. The cuts all over my body stung. I almost wished I hadn't woken up.
Then realized that I wasn't alone in the room. Fang was slouched in a chair next to the bed, his head resting on his chest. I couldn't help but smile. He'd probably been sitting with me for however long I was out for.
I tried to sit up, but failed, being restricted by the bandages that were wrapped around my torso. I winced in pain, accidentally waking Fang up. He stirred in his chair, opening his eyes and running a hand over his face and through his hair, yawning. Then his eyes caught mine and he was immediately alert.
"Iggy, she's awake." He called softly.
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Four days. How do you feel?"
"I feel fine." I said, but he raised an eyebrow "if you define fine as like being run over by a bulldozer and chopped into little pieces."
He cracked a smile at that.
"What happened?" I asked him. The smile disappeared. "Fang, what happened?"
"The Eraser, he caught your knife and stabbed you while you were disorientated." I saw his eyes glazed over slightly. He was replaying the scene in his head.
"I watched you fall. Heard you call. I had to save you, so I did the only thing I could. I called Iggy so that he would get to you in time, then I used my power. I destroyed them all." He looked me in the eye and I was almost shocked by the pain in them. "I destroyed them all with one thought. I flew up into the rain so I could see, and then I killed them. I blacked out after that, landed on the roof Iggy said. He had to come and get me. Woke up two days ago."
"And you've been sat here since." I accused him, but there was playfulness in my voice.
His eyes narrowed "If you ever do that to me again, I will kill you myself." He said. I was about to reply when the door burst open and Iggy rushed in. He went to the other side of my bed and started poking me.
"Ow, Iggy what the hell are you doing?" I demanded trying to push him off me.
"Checking you out."
"What!"
He rolled his sightless eyes "Checking you're injuries out." He slapped my hands away and continued to poke my stomach, regardless of my protests.
"You should be fine in a few days. But until then, no flying, no running, no driving and definitely no fighting." Iggy announced.
"You're not a doctor." I growled at him. Being in pain made me a tad bit grumpy. And I didn't like being confined to a bed. "Where are the others?" I asked
"School." Iggy said as he walked towards the door. "Would her highness like me to bring her pancakes?"
I wanted to throw something at him, but couldn't move. "Fang, throw a pillow at him." He grabbed the pillow he had been using and chucked it straight at Iggy. He of course ducked and the pillow sailed harmlessly past, but he wasn't expecting a second pillow and it hit him straight in the head.
"Ow!" He complained. "It's not fair to throw things at the blind guy." He walked out of the room.
"Beware Fang, payback will come when you least expect it." He called from down the hall. I laughed, then winced.
