You Changed Me ( Jelsa )

Surgery

*Continuing from the chapter "Good Rescue"*

Rapunzel POV

"Rapunzel, I can't do this. I'm not a dang surgeon. And we don't know when my dad will be back," Eritrea says worriedly.

"Eritrea, it's fine. We took two days to plan this out. And your dad will most likely not come here to look for us," I say, trying to reassure her.

I can get the tracker in my arm, I just need you to help me get the tracker by my heart," I say.

She turns the TV on, which she connected to the trackers in my body. It was like a live X-Ray, where you could see my heart pumping, and the tracker near it.

"How the heck did he put it in there?" I ask.

"Rapunzel, you need to drink this," Eritrea says, ignoring my question. "What is it?" I ask. "It's an elixir created by a powerful witch. It has the power of keeping you from dying. Or in other words, bringing you back from death if you die," she explains.

"This is honestly crazy, and you might even die from this if we do it wrong. I want to make sure you don't die, this will prevent that," she informs. I nod, gulping it down.

It tastes terrible.

"Are you sure you're ready to risk everything? Because that's what you're doing," she states. I nod. "I have nothing to loose," I mumble.

I lay on the operating table, and grab the small knife next to me. I look at Eritrea, and she smiles sadly. "It's okay," she whispers. I sigh, looking down. I cut a little part of my arm slightly open where the tracker is.

I scream.

I start shaking as I cut open a little more. "God," I whimper. "It's okay, you almost got it," she says.

I accidentally drop the knife as I continue to shake in pain.

"All you do now is find it inside you and pull it out," she explains. I cry as I stick my other hand in my arm, and search for the tracker. I fall back unto the table in pain, feeling like I'm about to pass out. "I can't... it's too painful," I whisper.

She moves closer to help me out, when suddenly there is a banging on the door.

"Who's in there?! Open up!" voices shout. "Crap!" Eritrea yells. It's probably the soldiers. They found us. She puts on a mask, and ties her hair back. "I have to fight them off Rapunzel, but you need to get the tracker out!" She shouts, grabbing her long blade, and running towards the door.

They break the door down, and she starts trying to hold them off. "Oh God," I mumble. I stick my hand back in there, and let out a loud cry. I finally feel something hard inside my arm, and don't hesitate to yank it out.

It looks like a tiny metal ball, with tiny green and red blinking lights. I throw it on the ground, and it doesn't break obviously.

I look at the TV screen showing my live X-Ray. I need to cut into myself to get that tracker. I would probably die from this, but since I drank that elixir- I will live through it, it will just be unexplainably painful.

"Rapunzel, hurry!" I hear her shout. I grab another knife, and pull my shirt up.

"Um... okay I got this.... just cut any part of the stomach open," I tell myself. Smh, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

A/N : *This scene may be too disturbing for some people to read🥶*

I cut into my abdomen, and begin to scream continuously.

I hear a crack from the window on the left, due to the pitch and loudness of my scream. I throw my head back in pain, but continue to cut. The cut has to be big enough for me to slide my hand in to.

I drop the knife so suddenly, my hands covered in blood. I slowly, and not steadily slip my hands into my gutted stomach. I begin screaming again, hot tears covering my face. Blood was splattered all over me and the operating table.

I begin to push my hand upwards, my hand going through all of my guts. I strain to see the X-Ray, I felt like I was loosing eyesight.

I could suddenly see my hand on the X-Ray, and how it was coming closer to my heart, and also how it was going through my guts, tearing them apart. 

I felt myself start to loose consciousness, I would be going in and out of it. "Rapunzel you HAVE to hurry!" Eritrea shouts again. At this point, my brain has shut off to any other sound, or thing.

"Just one more push and I'm almost there," I whisper. I jerk my hand upwards, a little too hard, because I end up hitting my heart. I scream, falling off the operating table.

I can no longer see the screen, or anything for that matter.

I feel around my heart, and I finally feel the metal tracker. I grab hold of it, and yank it out, along with some other red, bloody things. I know I messed up some organs, and pulled out some guts. I fall flat on my face, and bleed out.

I hear footsteps running towards me. I can't even look up to see who it is.

Eritrea POV

I ended up having to kill thirty soldiers. After I finish, I run back into the operating room, but stop in horror.

Blood. It's like a blood bath. The metal box of knifes and surgical scissors and everything had been knocked off the table, and I see Rapunzel lying face down- looking dead.

"God, Rapunzel!" I shout.

I see two trackers on the floor. She did it. I flip her around, and let's just say it's something I've never seen before. I almost pass out myself seeing how her stomach was cut open, and how parts from inside her were gushing out, along with blood. She looked so pale, and her hair was turning brown.

The elixir has to work. I tried cleaning her up, and managed to stitch her stomach back together.

She was now mostly cleaned up, apart from her clothes which needed to be changed. It was too badly immersed with blood.

I ran to the cabinet to get her a change of clothes.

All this just for a dang escape mission.
