The one who got away

Chapter 6: Onyx

I stirred awake and looked around trying to figure out where I was, my head was pounding from the damn beeping sound that was coming from what I could tell was a machine, which wasn't helping.

That's when I realized I was laying in a hospital bed with my mother, who was hooked up to all kind of machines , holding onto her like my life depended on it.

I sat up slowly trying not to disrupted my mother's sleep and looked to her right and saw my sister was also sleeping next to her.

I slowly removed myself from my mother's side and got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom, or should I say stumble, cause goddess was I drowsy, I must be ok some kind of pain meds or something. When I reached for the doorknob of the bathroom, I almost collapsed with the memories from last night flooding back, made me sick.

I remember almost being beaten to death by my father or should I say, Kayn, he is nothing to me now, just a man I share DNA and a last name with. But then I remember him rejecting my mother and them taking him away and then I blacked out. I guess they had to bring us to the pack doctor cause this room is way to white to not be a hospital. 

I had to grab onto the counter to keep myself up right unless I wanted to meet the floor due to, I'm guessing, vertigo. I slowly looked up to the mirror and what I saw almost brought me to tears, my lip was split open, my right eye was almost closed shut and the left one had a huge bruise around it. Where my cheeks meet my eyes were swollen and colored black and purple due to my nose most likely being broken and then fixed which was stuffed with cotton and wrapped so ya.

I must have dissociated in the middle of my break down because I almost screamed when I realize my sister had walked into the bathroom and was staring at me through the mirror, she didn't look good her self, with her messed up hair and a huge bruise forming on her cheek from when Kayn slapped her.

"hey," she weakly stated, keeping her head down.

"how are you feeling?"

I just looked at her dumbfounded. Like how could someone be so swallow.

"how am I feeling?" I repeated to myself more then to her, "I'll be okay, I guess." I sighed, looking back at myself in the mirror.

"I just wanted to say, I'm sorry, I now realize how much of a bitch I have been acting to you recently. I had known what he's been doing to you and momma but I just kept quiet cause I was scared," she started sniffling and backing away from me.

"Hey, it's okay, okay? He's has hated me since birth and once you came along, he just used you as nothing more than a weapon for his pleasure, to flaunt that he had at least one worthy child." I walked up to her and hugged her.

"I love you Cory, okay?"

I used a nickname I haven't used for her in so long, "Yes, I have said some mean things in the past and vice versa but lets just start over," I stepped back and looked at her in the eyes, "Yeah?"

She nodded in agreement, "yeah."

With that, I left her to clean her self up and so I could go check on momma.

As soon as I closed the bathroom door, the door to the room opened and stepped in the head doctor I have come to know over the years, Dr. Lilith Lyko, the witch doctor, or that's what everyone else in the pack calls her.

"How are the patients feeling?" She smiled at me softly, she knows our past, I have been in this hospital one to many times than a child should be.

"I'm doing fine, my sister is in the bathroom and well momma is still sleeping," looking over at my momma who was still sleeping peacefully in bed.
