CHAPTER TWENTY
"Huh? Where am I?"
Iris mumbled out loud to herself, sitting up quickly on a bed. Her head was aching and she felt as if she had a dream about falling. After pressing her temples and noticing the white bandage around her forehead, she recalled that her falling wasn't actually a dream and was in fact what really happened.
She studies the place she is in which looked like a small hotel room with brown dominating the furniture colour. When she turns to her left, she sees Logan lying unconscious in a separate bed, all bruised up. He was also bandaged especially his left hand which was badly injured.
"Oh, good you're awake."
Luke said, startling Iris. He was just coming in the room followed by Ella who immediately goes and hugs Iris tightly. This stings her a little due to her injuries making her squeal in pain.
"Oops, sorry, kinda crushed you too hard..."
Ella pulls back, giving a nervous smile.
"What happened?"
"After escaping, we went to the nearby houses telling them to move away because these houses were away from the town and near the building. Also the blast combined with the fall, made very huge rubbles fall a distance. We went looking for you two and found you both unconscious with scratches all over you. You're lucky the trees actually helped soften the fall and not hurt you more."
Luke explained, handing her a glass of water to drink from.
"...you know you were actually on top of Logan and he had his arms wrapped around you to shield you..."
Ella grinned, trying to tease Iris who punches her in the arm in response. Trying to hide a small blush creeping up her face.
"Where is Lucy?"
She changed the subject.
"She is taking care of the hotel bill. We couldn't take you to the nearby hospital because Lucy said that it'll be better if no one finds out that we all were ever there in the first place."
Luke said, pouring more water in the glass for Iris after she motions him to.
"How is he doing?"
Iris then gazed towards Logan, who looked more like he was sleeping than being knocked out.
"He is doing okay...quite good actually except his left hand...what happened to it?"
Luke inquired.
"It was like something passed through it, there was a hole in it."
Ella quivered at the image.
"Duncan's knife went directly through it."
Iris remarked, Ella responded with, "Eeeehh..."
Luke noticing the worried look on Iris's face, tried to assure her,
"His hand is going to be fine, don't worry...."
Iris gives a half-smile in return.
"Are they both up yet or not?!"
Lucy exclaimed, opening the door suddenly.
"Hi....."
Iris spoke, a feeling of guilt clouded her expressions
"Good, you're awake. What about this guy? How long is he planning on sleeping? Does he know how expensive this hotel is?"
Lucy started walking toward's his bed. She then pinches his nose, stopping his breathing.
"What are you doing??"
"Lucy!"
"Are you trying to kill him or wake him up?"
Logan who had trouble breathing, opened his mouth to gasp for air along with his eyes. He subconsciously, punches Lucy in the face.
Logan coughs, while getting up.
Lucy placing a hand on her nose where Logan smacked her, smirks and adds,
"Good. Now, let's talk."
