Chapter three: A fading hope.

"Without the demon I was slowly dying, I knew this and so did every one else. The wounds that demon had given me were starting to take their toll and I knew that I would soon fall without the demon's help… I just could not accept it; Death was much better than a false life."

Flashback

Chu Sin awakens and looks around seeing the doctor and Chu Naia; he tries to get up but is held down by Chu Naia.

"What are you doing?" She shakes her head as the doctor looks over him and his bloodstained sheets.

"He's bleeding both on the outside and on inside the most likely…" She sighs.

"Is there nothing that can be done? My father wants him alive and we need him alive… What can we do to help him?"

The doctor looks over him and takes off the sheets, he then removes Chu Sin's shirt and looks upon the deep wound on his chest.

"He needs medicine and blood to replace what he's losing… I will go get the medicine you stay and if he starts getting worse call me." The doctor leaves and she shakes her head looking over at him.

"You're a lot of trouble you know, I don't even know why my father wishes to save you…" He sighs and shakes his head.

"I've done a great evil to this world, and your father knows that… I don't wish to be a burden on your family but… I wish to help the people." She sits down on a chair near by him and picks up a damp cloth from a bowl of water on the nightstand. He knows that with in the water contains some herbs that are spouse to help with his wounds.

"This will hurt! So try not to move." She places the damp cloth on his wounded chest and he flinches and blacks out from the pain.

He awakens with the doctor at his side.

"You're awake and very lucky to be alive… If it was not for Chu Naia, you would be dead." Chu Sin shakes his head and looks around not seeing Chu Naia.

"What happened?" He tries to sit up but fails, he looks back up at the doctor.

"Your wounds got worse, she came and got me we nearly lost you due to blood loss, so we took some blood from her and gave it to you, applied the medicine to your wounds, and you started to get better."

"How long was I out for?" He looks down at his bandaged chest feeling bad and wondering how Chu Naia is doing. The doctor sees this and smiles nodding his head.

"You were out for a week, but Chu Naia is doing fine, she's just a bit weak right now. Now rest; the Demon's grasp has almost fully faded from you."

"I don't know if it ever will…" Chu Sin sighs and falls into a deep sleep.
