My heart couldn't stop beating, and it was like my ears were thumping.
I don't know if it was because I was bleeding out from a stab wound...
Or because a woman as beautiful as that was worrying about me so much.
" By God this injury is deep , how did that kulum even leave such a injury that quickly"
She says hurriedly forcing me to lie down and then using my shirt to press the wound.
I feel like there's a halo around her head...
Either that or im hallucinating from blood loss.
" Don't... don't worry so much.
The medical team would get here soon"
I say with a smile to reassure her .
Though I can tell it doesn't do much as her face is still contorted in a worrisome position.
Before I could say something else, men in white suddenly appear and lift me into a stretcher.
Wait they can come that fast... but the woman.
" Your...ah that's hurts... Tell me your name"
I shout and find myself at the back of a van and the Van door closing.
The medics press some round plastic thing on my face...
I think Im actually... falling asleep.
" Wait I didn't get your name"
I say suddenly sitting up and finding myself in a hospital bed.
And finding Thorne beside me
" You were out for the whole day , it's eleven pm .
Are you okay?"
He says staring at my injury.
" I am , I've been through worse haha"
That's a lie , I was never actually stabbed or brutally injured at the camp.
But I was looking at That Woman for so long I didn't even notice i had been cut that deep.
" Why did you chase that guy anyway, everyone knows it's dumb to chase a criminal down into the alleyways "
" I wanted my phone, that thing is expensive.
It costs half my monthly salary you know "
He chuckles, " Typically most wardens change phones all the time.
The newest model , the brand who has the newest model.
We have the money you know, the government covers everything.
Medical insurance, rent , clothing, food.
You just choose to buy too much Street food "
I frown at him " Why would I eat like a rabbit when there's delicious fried chicken"
" It's healthier "
" Healthier my ass , they just don't want to feed us good things...
Alright perhaps it's healthy.
But compared to the other meals I've tasted outside.
It doesn't compare "
Thorne laughs , shaking and clutching his stomach.
" Look at you being so picky with food , like three months ago you thought everything was delicious "
I find myself feeling suddenly annoyed.
I shove him
" Well because at the time all I had eaten was rotten Sl..."
I pause as I hear a female voice.
" I've been looking all over this hospital for you"
Gulp... she's here. But...I ... haven't brushed yet. Or combed my hair.
Shit
" Yeah...in here haha.
Did you go from room to room checking?"
She nods and starts talking about all the people who were sick.
And how grateful she is to God that he's keeping us away from deadly sicknesses.
I nod , but in all sincerity in just trying to not take my eyes lower than her face.
She's adorable really.
" Can you here me? What's your name ?"
Oh wait she's talking
"Im Darin , You ?"
I flash her the biggest smile I could muster.
" Im Freya "
She sits down on a chair next to me , and I feel my heart race again.
" Every now and again Kulums never fail to deepen my hatred against them
If we simply removed them all from this holy empire... We'd have a land completely cleared of sin .
But alas , we can't let them go unpunished for their crimes"
She says it as though... it's common knowledge.
Like it's a fact.
And my blood runs cold , it's like the racing in my heart stops.
" And your a warden it seems , you remember his face?
You should track him down and make sure he faces divine punishment.
You can't let him get away with such a grievous sin "
" I would rather simply leave him be , he sounded... very distressed "
I find my voice and say , trying to come to his defence.
" He stabbed you, there's nothing you can say that can defend such a behaviour Darin"
She says as though she's talking to a long known friend
Problem is in already scared to be her friend
