After All This Time

Chapter 38

She recognized the ocean scent belonging to Silas. "Silas," She gasped as the scent got closer and gentle rough hands scooped her up. "Whoa," She groaned as dizziness swept through her.

"Sorry Angelos Mou," He said scruffily. "Close your eyes, I'm bringing you to Doc."

I got her He said through the link. I'm bringing her to Doc. She's going to need stitches on her head but she will be okay.

Thank the fuck, Gabe sighed in relief. I'm on my way to get her stuff to stay for a few days.

Don't feel good She pushed away from Silas and threw up. "Sorry."

"Don't be Pookie," Sean said using his jacket to wipe her mouth. "Let's get her inside so I can get her patched up."

As he was working on her stitches on her head Gabe showed up and started packing up a bag for her to stay a few days. As much as he wanted to pry he knew better, he grabbed some clothes and necessities then set out some clothes for her to change into once she was all fixed up. He left her room and went back to the living room to wait for Sean and Silas to come out of the bathroom with her.

"Alright, easy does it Pookie," Sean's voice said as the bathroom door opened. "If you need help just say so and I'll help."

"Okay," Her voice echoed back as Silas came into the living room. He seemed a little shocked to see him there but Gabe shook his head and Silas nodded understanding.

"Did you get her stuff for at least three days?" Sean asked and Gabe nodded.

"I sent Victor pictures of her toiletries and shit and he said he would go to the goddamn store for me," Gabe whispered. "How the fuck is she?"

"Looks worse than it actually is, thankfully," Sean said both vocally and through the link. "She has stitches on her head and leg and her hand has minor cuts but it's not as bad as it looked. The barnacles cut her leg when she fell and then when she moved she cut her hands."

"Her panic made her think the worse but she was actually in a safe area, there's no way the sharks would have reached her," Silas said and thought. "But I'm glad she was thinking of safety."

You on your way? North and Luke asked.

Not yet, Silas answered back She's changing into dry clothes.

I'll grab her wet clothes and wash them at the house, Gabe thought as they heard her bedroom door open. She's done changing. Be there soon.

"I'm ready," She called out as she took a few steps then stopped. "Give me a second, I got dizzy."

"Can I come pick you up?" Silas asked and she agreed. He smiled softly seeing her in black shorts and a large black rock band shirt. She had Luke's hoodie on and was holding North's blanket. "Let me tie your shoes, they've come untied."

"I didn't tie them," She admitted. "It would have made me more dizzy, I just slipped them on."

"Okay, well I'll tie them," He said kneeling in front of her. "There we go, I'm going to pick you up now."

She grabbed onto him then rested her head carefully on him as he slowly carried her bridal style. "Thank you for doing this," She spoke softly as Gabe grabbed her keys and Sean held the door open so they could walk out and Gabe could lock the door.

"Of course," Sean said softly knowing her head was hurting. He was glad she hadn't closed the bond so they could take most of the pain from her. "We appreciate you reaching out to us for help."

"Can I sleep?" She pouted, "Tired."

"Go ahead," Sean agreed, "We will wake you every so often to just make sure you are okay. I don't want to risk the chance of you having a concussion, alright?"

"Okay," She whimpered as Silas sat her in the passenger seat of his car. He buckled her up then covered her up with the blanket. She closed her eyes as he shut the door then walked around. He looked at Sean and Gabe then nodded and got in his car. He knew that they all knew this was their one chance to prove to her what she knew was wrong when it came to them. They would take this chance to show her just how much she meant to them. They finally had the chance to worship their beloved like the queen she really is.
