Damaged

Chapter 29

Sorry I haven't uploaded but I haven't had the best week. Hope these chapters make up for it!

I don't know when exactly I passed out.. But I knew I had passed out when I opened my eyes and they were heavier then usual. My vision was blurred so I winked a couple of times before I could finally see the white ceiling clearly. I tried to turn my head but a sudden pain went through my head and I winced "Don't move." Dr. Ross ordered adjusting the bed so I could see her "You hit your head pretty hard." She explained examining it.

I groaned and closed my eyes as my head was pounding "I will give you pain killers now that you're up." She assured standing and stepping out of my view. I heard shuffling and drawers opening and closing before she came back and placed two pills in my hand before turning and grabbing a cup pouring some water into it.

I placed the pills in my mouth and grabbed the cup from her hand and swallowing it down. Dr. Ross nodded and gave me a sad expression "I will tell everyone they can come in now. Are you ready for that?" She asked.

I nodded and soon came in Clara, Marshall, April, Ian and Valerie. I smiled at them as they all were considerate enough to maintain their voices low. I felt as though with any sound my head would explode. My eyes wandered and I gave everyone a confused expression "Where is Rayne?" I asked all of them tensing as they looked at each other.

Something was wrong, he would be the first one here. I felt myself start to panic as my eyes scattered around the room "Tell me." I demanded April looking over at Clara as she nodded "Rayne killed Potter... He is being held till further notice for killing a council member." April informed my heart nearly stopping. A council member? Potter was a council member? But what had me more in a daze... Was that Rayne actually killed him.

I heard he was violent and unmerciful but, murder? Was he really capable of something so... Cruel? All these questions ran through my head and and Valerie quickly came to my side "Luna he did it to protect you. The whole pack knows this." Valerie assured but that wasn't what I needed assuring of. Rayne was a killer... I was sleeping beside a killer...

Marshall read my mind as he moved past Clara that was to the left of me as Valerie held my right hand on the other side of the bed "I hate Rayne, and I would have jumped at this chance to tell you that he is a killer..." He trailed off and shook his head "But, Potter hurt you Sierra. You have to understand he acted on impulse and wanted to protect you." Marshall explained but everything he said was tuned out as I remembered his dark black eyes as he held Potter by the throat.

What caught my attention now that caused fear to erupt through me, was the small smirk he had on his lips while doing so. I felt my eyes water but refused to cry "Sierra you have to understand." April urged but I just couldn't, at least not right now. I couldn't process all of this right now I just couldn't believe it.

I stopped speaking after that and eventually Dr. Ross told them they should leave to let me rest "You shouldn't be too hard on Rayne, or your friends and family Sierra. You need them and they need you." She reminded. I let out a breath as I just closed my eyes and drifted off. What was I going to do? I am to sleep beside a murderer... A unmerciful monster... I was surprised as in the depth of my negative thoughts of Rayne I could still see the good times.

The way he held me and rocked me after a nightmare, the way he always kissed my forehead... He was a monster. That I can't deny... But with me he showed his true side, his soft romantic side. He care, deep down inside his hollow heart he cared and loved. It would just take me time before I could try to change his temper and violent streaks.

Hopefully I could do it... and not be afraid of him throughout the process. I felt guilty as the feelings of fear and regret faded away.. How could I say he was a killer? Or be afraid of him. He cared about me and it was all that mattered. I still had hope...
