As we all started piling through the doors to the back room, a nurse stopped us.
"I'm sorry, only four of you can come back here." she stated urgently, holding up her hands. I was the first to walk forward. Portlyn, Nico (I finally got his name down), and Blondie followed.
"Fine." grumbled Grady. "I'll just stay alone."
"I'm here!" the little girl popped up, causing us all to shout out in shock.
"We gotta go." Portlyn said, turning and following the now-far-away gurney. I hurriedly followed.
We all cramped into a room that contained sonny. Nurses ran back and forth, reading stats and yelling random things to the doctor.
Mostly, I just heard, "Her pulse is down. Her skin is burning hot."
I shrank back against a wall and slid down onto the floor with my head in my hands.
Sonny's POV
I heard the beeping sound of my heart first. Then mixed voices all around me. And then I heard the sound of my own steady breathing. My eyes flew open and I gasped for breath as I began to feel claustrophobic. People were surrounding me in blue uniforms. I was in a hospital. Then a familiar face popped up.
"Sonny!" Tawni yelled.
"Finally!" Chad yelled, popping up beside her. My skin burned and my stomach was still swirling too much to talk, but I nodded and closed my eyes again. I was so tired. Chad sighed.
"Sonny? Do you remember any jokes?" he said. I could tell he was trying to keep me awake.
"Why isn't there sun at a castle?" I whispered, half-opening my eyes.
"Why?" he asked, tears glistening on his eyes, threatening to spill over. He attempted to blink them back. They lessened, but still covered his eyes.
"Because it's filled with knights." Chad smiled sadly before sighing. He looked into my eyes. I stared into his blue pools before I heard the loud sound of the heart machine's single, droned out beep. Then my eyes closed again. I knew it was over.
Sorry for the extreme shortness! This was supposed to be longer, but I didn't have much time :-)
