Chapter 44: Infirmary

Unedited

You lied in the hospital bed silently as nurses each studied you as if you were an abnormal creature. Shortly after you had founded that the Booking Glass was still safe, Nova had immediately pushed you towards the infirmary. It was for the best after all.

Nurses and doctors asked you a multitude of questions regarding the previous evening, noting down your answers hastily. You had hoped that defeating Pitch and reverting him back to normal would be the end of your adventure, but apparently not.

Beeping filled the room as you were hooked up to various machines, far more complex than the one's humans have currently. The noise filled your ears, giving you a pounding headache.

Doctors and nurses were looking over their notes and their machines, before looking up to each-other with slight shock written on their faces. Their lips each pursed together, afraid of giving you the news.

"Everyone?" You perked up, "what have you found...?"

The doctors each looked at each other, silence filling the room.

"Your highness I...would we be allowed to speak of news with the Guardians and your children first...?"

Confusion filled your eyes, why would they want to tell the others first? Why not you?

"Don't get us wrong your highness, it's just that...we want to speak with them thoroughly first, to get more of an idea of what exactly happened..."

Your lips pressed together, "of course...take all the time you need..."

The doctor nodded at your words and stepped out of the infirmary, where the others were waiting anxiously.

North and Bunny each bounced their legs impatiently, waiting for the doctor to speak. Tooth, Sandy, Rogue and Jack stood to their feet, awaiting the doctor's answer.

"Everyone..." The doctor began, "need not be worried, Ms (Y/N) will be alright in due time..."

A wave of relief washed over everyone, their sighs filling the area that was once silent.

"What exactly happened?!" Rogue said, "no one has said anything to me! First thing I see this morning is my mothers blood covered bed! What happened?!"

"Princess please calm down..." the doctor mumbled, "please allow me to explain..."

Upon their words, Rogue sat back down, "explain quickly, or else."

The doctor gulped, rubbing the back of their neck nervously as they looked over their notes.

"During the Festival yesterday evening it seems to be that the Queen had been targeted by a male running one of the booths in the centre of the Empire. It seems to be an attempted assassination," they said, adjusting their glasses, "according to the Queen's words, she was lured down Vinhlox road, just West of the City Square."

"Go on..." Rogue said, being held down by Vanish, who as well, was slowly succumbing to her own anger.

"Right, well, according to her explanation, it seems that this male had said he wished to speak with her. Of course, as per usual, your mother instantly thought that he wanted to speak on behalf of work related matters. As we know, that wasn't the case."

"Get to the part where you tell us what happened in that alley," Vanish commanded, "and give me a description of the one responsible so I can send the Guards on search."

The doctor sighed, handing a sketch of the male to Vanish, "the Queen described him as you see in the portrait, please send out a search on this person..."

Vanish carefully studied the sketch of the man and left, leaving multicoloured feathers in her wake. Tooth sighed, not having seen her sister this angry in a long time.

"Onto the next part," the doctor began once again, "according to the bruises and wounds on (Y/N)'s body, we can only assume that she did put up a fight when suddenly attacked. It seemed she was slammed into one of the stone walls and...."

"He put his hands on her..." Tooth said, fiddling with her fingertips in her lap, "we know..."

"And I'm assuming she told you she was stabbed in the process?"

"Stabbed?!" Rogue cried out, "with what?!"

"A needle," they finished, "a needle containing a liquid that...would stop her from being able to heal at a fast rate."

"But...we have always been able to heal quickly," Rogue said, "we're not humans...one wound and it's almost completely gone within the next few minutes."

"Precisely. This man took away that ability from your mother. This whole incident was planned from the beginning."

"Does this mean that...she's completely lost her wings? There's no way of getting them back?" Tooth questioned, still fiddling with her fingers.

"I am afraid so..."

Silence washed over the group once more, everyone staring into their laps.

"If it is any consolation, she is on her way to being fully healthy once again," the doctor continued, "we have sewn up her wounds and they should be completely healed in the next few hours."

"Zhat is a relief..." North said, stroking his beard, "we have to do something for her..."

"She's risked her life since day one! She's helped us far more than we've helped her..." Tooth said.

"Take a mental note, all of you," the doctor sighed, "she has been through far too much trauma, from losing a war on her home planet, to being abused by her husband and almost killed by him, you must be careful with what you plan."

"Father is still in the dungeons, isn't he?" Rogue said, standing to her feet once more.

"Yes he is, why?"

"I want a meeting with him later this evening, I know the one thing that would make my mother and this whole kingdom fill with joy."

"And what would that be, Princess?"

She smiled that signature cheshire grin, her eyes glowing with mischief.

"An execution."

Apologies for the shorter chapter this weekend! I've just been laying in bed with no motivation haha!

But this book will only have a few chapters left! I know I've kinda stretched it a fair bit but that's okay! It's my first proper fanfiction!

Actually, after this book is done, I'm gonna be doing another X Reader (the one I talked about in a previous chapter) and I'll be moving onto a more personal book with my own characters!
