Chapter 106 - Brought a smile to her face (1/2)
Diana opened her eyes and found herself inside her room, receiving fluid, while her hands and legs felt greasy as per usual.
She had no idea what the Amy girl apply to her wounds after she went to look for her when she's done with the endurance practice, but she knew her skin well.
She's supposed to have it rough for doing all that with it, but except for the few cuts, and the pains; her skin regain back it's healthiness after she had a night's rest.
She wished she could learn how to make something like that as well. ”Welcome back from the dead.” She heard Aroma's voice beside her and look at the direction.
She saw her sitting on the chair that's supposed to be in front of her dresser and smiled at her. She felt better and relaxed, except the pains in the area of her body she hit the dummy with.
She saw the back view of Amy leaving the room, while the woman that treated her the day he was brought home by Nathan came in. Just like then; she walked up to her, disconnected the needle passing the fluid from her arm with a stoic expression, cleared all her belongings and left.
She slowly stood up and sat on the bed, ”how long was I out?” she asked, grimacing after the question.
”2 hours.” Aroma replied.
Diana chuckled, which stunned Aroma. She looked at her like she's staring at a different person, it's like she's possessed or something. She wonder where the girl who grumbled at everything disappeared to.
The last time she just woke up from passing out, she acted sluggishly even though she's perfectly fine, but now that she's supposed to be sluggish, which she would understand; she's acting like what happened was nothing.
”What did you eat while I was away?” she asked.
It would be a lie if Diana didn't understand what she meant. ”I'm not sure, I just want to get it over with. I learn fast if I set my mind on something, but has been having difficulties because half of my mind was doubting everything being taught and questioning at the same time.
I want to start doing as I was told, learn well, impress you and get a chance to taste freedom. I can't achieve those if I keep up with my previous attitude, I have someone waiting for me, people I want to reunite with, so I'm going to do my best from now on and make you proud as well.” Diana said.
”Hmm, I like the new spirit, but it's fine to question. It will be weird if you didn't. I'm happy with the changes and hope it lasted long, because you might have no choice but to question with some of the things coming, but before that; do your best and get the energy to keep fighting from the longing feelings.” Aroma said.
”What am I going to do next?” She asked trying to stand up.
Aroma rolled her eyes at her, ”you won't get to meet those people if you die, so take a good rest and let's continue tomorrow.” She said.
”I'm fine, Diana protest.
”you are, but won't be for long if you don't rest now.” Aroma said and stood up. Even though she maintained a straight face on the outside, she's actually very pleased and happy on the inside.
”Tara left a few minutes ago. You missed her class, but she seems to like you and explained how good you are at using your brain. Good job.” she added and left.
