"this can't be happening" She started to breath heavly . Linas full body dissolved . She awoke a few minutes later with a sereously bad headach . "oow" she whinned . She heard voices around her . But they seemed slurred . " Miss Lina " . Lina shuddered to think that she heard Amelias voice . " Miss Lina" . Lina rolled over slowley . I keep hearing Amelia's name . I'm not dreaming . so that means . " NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Lina screamed . 'Miss Lina , Whats wrong" Asked the Black haired girl . " I- well um ... Had a bad dream" Lina Replide nervously ." oh , good thats it " . Lina looked around the room to see Amelia and Gourry sitting on chairs near her bed . " where am I ?" She gave the two a puzzled look . " your in a hospital " Said a tall lady ,as she walked in .



Lina looked closer at her . " oh where are my manners , my name is Onia . I'm a nruse here ." She gave lina a warm but creepy smile . " um My name is Lin- Luann"

Gourry and Amelia stared at her with worried eyes Gourry turned to Amelia , And whispered . " do you think she's lost it " Amelia shrugged .Lina kept smileing . After Onia left Lina turned to them " we really shouldn't use our real names " Gourry looked at her puzzled . "wh-" but befor he could finish , Onia was back carrying a small tray with a few pills on it . " Luann I've been asked to give you these " She handed Lina four small oval shaped pills . " please take them ever two days" . Onia left , smiling .



Lina gazed at the pills in wonder . " Gourry the reason we shouldn't use our real names is , well remeber those bandits . they probably have friends so ..." she let her word hang in the air " you get the idea" . Amelia Looked at her with a understanding look . " so" Amelia started " how did it feel to be dead?". Lina looked at her shocked . " What ? I didn't die " Lina was lying but she had too . She just couldn't tell them .

" do you not remeber what happend " Gourry asked . Lina lied and shook her head no . " All I rember was casting the dragon Salve and getting nocked down .". Amelia filled her in on what had happened .Gourry had told Amelia the minute she got there . And seeing that Gourry was too stupid to remeber it she told Lina from what she knew. " Man all this dying has gotton me hungry is there a inn near by ? " " i don't know , But are you sure you can eat after all of this ?" Amelia asked . " But of couse, I lina inverse can eat anytime " Lina smiled confidently . Amelia and Gourry looked at each other and shrugged .After leaving the Hospital Lina , Gourry and Amelia all walked to the nearest inn , Witch was right beside the Hospital .



"Lina ?" asked Gourry "Maybe you should take one of those pills now " Lina nodded and asked for a glass of water . Amelia and Gourry wathced her down the pill.

" done" . "so what would you like today Miss er-" Asked the waitress . " Lin- Luann , and I would think ...." After ordering the three sat there quite full , which is rather suprising when is come to Lina and Gourry . After they ate and paid the bill . The three went walking down the dusty road to a forest . They aproched the Forest . A small sign out side the edge read " The forest of Darkness" Lina gazed up " Whats so wierd about this forest ?" Amelia shuddered " I-I-IM not going in there" She whinned Lina looked at her " why ?" Lina Inverse Asked . " because its said that there are beasts in there that can't be beaten by Magic" . Lina glared at her " thats impossible . There no record of anything like that" . Amelia replide " ever wonder why , it because people go in but they don't come out "



Lina fliped her hair . " Yeah so we got a seceret weapon" The two Looked at her puzzled " Who-what ?" asked Gourry . Lina Smiled " Gourry of couse" Amelia and Gourry Both jumped back . "But Lina-" His voice was uncertain . " Amelia said no magic could be used remeber" . Lina looked at him " What are you saying that... " Lina gave a little laugh " Your a Sorcerer " . Gourry shook his head . And then patted his Sword . " lina have you forgotton I own the Sword of Light" . Oh, hell how could I forget . Speaking of which then were screwed. " OH HELL !" She grabed the two by there Collors ( of there Shirts ) . " COME ON ! " Amelia was ranting and raving , Gourry on the other hand was used to Lina draggiing him in Bad Predicoments .
