Their Verena

Chapter 3

I woke up with a sizzling hot pain in my shoulder. It burned and ached. I got off the bed and exited my bedroom. I went to the kitchen still half asleep and in search for water.

I saw dad making pancakes. As soon as he saw me, he took of the pancake from the pan and turned off the stove. I drank water and I heard a gasp.

"it's bleeding." He murmured lowly as he examined my wound. Panic swarmed his eyes. I frowned and as I was about to look towards my shoulder, dad picked me up in his arms and hurried towards the front door. Right then the door bell rang and dad threw the door open.

I frowned when I saw the twin doctors standing there. My eyes traveled to the rows of black cars with Lamborghini in middle. My frown depended. A black clad body guard stood behind them alerted and with a case in his hands. Holding it horizontally and in front of his chest. Dozen body guards behind them stood in two rows lining along the driveway. I scrutinized my eyes, eying the body guard form head to toe. I felt him shift uncomfortably but he kept his face straight and emotionless.

"you forgot your medicine." Doctor Jarrel spoke in his deep voice. And my eyes snapped to his sharp ones. I tried to blink the sleep away and rose my head to answer but my head fell on my dad's chest as I felt another burning hot pain in my shoulder and I clutched my arm. Dad was looking at them skeptically. their gazes were glued to mine and it snapped towards my shoulder and their eyes turned hard, their frowns deepened. I felt blood soak into the dressing on my wound. Their heads snapped towards my dad, their faces emotionless. Dad sighed and moved away from the door, knowing they are were the doctors. He carried me towards sofa and they entered the house striding towards me with strong powerful steps.

Dad sat on the couch and pulled me closer to his chest. I watched with half open eyes as their body guard laid open the medical case on the table and stood afar with his back straight. Looking dead ahead. Doctor Azriel had already taken off my bloodied dressing. I shifted in dad's lap as I felt a burning hot pain around my shoulder traveling to my neck. I gulped in the whine of pain.

Doctor Jarrel handed his twin clean cotton and as it touched my wound, my body jerked in pain and a low groan fell from my lips. I felt him froze and their eyes snapped towards mine. Dad caressed my cheek softly rubbing my back. Doctor Jarrel opened a small bottle and handed it to his twin as he sat beside me on the couch. Doctor Azriel slowly poured the white power on my wound and my eyes clenched as I felt it burn. My breathing fastened even more. And I clenched my jaw taking deep breaths.

"keep your eyes open sweetheart. You need to keep awake baby girl." Dad whispered to me in a soothing voice as he caressed my cheeks softly. I nodded and opened my eyes. "How about I tell you the story of cinderella?" dad grinned down at me. Trying to distract my mind from pain and cheer me up. I chuckled softly as I gazed at my dad with hazy eyes. He knows my love for Disney.

Both of the twin eyes snapped towards mine for a moment, gazing at me intensely. they continued working on my shoulder gently. I felt the pain and the burning in the wound slowly subside due to the disinfectant and numbing powder sprinkled on it. and my body eased a little as I breathed.

Dad started telling me the story and I felt something cool and soothing being rubbed on my wound with gently in circular motions. I felt two burning gazes on me from my side and my back as I listened to the story intently. Meanwhile they worked on my wound gently with careful motions. After cleaning and disinfecting, doctor Azriel finished rubbing the gel, taking his time as he absorbed it into my skin. He then moved to dress the wound. Doctor Jarrel helped him along.

"If I were in the story, I would have taught her stepmother a lesson." I sighed and whispered to dad as he finished the story.

"and i would have cheered you along." He eagerly nodded and grinned at me. I held in my snort and my own grin. I felt two pairs of piercing eyes watching me intently. Amusement flashing in them and gone the next second.
