CHAPTER TWENTY

The Hospital

Mark forced his eyes open. He felt as though he’d just had a bad dream, but knew that what he’d just seen, just done, was real. He wasn’t sitting on the ground any longer. Where was he? He tried to focus, but it was dark. “Nick... are you still here?”

“Uh... what? Mark? Are you back?” His voice sounded groggy.

“I’m back. Where are we?”

“We’re in the local hospital. Let me get the light.”

“Hospital? Why are we in the hospital?”

The light came on. Nick was standing by the door and he looked like he’d just woken up. He realized he was in a hospital gown and was hooked up to a couple of machines.

“You’d been in a trance for about fifteen minutes when Mrs. Rutherford began to leave. She saw us sitting next to the building and sent Dee over to offer us a ride. When you didn’t get up, she came over too. They couldn’t rouse you so they called an ambulance and here we are. Just for observation, the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with you either. They tried to give you an IV. I knew you were fine so I told them not to without consulting your parents first. No one is answering the phone at your house so they’re worried.”

Mark looked at the wall clock and then at the window. It was dark outside. “Four thirty in the morning. It didn’t seem like I was gone that long.”

“Well, I was starting to get a bit worried, myself. What happened?”

“Spirit battle, a big one, all seven mountains from what I could tell. Mr. Diefenderfer said it would take them about a day or so to recover. I think we’re on our own until then.”

“Still want to go to New Orleans?”

Mark asked, “Plane, train or automobile?”

“I can drive, but we aren’t likely to get a car. I don’t particularly like trains, they’re slow and the jostling is annoying. I say we fly.”

“Plane it is. Where’s the closest airport?”

Nick took out his tablet.
