One Deaf Mate and Two Shifters

Chapter 24

Again I woke up to warmth surrounding me. My Masters are kind. Not opening my eyes I felt fur wrapped around my shoulders supporting my head. My body was laying on a soft surface. As I began to scan more of my surroundings, finger tips began to move from my left side, under my breast to my right side. Jerking, I sat up. Pain roared within, forcing a flinch out of me.

In front of me was Master Matthew, his face was inches away from mine. He had been leaning forward and had moved back before I ran into him.

"Sorry... Master." I said looking down, not before I saw him begin to frown.

Seeing his arm move, I flinched, expecting a hit, when he raised my chin with two of his fingers. Their tips barely touching, the lightest of touches, which at first distracted me from the pain radiating from my back.

"Babe, you need to lay back down, your injuries are much more than worse than we thought they were." Slightly pushing me back to lay down again, Master Matthew leaned over my body, eclipsing the light from the window.

As my head touched the fur, it moved, startling me. Turning to my right, I saw a two large green slit eyes, surrounded by light grey fur. A snout wider than my hand and the ears were facing forward. Towards me. The fur tickling my check was soft. My body froze as those eyes gazed into my soul.

Touching my chin again, Master Matthew turned my head toward him, away from the large feline. "Babe, breath. That is Brandon. He will not hurt you. Do you remember how we told you we were shifters?" He paused, long enough for me to nod. "Good, he shifted to keep you safe and warm. Are you warm?" Again, I nodded. Underneath me Master Brandon shook, and I couldn't stop the flinch as I expected him to lash out with his teeth.

Gripping my chin Master Matthew said with a stern expression, "Babe. You. Are. Safe. Be calm. Be warm. Relax." He stopped, looking at me expectantly, until I rested further into Master Brandon. Seeing me release the tension in my body, Master Matthew smiled. His smile allowed me to relax even further. The smile made me feel like the sun was on my face. Master Brandon laid his head down beside my right arm, making my shoulder comfortably warm.

"There that's better. Now we need to talk about you." Seeing my frightened look Master Matthew continued. "I have yet to check your lower body for more injures. I need to remove your pants for that and I didn't want you to panic if you woke up."

They can't see me! They'll do bad things. I don't want punishment. NO!

Master Matthew jumped and began to scowl. "Babe, I need to check you."

"Not wounded..." I managed to get out.

"I saw your stomach. I know what makes those bruises." He can't see more. He'll think I'm defective.

"I won't be mad at you for whatever happened, but we need to check you for infection or open sores."

"Not hurt."

"Babe..."

"NO!" I screamed. Please don't look! Master Brandon jerked. I need to get away. I began to look around the room, away from Master Matthew. I felt a gust of wind and looked up to see Master Matthew blowing air out in a continuous stream.

"Alright. It's okay. I will not look now, but I will need to check later." Master Mathew said while staring me in the eye. "Are you sleepy?" I nodded. "Okay, then a nap we will have." Looking over to Master Brandon, he stated "You can change back but I think you are helping with the heat and relaxation. I need to go get some pain medication, so you will need to look after her."
