Cold Flames

Chapter 21 : ER

When we arrived in New York, we tracked down the address that Leo had gave us. With some trouble, we realized it was an underground location. We walked down a long corridor that had bright fluorescent lights.

We arrived at the second door on the left. We knocked three times, then two times, and then finally six times, just as the paper described. Someone opened the door, and invited us in. We walked into a room that resembled a lobby of a hospital. We walked up to the receptionist, and told her Leo sent us. Her eyes studied us, lingering alittle on me... probably because of the injuries. Then she smiled.

"Follow me." She said with a soft voice. We followed her down a staircase that led into another place. This place made the place upstairs look like a dump. She led us into a room that had many chemicals and creams. She began getting dressed into gloves and a protective mask. She tied her hair back, and slipped off her jewelry.

"Ok. I'm assuming you are the one that needs to be fixed?" she asked me. I nodded cautiously. "Alrighty. Well could you tell your boyfriend to go wait in the lobby? Can't be here while I fix you up. And depending how bad, its going to be a while." She said cheerfully. I motioned for Vice to go, and he hesitantly obliged.

The woman motioned for the table. I laid down wondering if this was a good idea. It just had to be. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Fiona. Yours?" she said light-heartedly. "Firen." I said uncomfortably. She giggled at my uncomforted reply. "Don't worry. I am a doctor. I'm just a special kind of doctor. Plus I just happen to be Leo's sister." She said trying to lift the mood.

"Could you remove your clothes please?" she said politely. I did as she said, hoping the hickeys Vice made were just about healed. Once done, she stared in amazement.

"Whoa! That's a lot of injuries! Mind me asking how'd ya get'm?" she asked excitedly. "S.V.O." I shortly replied. "Wicked." She whispered. "Never thought they'd have survivors..." she continued in a low tone. She got up and took a tube of green chemicals that resembled the chemicals they had stuck in me back in that mansion.

She poured it in a black cream, and mixed it ferociously. Once thoroughly mixed, she came back to me, and started to rub it on all the injuries. Once she was done, she sat the strange cream beside her. "Okay! Any other types of... pain I should know about?" she asked lightly. I told her about all the things they had done to me. Her face turned serious, as she nodded, signaling that she followed what I was saying.

She went off, and grabbed another test tube of that green stuff again, and mixed with blue chemicals, then A thick, white and creamy substance. She set that mixture to the side, and begun another mixture with a different set of colors. It always included that green substance though.

When she was done, she spread one of the mixtures on a long strap. She wrapped the strap around my neck, and then smoothed it out once completely wrapped. She took another mixture, and started to massage it in my hair. "Wow! Your hair is really soft!" she said amazed. "Uh... Thanks." I said a bit uncomfortably again. She giggled again at my discomfort. The last mixture, that had the white creamy stuff in it, was put in a cup.

She stuck a straw in it, and put it to my mouth. "Drink up!" she said with a smile. I hesitated a moment, but did as she told me. Regardless of how it looked, it tasted quite good. "Taste good, right?" she asked. I laughed a little. She gasped, and smiled. "O M G! You smiled! You're finally warming up to me!" she yelled. She clapped her hands in excitement.

After she was assured she covered all areas, she lead me to a small booth with a seat in the middle. It had walls around it that connected to the ceiling, with a little machine on the outside wall. The machine itself had so many buttons on it. She opened the door, and motioned for me to step inside. "Feel free to make yourself comfortable, and sit on the only chair in there." She said with a laugh. She then closed the door behind me, and the sound of the door closing startled me. Fiona then began typing into the machine. "Mind telling me what kind of fire female you are?" she asked. "Pureblood." I replied loudly, hoping she'd hear me. She continued to type in the machine again.
