Ch. 7: A Cold Cheek (SUN)

Huh…I…

 

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Orion looking at me closely, his face pale.

 

Orion: “OO! Hey, she’s awake!”

 

He impatiently called for someone.

 

OO: “Um, I…?”

 

My head is pounding.

 

Doctor: “Lord Orion gave you his power…a little longer, and you would have died.”

 

He gave me his power?

 

Doctor: “Alright Lord Orion, now it’s your turn. Get some rest. You lost quite a bit of blood. At this rate, your life…”

 

Orion…he has a bandage on his neck!? Why…

 

Orion: “I’m fine. And I’m staying…”

 

Doctor: “Lord Orion!”

 

Orion staggered and collapsed near the side of the bed.

 

OO: “Orion…”

 

I reached out and…his cheek was distressingly cold.

 

He’s so cold. Why? Orion…

 

His skin was like ice, and it made my heart freeze.
