Martyr | Ray

Chapter 13

It's been almost two weeks since Y/n was found unconscious outside in the forest and Isabella has be taking care of her, often letting Norman or Ray to be a lookout in case Y/n regained conscious.

Currently, the adult was wiping away the sweat on Y/n's face before a knock as heard and she stepped outside.

As soon as she did, a pair of (e/c) orbs snapped open and the sound of shuffling sheets were heard.

Y/n sat up slowly, holding her head as she gripped her head from the aching. Gritting her teeth, 'come on, I can't protect the others if my body can't get used to this.'

Ignoring the pounding in her head, she swung her feet to the side and carefully stood up, holding the bed frame as support.

Slowly making her way over to the door, she carefully opened it and peeked outside to find it empty. Stepping outside and closing the door, she leaned up against the wall as she made her way to a certain room.

Before knocking, she set herself in front of door and placed her knuckles on the door, knocking softly.

Footsteps were heard from the other side and the door opened.

"Y/n?"

(E/C) hazed eyes stared at Krone who looked surprised at seeing her in front of her.

Narrowing her eyes and despite her body feeling weak and noticably trembling, the young girl gave an intimidated aura and it made the grown woman take a sudden step back.

"Sister Krone, let's have a chat, just the two of us, shall we?"

Everyone was gathered inside after play time was over but they were sent to the dinner area, they were a bit confused but the trio was a bit anxious.

Was Mama going to announce who was going to get shipped next? Maybe a surprised shipment?

But instead, she smiled happily and told them to take a seat, which they did, and they all waited for the big news.

"Everyone, I know how everything is worried about Y/n and when she'll recover...." She paused.

Her eyes glancing around the room at the children's faces before closing her eyes.

Ray followed where her eyes landed and dropped the book he held on his lap as his eyes landed on Y/n who leaned up against the wall as she quietly walked inside.

The sound of the book hitting the floor caught Emma and Norman's attention as they looked at Ray but his seat was empty.

"Ray?"

Ray ran past everyone, ignoring how everyone was staring at him before he was a few feet from Y/n who smiled at him tiredly, Sister Krone standing a bit behind her before he ran to her.

Lifting her arms in the air, he engulfed her in a hug as they fell on the floor with a loud thud.

Neither of them said a word as he hugged her tightly, Y/n petting his hair before everyone got over what happened.

"Y/n! You're awake!?" Everyone yelled as they all stood up and rushed over.

Y/n was helped off the floor but Ray continued to cling on her even after seating on the chair. He laid his head on her lap without saying a word as Y/n continued to run her fingers through his hair.

Soon, everyone had dinner and Y/n was escorted back to the infirmary by Isabella soon after.

"How are you feeling, dear?" She asked in a gently way as she helped the girl change into lighter clothes.

"My head still heads and my body feels stiff but I think I'll be fine." Y/n answered.

"I'm afraid you have to wait for the pain to settle down until I'm sure you can take painkillers again."

Nodding her head, the girl crawled on the bed and laid down as Isabella tucked her in.

"Goodnight Mama."

"Goodnight, dear."

The door closed, leaving Y/n in the dark as she stared into the darkness.

All she could hear was a distorted voice calling out to her as she shit her eyes shut.

'I've found you.'
