Trollhunters: Never Alone

Waking Up

Jim's POV

After leaving my mother before I took her to the hospital to try and cover this all up, I went to check on my sister. So much has happened and I blamed myself for getting the two of them hurt. I shouldn't have dragged either of them into this. When I reached the place where Monica was still healing, I saw Draal was still guarding her. He never left her side.

"Draal, thank you for getting her here and for watching over her while I was helping my mother. I wish I could've been there for the both of them." I said.

"When I was injured during the PyroBligst, she never left my side. In return, I will not leave hers." Draal said. Ever since Draal became Monica's trainer, the two have become close.

"You care for her, don't you." I said staring at my sister's unconscious form.

"Yes, but it feels different. What I'm feeling is the same way how you described your feelings for Claire. Ever since the PyroBligst, I have had these stirrings." Draal confessed.

My eyes widened and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I exclaimed, "You have feelings for my sister?"

"Yes, Trollhunter. I do." Draal stated.

I stared at Draal and at my sister. To be honest, it was strange and I didn't know what my sister felt for Draal. Monica and I don't usually have these kind of discussions, but I have noticed that she has grown fond over Draal and I've also noticed how quick she is to defend him, however, she is like that with those she holds dear to her. Maybe she does have feelings and if she did, I guess I wouldn't be against it, so long as she is happy. I turned to Draal and said, "You have my permission, Draal, but, if you hurt my sister in any way..."

"By my honor and my father's honor, I would never." Draal swore. Pretty soon, Blinky and Aaarrrgghh joined us. All of us had been worried about Monica and we were eager for her to wake up soon. Then, we noticed Monica begin to stir.

Monica's POV

I opened my eyes to see to see my brother, Draal, Blinky, and Aaarrrgghh standing there. What happened? Suddenly, everything came back and I exclaimed, "Jim, is Mom okay?"

"Monica!" Aaarrrgghh exclaimed embracing.

"Welcome back, Monica!" Blinky exclaimed embracing me. Pretty soon all of us were in a group hug.

Jim chuckled, "Yes, and you are going to be fine too. She's is free from the binding spell, but, Mo. There's something else."

"What is it?" I wondered.

"She won't remember anything about us being the Trollhunter and the Wielder. That was the side effect of removing the binding spell." Jim said. I grew frustrated when I heard this. After everything that we just went through, Mom won't remember a thing. Now we have to continue to lie to her.

I looked straight at Jim and said, "Please. Promise me that we'll tell her one day."

"I promise. We will tell her one day." Jim swore. This gave me some relief and I attempted to stand up. There was a dull pain in my right hip from where the wound was inflicted, but my shoulder seemed to have healed. I'm assuming this is because of the work of Vendel.

"It's going to be a couple days before you're fully healed, so make sure to go easy. Vendel was able to speed up the healing process, which would've normally taken weeks if it was to heal on it's own." Jim said.

"Where's Claire and Toby?" I questioned realizing that Claire and Toby weren't here.

"Claire and Toby got caught by Coach Lawrence when getting the unbinding spell from Strickler's office and have to stay at the Spring Fling. It was quite the ordeal when Draal came dashing into Troll market carrying you. He refused to leave your side" Jim explained.
