Bright lights.
That's all Colelctor saw when he opened his eyes. Turning to his left there was a table with some flowers and and balloon wrapped around his stuffed blue newt (y'all if forgot what I named it :/). Reaching out he grabs it and hugs it close with his left arm.
Looking over his right wrist had a cast on and a tube connecting to a glowing blue bag with some weird lights floating in it. Slowly sitting up the room was mostly empty aside from a mirror across the room with a sink and a chair next to the bed.
Looking in the mirror a tired face stared back. Messy white hair poked out at many angles and his star hat was nowhere to be found. The face wasn't recognizable to him. What are this dark circles under his eyes and why are lips are so chapped?
Relizing he was all alone Collector hugs his toy closer to him starting to panic. Removing the sheets he sees his legs wrapped up in bandages and some blood seeping through. "What?" he whisper voice horse as he touches the bandage.
Swing his legs over the side of the bed he tries to float up only to fall down on the floor drained of energy. Standing up he again tries to float again, yet no change. Giving up on flying he starts to walk grabbing the stand with the bag to move along with him. Chill running down his spine as he walks across the cold floor.
Walking to the door he grabs the handle slowly turns it and pulls it back. Peaking out the halls were clear with only some doors open and a plant at the end of the hallway. Stepping out of the room he walked down the hall looking in any room that was open just looking for someone.
As he approaches the corner a warlock pops out from behind and almost trips over the small child. "What the?" the nurse ask looking up for his clipboard. Looking down his eyes at meet with big startled eyes.
"Oh! Hey there little guy what are you doing wandering the halls?" the nurse asks bending down. Being scared of the new face Collector steps back and is at this point clinging on to his toy for dear life. "Hey don't be scared!" the nurse panics seeing Collector's eyes start to water.
"Where's you family?" he ask finally causing the star child to burst out crying. Upon realizing that his mother wasn't there to comfort him tears start overflowing. Poor baby was just blaming himself thinking you got so mad last night, so you left him.
But where we're you?
That's right as you turn the same corner as the nurse you almost trip over a hunched form. "Gah!" you gasp almost dropping your lunch. "Oh I'm so sorry!" the nurse stands up and apologizes profusely. "Hey this all good," you say looking over to the pole next to him.
As your eyes trail down you met some reddish pink eyes that were overflowing with tears. "Collector?" you question. "What are you-," you tried to ask being cut off by a full force hug to your legs almost taking you down. "MOMMY!" he crys hugging tighter.
"It's alright I'm here," you say combing his hair. "This is your kid?" the nurse ask stand up and grabbing his clipboard. "Ah yes, I'm sorry I was getting us lunch," you explain. "It's alright!" the nurse quickly replies waving his hands. "I was just worried who this kid belonged to,"
"Thank you for the concern," you say. "Yes, of course do you know which room you are in?" the nurse as fiddling with the clipboard. "Room 207 yes," you answer. "Speaking of which, Collector come on baby," you say turning to leave.
"Have a nice day," the nurse says before heading to another person's room. "You too," you reply leading Collector back to the room as best as you can with him still clinging to your leg. Bumping the door open with your hip you lead Collector in.
Walking over you place the food on the table and lift Collector onto the bed. "You okay?" you ask sitting down next to him he bed and wiping his face. "No," he whispers. "Yeah, that's fair. I would be mad too if I was yelled at for trying to help," you state.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you," you say pulling you hand back in shame. "And as much as this doesn't excuse my behavior... I was just scared of losing you," you say tears coming to your eyes. "I thought I did something wrong or you had enough, hell what if you got kidnapped," you ramble.
"Why would I get kidnapped?" Collector asks. "Oh sweetie you don't realize just how powerful you are, which makes people scared, which makes people want you gone," you explain. "But you're still here and if someone did try to take you I would not stop till I find you and you're safe again," you finish.
"Oh," Collector says looking down. "Yep, a lot to take in right," you say leaning back. "Yeah, I just don't see why you got so angry," Collector point out. "Yeah, I know. I overreacted, but until you have a kid of your own you just won't know the feeling of having your kid go missing," you explain.
"Where's Hunter?" Collector ask trying to change the subject. "Oh, he had to go back to Darius," you ask getting up. "Hey where are you going!?" Collector panics thinking your leaving again. "To get my food kid I've been up all night by your bedside," you say grabbing the tray and sitting in the chair.
"Hungry?" you ask. "Yeah," he answers. Hand him your Jello cup you eat the mid salad. "Hey mom?" Collector ask. "Yeah baby," "I'm sorry I ran away," he apologizes looking down at the Jello. "It's in the past," you say. "But thank you,"
Looking at each other you smile pulling him into a hug. "Love you baby," you hum smooth out his messy white hair. "I love you too Mom," he says tightening the hug. "Now eat your food," you say sitting back and finishing your salad.
"I want to leave now before the bill gets too expensive, plus this place is just so dreadful," you comment looking around the bland room. "Me too," Collector says before taking another bit. "Did you ever find Henrietta?" he asked.
"No," you answer. "As much as we'll miss her she is on one with the wild," you say dramatically. "Can I be one with the wild?" Collector ask excitedly raise his nuet above his head. "Not yet kid," you say laughing.
