I'm Stuck in a House Full of Girls!

Chapter 9: The Aftermath

"Mmm…"

The Leafeon woke up and opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling, she soon noticed that she was lying on a white comfortable bed. She slowly lifted herself up and noticed there was a bandage rolled up on the back of her head.

"Hey Sis! You're finally awake!" Lily quickly turned her attention towards the Glaceon who quickly leapt towards her and gave her a big hug.

"Ow, ow, ow!" The Leafeon felt an uncomfortable burning sensation on her neck that were wrapped in bandages when Gloria pressed her arms around it to hug her sister as Lily quickly pushed her away.

"Oh, I'm sorry… I completely forgot about that."

"Where am I?"

"You're at the Alkia Hospital silly, you've hit your head pretty hard and you've been unconscious since yesterday."

"Yesterday…" Lily was in deep of thoughts and then remembered that tragic incident.

"W-where's Lucas? Is he okay?" Lily quickly grasped her hands on Gloria's shoulders, looking serious all of the sudden.

"Umm…" Gloria looked down and seemed to tremble a bit.

"What?! What happened to him?!" Lily shouted at her and tightened grip on her shoulders.

"Sis, you're hurting me!" Gloria shrieked in pain as Lily realized and quickly let go while the Glaceon quickly rubbed her shoulders in pain.

"I-I'm sorry, truly I am." Lily looked down in embarrassment.

"Its okay sis, I forgive you." Gloria placed her hand on her sister's head.

"So what happened to Lucas?" Lily asked and held her hand tightly.

"About Lucas…" Gloria seemed to tremble again.

"The doctors said that he had first-degree burns on some parts of his neck, two broken ribs along with second-degree burns on his left torso… And since he's a steel-type, second-degree burns needed to get treated right away or else it would never heal anymore…" Gloria began to cry while Lily quickly hugged her to comfort her; she too slowly formed tears from her eyes.

'All of this happened to him… is because of me…'

Few minutes have passed as Gloria and Lily seemed to calm down a bit, they released the hug and wept their tears.

"So where is he?" Lily asked.

"They're operating on him right now."

"I-I see…"

"Flannery, Vanessa, Esper and Umber are on their way. I have been with you the whole night." Gloria said and gave a big yawn.

"You mean you didn't sleep at all?" Lily opened her eyes in surprise.

"Nope, I was too worried about you that I couldn't even think of sleep." Gloria rubbed her eyes and smiled at her.

"Thank you…"

"You're *yawn* welcome."

Then, the two were interrupted as they heard knocks from the door as it opened and revealed the four sisters, all happy to see the Leafeon awake.

"Lily, you're okay!" "I thought you'd never wake up!" Vanessa and Flannery both leapt towards the shocked Leafeon while Gloria barely moved out of the way before getting crushed by the weight of the two, Lily, however, was not so lucky.

"C-can't breathe… Get off!" Lily gasped for air as the two continued to hug her tightly until the Espeon waved her hands and then a bright purple glow formed from the Flareon and Vaporeon's bodies and were lifted to the air.
