Ulrick set Yumi on the ground. His hands were numb and shaking from carrying her all night. yet he didn't mind, he was more shaken up from the fact she looked dead. He reached over to her neck and pressed his index finger against it trying to feel her heart beat.
It took him a few seconds to find it but in the end he did; It was there, pumping dangerously slow, almost daring to come to a halt.
What the fuck had the man gave her? Thought Ulrick because whatever it was, it was literally killing her.
Ulrick hurriedely stretched and un-numb his hands before picking herback up and continuing the rest of the way back to school.
Odd woke up. He looked around the room sleepily, Ulrick had probably left for breakfeast already because he was nowhere to be found. It was strange though, Ulrick always did his bed before stepping out of the room.
Odd got out of bed, yawned and stretched. It was also strange that Ulrick hadn't woke him up. He always did.
Odd shrugged off the thoughts and grabbed a towel and headed for the showers.
This was going to be a weird day. He made out.
Ulrick reached the school tired and sweaty. His eyelids were dropping and he needed rest. He knew Yumi was dying, but sleep was overtaking right now that it didn't allow desperation or sadness to seep in.
He was at the front porch of the little infirmary house. He knocked but knew there was going to be no answer, he waited a few seconds though, just in case. Then, when nobody answered, he layed Yumi on the porch and he layed beside her on his side so he could look at her.
He watched how beautiful she looked asleep. Most people, he thought, would probably look sick. But Yumi, although she was bathed in cold sweat and her veins were clearly noticible through her white skin, looked peaceful. Almost as she was happy to go.
Ulrick shrugged off the thoughts. Yumi wasn't going anywhere. Then, not wanting to, the fell of the warm wood under him lullabied (yeah i know I miss spelled that) him to sleep.
Odd,whistling happily,walked to the showers passing an exit which had a little window that had the view of the infirmary. He stopped abrutly, his lips still in an "o" formation from whistling, and walked backwards to the door again.
He saw, through the thin, vertical, rectangle window, two bodies laying on the porch. He recognized them immediately.
"Ulrick! Yumi!" He screamed, behind the door, trying to get their attention.
Not even a twitch.
Odd frowned, weird. Concerned, he opened the door and walked towards them, his towel still drapped around his shoulder. He kneeled beside Ulrick and shook him, trying to wake him up to ask him how he and Yumi ended up in this abnormalsituation.
Nothing. Odd could tell Ulrick was in deep sleep by the way his chest moved up and down heavily. He was probably awake all night and was knocked out right now.
He left Ulricks side and went to Yumi, hopefully, she would wake up and tell him what happened.
As soon as Oddbend down toYumi's side, he noticed something wrong about her. She was skinnier than the last time he saw her. She had a deep shade of purple on her cheeck, most likely a slap judging by the way it was shaped, and she was ghostly pale.
He shook her a little bit. Her body was stiff and he noticed her chest wasn't going up or down. This wasn't right.
Quickly, hesnatched her cold, stone wrist and tried to feel the pulse.
He felt nothing.
He replaced his finger and pressed it harder, desperately attempting to receive a pulse.
Still nothing.
In shock, he shook her again and again calling out her name.
"Yumi? Yumi?"
Ulrick woked up startled. There were bickering voices coming out of his room.
Or was it his room?
He looked around. The room he was in that was definately not his, was wider and there was a sink against the wall in front of him with lot's of things like cotton balls and a fair display of bottles on the counter.
Were was he?
He looked at the window that was beside the edge of his bed. The light that came in was mandarin orange. It must be late afternoon.
Okay, you can come in but you can't wake him up understood? Said a voice from outside the room.
Alright, alright. Came the understanding voice of Odd.
Ulrickstared as the door swung opened and in came an irritated looking Odd staring at the floor like a little kid who got angry at the grocery store because they didn't buy him candy.
"What's up Odd?" Asked Ulrick, suprising Odd.
"Oh, your awake?" Said Odd startled.
"Umm. Yeah." He said.
Odd stared at him without saying a word. He looked petrified, his eyes glassy.
"What?" Asked Ulrick, goosebumps riding through him. There was something in the atmosphere Odd came in with. A strong feeling.
"Nothing." Said Odd flatly.
That's when it hit him, I mean Ulrick that is. All of a sudden, flashbacks from the night burst in his head. And as they passed, one name lingered in his mind. Yumi, Yumi, Yumi...
"Where's Yumi?" Asked Ulrick.
Odd said, did, nothing. He just stood there, hands in his pocket, like a statue.
"Where's Yumi?" Repeated Ulrick, desperation running through him.
Odd just stared, eyes glassy, showing no feelings.
"She's dead." He finally answered.
The room went cold and everything went silent.
The end. Yeah right, Whatever, there's still one more chapter left.
