Alice

The Nature of Esmeralda

Mike had lost a large amount of blood from his multiple wounds. Alice was no more but her defense mechanism had played wonders in protecting her against unwanted people.

Meanwhile, Mike had transformed into a legume. He didn't answer nor smile. Only some humming could be heard coming from his mouth.

"Why are you so blend, Mike? Let me take care of you."

Livia came near and sat next to Mike. She looked at his wounds closely and realized that he needed medical assistance quickly.

Mike life was at risk if she didn't act immediately. The alpha guardsmen are given a mixture of different chemically transformed elements to help them in their task.

Those chemicals are to reduce any sort of infection, swelling, inflammation of fighting injuries along with the instant cover up of open scars. Something was wrong with Mike though, as his wound wouldn't close up or at least diminish. The flow of blood from his system was uninterrupted.

"Mike! Have you miss your monthly injection?"

He hummed, "Uhm." While being totally knocked out, mind lost in the stars.

"You're of no help Mike, Aren't you?" she sighed.

"Why do I care for you that much when you don't give a damn about me."

She stood up and helped the latter to get up. She brought him to the bathroom and sat him on the toilette lid. She ran back to the sink and looked for the medical kit but then remembered that there were none here.

She shuffled through her memory and recalled about one in the king's room. She wondered whether the domestic moved it. The only way to find out was to get there. Time was counting and she had to act very quickly to prevent Mike from losing an excessive amount of blood.

Livia took a handful of water and went to Mike. She washed his face and cleansed the blood from his mouth, "See, you're way cuter when you don't have cry."

"Umm." Mike nodded.

She helped him to stand up and passed his hand over her shoulder. Livia paused at the sink and took another scoop of water and compressed it against Mike's forehead in an attempt to reduce his increasing temperature.

Mike was about to get into thermal shock if his temperature didn't decrease rapidly.

Livia told Mike hurriedly, "Let's go babe, we have already got one casualty today. I don't want to lose you this time. You're very strong and you can overcome your sorrows while I am not. So I am not losing you, I will sew your open wounds. Let's go immediately."

She got out of the bathroom as quickly as possible with Mike totally leaned on her. She hurried towards the royal residence and sat Mike on the giant bed. Traces of blood longed the floor from the balcony to the royal chamber.

Stains of blood could be seen on the wall towards the room. The cleaners would be furious the following morning when they found out. It wasn't of great importance as Mike's case was very concerning.

In fact the latter would dozed on and off repeatedly. He was in a state of unconsciousness, almost euphoric. Livia was trained to be amongst the elite back on the training ground. She was very well verse in the field of medicine and stealth.

She grabbed the med kit from the cupboard and laid her materials on the bed. She took out some cotton and a weird white cloth then sanitize everything with some betadine.

She dialed a number on her phone and put the loudspeaker. While she prepared her tweezers and needles.

Somebody answered the phone but didn't care to greet her, "Identification?"
