Phoenix staggered into the Hospital Wing, soaked, shivering, and carrying the lifeless form of Jessi Fang.
"Jessi...don't die...please.." He whispered, his voice hoarse from coughing up water down by the lakeshore. He set her in one of the cots, her cold frame unusually pale against his black and blue robes, which he wrapped her in to keep her warm.
"Somebody help!" He tried to exclaim. His voice was barely a whisper now, though. Phoenix collapsed into the next cot, exhausted.

((OOC: To find out WTF is going on go to the Lake under "Swimming"...Gah, I'mma have short posts for a while cause I'm unconcious...))
Jessi barely heard Phoenix's words as she hung between life and death...
But the important thing was that she heard them. To her, it meant that she could be saved...
Her breath was shallow, short, and barely there, but life flickered in her yet. She just hoped someone would save her in time. 'I'm not ready to die...why'd we have to go swimming?' she thought hopelessly.

Hailey swung upon the heavy door to the Hospital Wing. " Jessi!" She panted. She had run the length from the common room to the Hospital Wing. She jogged over to her bed and looked at Phoenix.
" What happened?" She demanded. Her eyes were wide, tears swimming in them. Her face was as pale as Jessi's. Her wet hair dripped water down and hit her like icicles. She shivered. She had only had time to get her shorts on. She still had her bathing suit on.
The shiver wasn't only from coldness. It was also from fear. What had happened when she was gone? More importantly, what was going to happen?

'Hailey,' Jessi thought. She tried to call out to her friend but the only noise she made was a small moan. Her finger twitched involuntarily. It hurt, that twitch.
Jessi was starting to get scared now. She was concious, but couldn't move, couldn't open her eyes or let anyone know she was awake. In her mind she yelled for Hailey, for Phoenix, in reality she just lay there.

"The nurse said that her heart slowed down from the cold," he said, looking grim. He and Jessi had been in here for the past hour, yet she didn't seem to be any better. He, at least, could talk at an almost normal level. Yet the nurse's magic seemed to have no effect on his new friend.
"It was really scary," he admitted. "We were about to get out, when she just...fainted, or something. I tried to get her out as fast as I could, Hailey. Honest." He looked up abruptly as the door opened again, his twin entering.
"What'dya do?" Kestrel said, his voice cold, but not as cold as his eyes. He and Phoenix shared the same ice blue eyes...yet there was something different in Kestrel's. A hatred, or something.
"Kes," Phoenix attempted to smile. "This is Hailey, a...." He wanted to say friend, but he hadn't known her for that long. "an aquaintance."
"You're wet," Kestrel said to Hailey, staring at her.
"Well, yeah she is, Kes. We were swimming." Phoenix sighed. He brother could be such a pain.
"Swimming? In the lake? Whose dumbassed idea was that?" Kestrel's gaze never left Hailey. "Was it yours?"

Voices. She heard people talking...Hailey, Phoenix, and...Kestrel? She tried to identify the owners of the voices.
'But no Kanto,' Jessi thought bitterly. 'He probably doesn't know yet, or doesn't care...'
'OPEN YOUR EYES.' She thought a moment later. 'Open your eyes...you can do it...let Hailey know it will all be okay...open your eyes...' She turned all her will and remaining strength into doing just that, and, a moment later, a pair of forest green eyes peered at them all.

Hailey looked sadly at Jessi. Why had they had they gone to the lake? What a stupid idea, Hailey said, reminiscing the moment they had decided to go down to the lake.
“I believe you." Hailey whispered.
Then she heard a cold voice she barley knew behind her. She turned around and looked right into the eyes of Kestrel. They were the same as Phoenix, yet something was different, and she just didn't know what.
“Really?" Hailey replied sarcastically to Kestrels comment. “And it was my idea to go down to the lake." She didn't mention it was Jessi's idea, too

"No it wasn't. It was mine. Mostly mine, anyways." Jessi whispered from her cot. She expected to feel the heat of everyone's gaze when they realized she had spoken. Her voice was barely audible....but that was to be expected. She had, after all, breathed in a lot of water, and almost died. Heck, she thought she was doing a lot better considering the circumstances, though she still felt very weak.

"Figures." Kestrel said sneeringly. "See what good it did you? You're in the Hospital Wing because of it."
Phoenix stared at his brother, shocked. Had Kes really that little compassion? "Kes," he said warningly.
There was a moment of tension between the two twins. Then it passed, and Phoenix smiled slightly.
"You're all right, Jessi. I'm glad." He said from his cot.

Hailey gave Kestrel her dirtiest look. " Now, you watch mouth." She snarled.
Her face features changed drastically when she looked at Jessi. From angry and digusted to calm and happy. " I'm so glad your okay, Jess."
She was, but she also knew Jessi was going to be okay.

"It's okay, guys," Jessi smiled weakly. "It was a really stupid thing for me to do, to stay behind instead of getting out when you and Harry did." She reached over and touched Phoenix's arm gently.
"I'm glad you stayed behind, too." She sunk back into her pillow and sighed. Her eyes were closed. She may have been awake now, but she was still very weak.
"I'm tired," She grinned, opening her eyes.

Kestrel smirked. "Well, I'm gwad the wittle Gwyffindor wearned her wesson." His mock baby voice was more condescending than just about everything he had ever said.
Although he didn't show it, Kestrel felt a twinge of guilt. After all, this girl did almost die. 'I'm becoming more and more like Nix,' he thought grumpily.
"Of course you're tired," Phoenix said gently, drawing attention away from his brother, again. "You should probably go to sleep."

Hailey narrowed her eyes at Kestrel. She looked as if she was about to say something but closed her mouth. She sniffed unhappily.
"Phoenix is right." Hailey said kindly. "You should get some rest. Drowning is really tiring." She smiled.

"Nah, I'll be fine," Jessi insisted. She did her best to stifle a yawn.

Hailey raised her eyebrows at her friend. She smiled. " Sure you are Jessi..."
"And I'm Spiderman... She added under her breath.
