Chapter 2: The Savior in the Darkness
Jim only awoke when he heard a jumble of familiar voices. He tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't. There wasn't an ounce of strength left in him.
The next thing he was aware of was the feeling of arms. One was around his shoulders, and one was under his knees (this one was metal). He knew immediately who's strong arms lifted him. Silver. But it couldn't be...he wasn't here, he was gone...or was he?
He forced himself to open his eyes, and sure enough, it was him. Jim quickly closed his eyes again, though; he was tired and in pain.
Where was Silver taking him? Back home? Or maybe somewhere where he would be healed? As time wore on, Jim came up with many possibilties, his thoughts all that he could concentrate on.
Quite a while later, Silver began to speak, his gruff but charming voice seeming out of place after the silence.
"Ah, Jimbo. I've missed ya."
And to his own surprise, Jim found the strength to reply.
"I've missed you, too, you old scallywag."
Silver shushed him. "Jus' relax. Yer gonna be fine."
Jim nodded slowly, every movement killing him inside.
When they finally arrived at the hospital, Jim was asleep, a smile on his pale face, his dreams of Silver, the savior in the darkness.

Chapter 3: In a Hospital Room
Jim slowly opened his eyes, and thinking he would cringe at the brightness, he got quite the surprise. It was dark in his room. He struggled to sit up, and it hurt, but not as much as before.
He looked around the room.He was laying on a feather bed, complete with white sheets. There was a sink in the corner, and a mirror over it. The bedside table had a flower vase on it, and the room smelled too clean. Then something caught his eye.
John Silver was asleep on a chair in the corner. He was snoring quietly, and he looked so peaceful, so innocent. Jim smiled to himself. He could almost see the boy that Silver had been so long ago.
He stayed sitting up, watching his hero sleep. He soon remembered his dream, and began to blush. It was beautiful. It didn't seem like a dream at first, it seemed more like reality, only too good to be true. Like heaven.
Just thinking about it gave him butterflies. It made him wonder what Silver thought of him. Did he feel the same? And Jim realised how much he wanted to be near to him. For him not to object.
Lost in his thoughts, Jim didn't even realise that he was slowly climbing out of bed. He didn't feel the pain, as much as it was real. As his bare feet touched the cold floor, he continued to look straight ahead. He knew what his goal was, but was almost afraid to follow through with his thoughts. Maybe, just maybe...
Jim walked towards the sleeping pirate, not completely aware of what was happening. He shuffled across the floor as if floating, seeming almost possesed, not himself. His heart pounded in his ears, and a feeling of nervousness spread over his being. This was it. Now or never.
