What Was That

CHAPTER 69: WHAT WAS THAT STUFF

~Tanner’s POV~

I hear the sound of something boiling in a pot, and I smell something like lavender? I open my eyes, where am I?

“OH shit! HARPER!” I pitched my body upright, banging my head on… the ceiling? What the hell?

“TANNER! You're okay!” I didn’t even see Harper coming before she threw her arms around my neck. “Tanner, I have been so worried about you. I was afraid you were never going to wake up!” She began to cry. Suddenly, a strange humanoid creature starts smacking her hands away from me. “Okay, Okay, OKAY! I’m going! You know I have been waiting days for him to wake up!” Harper said to the creature. It came up to feel my head and hand me something to drink.

“Drink, for pain.” It said to me. I looked at Harper to make sure it was ok. She nodded her head. I drank the liquid down and frowned at the taste of it. It was quite salty, yuk!

“Where are we?” I whispered to Harper. She giggled at me. She didn’t bother whispering.
