Broken From Above Powers

Chapter 4

*Mal*

I wake up and I see Carlos lead next to a sprawled out Jay, but I can see Jays body shaking and I nudge Carlos awake. He looks up at me sleepily, "Mal?" I nod, "Can you move very slightly? Jays shaking." I say gently, he nods and moves to the side, careful of his injuries and I gently get a pillow and put it under Jay's head while whispering calmly to him, taking his hair off his face. I don't see any improvement in his shaking, if anything, it's more prominent.

I touch his head gently and he thrashes out, me and Carlos are out the way so we don't get hurt, but it wakes E up. She sees instantly, "M, you know there's nothing we can do right now." I sigh in defeat and stand up, "I'm going to go shower," Evie and Carlos nod and then I walk out the room, shutting the door soundlessly.

*Jay*

His face.

His long nose, glaring eyes, domineering smirk.

*Evie*

I sit quietly with Carlos, as Jay begins to shake worse. I jump up and go over to him, Carlos laying a gentle hand on Jay's shoulder. We sit with him, if we wake him he runs off in a terrible state and it's hard to find him, if we let him sleep but try and sooth him, he thrashes out and we all get hurt, but if we leave him it takes longer for him to escape his prison in his mind. It's an impossible situation and whatever we do it's not gunna end up well for anyone. Carlos sighs, "What should we do?"

I'm about to answer when a knock sounds at the door. I get up and answer it. I see Audrey, "What do you want." I snap, knowing Audrey was horrible and Jay and Carlos were so vulnerable right now, especially Jay. She rolls her eyes, "Queen Belle sent me to check in on you guys!" She said, a false smile set on her face. I sigh, "We are perfectly fine, Audrey. Now go." She walked past me and I grabbed her from behind, attempting to drag her out but she digs her nails into my hands, I keep trying but eventually it's too much and she's walks over to where Jay is laid, he is shaking badly now and Carlos is gently holding his hand. Audrey smiles, "Someone missing their mummy" she sneers at Jays shaking form, I step infront of Audrey, "Please go!" I say, firmer this time but resisting yelling as I know it could trigger Jay and would definitely trigger Carlos. "Why should I? Looks like Freckle Face and Muscles need a hand in.....feeling at home." She touched Jays head, nails digging in. I froze, not his head wound...no, anything but that, I thought as Jay jolted up, arms swinging, catching Audrey's cheek, making a bang on impact. Audrey ran off, "I'm telling Queen Belle!" She said, holding her cheek as she ran off.

Carlos hugged Jay close and I grabbed my medical stuff from a counter in my room as Mal walked in, "What the hell did I miss!?" She asked, confused. "Audrey." Carlos answered as I sat next to Jay, begining to work my magic, stemming the blood and cleaning the wound. Mal sighed, "I'm gunna kill that..." I interrupt her quickly, "Mal, please. We dont need anything else on top of this." She sighed and sat next to me, gently holding Jay's hair away from his face and neck. I finish cleaning up Jay and he hasn't uttered a single word. I look at Mal and Carlos who sigh and smile gently back at me, sadness in their eyes.

I stand up gently and sigh. I can heal their physical cuts and wounds but I can't heal their internal scars and that scares me.

I hear a knock and Mal goes over to answer, I sit by Carlos and wait.

*Mal*

I answer the door and I see King Adam and Queen Belle, along with a Audrey with a puffy cheek. I sigh, "What would you like?" I don't particularly want them to see Jay like this, but I can't refuse the King and Queen. They sighed, "We hear Jay lost his temper again and just want to get the facts straight." I sigh, "Can I just warn Carlos you're coming in?" Audrey went to protest but King Adam nodded, "Of course you can." I disappeared into the room swiftly.

Evie looked up at me, "King and Queen and Audrey. They want to get the facts straight." Evie nodded, "What do we say, we can't say about Jafar." She whispered, I sigh, "Just say it's a nightmare." Evie nods and Carlos agrees, pulling his headphones over his ears a bit more, just incase.

I allow the King and Queen and Audrey in, then moving quickly back over to where Jay and C and E were. Jay was sat there, staring out the window, arms around his torso, oblivious to his surroundings. I exchange a look with E very briefly, and look to the King and Queen. The King sighs, "So, Audrey says that Jay attacked her out of nowhere when she simply came up to see how you were getting on." I look to Evie, but it's Carlos who speaks up, "Jay was having a nightmare and Audrey came over and made fun of him and dug her nails into his head opening an old wound he gained from being in a fight on the Isle. Please don't send him back. He did nothing wrong. Me, E and M don't even go near him when he's having a nightmare BC if he feels like he's being touched he will lash out. Audrey shouldn't have gone near him." He says, words rushing out but clear and true. Everyone looked surprised that C had spoken up like that, but Evie hugged him and I ruffled his hair. The King and Queen nodded, "Ok, thank you Carlos. When Jay's more awake, we do need to see him, but it seems he needs some rest. But he's going to have to do that in the hospital wing, if he reopened a wound, he needs it checked out." Belle said calmly. Me and Evie's eyes flicked towards each other, Carlos grabbed my hand quickly. He couldn't be examined, not fully, we couldn't hide everything that happened at home if they saw what had happened to Jay. "Unless there's a problem with that?" Belle said, obviously seeing the panicked glances between the three of us. I sigh, "it's just a cut on his forehead, Evie's fixed it. It's not bad compared to some fight you get into on the street on the Isle." They sigh, "Well, we would like him to be checked out anyway. As he's getting a therapist and doctor, they would normally do a full body examination on him anyway." The King replies. Audrey huffs, "So what are you doing, he can't be allowed to do that!" I glare at her, "And you shouldn't be walking into people's rooms without permission and bully them!" I snap back, she rolls her eyes and storms out the room.

The royals sigh, "So, can you bring him to the hospital wing somewhen this morning please?" I share a look with Evie and Carlos and then we nod in unison. They smile and then excuse themselves. We bow politely and then they exit.
