Anzu just sat there staring at her phone. Trying to find the best way to shape the conversation. What was she to be worried about? Odion was calm, cool and collected. He wouldn't lie to her nor waste her time. Anzu took a deep breath and called him. It had to be early morning over there by now. She sat chewing her nail waiting for him to pick up.

Ring ring...

Odion groaned and huffed

ring ring...

Looking over at the clock it read 6:30

ring rin.

"Sabah el kheer" (Good morning) he said in a gruff voice

silence

"Sabah el kheer" he said a little clearer

"O... Odion?"

surprised grasped him it was his turn to be silent. That gentle voice. Anzu?

"Hello, Odion?"

"Anzu, good morning" a smile on his face even though he was confused

"Good evening Odion"

Silence again

"Sooo are you going to tell me what is going on or am i going to have to beg?" a brighter smile graced his face "Cause you know i don't beg, not even for my life" a giggle on her end.

"Oh... right" she wasn't just calling to to talk to him. "Well where to start.. um..."

"The beginning. Please."

"Right the beginning... Well.. yesterday we were all standing in the study talking about what Marik has been doing lately and we hear a loud thud. We walk into the hall and see the Pharaoh laying there face down in the hall he hit hard. Of course we panicked and rushed to him..."

Anzu sat there hanging on every word. So he was back. Really Back. She let that sink in as she let Odion tell his tale. Doctors were called and a full examination was done. He was Healthy. Healthy as a horse he said. The only problem he had besides the lump on his head was the coma. The doctor was actually kind of baffled. He had brought a machine to check for brain waves to make sure he wasn't just a breathing vegetable. The doctor had said that he was in a functioning coma. Basically he was trapped in his body. But could understand and process everything around him. In other words he is awake while his body is asleep. The doctor has never treated it but he has read about it before he is going to speak with a group of peers and find the best course of action. So he is on an iv, catheter, heart monitor and a brain wave monitor. But in other words he is completely comatose.

Anzu couldn't believe what she was hearing. She waited until he had finished speaking.

"Wow" was all she could say

"yeah that is kind of how we are all feeling right now. Imagine being stuck in your own body unable to do anything or even fend for yourself. It has to be terrifying."

"Does he remember you?"

"Uh... excuse me Anzu i didn't catch that"

"I said does he remember you?"

"Um... I .. I don't know... We were wondering if you and your friends will be able to fly out here and you know..."

"Help?"

"Yes help... oh no no i mean.. would you like to see him?" suspicion ringing in his voice

She knew how Odion felt about her. He saw her as more. More than a friend. He wanted a relationship with her.

"To be completely honest Odion... I .. I don't know. I don't think i will be able to stand seeing one of my best friends like that." She phrased it carefully.

"... You don't have to pretend with me Anzu... Be honest with me and i will be honest with you that is how our friendship works"

"I am being honest Odion, we never had an actual relationship, He was my best friend. He knew everything about me. Even though i knew nothing about him. He left before there could be anything else" I could hear him nod over the phone in understanding.

"How soon can you be here?"

"Let me talk to the boys first then i will let you know. Okay?"

"Okay. Good night Anzu"

"Have a good day Odion"

Anzu sat there thinking for a moment coming up blank she stared at her feet.

"Now what..."
