"Mmmmfh mmm"
Groggily, I sit up in what seems to be a bed… In an infirmary?
"What the… Hssh! Fuck. My head."
My head, throbbing, I survey my surroundings, and can see I’m in a well equipped infirmary. There’s a drip attached to my arm. Taking a closer look at the drip, I run my other hand across my head and coupled with the pain all over my body I come to a conclusion. "I was… drugged I guess? And judging by my clothing, I was attacked with some kind of Ability… Wait. "
I touch my face and notice something missing. Looking to my left, I find my missing glasses laid out on the table next to me.
“Good, they seem ok… Thank god.”
My heart beat slows back down as I take a deep breath and calm down. I hold my glasses in my hands and close my eyes. I can feel a smile form across my mouth and then slowly place them back onto my face.
OK Isabelle, think. I went food shopping... someone hit me I think? Must have been an ambush…
I don’t remember anyone actually doing it.
And then…
I can hear steps outside, slowly become louder, stopping my train of thought for the moment. I pull the drip out of my arm.
“Someones here...”
The steps get louder and I stand up and get into a combat stance. The door opens and a guy with shaggy black hair walks in, with a pair of jeans over his shoulder.
"Oh, you’re awake now, Isabelle? How are you feeling? "
I raise my eyebrow slightly.
"How do you know my name? Moreover, why am I here?"
"Err.. that's mostly my fault... sorry."
No sooner than he finishes his sentence, I close the gap and grab him by his collar, ready to punch him.
"Ok, so start telling me why I shouldn’t pulp your fucking face right now… or..."
I can feel all the energy in my body just drop like a rock, as I almost fall over.
"Whoa! Careful! You shouldn’t be moving around-"
"So you have an Ability too, huh?” Ugh my head hasn't felt like this since the last time I was hungover… “I have you to thank for getting me out of that I suppose?”
I turn my head to meet his.
"Well err... yeah I suppose so..."
Is he…
"Are you blushing?"
"N, no! Of course not. Can you stand on your own? "
Sure you aren’t. I’m not blind. Heh. I can’t help but have a small smile on my face.
"Let's see." He steadies me as I try to stand up. "Thanks."
I can slowly feel myself get somewhat back to normal.
"I guess I was using you as a leaning post huh? Sorry about that.”
"It's cool, uh, no worries. Kinda my fault anyway."
He scratches his head.
"Do you remember anything from before you got here?"
I think for a moment, then shrug my shoulders.
"Not really... It's all cloudy; I remember… I just remember being taken by surprise… I don’t let people get the drop on me like that but, It was weird. I got caught totally off guard. I was fine and then darkness. I was in the city too, so someone would have seen something…"
"That sucks. Well, at least you're fine now. We should go speak to my dad. He might have some idea of what's going on."
"Okay, you might have to help me there though… You did a number on me."
I smile at him as I say this. He gets flustered and blurts out a reply.
"Sorry again about that..."
He supports me and helps me up.
"Up we go."
"So err, what's your name anyway?" I finally ask.
"Oh, right, sorry, Adam. Adam Yakage."
“Yakage? Wait… as in?" A Maipan name… he can’t be, surely?
Adam smiles lightly and replies.
“Yes, THAT Yakage.”
“I see… You have a more Elsanthuan first name like me, so I wasn’t sure.”
"Yeah, my dad's from Maipan." Adam Pauses. "Mom… was from here."
"'Was?"
I enquire, slightly puzzled.
Adam forces a smile, and replies.
"She... she died when I was still little."
Shit. The fuck? What’s wrong with me?
"Oh.... I'm sorry... I shouldn’t have asked. That was insensitive of me."
"You don’t need to worry, really."
Adam continues to smile and continues.
"You couldn't have known… and besides, again, I DID just recently blast you with a big ol’ chunk of electricity. I'm honestly shocked you’re up already. “
He looks to his shoulder and exclaims.
“Oh crap, I almost forgot. Put these on."
Adam hands me the jeans that were over his shoulder.
"They're mine but they should be ok for now, unless you want to walk around in those..."
I look down, reminding myself of the state of my clothing.
“Ah, right."
"I'll replace them... anyway I'll wait outside while you change."
Adam walks out of the room and the door shuts.
"Thanks..."
I take off my skirt.
That was pretty thoughtless of me... I know im not all together right now after whats happened but... fuck, I of all people should know better...
I get dressed and then meet Adam outside of the room and together we walk to the living room.
