Chapter 9:
(Wendy's POV)
Standing before the girl that claimed to be Clara's daughter I couldn't keep myself from thinking this was a trap. I wasn't planning on telling her everything but something about her just made me distrust her. After the aging of everyone had stopped it became harder to tell how long we were in here but never had we guessed 50 whole years had passed. But as I thought about the time that had passed I couldn't help but think about all the things we had lost and I felt like a bottle of emotions had been opened. "Can I ask something, I had been told that you had talking cats here, what happened to them?" snapped from my thoughts I moved closer and stared straight into her eyes. They were different from Clara's, whilst Clara's had been almost black this girl's was a deep blue, most likely from her father.
"They left, but Carla said she would return with all of them to unite the guilds when a star of flames was born anew. She was always saying things like that," stepping back I watched her take me in, but before we could do anything else I heard the scream of a patient. Not feeling the need to tell Sophie where I was going as I rushed through the tunnels to the room of the screaming patient.
"It's coming, it's coming, darkness is on its way!" grabbing the wash cloth from the basin I placed it across the screaming man's head, hoping to calm him down but his red hair and bulging arms wouldn't stay still.
"Gildarts, you need to calm down!" raising my voice I pinched right at his neck and his movements stilled. Letting out a breath I looked at the once terribly strong man that had been one of the first struck down by what we called 'The Dark Wave'. It sent people screaming about darkness coming and saying they could predict things. At first we had listened to them but all it did was lead to more casualties. Walking back along the paths a hand soon came onto my shoulder making me stop. Turning around Romeo, who was now my second in command, was standing there with a worried look plain on his face as he stared at me. His father had died just recently from a wound to his stomach that without magic was impossible to heal. "What news of the other patients?" not bothering to ask if he was okay I knew that until this was over, none of us would be okay.
"Asleep again but we are running out of room for the injured Wendy, anymore and we'll…" he didn't need to finish. Anymore and we would need to send the healthiest back out to fight so we could continue to treat the wounded.
"Keep checking on everyone, I will join you shortly," turning around and walking back to Sophie I thought about all the reasons she could have for coming here and I resolved to ask her the minute I saw her but when I did I stopped. Instead of sitting strapped to the chair she was standing near her things, a golden box glowing in her hands and a blue glowing form of the necklace Carla and I had seen around Lucy's neck the day all this mess had started. "What the hell are you doing?"
