Chapter 7: Tongue-tied
Salamina
*******************
I've heard of magic before,or should I say the rising of the dead . . . Perhaps in those fictional books where goats and cows talk and laugh but this . . . Naaa this is TOO MUCH. She isn't supposed to be standing. The last 25 minutes I was so sure she's dead. I was sure my Princess is gone forever. Right now, she's taking a step and looking at me and Nick as if we're the ones who are acting crazy. I watched her fly plus or minus 25 meters and hit a gigantic oak tree where she landed. I rushed to her body which was laying in a very awkward position that assured me that her spinal cord is broken to never be repaired again. I'm sure she doesn't know all that. This is getting way out of hand. It just can't keep happening. I was soo lost in thought until she bear-hugged me. "Oh my baby" was all I could say to suppress the mixed emotions I was feeling inside. Dana will want to know what happened and I don't know what the first thing to say to her will be. But better yet, her mysterious arising saved me from a guilty conscience . . . Knowing I couldn't protect her would've killed me. Sandra must be somehow smiling . . . Upon me? I don't know. Somehow I missed the ambulance's siren as it was only brought to my attention by the man's brittle shake on my shoulder.

Nick
I know this is not something that I'm used to but I was sane enough to call an ambulance as soon as I grabbed my cellphone. I gave them our location and they came "as soon as they could" or so they say. I was at a loss for words when they asked what happened but I think I mentioned something about an accident. I had even forgotten the boy who fainted. Does he even remember what he saw?? I guess it doesn't matter now. What matters is that my Princess is OKAY. Too bad I don't know what to tell the paramedics now. He seems kind so I'll have to convince them it was the boy whom I was panicking for. His name reads "McKenzie".
Me: Mr Mckenzie . . . I said approaching him
Mckenzie: We're here now sir. We'll take it from here
Me: Nick Simons. We'll stand just close enough if you need anything...
I didn't miss the conspicuous look on his face. Surely he was trying to conjure his own little theory. My panicking over the phone was belittled when they saw the boy laying there with all his vital spots cocooned by nature itself. I felt like hiding... not so fast though
Mckenzie : Was he the only one affected by the accident.
The way he made emphasis on the word "accident". Made me wish my Wife was standing next to me, a man needs saving too . . . well sometimes.
