Sacrifice [Edward Elric x Reader]

chapter 34

"You!" You gasp, your whisper somehow amplified but muffled at the same time by the oxygen mask.

The doctor grins. "Me? What's so special about me? What about you?"

You frown. What is he going to do to you?

The man closes the door behind him as your eyes widen. He steps towards you and sits down on the chair beside your hospital bed. He extends his hand towards you.

You flinch and shrink towards the other side of the bed. "Don't touch me." You whisper menacingly.

A flash of hurt crosses his face. "Why?"

You growl. "What do you think, stupid?"

"Now, lets not start calling each other names." The doctor starts smiling again and reaches into his pocket, taking out a pair of blue gloves. He pulls each glove over the corresponding hand and rubs them together. You watch him wordlessly.

He grabs your right arm, and you try to pull away, but his grip is like iron. You growl again.

The man ignores you and starts examining the IV line.

"I see you have pain reduction medicine. Have they not changed your IV bag yet?" He mutters the first half and asks the second. You don't answer.

"Come on, (Y/N). Why won't you reply to me?"

You decide to ignore him again, causing him to heave a sigh. "Okay, I'll take that as a no."

You look away from him, giving a tug at your arm. He lets go, and you drop your hand back to the original position.

"(Y/N). Come onnn. Talk to meee."

You don't say anything.

"Just because I attempted to kill you doesn't mean that I will hurt you now. I'm still a well-known doctor."

"Yeah, but you're on the bad side." You whisper, the sound of your whisper drowned out by the other sounds.

"Hm? I didn't hear you~!"

You blink, exasperated. This man. Is he on your side, or the other?

"(Y/N)..." He growls, a change in tone. You snap back to attention, but don't reply.

"Fine." He stands up abruptly. "I'm leaving."

He starts walking towards the door. You look away. But when he opens the door, you can't help yourself but ask:

"Wait! What are you guys planning to do with me on December the 27th?"

The doctor turns around joyfully at first, but his expression quickly becomes dark. He smiles evilly, making you flinch.

"Something horrible."

With that, he steps outside the room and shuts the door behind you, leaving you in the room by yourself, wondering exactly what would happen.

[December 15, 1917]

It's been three days since you were PICU-ized, and now you're back into your normal hospital room with your normal nurse and normal surroundings.

At first, your nurse had been mad at you. She scolded you and yelled at you and grouched at you, but soon, she started to soften up.

You tried to ask her what was going on with all this drug overdose and weird stuff, but she just shook her head quietly.

You wanted to be let out of the hospital, but they wouldn't let you, although the paper reports on your health that you received said that you were healthy and ready to leave. It annoyed you badly.
