My Guardian Demon

Chapter 55: I would never leave you.

My eyes fluttered open. I looked around to see I was lay in a hospital room, the beeping of the monitors to my side. The walls were a crisp white, with light blue curtains that were currently closed. The last thing I remembered was the pain from the blade that sliced through my stomach.

I placed my shaking hand onto my bump but there was nothing, it was flat, little bumps lay on my skin which I'm assuming is a scar. Please don't tell me I lost Elijah. When I looked around the room the second time I noticed a figure crouched on one of the chairs, lightly snoring and their head lay on the bed with their hair stuck up in different directions.

It was Austin.

Another figure was lay face down on the couch across the room, their arm on the floor, and one of their legs stuck in corner of the chair. That definitely didn't look comfortable.

"Austin," I croaked.

 My throat felt like sandpaper.

He lifted his head up and winced at the possible whiplash, his hand started rubbing the back of his neck as he faced me. Quickly standing up to take my hand, his calloused fingers stroking my skin as tears started to fall, a happy smile spread across his face as he hugged me gently.

"Thank god you're awake, I thought I lost you little Rae," I could feel his body shake.

My arms latched onto him behind his back, his familiar scent hitting my nose making me take a deep breath and sigh into his shoulder. As he kissed my head, the other person started tossing and turning till they slipped off the couch into a heap on the floor.

"Fucking hospital couches, crap hospital food. You'd think they would give us a god damn bed or at least a pullup couch, it's been mon... Athena."

I was smiling as Lewis gazed over at me, his eyes widening as well as his mouth. He looked like a deer caught in headlights. Austin took a step back as Lewis ran over to me and practically jumped on the bed engulfing me in a massive hug. Luckily he was careful and managed not to hurt me.

"I've missed you," He whispered into my ear.

"I mi.." My throat felt like it was on fire, words failing to come out.

Austin quickly poured a cup of water and gently placed it near my lips. I took a few sips and nodded for him to pull it away.

"Is Elijah okay?" I looked at both of them as they stood there with their arms crossed.

They looked at one another and then my brother turned towards me, the corner of his lip lifting, "He's fine little Rae."

"Well, where is he, my bumps gone which means something went wrong..."

"Athena, you've been in a coma for six months," I gasped. Breathing suddenly became hard.

What has been going on for the past year then and where on earth is my son.  My scar was so uncomfortable as I tried to sit up properly but Lewis tried pushing me back down and moving my pillow up.

"You need to be careful Rae, you've been through a lot." 

"If I've been in a coma for six months then where the hell is my baby?" I rose my voice becoming fed up, all I wanted was answers.

"He's with Nathanial, we haven't seen them in months. We were told that you'd only have a ten percent chance of waking up and he couldn't bare to see you lying in this hospital bed possibly dying and this isn't really the place for a baby. Elijah managed to survive the attack due to being part angel, if he were human then he wouldn't have a chance. Elijah arrived by c-section, earlier than most babies due to the speed he grew. We even had to have angels sort some stuff out cause we couldn't exactly tell the doctors why..."
