A few minutes after Jace left to go hunting, Mute emerged out from the forest once again. She didn't like people seeing her upset so she waited until he was gone to climb a tree just at the edge of the forest. She laid down on it's thick branch, resting her head against the trunk of the tree, and watched the hospital as though she could use her mind to teleport to Araidna. Her legs dangled off the side of the branch as she went through her thoughts from the past few days Wow, I've been a jerk to Jace since I first met him.... but then again I am to everybody I meet. Yet... yet, I feel comfortable to talk to him unlike I am with most other people. she thought to herself, the confusing thought lingered as she now stared blankly at the building from where her friend was.
The gravel of the parking lot crunched under Jace's shoes. He had just eaten two thirds of a deer - All he could actually stomach. But he was still nervous. What if he slipped? What if the sickly patients brought out the worst in him?
He sighed, and wished that Mute had agreed to tell her whole name. There was probably a good reason why - there was for most of the things she did. But was her secret reason really worth risking a hospital-worth of patients and doctors and nurses? Was it worth risking Araidna?
Jace stopped at the door, and looked around. Where was Mute? he wondered, scanning the parking lot. Well, it's not like she could help him anyways. He had to do this alone.
Jace took a deep breath, tried to push down his worries and fear, and opened the door.
He was met with cool air, heavy with the sickly scent of death. He hated hospitals. He saw the same clerk. A snide expression slipped over her monotone ways. "Get out, if you're here for dinner," she snapped.
Jace swallowed. "I'm not. My friend - Araidna, you know? I have to see her."
"Name?" the clerk asked, pretending to be bored, nonchalant. Jace saw easily through her façade. She was terrified of him.
"Jace Smith," Jace replied.
"Room 239," the clerk said.
Jace continued on .
