Chapter 13
I swoop down into the window, blowing in snow and cold air. I run over to North's workshop. He is concentrating on carving a car out of ice. I walk over to him to tell him the bad news.
"North I need to talk to you...it's important," I said.
He stops and turns around to give me his full attention. He could tell it was not good by the way I said it.
"Jack, what is it? What's going on?" He asked.
"It's not good. Jamie...he...he's hurt. He is in the hospital," I said, struggling to get my words out.
"Why, what happened?" He asked, concerned.
"He somehow fell and hit his head, I'm not sure how though," I said.
"Well, what's his condition?" He asked.
"Not good, he is in a coma and may have brain damage," I said, on the edge of crying.
"Well, is he going to wake up?" He asked.
"They don't know. He could wake up in a few days, a few weeks, or a few years," I said, sobbing lightly.
"Well, we have to notify the other guardians of this," he said.
"Alright, are we all going to go to the hospital?" I asked.
"Of course, we just have to let them know," he said.
"Should we take the slay?" I asked.
"Oh...um, that might be a slight problem," he said in a higher pitched voice.
"Why, what wrong with the slay?" I asked, raising a brow.
"It's under repairs right now," he said.
"Alright, well we will sort this out when the other guardians are here," I said.
"Alright, I'll call the guardians," he said.
North walks out of the room. I didn't see what he was doing in the other room, but I heard him pull some lever. I walk over to the window, there are lights in the sky like the aurora borealis. It was so beautiful that I did not want to stop looking out the window.
"Jack, get in here!" North yelled.
"Alright, I'm coming," I said disappointedly.
I left the window and walked out into the main room. North was by the Globe looking at the lights. He was pointing at Burgess, I looked at him for a seconded.
"Jack, a light just went out," he said.
"What, who could it have been?" I asked, concerned.
"Jack, go to Jamie; make sure everything is okay and I will tell the rest of the guardians what's up," he said.
"But North, shouldn't I tell them?" I asked.
"Just go, I'll tell them. Go!" He said.
I ran over to one of the windows and took off. I flew through the air as fast as the wind would take me, determined to get to Burgess as fast as I could. So many things were going through my mind. Was Jamie okay? Why did a light go out? Will I ever get to talk to Jamie again? My thoughts were so cluttered, I could not think straight. I was over Burgess now, flying over the town square. I fly towards the hospital, all awhile my mind is still racing. I land in front of the hospital and run inside. The nurse do not look up from their desk, she is on the phone. I see a bunch of people down the hall scrambling towards Jamie's room. This is it, my best friend is...gone.
