Everyone blinked a few times while looking down at him.
'O-kay…so they aren't saying anything.' Wizardmon thought to himself.
Then Katie smiled, "You're at our home. I'm Katie. And this is John." She said and pointed at John who just nodded. "And this is David," Katie said as she pointed at the stronger guy, who just smiled and said hello.
"How did I get here?"
"Remember…you saved us. John carried you in here."
"Oh yeah…is everyone alright?"
"Yeah…we're just fine, thanks to you."
"That's good," Wizardmon sighed and nearly fell asleep till he started coughing. After he stopped coughing, his chest began to loath in pain and it made him grunt a bit.
"Are you alright? Where else are you feeling pain?" Katie asked.
It was hard for him to answer, not only did he feel pain but he also couldn't breathe very well.
"Looks like he's having a hard time breathing," John said.
Katie looked at him a bit worried, then back at Wizardmon, "Is that true."
Once Wizardmon managed to calm himself down, he looked at her and nodded weakly.
"He might've broken a few ribs," David said, "Remember how that monster rammed his pincer into his chest then rammed him into a wall, that could've caused the problem."
"When did you get so smart?" Katie smirked.
David smiled sheepishly.
"But this isn't the time to joke around, we should get him to a hospital," Katie said.
"But it's late…I don't even think it's open," John said pointing at the clock."
"It's a hospital John! They're always ready for emergencies."
"Not at this time of night! It's nearly mid-night! Now go to bed!" John yelled back then turned around to go to his own bedroom.
David tried to say something, but backed down…he really didn't want to fight him.
"Sorry Katie, you know how John gets at this time of night."
"Yeah," Katie sighed.
"Well…I'm gonna go see how the research on our little friend is going, take care," David said leaving.
Katie just nodded and looked at Wizardmon who was now asleep. She looked closely at him, taking note of his scar.
"That's funny, he has it on the same eye as John." She thought for a moment, "I wonder if he was betrayed…just like John was."
She sat for a while, soon minutes passed by and she tried not to fall asleep. 'If John doesn't want to take him to the hospital, then I'll just have to take care of him till he does,' she thought to herself. She looked over to him, he looked like he was suffering a lot. Not only from pain, but something else. She slowly picked up her hand, then moved it over toward his forehead. Her palmed rested on his forehead, till she quickly removed it, "He has a fever!" She thought to herself again, 'A fever…can injuries really cause a fever? I was never good at these kind of things, I should have paid more attention in school.' She giggled to herself.
Wizardmon woke up from the giggle, slowly he turned his head toward her in confusement, "Aren't you…going to sleep?"
"Hm!" Katie said as she turned her attention to him, "Oh! You're awake. I'm not going to sleep, someone needs to keep an eye on you."
Wizardmon paused for a second, staring at her. What's with this girl anyway?
Katie smiled again, "Are you feeling alright, you don't seem to be in much-"
But Wizardmon cut her off, "I feel a lot of pain, but I'm used to it so I don't complain."
Katie frowned and looked to the side, "Sorry…I guess I don't know much about your past."
Wizardmon looked up into her eyes, "Betrayal is a sad thing…that is all I'm going to say."
Katie looked at him, but he had already fallen asleep again. 'So…he was betrayed. Just like John…' Katie thought to herself and looked at her knees.
That morning, things weren't going well. Either if it was the fact Wizardmon still was in pain, or Sarah was just being plain annoying.
"I want to see him! Why wont you let me see him Katie?" Sarah whined at the door way, trying to pass David.
"Because, he's in no condition to be near you!"
"Oh don't be mean! I'm not going to harm him or anything!"
"You're already harming me," Katie said under her breath.
"Are you ready to go?" John asked as he walked past Sarah and David.
Katie nodded, "Of course I am."
John just nodded and went over to pick Wizardmon up.
"Can I come with?" Sarah screamed as Katie and John walked past her.
"NO!" Both of them shouted and hushed up Sarah.
David laughed.
"Are we nearly there?" Katie asked as they drove toward the hospital.
"No, and it's not good that there's a traffic jam coming up," John pointed out.
"DAMN!" Katie yelled and slammed her fist onto the car window.
"Please don't break my car window Katie," John said calmly.
"Oh…sorry, "Katie said rubbing her hand, that actually hurt.
Time passed, and finally they made it to the hospital.
"Let's hurry! I don't know if he can take the pain anymore!" Katie said as she rushed John whom just calming walked out of the car and walked to the back door to get Wizardmon.
Katie jogged in place waiting for John to come.
"You know you're acting like your sister," John said.
"Sarah?" Katie said and stopped hopping, "…Never!"
John smiled and picked up the pace a bit.
Once they got inside, the waiting room was full of many people and Digimon.
"Looks like it's Digimon Sick day or something," Katie said sarcastically.
John smiled, "Looks like we'll have to set him against a wall …there aren't any seats left."
"Sheesh…people should look at his condition and move aside or something," Katie mumbled."
"That's how people are Katie," John said calmly.
"I know…" Katie sighed. It went silent, till Wizardmon's small grunts of pain turned their attention to him.
"Should we ask for an emergency stroller or something?" Katie asked.
John nodded and walked
toward the counter. Katie watched…seeing that there was a long line
and it would take a while, then turned her attention back to
Wizardmon. She thought for a second, then took off her jacket and
folded it like a pillow.
"Here," she said, laying it by his
side so he could lie down.
"Thank you, Katie," Wizardmon breathed, looking up at her.
She smiled back then looked up to see John arguing with the lady at the counter, "Uh oh…looks like something bad is going on…I'll be right back."
Wizardmon just nodded as he watched her get up and head toward John.
Katie met John halfway as he headed back. "And?" Katie asked.
"And…! Well…SHE doesn't believe me!"
"Huh?"
"She thinks I'm just a troublemaker trying to cause trouble for the hurt and ill here."
"You should've dressed into more proper clothing John," Katie giggled.
"I'm not laughing, Katie!"
"What's with you John? Why are you so concerned?"
"It's his ability…"
"What?"
"Yesterday, David and Paul told me about some of his abilities."
"And?"
"Remember Fang? My dog?"
"Yeah…but he's been paralyzed for a week now."
"That's the thing…Wizardmon have the ability to heal. So maybe he could heal Fang."
Katie looked at John, who seemed really upset.
"Look," Katie said placing a hand on his shoulder, "This'll work out, go back to the desk and get one of those tickets that have numbers on them…that way we can prove to that lady we're not a bunch of troublemakers."
John looked back at Katie and smiled, "Ok…you're right. But are you sure he'll hold on for that long? Our number would most likely be very high."
"Don't worry," Katie winked, "He's got me to comfort him."
"Of course, how could I have forgotten," John smiled sarcastically and headed back to the desk to get a number ticket.
