We don't have time

-Adam POV-

After mom went to bed, I decided to walk by the medical centre. I just wanted to know how Levi and the other survivors of the attack are doing. Levi needed a surgery and survived. But he’s still monitored at the Intensive Care. Together with some other survivors. They were all hit by the venom, and the first results we got from that was not good.

It’s not only that, I’m worried about. If my mom couldn’t heal herself from the venom, I know nobody can. She’s not a fighter, she never was. But she can heal herself pretty good. I guess to help the Chosen bloodline survive. I sigh. I don’t know where to go from here. We lost a few good warriors, a lot are still in the hospital; unsure if they’re going to make it.

I walk into the hospital and head directly to the lab. I see an assistant and I ask: “Hi, Is Dr. Rose available?” The assistant looks up and says: ”Good evening mister WhiteMoon. No, I’m sorry; her shift ended a few hours ago. Can I leave her a message?”

“No, uuhmm.. I want to know: do you have more information about the venom? And how are the patients doing?”

“Levi Connor is not doing great, actually. His situation got worse. The venom is spreading in his body. Well, not only in his. Two of the warriors died today, we were unable to save them. The damage was too severe."

I sigh. More bad news. I need to tell Joshua about this, they deserve the best memorial too. “Thanks, I know enough for now. Tell Dr. Rose I stopped by. She needs to call me tomorrow morning. I want to talk to her, aight?”
The assistant is looking at me. “Off course! I’ll let her know.”

I turn around and walk the long hallway back to the entrance of the hospital. It’s almost 9 p.m. I need some sleep to. But first, first I need to clean my room. It was a big mess the other day.

I open my bedroom door and look around, it truly is a mess. Clothes everywhere, my bed looks sloppy and there are used plates all over this place. I take a big sigh, this is gonna take forever to clean up. Well, I can better start right away. I collect the dishes and brings them to the kitchen. Still lots to do…

One and a half hour later my room looks brand new. Clean and tidy. I smile, satisfied. I take a hot shower and go to bed. I fall into a deep and long sleep.

The moment I wake up, I feel great. I needed the sleep. Besides, I woke up with the greatest idea ever! Joshua told me he and the others are ‘healed’ as well, when we were in the forest. What if I try again? I’m not sure what I did, I let my heart took over at that time. I felt the healing-part drained me. At some point, I wasn’t able to do anything anymore. Like my powers were ‘gone’. But now I feel strong again, I guess I just need some rest after using my healing abilities.

I link Joshua, and ask him to meet me in the hospital. Levi and some others were doing not so great, yesterday. I’m not sure how much time we have left.

When I arrive at the hospital, I search for Dr. Rose. “Dr. Rose! Where are you?” I wander around the hallways. A shocked Dr. Rose appears on the doorstep of the dressing room, bare feet and casual clothes. “Adam! What are you doing here, this early? My shift hasn’t started yet I wanted to call you in a minute. Wait, is it Luna? Is she OK?”

“She’s fine, don’t worry. Listen, you saw what I did yesterday. I can do it again. With the others. I don’t think there’s a cure for the venom, yet. We don’t have time. But I need you to help me.” I explain my plan to her.

Dr. Rose nods. “No problem, I will do whatever I can. I need to change clothes first, I’ll meet you in the lab in 5.”

I head to the laboratory and wait for Dr. Rose. The moment she arrives, orders are flying around. She knows exactly what to do. She then said: “My assistants over here will make sure you’ll be fine after the healing. Now we need some help of the nurses. Follow me.”

We walk to the ‘living room’. An open and welcoming space for the staff, to rest between shifts or when they take breaks. “Listen up! “ Dr. Rose says. “I need your help, I want every patient who’s not been affected by the venom out of this hospital. Bring them to the packhouse. Only the patients on the IC can stay. Understood?” all nurses and doctors agreed and start running around. She then turns back to me and said: “I hope your powers will be enough, Adam. I’ll make sure there are as less people around this place as possible.”

I start getting nervous. I hope I’m strong enough to do so. But I want to make sure I’ve the best chances possible. Everyone who doesn’t need my healing, needs to leave the hospital before I start my ritual. Hopefully it will be enough then.
