Dark Familiars

Epilogue

My hand twitches as I open my eyes. I try to sit up but clench my head in the terrible pain that went through my body. I then sit up imedditaly. Gray! "G-" My throat cuts off. I look around frantically looking for him. "Taylor calm down. He is here. See." I hear a familiar voice says. I see Gray in his wolf form sleeping. A Iv was attached to his front leg. Patches of fur were missing on his body. I see a Iv on my arm also. A breathing tube went to my nose. "Wh-" I begin to say until I then see Ms.Aserg in front of me. "Don't speak. Ill explain." She whispers. She sits at the end of my bed. "do you remember anything from last night? Nod yes or no." She asks. I nod yes. I could only remember the immense pain I felt from the circle. Also seeing- I feel my heart drop. "Mr.Jackel" I rasp. She looks away biting her lip. "I s-saw wh-wat- ha-p-pene-d." I whisper slowly. She nods. "Gray killed Mr. Sa- my-..." I grab her hand. I nod. A nod signaling speak no further. I knew from Mr.Sacros dying that her boys died too. Even though they were in a bad state of mind they were still her boys. Her children. Its probably tearing her heart apart that her friends or whatever she would call us killed her sons. "Gray is ok. He was starved and tortured but he will pull through. You've been out for a week and Gray hasn't woken up yet." She whispers. There was a long pause until I knew something else was up. "Taylor.." I look up at her. "You were screaming in your sleep. For your parents. For Gray." She whispers. I feel myself shiver remembering the horrifying memories. I had dreams of Gray being tortured. Maybe they weren't even dreams but reality of what happened to him. I also had dreams of my parents dying by Mr.Sacros. I just nod. I hear Gray breathe heavily through his nostrils. Then he calms down. "Can- I-I get up?" I rasp. "No, but I can get a wheel chair." She says. I nod. She gets up and walks away for a minute. Then she comes back with a wheelchair that had a Iv bag holder. She helps me into the chair and puts my Iv bag onto the holder and my oxygen tank I didn't know I had hooked onto the arm of the wheel chair. We slowly make out way out of the infirmary.

It took me awhile to realize we were in the academy. We go out into the empty courtyard.

"The school has been on break since the battle. My team didn't get major injures. Your team got the worst of it. After the battle ended we got people to get you and Gray out of there to a hospital. They fixed the major things which you had internal bleeding and Gray had been starved terrible and had wounds that were infected and needed to be treated immediately. Fred is still in a disease treatment care place for his illness that overloaded him after taking down Ryan." She explains. "We flew back here in a private jet and have been treating you guys since. Mrs.Jackel has been watching over the academy along with Mr.Vito." She adds. "The academy will be back up in a month or so." We stop and see the training room. Melissa or Ms. Jerry was kicking and whirling through the air. She then notices me and runs to me embracing me in a bone crushing hug. "To tight." I rasp. "Sorry." She apologizes. I smile weakly. "Has he woken up?" She asks. I shake my head. She frowns. "Well I'll have to punch him until he wakes up." She teases. I laugh. My lungs heaving for air. What happened to me that made have to get a oxygen tank? "Well we best be going. I'll see you around." Ms. Aserg says politely. Melissa waves goodbye. We make a circle back to the infirmary. I see nurses crowded around Gray. "Gr-" I rasp. "Gray!" I scream. I try to get up but Ms. Aserg makes me sit. "You can't stand." She warns. I rip out my Iv and take my oxygen tube off and bolt of Gray. My legs got pins and needles while pain also shot through them. I push through the nurses and get to his bed. He was in human form under the covers naked. I hold his face. It had bruises, the cuts were either healing or stitched up, and his face was sickly pale and cold. I move the silver hair from his eyes. "Gray." I whisper. I slowly bring my lips to his. There were cold and chapped. I see his eyes slowly open as they get wider and wider. I release from his lips. Tears weild in my eyes. "Taylor." He rasps. "I'm here." I choke. Shit. I wave my hand for Ms. Aserg. She rushes over with the wheel chair. I sit down and put the oxygen tube back on. I breathe in the air quickly. The nurses were away whispering and giggling. I role my eyes. Romantics.
