Chapter 3: unconsciousness

Chryst

That one name rang through her mind as she sank deeper and deeper into unconsciousness.

She woke up a while later, feeling aches all over her body, and rolled to her side to get a better view of her surroundings. She sat up and robbed her sore head.

"Oww…what happened to my head…it's killing me."

At this time all she took another look around her, and all she could see was endless darkness.

"Where am I?…I hope I am not stuck in some dream world or something."

She looked around, more afraid than ever.

"Hello…is anyone there? Can anyone help me here?" Chihiro hollered.

She stood up and walked around aimlessly, hoping there is some sort of light somewhere to just get away from all this darkness.

"I bet that Chryst will be worried about me…really worried in fact," Chihiro muttered to herself as she kept looking for an escape.

Mean while in the present world….

"Chi," yelled Chrystal into Chihiro ears, "wake up…you got to wake up…come on Chi, don't die on me…what would your parents think of me….CHIEEEEE"

Chrystal kept yelling and shaking Chihiro until a boy in his early twenties with sea blue eyes and golden hair wiping around face steps off the stairs of the seating area of the lecture hall and put a had on her head.

"Chrystal…stop your yelling….your yelling won't help anyone much except for deafening everybody's ears," Serg turned around and faced a random person, "you…I want you to phone the ambulance…and report back to me…do you understand?'

The person he asked ran out of the lecture hall as fast as he could.

Noticing that his orders were being followed, he turned his attention back to Chihiro and the hysterical Chrystal.

"Now Chrystal…take a deep breath and calm down," Serg said as he patted her arm.

Chrystal wiped her head around facing him, shoulder squared ready to punch the guy in the nose, eyes glaring the life out of everything, her face red with rage.

"You want me to calm down when my best friend is laying unconscious right there in front of me! I don't think so Minster!"

"But being hysterical is not going to do us any good right now…it's not like we can bring her back out of that unconscious state…only doctors have the power to do that…and I don't think they can to tell you the truth," Serg looked at Chrystal in the eye calmly, like explaining the situation to a little kid.

Chrystal's eyes narrowed, stood up, separating herself from Serg and sat herself next to Chihiro where she could keep an eye on everyone, and would not let anyone touch her…except maybe the paramedic, since they would be helping her instead of hurting her like everybody else. She stood guard over Chihiro's body like a mother protecting her baby, yet though not as intense. She growled at everyone who had himself or herself one inch from Chihiro, and hit anyone who touches her…and again except for the paramedics.

Once Chihiro was transported to the hospital and was attached to machineries that monitors her vital signs and to the salt water that feeds her while she is unconscious, Chrystal took a seat beside her and pouring her heart out, holding onto Chihiro's hand.

"Chi…don't die on me, I'll never force you to do anything again…I swear with my hand over my heart….Chi…just come back….Chieee…" tears kept raining down her cheeks, down her face, pooling themselves onto the sheet covering Chihiro, and with that she fell into a dreamless sleep.
