"Is he going to be alright?" Katie voiced echoed in the desolate room confronting a doctor.
"Your friend has 79 gun wounds on him, he's not doing too well, or at least at this rate. That's all the information we really have right now." The man said looking at some papers on his clip board.
Katie sat in a chair and buried her face within her arms. She had many thoughts about what happened out there on the street. But most of all she couldn't believe she shot him with her own arrows.
Two hours passed and a nurse had entered…..
"I'm sorry ma'am but we have to ask you to leave now" she stated in a sorry voice.
"Please miss…let me stay the night…Zack is special to me and I need him by my side."
The nurse smiled then asked…
"You love him do you not?"
"Yes…..very much…."
"Well here you go.." The nurse said handing her a form.
Katie checked the room number and headed down the hall. She was frightened to see what had become of Zack. As she entered the room, she slowly peaked around the corner at Zack. Tears started to race from her cheeks.
Zack…lay nearly lifeless it seemed in his hospital bed. The whole night was pretty much silent. Katie did not sleep at all. Zack had found the strength to speak at one point…
"Katie..?" He asked whispering her name.
"Zack…I'm here, don't worry."
"You're the one a little worried." He said wiping tears from her cheeks.
"Do you know why I never talk?"
"I haven't really thought about it."
"I was four…Rainy as ever I remember. I was in the back seat. Mom was talking funny that night. I now know that my father and herself were drunk as anything. Lights got bright from all directions…"
"A…..car crash…?" Katie asked. Zack nodded.
"You're the only one I've talked to in ten years."
Katie smiled at Zack's statement.
"Aw how sweet." She letting out a big smile and started to blush a little.
Zack stood form the bed, and grabbed his staff.
"All better." He said examining himself. The wounds, the blood, everything…had disappeared. He put his arm around Katie and raised his staff. The two had vanished from the hospital…
The two walked down a moonlit street, beautiful night it was. Zack was silent most of he walk home.
"Katie…May I..um…" Zack was too nervous
"What is it?" Katie asked giggling a little and talked in a tone, that she knew what Zack had wanted to ask her, for she was thinking the same.
"Look.." Zack said pointing towards the sky. Glistening petals off a tree had been blowing in the wind.
"Pretty." She said catching one.
As the wind passed the two, a strong moment could be felt between the two.
Zack and Katie embraced one another and spun in the wonderful scenery of the petals. Then, he made a wonderful white, silky ribbon appear in his hands. He tied in her hair ever so gently and Katie smiled a wonderful smile.
Then in the moment, the connections between the two were so strong and passionate. True love was what had been found. They both slowly leaned in and then, their lips coming in contact with one anothers. Katie slowly lifted her hand and moved it across Zack's cheek, and the moment was beautiful as any moment could be. Their lips had separated and Katie was embracing Zack.
"I don't want to let go." She whispered looking straight into his eyes.
The two made their way to a nearby tree where Zack had sat down and Katie rested her head on his chest. Zack then put his arm hesitantly around her and whispered…
"I love you Katie."
Just as this had occurred explosions set off every 5 seconds. The two jumped in alarm.
Now a raging war had started between these young fighters and the Kiilla…
