Rise Of A New Heart

Chapter 9 Missing Piece

Enyo felt a strange sensation come over her left arm and when she opened her eye it nearly popped out of her head. She stood there, shaking, mouth agape. Her arm... Was GONE! She couldn't speak, only look down in horror where her arm used to be. Her gaze snapped towards Law only to be double shocked and horrified even more (if that's possible) her arm was on the bed where she was sitting earlier, strapped down. She clenched her teeth as Law who was focusing on the dismembered limb slowly pushed the needle underneath the skin.

"AHHHHHHH! ITS HURTS! STOP! CAPTAIN! PLEASE! TAKE IT OUT! AHHHH! YOU'RE GOING TOO DEEP!"

Enyo cried and whimpered whilst holding what was left of her arm with her other hand. Law tried to tune her out while he filled 3 vials with her blood 'Why does she have to say it like that...' ( -_-') He thought with a twitch of his already furrowed brow that was hidden by his fluffy hat. He finished up his task which was much more bothersome than it should have been and tossed the arm back to its rightful owner. Overjoyed the stolen appendage was returned to her Enyo quickly stormed over to Law and whacked him across the back of the head with her detached arm

"YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!" She fumed.

Law turned and glared at his troublesome new subordinate. Whose sudden confidence disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Ha ha, well if that's all you need from me captain I'll get out of your hair." Enyo said awkwardly, scratching the back of her head with her left arm in her right hand as she backed up towards the exit.

"Your room should be ready by now. You are dismissed."

Law said, slightly exasperated.

"YES CAPTAIN!" She affirmed, saluting with her severed arm.

She then flew out of the infirmary towards her new room but stopped in her tracks 'Crap! I left without getting Law to reattach my arm...' she looked down longingly at her lost limb 'Maybe Bepo can help.' So with that thought she turned and headed back to the mess hall, hoping she would find him there.

Luck was on her side and as she came upon the doors to the mess hall she could hear the voice of the fluff ball she was looking for. Enyo poked her head through the doors and gasped at what she saw.

"Penguin! Sachi-kun! WHAT HAPPENED!?" She burst in alarmed at the site.

Both Penguin and Sachi were sitting hunched over one of the dining tables surrounded by bloody tissues holding their noses. What she didn't know was when she backed up against the wall in the infirmary she had accidentally pressed the subs intercom and the whole ship heard what went on. Penguin and Sachi looked up and as soon as their eyes met Enyo's figure their nosebleeds returned with renewed ferocity.

"AH! Guys!"

"Don't worry about them Enyo. What happened to your arm?"

Bepo inquired snapping her memory back to the reason she was there in the first place.

"Ah right! Well you see Law-San ( PSHHHH! Both Penguin and Sachi's noses gushed more at the mention of their captain) needed Sample's of my blood and I'm actually quite afraid of needles... So he [sniff] he. He chopped my arm off and took it anyway!" She said sporting depression lines and a sweat drop.

"I also left before he could fix it, so I was wondering if you could help me put it back where it belongs..?"

"Yeh sure" The bear said simply.

Enyo handed him... Well her hand and held out her arm stump. Bepo reattached the arm without any problem and after a test run of stretching and finger wiggling she proceeded to glomp her new fuzzy friend.

"THANK YOU! Thank you so much Bepo-San!"

Enyo couldn't help but nuzzle into the soft fur before she let go. She stretched once more and let out a yawn.

"You must be tired Enyo-Chan. We'll show you to your room." Penguin said

"Thank you Penguin-Kun. Goodnight Bepo-San "

"Night Enyo." the bear waved and with that Penguin and Sachi led Enyo to her new room.

Arriving at one of the many doors in the hall Sachi walked up and opened the it, bowing in a gentlemanly manner.

"Why thank you" Enyo said with a light-hearted curtsy.

Walking into her new room she looked around, it wasn't huge but she didn't expect it to be. It had one porthole window on the back wall, a single bed in the left hand corner with a small side table and a dresser in the middle against the right wall. It wasn't flash but it was enough.

"W-well... do you like it?" Sachi asked unsurely

"I love it. Thank you boys." Enyo said, and they both blushed.

"Well... It's been a long day, and I'm fairly tired, sooo... I'm gonna get some sleep now ok?"

"Of course Enyo-Chan! Would you like me to tuck you in~?" Penguin said suggestively with eyebrows wriggling.

"Thanks but no thanks. Goodnight~" she chimed, promptly shutting the door in their faces.

"Goodnight Enyo-Chan~" they said in unison ( which they seem to do a lot.) the pair began to walk away but not before Sachi quickly whispered.

"Sweet dreams."

"You too."

He gushed, then jogged to catch up with his friend, a blush present on his face.

Enyo's sleep that night was deep and dreamless. Her eye cracked open and gazed around at the unfamiliar setting. Realising she wasn't in her normal sleeping quarters Enyo's abdominal muscles heaved her body to sit upright and inspect her surroundings properly. Once the groggy haze of sleep had disappeared she remembered what had transpired the night before. Law saving her, becoming a pirate, blowing up the manor. She smiled at that last thought but it quickly faded, remembering the beautiful artwork in the ballroom and throughout the manor that she had destroyed. 'I suppose there's no use dwelling on the past.' She looked out the port hole to see the deep blue of the ocean. 'We must still be underwater... man, This is really gonna screw with my head' she sighed, 'I wonder what time it is...' Figuring she wasn't going to go back to sleep Enyo pulled the blanket off, swung her legs around and hopped off the bed. Heading over to the dresser against the wall, both relief and concern washed over her as she found her clothes she had brought along had been put away.

After putting on a (colour) dress that had 3 quarter sleeves with white upturned cuffs and reached just above her knees, Enyo pulled he hair up into a high pony tail, slipped on some black flats and headed out the door, making a mental note to buy a mirror... among other things.
