Mini

Wolf*

The next morning, I didn't want to leave the bed. I take a deep breath and close my eyes reluctant to move... I need to get ready.

I climb out of bed and shower. Doc said bright and early... it's not exactly bright yet, but... I can't wait! I make my way to the medical ward. No one is awake yet.

"Hello?" I say as I enter.

"Wow, you are early." Doc says when she sees me. "We're not ready yet... have a seat, and my team will be here in about an hour."

I sit anxiously waiting... in a few hours, I  should be healed!

"You ready, Marie?" Doc asks.

"Yes!" I say jumping up.

"Well, let's get started." She says with a laugh.

Doc leads me to a room where I get ready for the surgery and lay on the bed.

"We are going to put you out for this." Doc says. "Count to ten."

1...2...3...4.......
The last thing I remember is Doc and her crew moving around the table.

"How long before she wakes up?" I hear someone ask.

"Any minute now." Is the reply.

"Mmmmm," I groan, fighting for consciousness.

"Mini!" I hear Xander call to me. "Doc, she's waking up!" I open my eyes.

"How are you feeling, Marie?" Doc asks.

"Fine." I sit up still feeling drowsy."Did you get them all?"

"Sure did!" Doc says. "How do you feel?"

"Sore." I say, laying back.

"You should heal rather quickly now that it's gone." She responds.

"Good!" I smile, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

I feel warmth on my hand. The sparks tell me what it is, and I smile.

"You just gonna lay there grinning, or are you going to open your eyes?" Xander asks.

"Rude!" I say, keeping my eyes closed.

"Come on, get up!" He says, standing up and pulling on my hand. I look at him.

"What?" He says, smiling."You've been asleep for over a day. Let's go for a walk!"

"Fine... but you need to go away so I can get dressed." I say.

"You are dressed." He says.

"Hospital gowns don't count... bye-bye Xander!" I respond.

"Fine." He groans, walking out the door.

I get dressed and wash up in the sink.

"He's hot!"  What the?

"Hello?!" I think

"Well, he is... about time you get rid of that crap! I've been digging around in here, trying desperately to get out!" My wolf says... she's back! My wolf!
