“What’s the status of Mayor Carolyn Goodman, rookie?”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAewOORS0mvC
“She’s still in recovery, but she's going in and out of a coma, sir.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAKiPrCBDdGC
“Oh, that’s not good.”
The tall, white-tailed dragon said, walking in the door to Room 95. He walks over to Carolyn as he puts his gloves on. He looks around her body, checking for any bleeding in the stab wound, stitched up. The rookie assistant, short with a witch hat on, follows him.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAAR2MUECguE
“That’s weird. The recovery surgeons put an artificial heart in her and her husband, Oscar.” He said, “Oscar healed a lot faster around December last year; what’s up with her?”
105Please respect copyright.PENANA34awhu5SuR
“I’m assuming it’s more than her artificial heart, sir.” The rookie said.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAaGjO9KAdOx
“How so?”
105Please respect copyright.PENANArQHaFSNS8E
“The surgeons found a blue stone preventing her from going in and out of a coma. Since she’s a wrath demon, a sacred stone for Angels, they take longer to heal than angels.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAVDpOjUlojr
“Good observation.” The dragon doctor said. The stone in Carolyn’s chest glows a light blue color. The doctors look at her chest glowing. The rookie touches Carolyn’s hand, feeling a pulse.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAgNqFXxxHcO
Ta tum… ta tum…
105Please respect copyright.PENANAoeL00sSdTP
She feels a pulse. The dragon hovers over Carolyn hearing her breathe. She breathes softly as she starts moving her fingers.
105Please respect copyright.PENANArqy4Xi9OKr
“Could it be?” The rookie whispered to the dragon.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAvHVRlTIYR9
“Well, I’ll be damned.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAYXaqZGVuRY
Carolyn opens her eyes, the bright lights in the room blind her. She shields her eyes with her hands, squinting. Her vision started to clear up as she looked around the room. She looks at the doctors.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAyzkL2vTgaJ
“What’s… going on?...” Carolyn said, softly. She slowly lifts herself up, the pain strikes her whole body, she groans in pain. The dragon doctor helps her lay back down.
105Please respect copyright.PENANA3AMPTlP8sy
“Well Mayor Goodman, you had quite a recovery after your recovery surgery.” The rookie said.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAQv9fhM8E1D
“How long was this?” She asks.
105Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZXycXq3Cb
“It’s been a year since your surgery, It’s March 2022.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAEKXEnihbst
“March?!”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAQb75BMCjas
“Yes ma’am. March.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAcf6aKTgtT7
“That is how long I died for? A year and one month?!”
105Please respect copyright.PENANA67mtYyklVk
“Died and recovered. You died on February 5th of 2021.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAJn25qnXq9E
Carolyn breathes in despair. “Oh my god… Where’s Oscar?!”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAR88GFmvWRE
“Oscar recovered in December. So he’s recovering just fine at home.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAuWE3hTVnUB
“That’s good.” Carolyn slowly sits up again from her bed, she shifts herself to the edge of the bed, getting herself up. She looks in the mirror, she sees streaks of white highlights in her hair. Her light blonde hair got a bit darker. She slicks her hair back.
105Please respect copyright.PENANA4WnG9qNWKD
“That’s new, when did I get this?” Carolyn asks herself.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAiej5h28kRs
“I think it’s probably from the angel stone that healed you or your hair made highlights to say you were dead for a while.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANA2p9AAIr3Rt
Carolyn turns to look at the doctors. “Should I ask how many lives do I have left?”
105Please respect copyright.PENANA8jWFxpsxyd
“Well, it’s unlimited revivals but since you are close to the age that most humans pass away at an average. This is your last.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANA16qz6m4bGD
Carolyn stays silent, looking back towards the mirror. The room surrounds her with darkness, she starts to have flashbacks of the fight with Michele. Her slamming Carolyn in different areas broke her bones in her body, causing her to bleed. Carolyn sweats and breathes heavily as she puts her hand on her head. Michele’s voice surrounds the dark room.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAkkuHfzG6sH
“Count your fucking days, Carolyn…”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAyDalc1UL4a
A spirit lookalike Michele appears behind Carolyn. Carolyn looks up at the mirror, shocked as her eyes widened in fear. Michele’s laughs as she grows a few inches taller, leaning on Carolyn’s body.
105Please respect copyright.PENANA2TC4lkelAs
“Well… Guess who came back to life~ WHY?!”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAkoJTbx7nPO
“I…”
Michele grabs Carolyn’s cheeks, squeezing them.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAleda2DK67x
“You know I killed you for a reason, right?~ For you to not mess up my plans and you still continue to pop back up and ruin it for me.” Michele said. “Oh wait, I just remembered, you wanted to leave my mafia and I taught you a lesson. Oh silly me!~ Now, I have two reasons why I killed you.”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAwJcqir5Lpg
Michele lets go of Carolyn’s cheeks, caressing her leg and goes in her pockets and grabs her dagger. Carolyn tries not to blush. Michele slowly brings the dagger up to Carolyn’s neck.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAGVGVCA3uXd
“I have some advice for you. If you really want to keep your life? I suggest you either come back to my mafia, shut your mouth and do as I say, or don’t try to dismantle my mafia, okay? I have people that know who you are and will not hesitate to track you down. My suggestion is to be a good girl and come back.~”
Michele smirks and disappears in the darkness, Carolyn’s body starts to get heavier as she breathes rapidly.
105Please respect copyright.PENANA77uGd2nUPs
“No… No, I won't come back to your mafia… I won-” Carolyn drops to the floor, rapidly breathing again. The doctors run up to her, the darkness disappears from the room. The rookie and the white dragon sit next to each other, trying to calm her down. She breaks into tears.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAVqZYore4Ro
“No… no…” Carolyn fainted. The rookie’s eyes widened
105Please respect copyright.PENANACOZSW3lDqo
“Mayor Goodman!” The rookie panicked. The white dragon doctor feels Carolyn’s pulse. A white man with a white suit and gray suspenders, glasses shining in the light. The man’s halo glows like the sun. The doctor turns around and looks at the man, shocked.
105Please respect copyright.PENANArTLwVu8IPo
“O-Oscar?!”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAca0vgyg3pE
Oscar, picks up Carolyn gently off the floor.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAqKSGH6wLT3
“I’ll take care of it from here.” Oscar said, disappearing in thin air. The doctor and the rookie look at each other.
105Please respect copyright.PENANAgbZJqP9orZ
“If anyone asks, just say that she’s alive. Okay?”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAqsSNKoUWkF
“Okay.”
The room remains silent.
