Possession

59- Sweet Revenge

I woke up feeling a headache making its way to my conscious and feeling body ache. The sides of my stomach hurt bad as I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the white walls and smelling weird, sanitizing smell.

Turning my head, a bit confused and disoriented, I looked around me. There was no one there. My hand had an IV drip attached and the door to the room was closed shut. The windows were closed but the room was well lit by lights. It was impossible to tell what time it was.

Groaning in pain, I tried to sit up and straighten my body. I had barely managed to sit when the room opened and Liam walked inside. Seeing me trying to sit up alone, he instantly rushed to my side and quickly put two soft pillows on my back, helping me sit comfortably.

The relief it brought was instantly and welcome. His touch was like a pain killer surprisingly, the agony I was feeling just few seconds ago suddenly disappeared.

I tried to remember the last thing that had happened that had landed me in the hospital but my memories came back blank. The only thing I remembered was going to sleep after coming back from Hailey's birthday party.

"What is going on?" I asked, and instantly realized how much thirsty I was.

"You don't remember anything?" Liam asked worriedly, "what is the last thing that you remember?"

He had barely stopped speaking when Rush walked in. He had some kind of medicines in his hands. Seeing me awake, he rushed forward, put the medicine on the bed and took a seat right next to me, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"How are you feeling? Is there any pain?" he asked as his eyes roamed over my face for any sign of stress.

"Just a bit pain." I whispered, caressing my sides, and then realizing that there was bandage wrapped around my torso.

"What happened  to me?" I asked, horrified, "why are there bandages on me?"

Liam and Rush looked at each other for a few seconds before their gazes met mine and Rush answered, "do you remember that you had had fight with Hailey in the morning? About her pushing you in the ocean?"

The memeories of the fight instantly entered my consious, reminding me everything that had happeend and how I had fainted clutching my stomach.

"Why are there bandages on me? What happened?" 

"You were right about Hailey, Eva." Rush said and put his head on mine gently, "I am so sorry you had to go through that we thought it was just a misunderstanding."

With his each word I was freaking out instead of feeling relieved. What had happened suddenly?

"How come you are accepting it now?" I murmured while I licked my dry lips, "you did not believe me when I told you. Why the sudden change of belief?"

Liam put his hand on mine and turned my face to him. A glass of cold water was in his hand, extending it towards my lips. 

"Drink." he said, tipping the glass to my lips, making me drink it slowly.

I instantly drank the water with a sigh, the wetness of it coming with a huge relief to my throat. Once finished, he took the glass away and put it on the table and then turned back to me.

He took my hand in his own. His other hand went to my waist, resting over the bandage before he murmured, "you had fainted in the morning. When Hailey had pushed you, she had dug her claws inside your skin which had ripped your skin from inside."

My eyes widened in shock at the words. "her claws had ripped my skin from inside?"

Rush sighed and nodded his head, "Yes. There was no big injury, but since you are our mate, your body could not handle the touch of Hailey's wolf. It acted as a slow poison. Since you had fallen into the ocean, the blood had gotten washed away completely. But overnight, the poison of having Hailey's claws dug inside you had intensified. And then when this morning you got in a fight with Hailey, your blood pressure just increased fast and made you faint."
