Chapter 8 A New Friend
Emma compelled the last of the people
to move out of the building, urging them to walk calmly but quickly. To her
knowledge, everybody had managed to exit safely and brushed the sweat off
her forehead. "Now where's Lucretzia?" she muttered, looking among the
people, but there were so many people yet none of them were her. Her extra
special patient had disappeared, somewhere. "Lucretzia?!" Her nervousness
startled some people beside them. "Oh no..."
Briskly, the sound of
smashing glass could be heard, the sheets of glass, breaking into tiny sharp
and perilous pieces. A person, clutching a frightened child had breached the
glass window in the fourth floor, crashing harshly onto the ground.
Fortunately, the two had landed on the soft silky grass but they barely
showed signs of live. Except when the child coughed and opened his eyes,
staring at the people around them. Lucretzia too slowly recovered from the
fall, releasing her grip on the child and letting him back to his crying mother.
Staggering onto her feet, the teenager only managed to fumble and collapse back
onto the ground instead. "Are you ok?" a fifteen year old girl offered her
hand to Lucretzia. She had delft hair, just like Lucretzia except she had a
lock of hair, slightly covering her eyebrows. Lucretzia looked up and smiled
at her. "Yeah. Thanks," she grabbed onto the girl's hand as she pulled her
up. "So, what's your name?" "Lucretzia. Sorry, I don't really remember
my last name." "It's alright. My name is Hilde Schbeiker. Call me Hilde.
It's a pleasure to meet you." "Same."
Hurriedly, the firemen
washed out the hospital, extinguishing the fire but the hospital was
wreckage, barely salvaged from the fire.
Running towards them, Emma
yelled, "Lucretzia are you ok?" "I'm fine thank you, Emma," responded the
teen, looking cheerily at the nurse. "Lucretzia… Is this your friend or
family?" "…" Hilde stated, "She's my friend. Is there any procedures we
have to do?" "You only need to fill out a few forms, that's all." "Sure,
no problem."
Leaving the watery scene, Lucretzia muttered, "Well Hilde,
thanks for everything. I guess I'll see you later." "Where are you
going? Aren't you staying with me?" Hilde clutched onto her hand, holding
firmly. "Huh?" "Well you are my friend, right?" "Yeah." "Then
come and live with me. I'm sure Duo won't mind." "Duo?" "He's my house
mate, but he won't be back for quite some time. He's gone for machinery
repairs." "I'm sorry about all this commotion but wouldn't I be a pest to
you? I mean I don't even remember anything before the time I was in the
hospital." "It doesn't matter. Let's go."
Entering the junkyard, the
two walked into the house. "Wow, you have all this Gundanium alloy and
Titanium alloy," remarked Lucretzia, watching the scrapes from inside the
house. "How do you know it's Gundanium and Titanium alloy?" Hilde inquired,
seating comfortably onto the sofa. "I dunno. It's just something I've
met before. Maybe in a dream or something," she replied, flopping onto the
sofa next to her friend. "You can sleep in the same room as me. We don't
really have that many rooms but we have enough beds and blankets." "Are
you sure?" "Yeah, I mean you are my guest."
