Wolf and Red Cloak

Chapter 7- Children's Spirits

She stands up and head out. Back to work. She waves goodbye and I do the same, until she disappears and leaves me in the room.

I hate work.

You said it brother.

Audrey's P O V

As I walk out and head into one of the patient's room; holding a yellow file with multiple papers. 

" Caiden Hills? " I inform while opening the door, stepping into the room. A young boy with a bald head and bandage wrapped around his chest and right arm smiles when he sees me.  His older brother next to him, on his left. 

The young boy beams with joy, " Ms. Teddy Bear! " His big brother frowns and looks over to me in confusion. " She's the lady with teddy bears!" , Caiden tried to explain, but his older brother still didn't seem to understand.

I sigh and take out a small bear plushie from one of pockets inside my white coat ,and Caden's eyes seem to have glitter in them when he noticed the toy. He snatches the plushie and hugs it as I rub his messy hair.  " Mr. Snuggles! It's good to see you again!"

" Excuse me, " the big brother began, " but let me get this straight. You're that lady that gave Caiden Mr. Snuggles yesterday?" I nod, and take out my hand. " Dr. Red, at your service." He shakes my hand, " Brian Hills, Caiden's older brother." I snort, " Naive Older brother. "

He chuckles at the lame joke, " sorry. "

"It's fine. It happens." 

"Really?" He scrunches his nose, " Nah." I respond. I stand in an upright position as I hold the yellow file with my arm hugging my hip tightly. " Caiden, how are you feeling?" 
"I'm good! The headache is gone now Mr. Snuggles is here!" 

I smile at the kids' innocence. So does Brian. I lose my smile and take out a thermometer. I stick it in Caiden's mouth and the number grew.  As it stops I read, " 38.0 C" 

Brian lays his palm onto Caiden's forehead and seems convinced. Caiden lays down and his eyes flutter slowly shut. " Ms. ? , " , he began, " will I be ok?" I sigh a big sigh and lock eyes with Brian. I gulp and Brian understood. I know he did because his eyes widened and had tears forming. 

I sit at the edge of Caiden's bed, " Do you remember what happened yesterday?" He responds instantly, " I woke up here and I found a blood tube in my right arm that was wrapped up, ( it still is ) and my chess was purple! I was pretty sure that I was Barney!" I laugh at the memory. 

~~~~~~

Caiden was yelling out, " HOLY COW, I'M THE NEXT BARNEY!? NO, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE AN ORPHAN REJECT."

~~~~~~

" N-no, not that, what happened after that catastrophe." "Oh!"

" In that case, I don't remember." I get confused, " Hold up. What?" He nods, " I don't remember."

I open the file and flip threw the pages, I sigh and look up with my eyes closed. I whisper a curse underneath my breath. I open my eyes and close the file. I put it on a desk next to the bed, and take Brian's hand. I walk out of the room and close the door so Caiden can't hear us. I let go of Brian's hand and turn to him. 

" I'm sorry," I began,

"For what?", he ask, and I gulp.

Ethan's P O V 

I walk down the hall as I hold a yellow sheet of paper with purple butterfly stickers on them. The purple butterfly's represent that the newborn child has died.
