Chapter Twelve: Down Time

&nbsp;

I woke up. My body was sore, my head was pounding, but I was alive. I slowly opened my eyes, everything was blurry, very blurry . I blinked several times clearing my vision some. After a moment I could tell where I was. I was back in mine and Serra's Inn room. I had no idea &nbsp;how long I had been out, but I could tell that it was nighttime, the only light was from a small fire in the fireplace in front of the bed. I looked over to my right and saw Serra, she was asleep laying next to me.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Se-Serra?" I said weakly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Uh..Drake, your awake." Serra said looking over at me.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Yeah..how long have I been out?" I asked her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Three days, we called a doctor and he said you might die." She told me.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Not this time I'm not." I said with a soft smile

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I'm glad, I was scared I was going to lose you." She said.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "There's no reason to worry over me, I'm nothing special." I said.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Hmm." She said.

Serra moved closer to my and laid her head on my chest. I saw some tears running down her cheeks. Was she sad about what I said or was she happy that I was alive? I didn't know say I put my right arm around her shoulders and held her close to my body. She let out a soft sigh, more of a happy sight than a sad one. It made me smile some. We laid there like that for some time, Serra had fallen asleep, and I watched her face. The fire causing shadows to jump around, he scales lighting up and then dimming back down. She looked beautiful. I thought back to just before I passed out. Had she really said that she loved me or did I just imagine that? I thought about and realized, I didn't really care, because I knew then that I loved her. I could finally admit it to myself that I had feeling, strong feelings, for her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I love you too Serra." I whispered.

I knew she would not hear me, or anyone else for that matter. I smiled down at her then I laid my head back onto the pillow. I knew I would not be able to do anything for at least a week because of this stab wound. I thought about what had happened back in that room, but then banished it from my thought. It was best to rest, so I did. I fell asleep there with Serra in my arms. I loved her and I finally new it.
