Even if we fight forever

Chapter 12

"You heard the lady, there are blood bags in the lab refrigerator."

T'Challa looks at Shuri in disbelief. "Don't worry I have good control. She is safe with me."

He smiles at my comment. "I'll be back with your drink."

"Sorry for barging in but I just wanted to tell you that he is stable. We stopped the bleeding and bandaged up the shoulder. We can't replace the arm at this time the tissue is too damaged and the bloodloss was too great."

I look at the rectangle I placed down beside the basin. "Where is he now?"

" He is in the recovery room, asleep. "

" Shuri, I can't thank you enough."

" You are most welcome. Would you like me to have a look at you."

"It's not needed. As soon as I have the blood I'll be 100%."

"Okay then." T'Challa enters the room with two blood bags in hand. "I'll leave you to it then."

"I hope it's enough."

"It is for now. Thank you."

They leave the room and I walk to the door, close it and lock. I need some privacy now.

I place the video feed on the bedside table together with the blood bags and lay down on the bed. I take one blood bag from the bedside table and place it against my lips and bite in.

The liquid flows down my throat. It feels like silk and very satisfying. I can feel myself calm down immediately.

I place the empty bag down beside me, close my eyes and savour the taste in my mouth. I get up from the bed and move over to the shower. I turn the shower on. I take the blood covered clothes off and toss it into the bath.

I get into the shower and watch the blood puddle at my feet. I start washing the blood off my body. I let the water run over my body.

I turn the water off and get out. I wrap the towel around me and walk into the room. I pick up the clothes when my eye catches something on the feed.

Bucky's hand is moving. I quickly dress and run out the room toward the lab. I open the doors to the lab and walk through.

Shuri turns around. "Over here."

I follow her to the recovery room. She holds the door open for me and motions me to enter. Upon entering I saw Bucky connected to monitors and a drip. I walk over to his side and stand there watching him.

A tear runs down my cheek. I hate seeing him like this. I place my hands over my face and started crying frantically.

"Sarah?" A voice of an angel.

I move my hands and open my eyes to see Bucky's looking at me. "Shh, love don't speak."

He moves his fingers and I take his hand. His fingers grip mine as hard as he could. "Don't leave..."

"I'm not going anywhere."

He moves a bit to the left side of the bed and I get onto the bed next to him. I can feel my eyes getting heavy and I slowly drift off to sleep.
