SkyFall

Healings, horses, and more

I wrapped a towel around myself as I got out of the shower. I winced from the burning sensation on my back. Stepping out of the restroom, I searched the wardrobe for something to wear. The clothes ranged from gaudy, fancy dresses; to casual dresses; to jeans; and to t-shirts and blouses. The shoes ranged from boots, to sandals, to sneakers that reminded me of Vans.

I was stuck between jeans or shorts, but I went with shorts, knowing that it would be hot outside. I picked out an aqua blouse with a studded collar, and white Vans-like shoes. Wow. Who knew SkyFall could be so fashionable?

I glanced into the mirror. I was skinny, but had a slight curve on my hips. You're not gonna be all self-conscious now, are you Dawn? Shaking that thought out of my head, I decided to turn my back towards the mirror and take a look at my burn. I took a deep breath, suddenly feeling nervous out of my mind. Maybe I shouldn't look... Nope, I'm not. I might pass out if I do.

"Hold still."

"Ow!"

"I haven't even touched you..."

"I know. I'm just preparing myself." A servant knocked on the door and brought a small tray of tiny vials.

"Thank you, Asher." Logan said. Mary handed Logan a blue vial. He took off the cork top and poured some of the stuff onto his hand.

"Hey, it kinda looks like glitter!"

He laughed. "This isn't glitter." He sprinkled some onto my ankle and placed his hand above it. A second later, I felt a warm, tingling sensation throughout my ankle.

"Wow! Was that it?"

"Yes. Your ankle is perfectly healed. But don't go run a marathon, it's still somewhat fragile."

"I didn't like running anyways."

"And now- uhh..." Suddenly Logan looked beyond embarrassed.

"What?"

"Now we have to heal your burn, sweetie, so you have to take off your shirt." Mary answered. Logan muttered something about having to go get a vial and left the room.

"Oh." I took off my shirt and laid facing down, just like she instructed. A minute later Logan came in again. This is embarrassing! Instead of thinking about how awkward the situation was, I focused on my burn.

"How bad does it look?"

"Oh, honey, you don't want to know..." Mary began.

"Is it that bad? Well that's no surprise, it hurt like a- well, never mind."

Logan grabbed a small container and scooped out mushy ointment from it. He spread it across my back soothing the burn. He took a vial and sprinkled the glitter-like substance on my back. From the corner of me eye, I tried to watch. I craned my neck to get a better view. He took his hand, and held it above a burnt area. I felt a cool sensation then I literally felt my skin close up. I cringed. It didn't hurt, but it felt so weird.

He moved his hand forward onto another burnt area, because I began to feel the skin close up further down my back. He waited for a few seconds. "You're healed."

I sighed with relief. "Thanks!" I was about to get up, when I remembered that I was shirtless. "Umm..." Stay down Dawn, you wouldn't want to accidentally flash him!

"Oh!" Logan said, noticing the situation. "I'll go now..." He disappeared out of thin air. I stood up and reached to touch my back. My skin was soft and smooth. Like nothing had ever happened. I grabbed my bra and shirt from a chair close by.
