when the pain is too much to bear (Fantastic Beast OC tome 1)

St Mangouste

Thomas POV

— Thomas, you have to come ! Bed 4 ! say Alice, anxious.

— What's going on?" I asks, following her.

— Rosa was attacked, she's fine now. I looked after her. Informs me my colleague.

Rosa... no... I panic, my stomach knot up and my brain fogging up. She... is fine.

— How's .... she's doing ? I worry as I hurried to the bed.

— She's unconscious, pretty severe concussion, two or three hours before she wakes up. I repaired a shoulder fracture and the head wound.

Rosa is lying here, hurt. My heart breaks, tears of fear and pain flow up. I sat next to her, keeping immediately an eye on her vital. How could someone do that to you ?

— Rosa? Rosa? I am here. I say taking her hand. Alice, can you tell Theseus and Leta ?

— Of course! I am here if needed.

— Thank you for Rosa!

— You would have done the same. Respond Alice leaving me.

I refocus on Rosa:

— You're fine. You're fine now. How could anyone do this to you ? I'm staying with you, Rosa. I am here.

She was breathing calmly; I calm down a bit. I took the file, and everything was in order. Thanks to Alice for taking care of you, you really scared me. What really happened ?

In the meantime, in the Ministry of Magic:

We tap into office two of 31 division of the aurors.

— Yes, Charlie. says Theseus Dragonneau.

— Rosaline was attacked in her apartment by Grindelwald supporters.

— Wha... what?" That can't.

— She's in Saint Mongoose, still unconscious. You should know.

I stood up quickly, asking:

— Are we on the case?

— Yes. Oliver and Jack are at the flat.

— I'm going to st mongoose.

— I gather that.

I ran out to a chimney and transplant to the hospital. I ran to the reception desk to the receptionist and asks for Rosa.

— First aid, ask for Doctor Barlow.

— Thank you!

— Thomas !

— Theseus. Rosa is recovering well. Her fracture has been repaired, but she still has a severe concussion. It will take another hour or two to wake up.

I breaths of relief.

— Where is she?

— I will take you. It could have been really worse, but she's pretty banged up. Who was it that attacked her ? Grindelwald's followers?

— Yes, those traitors," I say with a dark look. I don't know more. I'm on it, personally.

They came into the room, she is there bandaged and unconscious.

— Rosa ! I'm going to .... those bastards.

— Get them.

— They won't get away from me. They'll pay.

— I'm staying with her. I have to tell Leta.

— I have patients, he say without wanting to leave, I'll be back as soon as I can.

— Thank you, Thomas, for taking care of her.

— It wasn't me... they attacked Rosa. Those ..... respond Thomas, looking grim.

— I'm going to catch them. You okay ?

— No.
