The Beauty of Flowers and Death (AOT X KNY OC)

Chapter 16: Comforting Needs of a Crying Lady

Erwin Smith

It has been two weeks since we were able to get Yuriel to tire herself out completely. It was a whole lot of trouble but in the end it is well deserved, some of the squad Levi immediately dropped to the ground, sleeping on the extra living room floor and couch the moment Yuriel came down

Though Hange, me and Armin helped and wondered what kind of poison that got her to react like that. With Armin's books in poisons we weren't able to find what kind this was after we took a sample of Yuriel's blood.

We removed her Haori when she passed out from exhaustion so that her body wouldn't feel as hot as it is when she's wearing them. Her arms are filled with scars from fighting and struggling and I binded them with cloth to prevent infection

At that time, I was the only one inside the room with her. Her hands are chained to the bedside post if she considers waking up and causing chaos again. Armin and Hange are in the other room looking at Yuriel's DNA for any toxins that could be removed

For the next few days Yuriel had been sound sleeping though as sound as she could be. I've moved my work here in order to observe her whenever she wakes up. I couldn't leave her side

I've been working inside her room ever since I've binded her bruised arm and wounded hand with a gauze. I couldn't say that Yuriel has been having a sound sleep the past few days though that's what I tell the rest of the squad to avoid them getting worried enough

Yuriel has been having heavy nightmares on continuous nights. She's always gripping the sheets of the bed with a trembling body, her tears are a continuous stream at night but in the morning is when she's peacefully asleep.

I don't know what kind of nightmare she's having but if I could take it away, I would. My brows furrow at the sudden thought of making her dreams be more comfortable for her.

"How's Yuriel?" Hange asked, she knocked before poking her head in. I looked at her before shaking my head.

"She still isn't up yet?"

"No, not yet. We couldn't ask her about what really happened yet."

The silence filled the room, we watched as Yuriel's sleeping form lays still on the bed, breathing soundly.

"Her nightmares are frequent." I noted, not needing to look at Hange for her to know she's nodding.

"I'm impressed with her stamina, I can't believe that's her power when she's holding back." She went on as if the person she's talking to isn't in a coma right now.

I glared at her and she chuckled her hands wound up in the air as if she had been caught. Hange gave me a bottle of water as well as a cup for Yuriel for when she ever wakes up, I set it down next to the bedside table before walking out to eat dinner with the rest of the people living here.

"She still isn't up yet?" Armin asked, he's eating meat with a side dish of potato. He's picking at his food while he swipes a page from the book called "everything you need to know about poisons 101"

"Not yet, but she'll wake up eventually." I replied taking a seat between Hange and Levi. The rest of the dinner went by on a smooth scale, Sasha with her food antics along with Connie and Jean, Armin and the duo Mikasa and Eren and Historia who were eating quietly.

"When do you think She'll wake up?" Historia sounding worries poked at her steak. Levi shrugged his shoulders in reply

"We won't know until—" Jean didn't get to finish his sentence when a shatter came from Yuriel's room and a pained scream

Before I know it, I'm already moving toward her door, At the last minute I was stopped by Levi glaring at me for acting recklessly.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He snapped, his hand on the knob keeping me from opening the door and stepping inside.
