Thiam ~ Everything Has Changed

chapter 4

The room was filled with heavy pants. Theo sat on the operating table, griping the metal so hard, he almost left his handprint on it.
A loud yelp escaped his mouth when Dr. Deaton hold the little flamethrower on his wound.
It hurt like shit.

Theo lost control over himself. His claws came out of his fingertifs, his fangs grew and his eyes turned a pircing yellow.

The only thing that had ever hurt this much was when the Dread Doctors had cut open his chest and replaced his own heart with his sister's. Or when he was dragged to hell by Tara and got his heart ripped out multiple times.

After the wound was burnt out he laid  down on the table, panting hard, sweating and trying to calm down a little.
Now his blood needed to get rid of the wolfsbane that still remained in his body.
He needed to be bled out.

Deaton sliced his wrist with a very accurate cut and led the blood drop down in a bucket.
Theo's mouth escaped a loud yelp. He was clearly struggling with the pain that comes with the process.

Liam stood by his side all the time, never taking his eyes off of the other boy.

A few months earlier the sight of Theo being hurt and almost dying would had made him more than happy but right now it made him feel sick.
He didn't want the chimaera to die, not anymore.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked just so he wouldn't have to deal with this uncomfortable silence.

"Do I look okay to you?" The older boy asked back, obviously trying not to sound as hurt as he was.

"Not really." The beta murmured under his breath.
He reached forward, trying to grip one of Theo's hands but the chimaera pulled his hand back and glared at Liam.

"Don't!" Was the only thing he said. His voice was shaking and his body was aching.

"Let me take some of your pain. You will feel better." Liam offered.

"No. I deserve this." Theo replied.
"It won't need that much more time until my body begins to heal again, you'll see."

"Whatever you say. I'll wait here." The blue-eyed said, not wanting to discuss this any further because he knew he would  loose an argument with Theo anyways. He sat down on the counter on the right side of the room, watching the older boy suffer from pain.

Some time passed and Theo's body got almost completely rid of the wolfsbane.
You could see how his wounds started to heal slowly and how he didn't seem to be in so much pain like he was half an hour ago.

The vet came back into the room and saw how good Theo's body had recovered. "I am impressed. I didn't thought you would heal at all." He admitted.

"It wouldn't have killed me, you know that as well as I do. But thanks Doc, not having to deal with this pain every day is kind of a relife. I'll try not to come back here anytime soon." Theo promised. "Let's get back to your home, Liam. I could need some sleep."

Liam nodded and followed the older boy out of the clinic, thanking the doctor for helping.

When they reached the Dunbar house, they headed straight to bed, only saying a short good night to each other.

The next morning Theo woke up early. He got downstairs in the kitchen and purred himself a cup of coffee. He waited again for Liam to wake up.

An hour later the other werwolf woke up too and joined Theo down in the living room. They sat their in an awkward silence. Just like the day before.
