Astrid POV

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know I'm waking to the coldness of the wind. I was sore and still from sleeping on City Halls steps and at first didn't know where I was but then it all came flooding back to me. How hurt everyone was, what had happened to the town, and Sam.

I quickly scrambled up into a sitting position and tried to rub some feeling into my bones and crept my way downstairs to see how Sam and Lana were doing.

It was eerily quiet down there. This was a big change to how it was earlier that day with kids screaming and crying and just complete chaos now instead there was just the steady rhythm of deep sleep breathing. When I heard that I moved even quieter then before and hoped I didn't wake anyone.

When I actually entered the infirmary everyone was asleep except Edilio who was watching everyone with large purple bags under his eyes looking like he was about to fall asleep himself. He didn't even seem to notice that I had walked in.

"Hey," I said when he didn't notice me. He made a little jump and said,

"Oh, Astrid it's only you, you scared me."

"Sorry, I just wanted to come in and check on Sam." He kind of had a quizzical look on his face when I said that and then seemed to come to terms why he was in the infirmary in the first place.

"Umm... Sam isn't here anymore he-"

"What! He what! He didn't- did he!"

"No Astrid, calm down. What I was going to say was that he wasn't here anymore, he got moved to your house to recover because this place is so packed and it would probaly help him rest better without everyone around."

"Oh, Gosh Edilio don't scare me like that I was so worried he wouldn't make it- he's going to be ok right?"

"Yes, Dahra said he was going to be fine but there could be a chance of infection but it's like that with any wound." Astrid was now completely relieved and felt that she could sleep for days after all that worrying but it looked like Edilio could use some help looking after the parents. Sam could wait a little longer since he's just sleeping AND is going to be fine.

"Edilio do you need some help here because now that Sam's ok I think I'll be a little less crazy and you seem like your dead on your feet."

"That's ok Astrid you don't have to someone should be relieving me in the next hour or so and then trust me I will be sleeping the second after they do."

"Are you sure? I mean a couple extra minutes of sleep couldn't hurt and I haven't really been much of a help today."

"Its fine Astrid, really I'll be ok, I've been awake longer than before. Besides you probably really want to see Sam. I know you Astrid you need to see him before your done worrying." He was right she wasn't completely positive that Sam was just dandy but she trusted Edilio and he did take some of the weight off of her shoulders.

"Wait a second, Edilio, why didn't you guys wake me when you moved him you must have noticed that I was right there?"

"You looked so peaceful and you really needed it sorry about the soreness though, we really didn't want to wake you."

"Its fine I just wanted to know. Hey where did you say Sam was again?"

"At your house because he sleeps there most nights so we just thought that would be the best place for him to recover and its pretty close to City Hall so that if, and that is a large if, something does go wrong he will be really close."

"Thanks,"

"No problem, glad I could be of service," Edilio said with a mock salute to her.

Astrid was then stolen away by a new source of energy which she used to carry herself closer to Sam as quickly as possible.
