CHAPTER 35

Hazel opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling, she tried to move but her shoulder stung, she clenched her teeth, she felt her senses returning, she heard echoes of steel hitting steel, and felt something on her hand, she jerked her head towards the weight, her shoulder shot pain through her body, but she ignored it as she saw Day clutching her hand, he was sitting on a chair, his head on the bed, apparently asleep, Hazel removed his dark hair from his face, he looked troubled, but the usual dark aura around him had vanished. Day stirred awake, as he felt her hand. For a second he just stared at her blankly, until he leapt on her, and hugged her, avoiding her shoulder, they sat in that position for almost 15 minutes, Hazel felt comforted 'SHE WASN'T DEAD' and she felt glad for that, Day broke himself away from her, he kept staring at her, his eyes showed mixed emotions, which hazel had trouble deciphering, they didn't say anything for another 10 minutes, until Hazel broke the silence.

'How long was I out?' She whispered.

Day whispered back, not breaking eye contact '1 week'

Hazel gasped and started stuttering 'But dad, fire, how can I, I am a big, SH*T'

'Woah calm down, its Ok, we have everything in control, we found some clues, leading us to the answer to destroy Fire, Okay? don't worry. we also have been training to fight, Me and Ash are also quite professionals' Day assured.

'Come on, the others are outside, can you stand?'

'Yeah, I can'

'First change, and shower, also avoid water touching your shoulder'

Hazel got into the rest room, it was huge, where were they? She asked herself and made a mental note to ask Day himself. She got into the bath and finished in 10 mins, she got into the closet to find men's clothes, preferably the size of her, she picked out a long black coat, and a sleeveless white shirt and black jeans.

She combed her chocolate brown hair, she looked into the mirror and saw that her face looked tired and ragged, while she herself felt energetic, she walked out and saw Day waiting for her by the door, he hugged her again.

'I missed you' He whispered.
