Hey there everybody. A slight discrepancy was brought to my attention. It
seems that in the last chapter I said that Nami had fallen fifty stories,
but in the third book of Dead Souls, I said that anything above the
thirtieth floor was Jumari's quarters, and that no one was allowed up
there. I guess what I was doing was simply trying to make it seem a lot
more impressive a height, so if you really care all that much, then you can
pretend that it was fifty stories all along. If not, well, sorry!
I'm thrilled that it's finally Christmas. This means that I get to get all sorts of fun presents! That makes me very happy!
Now, I didn't really feel like writing this chapter, but then I saw some of the nice reviews that I got, which is like a grand total of 1, thanks so much to Keetra, who has been MOST faithful in reading and reviewing. Yeah, I know. Another cliffhanger, doesn't life suck?
Read and Review!

Chihiro sunk to the ground, not sure what was going on. It seemed that her brain wasn't working, that nothing that was surrounding her made sense. Everything was blurry, and then it all went to black as her head hit the ground with a sickening thud.
*~*
Haku turned from the window only to find that Chihiro had passed out and was now laying limp on the cold flagstones. He quickly scooped her up into his arms and took her into the bedroom, placing her in the bed and arranging the blankets around her so that she wouldn't be cold. He then left the room in search of the others.
Once he had been able to locate Knoma, they headed outside and found Nami. He was lying limp in a deep snowdrift, and when they examined him closer, they were able to determine that his chest was rising and falling slightly.
He was alive!
They carried him inside, bringing him up to the room and placing him on the bed next to Chihiro, then went back into the study to see just what had happened. During this time, Link had joined them, not saying a word but helping them to search for clues.
The room bore no evidence of a struggle, and there was no sign that anyone but Nami had been in there at all that day. The window had been open, so that meant that for all intents and purposes, it had been opened before Nami fell. They had found Nami on his back, so that meant that he couldn't have been pushed from behind out the window. They had absolutely no leads, nothing to go on.
Finally, after a while of finding nothing to indicate to them how he fell, they gave up and went back into the bedroom. Their only hope of finding out what had happened to him was for him to wake up and tell them himself, and it seemed clear that he wasn't in any position to do that.
Chihiro groaned, raising an arm and attempting to block out the light that was streaming through the open window. Haku and Link rushed to her side while Knoma went and closed the window so that the light wouldn't disorient her upon her awakening.
"W-What h-h-happened?" She groaned as she tried to sit up, and Haku gently pressed her down back into the bed.
"Shhhh. It's okay. It seems that Nami had a little fall, but we think he's going to be all right."
Chihiro looked up a them, then smiled.
"Oh. Hello Link. Back already?" He nodded.
"It wasn't that difficult," he lied. In truth, the torture that he had just recently undergone was one of the most difficult and strenuous that he had faced to date. Knoma gave him a rather peculiar look, then turned back to wetting a small towel, which he passed to Haku to put on Chihiro's forehead. She sighed deeply, her eyes closed.
"That feels real good."
"I know. Now, just stay there and rest. You took quite a shock."
She nodded, and in no time at all drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
The three boys got up and went outside of the room.
"So, what do you think?" Knoma looked at Haku.
"I just don't know WHAT to think. It all seems so bizarre. The entire thing doesn't make sense." He looked very downtrodden.
"Well, let's review what we've got so far." Link looked at both of them. "We found Nami on his back in a deep snowdrift, clearly haven fallen from quite some height. Neither you nor Chihiro heard anything suspicious the entire time that Nami was in the room next to you. It would seem that either he or his attacker opened the window before pushing him out, and he was pushed in the chest, because he WAS found on his back."
"We know everything except the specific details of the attack, and without those, we've got nothing to go on." Haku turned and walked back into the study, looking around very carefully.
"Hey, look!" Link walked over to the desk and pulled away from it a fragment of black cloth.
"It's black, and there are really only two people in the tower right now that we know about who wear black."
"Yeah. Link and Jumari."
I'm thrilled that it's finally Christmas. This means that I get to get all sorts of fun presents! That makes me very happy!
