As the woman gently takes my hand to help me over to the table, I flinch and pull my hand away, stubling backwards into the wall as I do so.
Some people might call that a trama response,
I call it me being damn stupid.
These people helped you Lani and you won't let them take your stupid hand?
"Sorry" I say quietly
"Its ok, let's just get your injuries cleaned up." She says kindly back
I follow her over to the table, it is a round wooden table with 3 chairs around it. I assume one for each family member. As I walk over the man gets up and offers me his chair that is next to the girl. I try to ignore her as I imagine it is kinda awkward to have a stranger, the same age as you, bleeding in your house. I sit and lean back into the chair with a grunt as my back hits the chair and sit up strait instead.
Wings can be quite annoying somtimes...
The woman leaves and comes back with a medical kit. She crouches down beside the chair and opens up the kit on the ground. Inside are stitching needles and medical thred, along with gouse, bandades, antibiotics, and some twesers.
"looks like you tore your stitches hun, I'm going to have to redo them if that's ok with you." She says looking up at me, the needle and medical thred in her hand.
"Ya sorry and thank you." I say lifting my shirt to reveal my lower abdomen and securing it by tieing the other side into a knot.
"This will hurt, do want some pain meds?" She asked getting the medical things ready.
"No I'm fine" I say
I notice the girl look confused and shocked face out of the corner of my eye but ignore it once the woman starts using the tweezers to take out the broken threads of stitches.
Once she is done, she brings out the needle and thread and starts to stitch me back up.
To be honest I have had this done more times than I can count so I was pretty used to the pain of it by now so I just looked around the house and out the window as I waited for her to finnish.
Outside where beautiful old trees that had moss and mushrooms climbing up it's trunk and falling doown it's branches.
--------------------
"All done!" The woman says, pulling me out of my thoughts as she finnishes putting the bandage on the wounds on my side and wings.
"Great, once again thank you ma'am" I say putting my shirt back down
"oh no need to be so formal we should introduce ourselves." She says chuckling
"I'm May, this is my husband Enzo and this is our daughter Sage" She explains
"...."
"What's your name?" She says after an awkward silence
"Lani" I say hesitantly, do I really want them knowing my name?
"Well good morning then Lani, would you like some pancakes?" She asks
"What are pancakes?' I respond, genually confused
