Deadly Eyes - Swanqueen

Part 4

I had no idea what was going on, I heard Regina shouting from outside the room, I heard my name mentioned a few times, but it was mainly muffled noises. I was currently getting seen to by the doctor, the pain was starting to become unbearable again, he must of noticed as he stuck a needle in my arm, the pain I was feeling almost immediately disappeared but made me very tired suddenly.

"what is wrong with her" I heard Regina say

"I gave her some pain relief, these injuries are quite bad she really should go to the hospital" he sounded scared, his voice was trembling

"that can not happen, no one can know she is here" the doctor went to say something but she cut him off "do I make myself clear?"

"y-yes of course" I opened my eyes to see him rummaging around in his bag "she needs to take these 4 times a day, she also needs her bandages on her back changed and cleaned twice daily, as for her other injuries they will heal fine, they seemed to be healing nicely since she was here a few days ago" oh so he must have been the one to put the cast on my leg.

"fine, I expect you back here tomorrow. Same time" with that I heard him agree then scurry out the room

I closed my eyes again when they started to become painful to keep open. I felt my hair get moved from my face slowly "why didn't I know it was you" I heard Regina whisper, all I could do was hum in response before sleep took over.

...

I jolted up in pain when I suddenly felt bandages getting removed from my back

"shh its OK Emma, I am just cleaning your back" I am sure that was Ruby's voice, I could still hardly keep my eyes open, I was so tired I felt like I had no strength left in me. Sleep took over again.

...

I felt my body lift up slowly, I opened my eyes and noticed a glass of water in front of me that Ruby was holding "you need to take this Emma, it will help with the pain" I could hardly lift my arm up but when I did Ruby had to quickly grab the glass back as it started to fall out of my hands, I felt so weak. Ruby placed the tablets in my mouth and brought the glass to my lips, I struggled to swallow but when I did, I again couldn't keep my eyes open, just before they closed I am sure I saw someone sat in the corner of the room

...

I opened my eyes to bright light, I squinted my eyes shut quickly due to the sharp pain from the light

"fuck sake, take the light away from her eyes, can't you see its hurting her" my heart sped up at her voice, I haven't seen or heard from her in a week. I have been in and out of consciousness that I haven't stayed awake for more than 10 minutes at a time, Ruby and the doctor have been the only two people I've seen.

"s-sorry" still scared as ever I assumed, he cleared his throat and began talking to her about my recovery, I was still sleepy so I didn't really try and keep notice to what he was saying

"so we do not need you to come anymore" why was her voice to the only voice I choose to take notice of. I opened my eyes and saw her stood next to the bed, hovering over the doctors back

"no, she will be just fine, continue with her tablets and keep her back clean. The lacerations have healed and closed up well. I have every confidence that they will remain closed" he stood up and walked out of the room.

Regina stood there with her back to me looking at the closed door, I wanted to reach out to her, I couldn't help but feel this pull towards her. I lifted my hand towards her own, as I was about to touch her hand she turned around towards me, ultimately moving her hand away, she looked towards my hand that had fallen to the bed then towards my eyes, she raised her eyebrow at me but did not speak.
