Chapter Seven: Medical Help

-Seven-

-Dani-

I woke up when someone moved me into a different area. I opened my eyes to find the blonde haired man.

"Calm down, girl. We're getting you two help. Ed's in worse shape than you right now." He said as he picked me up carefully.

I coughed, "Will he be alright?"

I looked around but jostled my shoulder. The bolt of pain was so immense I tought I'd black out.

"I don't know. My name is Heckle. We're going upstairs now." He said as we walked behind the gorilla man.

I nodded weakly and tried to stop shivering. Once we got up the stairs gorilla man knocked on a door in which an elderly woman opened the door.

"We're closed. No after hours unless it's dire emergency." She snapped.

I coughed and Ed stirred slightly. She looked at Ed then me and sighed.

"Bring them in. My husband and his friend with take the boy and I'll take the girl." She said and moved.

Gorilla man went inside the apartment first and then Heckle. He followed the woman and set me down on a bed fitted for surgery.

I winced and tried taking my jacket off. The woman slapped my hand away and took it off for me. She unwrapped my scarf and took my gloves off.

"Men, leave the girl and me." She said and Heckle left.

She closed the curtain and cut my shirt off. I was forced back onto the bed.

"What happened?" She asked softer.

I coughed, "A wooden beam fell and peirced my shoulder through and through. I think my shoulder blade is broken."

She nodded and put an apron on.

"You wnt to be awake for this?" She asked.

I nodded, "I can handle the pain."

The woman tutted and cut open my wound. I bit my lip hard as she cleaned me up and pieced my bones back together. I screamed once as she snapped my shoulder blade into place then again as she moved the rest of my bones back. She stitched up her work and stripped off her bloody gloves and apron. I waited and she forced me up. She wrapped the bandage tightly around my shoulder and chest. I was about to get off and stand when she glared.

"Am I allowed to move?" I asked weakly.

"No. You have fever and are now healing. I will have strong man bring you to recovery." She said stubbornly and glared.

I sat there and waited until Heckle came back and picked me up. He followed the woman again and set me under the blankets of a bed. He tucked me in and left. I looked to my right to find another empty bed. I hope Ed'll be alright...

The woman came back in and put an IV into my arm. She connected it to a blood bag and antibiotics. I leaned back and coughed.

"Feel better, girl." She said before leaving.

I was off in la la land when someone came in. This time Ed was being wheeled in on a stretcher and had a bandage wrapped around his torso.

"Ed!" I exclaimed and started sitting up.

My shoulder protested and I laid down softly and reached my hand out as far as I could. Darius, as I learned, moved our beds closer together and I grabbed Ed's hand.

"Thank you." I murmured softly before drifting off.
