Chapter 87: Guilt and Redemption

                   Chapter 87

Jake opened his eyes wondering where he was and then his eyes met with a white ceiling and the smell of chemicals hit his nose making him aware he was in the academy clinic. Jake tried to move his legs but he noticed something heavy on it. Looking down, Jake could see someone's head sleeping on his legs. The little movement he made, woke the person up.

And Jake could see it was Kate that was sleeping on his legs. With a dribble down her mouth, her eyes swollen as if she had cried and her hair messy, her eyes lit up in delight, she greeted Jake with a smile then she felt something on her face.

Touching her face, she could feel the dribble then she quickly wiped it off and looked at Jake embarrassed with her cheeks having a tinge of red.

"What happened? Why am I here again?" Jake asked then he felt a banging pain in his head as the memories from the hunt and then to the Iron Fist Guild members surfaced in his mind.
