Grace just sits there and stares at william for some moments and starts to take out the supplies in the first aid kit.
'..his whole body is wounded if I have to treat that too I have to take out his clothes' grace face palms herself mentally as she thinks that, she takes a cotton ball and dips it into one of the medicine and reaches out his face slowly.
'ok first I'll treat his face and then his body' she gently applies the medicine on his face and covers it up with a small cotton cloth.
"Ok let's do this" grace takes out william's upper outerwear slowly while closing her eyes shut tightly but as she took it out she finally opens her eyes and looks at him...and sees another inner white T-shirt, grace sighs in relief.
"Wahh I am kind of relieved" suddenly william opens his eyes slowly while blinking and looks at grace innocently, grace's eyes widen.
"William! Can you hear me?" She waits patiently for him to answer, he tries to get up but grace stops him while lying him back down.
"You shouldn't move or else you will hurt your body even more" he looks at her with a straight face.
"What..are you doing?" He asks while squinting his eyes a little.
"Oh um..you were abused by that mother weren't you?" Grace looks at him seriously, william doesn't say anything."You can't lie to me now...I've seen it with my own eyes already" he looks away slightly from her.
"Ok atleast let me treat you" she reaches out to him and he suddenly looks at her with wide eyes while moving away from her, grace looks at him confused af.
"W-what are you doing!" "Chillax I'm just treating your body, you're badly injured" she goes near him but he moves away from her as if he is hiding something
'is he hiding something?' she sits back down while frowning.
"Look, you were beaten horrible by that damn witch and if you're not treated now you will litteraly be dead in another few hours so shut the hell up and come here!" He just looks at her emotionless.
'did I scold him a bit harshly?...nah he deserves it' she goes near him with medicine in her hands and this time he doesn't move at all and sits still.
"Why are you like this?" She looks at him "huh?" "Why are you being nice to me?" william asks genuinely.
"Um you already asked me this question and I gave you the answer why are you asking it again?" She looks at him confused but shrugs it off "ok so um...can you take off your... shirt?" He looks at her with his eyes wide open
"I-i just want to treat your wound ok why so shocked" she sits still looking down while blushing hard almost like a tomato, william also looks away with a red tint visible on his face.
'i cant even ask gabriel or other boys to treat me it will be a trouble....why should I always encounter her when I'm in this state' william thinks with embarrassment and looks at her "Promise me that you will just treat my wound" william says while trying not to make a eye contact, grace nods immediately....
'so I have to tell her the truth....the real truth about me..' william takes out his shirt gently and grace looks at his body and her eyes widen, she backs away a little "wh-why do you have feathers coming o-out of you!?" She looks at his feathered body in extreme shock.
"I know you are shocked grace but..it's true, I'm made up of feathers.." "y-you what?" "Yes you heard it right I'm made up of feathers..and whenever mother beats me up these feathers come out of me instantly and..I have to always fix it whenever they come out like this but I have a normal skin so if I stuff it in and wrap it up it will heal faster and only my head has organs like brain, blood and skull but my whole body is made up of feathers"
Grace just looks at him shock "I can't believe this!...am I in some kind of sci-fi movie or something first the time traveling and now you, you are made up of feathers" she says in disbelief as she stands up from the bed.
William stares at her as he already expected this reaction from her, grace sighs.
"Ok let me heal you first" she goes near him and stuffs the feathers inside him gently, after some moments grace finished treating william
"Uhh you covered up my eyes too?" William asks in confusion while not being able to see
"Yea cause you had few wounds around your eyes too, your eyes are the sensitive part of the body and its deadliest too cause I saw the wound was spreading because of the septic, that witch used some kind of horrible weapon to make you like this" grace was angry at the last sentence, suddenly william laughs.
"Huh why you laughin' when I'm saying this seriously?" "I just like how you call her witch" william says as he smiles a little, but that was enough to make grace's heart race instantly for him.
She was happy that he couldn't see her cause she was a blushing mess all around her face.
'ughh why are you doing this to me you jerk! Why am I like this around him..' she thinks to herself as she looks at him.
"By the way how do you eat? I mean how do you digest the food?" She looks at him curiously.
"I myself don't know too I just digest it like any other human does and I'm ageless" "huh what do you mean by that?" "My facial features and body grow till an adult but that's the limit I just don't age more than that so that's why I'm ageless"
Grace was kind of fascinated "that's cool but at the same time it's not cause you are... immortal in a word right?" William nods
"Then if you have friends and partner like a girlfriend or wife you just see them die at their old age but you just..stay on the earth"
There was moments of silence "that's dark" william says
"Haha it sure is.." grace gets up from the bed and william hears her movements.
"Ok then I'll let you rest peacefully and don't even try to escape the room I'll take care of the others downstairs cause I'm pretty sure they are worried sick about where we are again" grace says her goodbye and william nods.
She exits her room and walks towards the downstairs but as she was walking she bumps into someone "who-" grace looks at that certain someone and shiver runs down her spine when she sees her...the mother.
"Oh hello grace dear" the mother smiles mischievously at grace, a cold sweat begin to form in grace's hand.
'shit not her again!' grace looks at the mother with fear in her eyes but she tries to not show her fear
