Wisps: Recollection (Ninjago X Reader)

50. It's Okay, You're Okay

Fire. Red flames. A fearful pause. And then blue. Burning agony consuming you from the inside. You thrashed, and it was useless. You were held down. You screamed but your cries were crushed. No one came to help-

A pair of bleeding crimson eyes closed somberly.

Your eyes snapped open, blinded by intense white. Swallowing your cries, your nerves flared with rhythms of convulsions. A horrible blend of pain and numbness– You froze at the rough gauze that brushed your tears. It's a dullness that fills you with grief. Terror. Erratic pupils darted to every corner of the white room as you scrambled out of the bed. You tore your arm from the needle embedded in your skin and the wires on your chest– you toppled over, the blood rushing as you lay there, your weakness faithfully reminding you. The door opened to strangers. They didn't budge for a minute, terrified out of their minds. You struggled to get up. "Stay there!"

"Get out of the way."

"Sit back down please-"

"Get away!" You backed from one of their approaching forms, expressions flinching from fear to anxiety.

"If you don't lay back down, we'll be forced to-"

"That won't be needed." The doctor tried to put it lightly, attempting her best to diffuse the situation.

"Hey, hey, what's going on-" Griffin skidded to the door, Skylor directly behind him, her eyes bloodshot. You're calm and still, while your eyes are stinging and blurring like your breaths.

"Sir–I need you to–" He was the first to walk in, ignoring the nurse.

"Let them in." The same doctor took the chance to check the IV drip in your arm. She noticed how you relaxed.

"But-"

"Do you need help walking?"

"I can help them." Griffin and the doctor helped you to the bed.

"Doctor-"

"I think, you should let us in. Make it easier for everyone." Ronin dragged himself in, hushing the nurse, and pointing to you, now pacified. "We'll be out after we check on them."

"But they are dangerous-"

"Go, both of you." The doctor sighed, unfazed. "You have more patients to help out there..." They were grim as they hurried out, leaving her. "Are we good?" she asked, noticing your quiet. "Yes?" You meekly nodded, your voice stuck in your throat. "I'll just check some stuff, and then I'll leave you and your company here." She examined a few things, asked a couple, wrote down several scribbles, and said; "I'll come back later for the rest, for now, take it easy."

"Wait- so when- how good are..." Griffin, as fast as ever asked, his words buzzing past as you zoned out. You only noticed that the doctor left when Ronin snapped a finger in front of your nose. "...you even listening?"

"Kid, you really put a fucking scare, going alone by..." He trailed off at your watering eyes.

"...don't ever do that again." Griffin's words went out the other ear. He knew that, hoping to hammer it in, "You lost like half your arm!" Your quivering breaths turned shorter and you bowed your head. "You could've...!" He let out a whispered curse through a sigh, his temper leaving with another breath. Skylor was on the verge of crying as well.

"...hey... do you need the nurse...?" You felt the water leaving hot trails under your hand. "...are you feeling okay?" Your only hand. You murmured barely above an audible level.
