In Another Life
Chapter 5
Auntie Em!
I feel sick. Ugh... there are a bunch of people talking loudly.
"Jaime? Jaime! Are you alright- - someone go tell the nurse to call an ambulance."
Ambulance? As in to the hospital! "No!" I shout. Actually it was garbled and a mumble, I try again, "I'm fine! Just dizzy!" I don't even know where I am, but stopping the pandemonium would be a good thing. My vision is returning. And I'm surrounded by my classmates and teacher.
Anthony, Jud, Chase, Blake, Chavid, Theresa! There's no place like home!
"Sorry, just dizzy," I repeat. There, my voice doesn't sound like I'm coming off of a whole bunch of drugs. I sit up. Yep. All better. I'm not being pinned down by a terrifying (gorgeous) demon, I'm back at school, and completely not sure if it was all a dream and that I sleep walked my way here.
Theresa (the teacher) looks worried. "I think you should go to hospital- - or at least go home. Listen, lets have someone take you to the office and call your parents to pick you up."
I nod. Any reason to escape school was a good one to me. I reach out to Blake and am pulled up. I gather my things and he walks me to the office.
Everything I thought had happened I might have thought a dream, except for one thing. In my hand was Lina's maroon shirt. What a plus side. Part of an authentic costume! If only I'd taken the demon's talisman's with me as well.
