. . .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.
