I Think, Therefore I am

COMFORT

Ophelia woke up tired with a throbbing pain all over her body but besides that, she felt that she was lying in a soft comforter instead of the muddy and uncomfortable floor. She tried to sit up but she felt a pain in her side, bandages were all around her body, a sudden agonizing pain hit her back making her grit her teeth. Then the door opened scaring Ophelia. A gasp was heard together with a crash, she looks at the source of the sound and found a woman that seems to be carrying some food and medication.

"Oh dear, please be careful. I just finished bandaging your wound you wouldn't like for your wound to open up again" the woman said in a caring tone.

"Where am I? Who are you? How did you find me?" Ophelia questioned the woman

"I am Layla, my son found you in the forest injured and panic. So we decide to bring you in our hose to patch you up" the woman answered with a gentle smile plastered in her face.

"t-thank you, I guess" Ophelia thanked the woman, making the woman smile widen

"If you don't mind, may I check up your wound to make sure it didn't open?"

Ophelia doesn't trust this woman even if she just saves her, she could be just lying to her and if she ever found out that she is an omega she will be forced to go back into the rehabilitation, she has to hide her scent, — her suppressant!

She grabs the pouch in her pocket but was found nothing. Ophelia paNicked and search for the blue liquid in the vile, she trashed around trying to find the vile. 'Where, where, where—where is it???'

"Oh no, please come down young omega. You will worsen your injury" the woman grabbed both her wrist. Those words made Ophelia freeze, 'she knew—she knew that she is an omega. She will be put back in that prison again. No-no-no-no' Ophelia began to shake due to that thought. The Layla instantly noticed the teenage omega was shaking, eyes shedding tears. Layla hugged the teenage omega to comfort her.

"Shhh, don't worry if you're thinking that I will send you back to the rehabilitation, I will not let that happen. Because I know how you feel"

Layla stroke Ophelia's back gently and avoiding her injury. As she pats her, Ophelia began to calm down accepting the hug from Layla. What does she feel how I felt? Unless—?

"Are you an omega as well?" Ophelia looks directly at Layla's face trying to figure out if she was lying or not. Making Layla smile back at Ophelia with plain-looking eyes, her expression was enough to tell that she is indeed an omega.

"You don't need to worry about going back, we omega has to stick together, right?" Layla smiled with glee and hope. Ophelia shed a tear and filled with happiness.

"Y-yeah, we do" Ophelia smiled despite tears was pouring into her face. As they hugged together again, Ophelia noticed the smell the scent of vanilla and honey at the older omega that made Ophelia purr in comfort.

Both omegas pulled away from each other, with a smile on their face. Ophelia wiped her tears as Layla stood up and grab the forgotten platter that was dropped in the ground.

"I will bring another bread and fruits for you, Ohhh—and before I forgot—"

Layla gave Ophelia a familiar white pouch with a vile hanging beside it. Ophelia let out a gasp of relief as she takes the pouch that Layla hand to her.

"I know it's a suppressant, and I also have asuppressant on me. If you ever need one again don't hesitate to ask me" Laylasaid before walking out of the door, leaving Ophelia with her thoughts. She wasglad that she has an omega to rely on.
