Moana and Maui: A Series Of One Shots

I'm A Monster (Part 6)

I'm A Monster (Part 6)

One Shot #25 (Cont.) 

Sina's POV

 Time Skip... After Surgery...

  Moana continues to lie in bed unconscious, her chest revealing a series of scars. Based on her injuries, she must have had at least two hundred stitches just in the area of her heart wall alone. In addition, she has a massive bump on her head that's going to take awhile to decrease. My baby girl looks like she got blasted in a war zone. Well in a way, she was in a war zone, but rather than fighting against someone else, she was fighting herself. A demon took my daughter away from her father, Maui, me, and the entire village. Only Tui, Maui, and I know what happened. We decided not to tell the villagers because they don't need anything else to send them into a frenzy. For example, when Maui stole the heart, a curse threatened to consume Montonui. That sent the villagers into total chaos. Fights broke out, supplies were taken greedily, and much more. Montonui doesn't need a repeat of that. 

  Dr. Kiki told me it could take easily take weeks for Moana to wake up, for her injuries are far more severe than Maui's. I guess being taken over by a demon has that effect on us mortals. I've been so worried Moana. I haven't slept in days. I know that I can't go much longer without sleep. If I do, I could easily die, but to be honest, I may as well already be dead. There's no guarantee that Moana's going to come out of this alive. Tui and I have been trying to process all of this. How does Moana, the closest friend of the ocean, get blasted by a mysterious force and become a monster? I don't get it. I wish I did, but I don't. So all I can do along with Tui and Maui is stay be her bedside, support her, and pray that she comes out of this.

 Maui's POV

 I hold one of Moana's pale hands in mine. I use my thumb and trace the inside of it gently. I'm just so relieved that Moana's back in her normal form. Though, I am worried that the demon hasn't entirely left her body because from time to time, it glows an ember shade of red. Sina and Tui haven't noticed it because their mortals, but us demigods can sense it instantly. Think of it like x-ray vision if you will. The demon could easily take over Moana again in her currently unstable state. I just pray to God it doesn't. I'm just hoping it's the remnants of it making its way out of her system. 

   I continue to play with her hand for awhile and get lost in my thoughts. I wish I could say those thoughts were pleasant, but I'd be lying like hell. My mental state has gone back to the dark one I had when I isolated myself in the cave on my island for a thousand years. It's funny. I spent so much of my life there, but I never truly felt at home until I came back to Montonui and saw Moana again. Even when Moana and I went to Te Fiti to restore the heart, being on the ocean with her felt so right. Of course, I was too ignorant and stubborn at the time to actually admit that to her. 

    Sitting beside Moana and studying her body, I realize just how much trauma she's been through. Most mortals wouldn't survive such a horrible experience, but Moana's not your average mortal. She's by far the strongest mortal I've ever met and no I'm not saying that out of favoritism, even though she's my favorite. I know deep down in my heart that I will eventually have my baby girl back. 

Hope that you guys liked part of this one shot! :) -Mary
