Chapter 5: Still Unconscious (1)

Nine months later:

Dennis was still unconscious making Lily worried. She'd run from one place to another looking for the best doctor to heal her son.

Eventually she found one, he was twice her height and had a medical kit way bigger than the one she had at home.

As the man examined Dennis he concluded that he was fine and it would take him a minimum of twenty years to wake up because of his internal lores.

When she heard this she nearly fainted 'twenty years' she asked herself as the medicine man left.

"I can't wait for twenty years he'll have to wake up now " she said as she carried a small bag to extract something from her garden.

She took some leaves from the tree her husband warned her never to get close to and boiled it to extract it's nutrient.

She called it an elixir and as soon as she brought it close to his face he reacted.

"What the hell was that " he asked himself as a powerful odour reached for his nostrils. He immediately woke up much to the delight of Lily who knew the medicine man was not as strong as everyone had said.

"I thought you needed the elixir but I guess I was wrong afterall" she quickly spilled the content of the elixir outside.

"Woman, are you trying to poison me" Dennis thought silently as he noticed his mom was not to far from where he was.

He knew his mom had no ill intention but

if he had consumed that concoction he knew he would meet Sirinius again.

As he noticed his mother was already sited he tried to explain how it felt to be in a coma but like always the only thing that escaped his tiny mouth was nonsense and easily misunderstood words.

Nevertheless Lily was still proud, not only had her son learnt how to crawl but had also tried talking.

Before Dennis could finish his

'I'm a coma survivor speech' his mom carried him outside to show her neighbors that a miracle had happened.

Everyone who saw Dennis alive were surprised, they didn't expect the boy to come back to life, some even threw him horrid glances because they knew he was trouble.

One of the kind neighbors tried to touch Dennis but Lily's stare threw daggers at him. She walked inside with Dennis still in her embrace.

As she walked inside she danced, wishing his father would see them this happy.

"I can't wait for John to see you, he went to the palace but he'll be back soon I promise" Lily said to her son who she assumed did not understand her.
