The
doctors are surprised I’m awake already. Frankly, given what happened in the
wall, so am I. I swear, the next time I think going into the wall is a good
idea, I need someone to slap me until I think otherwise. Amaka’s got a really
hard slap, now that I think about it. She’ll do for that, that is, once I can
bring her back from Berith’s brother’s.
Going
back to the wall, that thing’s going to be the death of me. That damned snake
found me again. This time, though, there was nowhere for me to go. I had to
fight it as I made my way back outside. I managed to slice it a few times,
shortened it’s tongue by a foot or so, that’s for sure. By how it kept trying
to bind me, I’d have to say it was a giant python, though. It never really
tried to bite me, except when I cut it’s tongue when it got extremely close
once. That’s when, of all times, I noticed it didn’t have any fangs. That
doesn’t mean it’s not aggressive, though.
Anyway,
I managed to make it to the hole whole. When the light from outside began to
illuminate the snake, it quickly shied away and fled. It must be very sensitive
to light. Makes sense, since it’s lived its entire life in total darkness. But
that means it can see, something which I didn’t think it could do.
But
when I got out of the hole, the saying “out of the pan and into the fire” comes
to mind. Just as soon as I cleared the entryway, I got pelted on the head by
something, felt like a marble from a slingshot. I turned towards where it came
from and immediately took a marble to the face. Right in between the eyes
(thankfully, not in the eyes). I still managed to get a glimpse of who was
shooting at me, and immediately recognized her as one of Jonah’s “scouts”.
The
little mink turned tail and darted into an alleyway as soon as I saw her. I
started to chase after her when I saw the sharks charging at me from the side.
I barely evaded the first one when the second plowed slam into me, sending me
sprawling against the wall. Before I could even begin to defend myself, the two
sharks began pummeling me until I blacked out.
That,
apparently, was two days ago. I see that Starlight is in here with me, her
wounds from when I found her appear to have reopened. I assume, though, that
Berith just brought her back here as a precaution and left Amaka at his
brother’s, though I figure she’ll want to be close by, since she won’t want to
be left alone with a guy she doesn’t know.
Gods,
it hurts so badly right now. I think I’m going to try to go back to sleep. One
of the nurses said she’d be back soon with some pain meds. I’ll ask who brought
me here when she gets back with it.
