There was awful music close by. It made her twitch, then she realized it was a jingle on repeat.
That was a gentle wake-up for her that she was not dead. Devin was very alive. Why did she think he would kill her? He would have, but he didn't. He saved her. She still wasn't sure.
Maggie was screaming around the place, calling for the nurse to check on her. If only she kept her freaking twitching to herself. Devin wanted to scream; she would hold it in for as long as she was still there. Waking up would only rattle her more.
"Calm down miss. Let me check her vitals." The doctor tried to calm Maggie as much as possible.
Maggie, nonetheless, Continued her dramatic wails. " My poor baby sister!"
Devin's eyes fluttered open as the doctors checked on her. The light was...bright. But all in all, she felt fine and highly medicated of course. Though her memories weren't quite connecting for her. She had no idea why she was...
Kindynos... That bastard.
He either saved her or left her to be found by someone who cared.
" Lynn! Oh my god, yes! She just woke up. I can't..." Maggie spoke to Lynn on the phone as she continued to wail and damage her sister's hearing.
If she was not so medicated, Devin would have asked the doctors to call security to escort her sister. She felt sorry for putting her through all of that, but it wasn't her in the hospital bed. Maybe if she shut her eyes, she thought, She could force herself to sleep.
" Oh, You're here. I think she's trying to sleep though."
Who was that? She opened her eyes to see her sister having a chat with Kindynos. She couldn't make out his words, so she had to assume he was spelling people again. He looked in her direction and smiled.
Devin's heart nearly stopped. In all his visits, she was sure he never actually smiled at her. Removing all the time he threatened her with them, just a genuine smile. There was no way she could make out if he was actually smiling or baring his demon fangs.
" Is she okay?" Lynn asked the doctor.
The doctor smiled." Probably just excited from seeing her boyfriend here." She checked Devin's vitals again. " I'll be outside if she needs anything." The doctor left.
Lynn sighed." I'll talk to her after I get some water okay. Stay with her." She ordered Kindynos.
Devin just stared at him not knowing what to say. " Boyfriend...?" She asked in a strained whisper.
He shrugged. " Had to give them something. I mean I did bring you to the hospital."
Devin blinked severally, unable to respond to that.
" He shoved his hands in his pocket. " You called me Dynos. Nobody has called me that in years so, here we are. I guess that stirred some remorse in me"
She blinked again in confusion. " So... I'm alive because I shortened your name."
" Not necessarily, But yes."
" So you would have let me die?"
He thought to himself for a moment. " Maybe, I try not to meddle in human affairs. You are an exception, sort of."
" Am I supposed to be flattered?"
" I wouldn't really care if you were. What matters is that you didn't fall off the bridge and die."
Devin wanted to hit him so badly. Here she was, with Six-foot two of beautiful standing over her, with the most beautiful flowers in hand. Nothing coming out his mouth seemed to be a percent of good, and she was still swoon. He really would have let her die if he wasn't obsessed with her for some strange reason. Suddenly being in any form of agreement with him sounded more and more like a bad idea.
