Chapter 7

            “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

            “You were about the shift in the pack doctor’s office!” I scolded yanking at Brian’s cheeks.

            “Ow!” he hissed pulling away. “Well he did say it almost punctured your lungs.”

            I rolled my eyes and disregarded his comment, but I couldn’t help but run a hand over the thick bandages underneath my shirt.

            Brian had carried me to the pack doctor’s building so quickly I hadn’t even realized he was running. He was almost hysterical, growling at anyone who came near. It wasn’t until I snapped at him that he managed to let me go and place me in one of the rooms. A quick x-ray had showed how bad the break was. Though not horrible, it had supposedly been close.

 The pack doctor had commented saying how if the bone had snapped any further it would have hit my lung and that could have been fatal if I had let it bleed out. Brian almost shifted when the doctor had said that. He was shaking uncontrollably that a few nurses had to forcibly drag him out of the building and keep an eye on him outside.

            “If it had been punctured,” Brian said harshly thinking about what the doctor had said, “I would have killed those two idiots.”

            “They didn’t do it because they wanted to.” I said softly. The doctor had quickly set the bone back in place so by the end of the day everything would have healed as it should and by tomorrow morning, the pain should be completely gone. “Besides, we know who really wanted this to happen to me and we can’t do much with her.”

            “Except feed her to the rogues.”

            “Brian!” I stopped walking for a moment to stare at him, half amused and half shocked. We had taken the long way back to my house from the pack doctor’s building, though we were in the woods alone there was still a chance someone could have heard him. “Stop what if someone hears you.”

            “Let them hear,” Brian huffed angrily, “She’s such a coward, having other people do her dirty work.”

            “Well, she’s always been like that.” I frowned looking around cautiously.

             Though I felt relieved for having the break fixed and no other injuries on me. I felt an even more overwhelming sense of emptiness. At the pack doctor's building I had enough time to tell my mom where I would be the next month. Being drugged and drowzy, I knew she barely heard the words coming out of my mouth before she fell into a deep sleep. As I was leaving, I asked a nurse to tell my mom when she was to awake where I was, but I assumed for the moment that the nurse would have forgotten it by now. I would just have to call my mom eventually and reexplain the situation when she would be more stable minded.

            We continued walking, this time in silence. The night was cool from a North wind sweeping in.

            After a few minutes Brian started the conversation again, “Did you pack?”

            “No, I need to. I guess I’ll do that first thing when I get home. Did you?”

            Brian shrugged, “A bit. I’ve been busy planning the car ride over there.”
