The damaged brains

Chapter 28 - Nasty spill .

  " That was a nasty spill you had ." Unt Laura's voice said when I finally woke up .

Ian was standing next to the bed where I layed helplessly , I felt a terrible headache and my forehead felt numb and cold .

" Keep that ice on your forehead , otherwise you'll have a unicorn's horn lump . " Ian said looking down at a notebook he held on his hands .

" What happened ? " I asked myself rather than asking  anyone else , and as if I answered my ownself I remembered banging my head on the wall when I was trying to run away from my mother .

I couldn't help but think of how odd and unhuman she looked , I never thought she could change that much in so short a time , I was gone for 24 hours only .. I cursed myself for leaving her alone , If only I had never left .

A horrid idea found its way into my mind and settled along with the other ill-fated thoughts of mine , what if she wasn't alive ! And in order not to waiste anytime and ask anyone I decided to check on her myself .

I suddenly stood up trying not to let the nasty pain growing in the back of my head take over me .. I felt dizzy, I tried to leave the room .

" Mom ! " I called despretaly  , Ian held my arm blocking my way .

Kevin the little boy was standing by the door , unable to get inside and unable to take a step back , in his eyes I saw fear and I remembered the fear that invaded my heart when I saw my mom acting the way she did . I felt sorry for the him , this whole chaos was too much for his innoccent soul to deal with .

I squated opening my arms suggesting a hug for him , he hesitated at first then I nodded reassuing him it's all good .

And then as if he too needed a hug he let his tiny weight push against mine and he folded his small warm arms around my neck .

" You good Em ? " His big jolly brown eyes shone with perplexity as he asked pulling away .

" Sure thing sweetpie ! " I messed up his long thick curly hair and kissed his forehead . I wad so attached to that boy , and I loved his so much .

I stambled and almost fell on my back when I tried to get up , Ian helped me control my balance again . I felt so dizzy ,the floor under my feet and everything around seemed so fluid and kept moving in motion like the senting waves upon the shore .

" You need to rest , you hit your head so hard so it's totaly normal for you to feel dizzy you just need to rest don't you worry about a thing . " Ian said calmly as he helped me lay on the bed again .

" I've made some healthy soup for you , I'll get you some , you must be hungry ! " Unt Laura set a friendly smile and wandered off the room , Kevin followed by running around her legs in such a joy .

" Is my mom okey ? " I crossed my heart ,expected the worst and hoped for the better .

" Breathing ." Ian cut off shortly .

I took a deep breath , I wondered where my brother was .

" Where's Grey ? And Cassandra ? " I turned to Ian with questioning eyes  , I haven't seen them since we got here .

" At the Refugees's Guard , Grey was worried about your mom's sudden attack and he did not know what to do , he needed a doctor . They probably got there by the time we decided to get back here . "

When Ian and I decided to leave the Refugee's Guard we didn't tell anyone and we just left in a hurry without realizing that Grey and Cassandra might had been there by that time allready .

Knowing that my brother is in a safe place was such a relief .

" Here you go .. " Unt Laura came in , she was such a good cook and I've liked her food always .

" I saved you an apple , I found it in the abondoned Walmart .. it's not fresh but it's an apple ! " Kevin's little cute lips parted as he smiled proudly .

" Aaah ! Thank you sugar ." He made me smile .

" Now I'm jealous ! " Ian said talking to the little boy who simply shruggled his shoulders not caring about Ian's feeling .

The four of us forced a fake laugh out ,or maybe it was only me who faked my laugh ..

I took the apple  that Kevin gave  me with grace , it really was so not fresh , probably been in that Walmart for months but it was an apple ! .
