Chapter 100: The Spiders Trap. (1/2)

Ria's figure could be seen resting soundly in her room.

She hadn't made any movement nor shown any signs of waking up until now.

But all of the sudden.

”Gray!” she yelled out, springing up as she did so.

She looked around hastily and was surprised to find herself in a quiet and warm room.

”Ah.. That's right… I'm not in the Labyrinth anymore…” She sighed.

She got up and proceeded to walk over to the room beside her which was Gray's. Upon entering, her eyes widened.

There he was, fast asleep on his mattress. Lara was seated beside him, she had her head tilted to the side as she seemed to doze off.

On the end of the bed, Kylo and Lita too were fast asleep.

”Gray?” She called out to him with a confused look

The first thought which came to her mind was that something must have happened.

After all, he had a wet towel over his head and Lara had her hands grasped together almost as if she had been making a prayer.

Carefully, trying not to wake anyone up. She approached Gray to get a closer look.

He seemed to be fast asleep, but at the same time, he was burning up with a fever.

His pants were loud, his brows twitched heavily and cold sweat dripped down his face.

He looked as if he was in great pain.

”What's happening to him…?” She asked, the worry in her face growing by the second.

”We're not sure… He's been this way since the morning…” A voice came from behind.

Startled, Ria turned to the source only to find Aurora there, with some warm soup on a plate.

”Ah… Au..rora… Right?” Ria asked.

Aurora nodded before approaching them and sitting beside her.

”Is that soup for him?”

”Ah- This is for me. I'm the only one that hasn't eaten yet… Also I don't think it's a good idea to feed him right now… Ah right, you must be hungry right? I'll go get you a plate.”

”No, it's alright. I just woke up I'm not that hungry. Rather, can you tell me what's going on with him?” She asked, trying not to show her worries.

”He's not responding to anything… He's asleep but won't wake up no matter what we do.”

Upon hearing this, Ria sighed in relief.

”Oh, so it wasn't an infection from an injury? It's fine then, he used to get fevers like this all the time when we were younger. He'll recover soon.” Said Ria as she glanced at him.

”R-Really?! That's good to hear… Younger… You two grew up together, right..?”

Ria nodded - ”That's right… Although I can't remember most of it. I remember the times we spent at the orphanage.”

”Really? What was he like?” Aurora asked as she turned to her, she had a joyful look on her face.

Surprised, Ria did nothing but stare back at Aurora.

Realising that she had gotten a bit too excited all of the sudden, Aurora's cheeks grew red as she got slightly embarrassed.

”Ah- Sorry…”

Ria shook her head.

”No, it's my fault. I didn't mean that in a bad way, I was just surprised.” Said Ria.

”Surprised?” Aurora asked

Ria looked around, a visible smile grew on her face.
