. . .And On The Seventh Day

By. Tate Icasa

Part Seven: The Original Chapter 13, slightly edited.

We were back to sitting against the wall.

Suddenly I hear scraping near the entrance.

I look over there curiously, but I don't expect what comes next.

The rocks blocking the entrance collapse and scatter across the floor.

"Yeah! Good job, Bolmeteus!" Shouts a boys voice.

A group of people step into the cave, and light from outside spills in.

I stand, lifting Hakuoh's limp form.

"Who are you?" Asks the girl Mimi, as I hand Hakuoh to a tall man with spiky black hair.

"I'm Kitami. We need to get to a hospital now." I say, looking at Hakuoh.

"We're parked right outside." Says another man.

Shori nods and carries Hakuoh out. The rest of us follow after him.

And those questions best left unanswered. . .were left unasked.

For a while anyway.

Hakuoh was unconscious for most of the next three days, but he pulled through.

It took me about that long to adjust to being Mortal.
