Knights In Nightmares

The Suspision Rises

Leo's POV:

It's been about three weeks since our little hang out thing. I can tell Jase's warmed up to me, in her own way. But his does she keep getting those bruises? Almost everyday i can spot a new one. Ughhhh. I wish i could just ask her. But every time she noticed me starting at her, she quickly (and quite awkwardly) starts a random conversation.

Ok. Wait. That sounded a bit creepy. Gosh mind! Why are you so weird?!
You know what? I'm going to ask her today! Yeah! She's supposed to come over since we hang out on saturdays anyways. THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS! I won another bet with her. Let's just say she isn't very good at rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.

The doorbell pulls me out of my thoughts. Knocking then follows with a very frantic Jase yelling from behind the door.

"Leo open up! Please! Hurry! " She sounds very distressed, making me rush to the door. I did not expect what i saw when i opened it though.

Jase's POV:

I don't know what was going through my mind when i got in my car and sped off to Leo's place. I wasn't supposed to be there for another hour but i really needed to get out of my house. I flinch and grip my bleeding side tighter.

You idiot! Why didn't you just go to the hospital?!

In the midst of my self scolding i realize my wounds really need attention. My dad sure wasn't happy when i ran out of the house after he was done with the beatings. Once he noticed i was running for the door, he tried to make his way down the stairs as fast as he could. However, he couldn't reach me before i slammed the car in reverse.

Ok. You're already here. So let's go. You can't wait any longer.

I get out of the car and make my way to Leo's door, Almost falling down the steps in the process. When i finally get to his apartment, and hesitate to knock.

This is it. He's going to find out today. All of his suspicious looks will finally be at ease.

I bring my arm up and ring the doorbell. All the sudden my side sends an aching pain through my body and i knock as loud as i can for help, which i follow with yelling at him to open the door. Right as my body is about to give out-from the sudden lack adrenalin and realization of pain- Leo opens the door.

"Don't you dare take me to the hospital." Is all i can get out before i fall into Leo's arms and pass out.

Leo's POV:

Oh shit. What am i supposed to do?! Jase just fell into my arms and im frozen! Ok. Calm down. So you can't take her to the doctor. She'll probably kill me if i disobey so i have to think of something else. Right! I had medical training when i was in an internship at the hospital. I got this.

I pick up Jase and carefully set her on the couch. Running to the kitchen, i ransack the place until i find the large medical kit i invested in a year back. I rush to the living room again and slide off Jase's shirt to examine her wounds.

No guys. I'm not a pervert.

Her skin is torn on her side, but not from a stab. This wasn't sliced. I quickly grab a towel and wet it with warm water, placing it to her side and gently wiping away the blood. I then grab the stitching supplies and fix the tear. Moving on to the next wound, and the next, until I'm done with her body above the waist.

Whelp, she might be slightly weirded out by this when she wakes up, but at least she won't have died.

I sigh and reach for the sides of her pants, pulling them off of her legs. Luckily they were just yoga pants, so they weren't hard to remove.

Oh my gosh.....what happened to her? Her legs are spotted with huge bruises and the same tears as her side.

I quickly finish her legs in the next hour and grab a pair of my sweatpants, tugging them onto her as lightly as i can, careful not to wake her up.

What has she given herself into?
I ponder all of the questions running through my head as i clean up and sit in the chair next to the couch. I didn't even realize i was tired but my eyes stared to drop and i drifted of into a light sleep.
