Capítulo 13: Chapter 11: The boy who woke up
It started with a twitch of the finger. Then, the twitching finger became the entire hand. And once the whole hand was able to move, it clenched into a fist. Eyelids began to slowly open, and a pair of grey eyes began to focus on the world once more.
Slowly getting up, Clay felt soreness worse than he ever felt in this life or the last. He got out of bed and started flexing every muscle around his body. It felt stiff but barely strained. Something didn't sit right with him. He was pretty messed up after the whole club ordeal, and it only got worse after the chase they had with the enforcers. As much as he was glad to be up and moving now, something didn't make sense.
Hearing a clanking noise of metal being dropped, Clay looked to his right only to be tackled back down by something that was damn near choking him. "Ok Ok I can't breathe," he said repeatedly, tapping the back of his could be assassin.
"I'm sorry you've been sleep for two days and I went to get you a warm rag but when I came back you were up and I got excited and-"
"Ok, Kat, it's good to see you too, but slow down. And what's wrong with your voice?"
Taking a breath, she cleared her throat and began to speak. She told him everything that went down the two days he was asleep. How on the first day he wasn't getting better and was in great pain, and how on the second she went out to buy a potion for him and eventually ran into Echo and got help from him and along with the rest of the group.
Clay chuckled and spoke. "Bold of you to assume they would help you,"
Kat cleared her throat again and spoke, rubbing her neck. "They almost didn't, even with Echo vouching for us. The only reason Vi agreed to it was because Powder felt like she owed you a favor."
"Hmm, alright then. But you forgot to answer my last question. What happened to your voice?"
Kat hummed to herself, still rubbing her neck. She didn't exactly know how to answer the question because she barely understood what happened. One moment, she was trying to use her ablity like usual, then the next thing she knew, she was coughing up blood. And that's exactly how she explained it to him, leaving out the part where she left the coin of course, seeing how she could have taken it back.
"Honestly, it sounds similar to what happened to me back in the ring. I forced my ability to it's limit and it felt like my head was going to explode."
"So we have limits, that's good to know. Oh, by the way, how do you feel?"
Humming to himself, Clay began to stretch his arms. They weren't that bad, so he got up from the bed and started stretching his legs. His body wasn't that sore anymore, but instead, it was replaced with a feeling of tightness around his joints.
"I'm guessing by the look on your face somethings wrong."
"I wouldn't say that. It's more like I feel better but also powerful. What kind of potion did you get?"
"I don't know, but it did look expensive."
Leaving it at that Clay walked to the closet and began to change right then and there, much to the displeasure of Kat who covered her eyes and yelled at him throwing the mettle pan at his head which was still hot.
After getting changed, Clay turned around and saw Kat reading the journal they made to keep up with the timeline of the show. At some point, it might become useless seeing how their existence is already screwing everything up, but nothings wrong with a little refresh of the memory.
"How close are we for things to pick up?"
"Close but not far"
Kat closed the book and released a long sigh. The stunt she pulled yesterday made her realize this wasn't a joke or dream. It was stupid that it took her this long to realize that, even with all the other things that happened to her, she got through it cause she wasn't alone. She always had Clay there to pick up the slack, but when he wasn't there, the weight of reality began to settle in. It was scary so very, very scary. She gripped the book to her chest and began to feel the tears well up in her eyes until she felt a gentle slap on the back of her head.
"Why you getting so emotional all of a sudden? This is what you wanted, right? To be a hero and make sure everyone gets a happy ending."
"It is, but if you're not here to help me with that. Then there's no point in living."
"Careful, you almost sounded like Jinx there for a second."
"I'm being serious!"
"Ok, I hear you." He said, taking a seat next to her and hugging her.
"But Kat, you're not stupid. I know you know deep down we can't save everyone."
She didn't respond right away, then looked at him. "Then what do we do?"
"Simple, we do what we can. Now get up we're heading to the last drop. "
"Why?"
"It's about time we make ourselves fully known."
