Nova
Chapter 49|It's Over
When I make it to our hospital I'm filled with nerves. I'm hoping they won't be frightened by me, I really don't want to make them feel scared more then they already are. I haven't heard from Clementine since that night she walked out, I hope she's doing okay.
Grayson holds Elias behind me as we walk quietly to their room. I said to make sure they have the same room, I'm sure they don't want to be alone right now and they probably rely on each other. I stop when we make it, looking through the window they have. There both sleeping it seems like, but I just want to check on them.
"Your okay." Grayson rubs my back with soothing circles and I nod my head.
I quietly walk in, taking a seat at the youngest girls bed first. The heart monitor beside her bed brings me comfort, she has an Iv giving her fluids which I'm sure she definitely needs. Her skin doesn't look as pale as it once was, but she's still missing a colour to her skin. Her hair has been brushed out and her face cleaned.
She has a few scratches but they look light. I grab her head gently in mine feeling some warmth, her hands look like they've been through hell and back, her nails practically hanging for dear life the skin brittle and red around her nails beds. She has cuts all over her hands.
Her wrists, red and irritated from I'm sure the cuffs that she was trapped in. I rub my thumb over all the redness and cuts wishing I could make them all disappear. She stirs slightly and I pull away before I wake her. She needs her rest and I don't want to startle her when she wakes.
I stand up and move to the older women. As soon as I sit beside her bed, her eyes fly open as if she could sense me. I sit back in the chair startled her tired eyes scan around the room landing on me in alarm.
"I'm sorry, I never meant to scare you." I talk quietly.
She studies me, assessing if I'm a threat or not. Her eyes go towards Elias who begins to get fussy in Grayson's arms. Grayson's tries to keep him calm but he's not having any of it and before he can wake the while hospital up I take him in my arms.
She watches me as I quiet Elias, rocking him and rubbing my hand down his face gently. I look at her again and she relaxes slowly letting user self get comfortable in the bed.
"I'm sure you have some questions. I'll be happy to answer them." I smile gently.
She opens her mouth only to cough and wheeze. Grayson hands her a cup of water from the side, she hesitates but after I give her a smile she takes it, gulping it down.
"Where am I?" Her voice is sore and croaky.
"Your in the hospital. I found you and the other girl and brought you here."
Her eyes go to the bed behind me, her eyes watering. "My daughter." She whispers.
"Pardon?" I ask confused.
"That's my daughter." I nod my head in understanding her words only co firming my suspicions.
I hoped to be wrong about this.
"Right, your daughter and you are safe here." I reassure her.
"They took us a king time ago. I tried but I was no use." She whispers tears falling down her hollow cheeks.
I gingerly take her hand giving her a squeeze of comfort. "You did your best. I'm so sorry this happened to you." I whisper trying to hide the crack in my voice.
