Enchantress of the 1800s

Chapter 3- Beast in the woods

Nora Pov

I woke to my head throbbing as if I'd collided it into a wall. Rubbing the crust that seems to build up over the time I've been asleep.
My body felt drained of all will to get on with the day, my arms felt strained and my legs felt weak as if I were to stand up they would buckle from beneath me because of exhaustion.

I lay there taking in all the unfamiliarities of the room. The walls were coloured a plain white with a clock hanging near the dark oak door, the room looked much like a hospital, with a needle sticking out of my arm. The distinctive smell of cleaning liquids filled the air, not a pleasant smell but it was tolerable.

I didn't even realise exhaustion was taking over my body, welcoming me into a dreamless bliss until my heavy eyelids slowly closed.

I was awoken for the second time by light chatting, it was more of a soft mumbling of two parties at first. Their conversation got more auditable as I'm more in control of my senses.

" She'll be fine, there are no signs of penetration but she's just a little traumatized by the situation," said an unfamiliar feminine voice.

" Thank god, if something had happened to her, I  wouldn't be able to marry her off. " the other voice responded sounding much like my mother.

I mentally rolled my eyes, even when I'm in such a condition she still thinks of marrying me off to some rich idiot.

I slowly sat up on the bed, which got the attention of the two females in the room.
The lady in the white coat rushed over to help adjust the pillows as mother poured a glass of water from a nearby container.

"My name is Dr. Shania Renoir,  How are you feeling Lady Nora?" she inquired after introducing herself.

Mother placed the glass at my lips as a jester to drink. I obeyed I didn't even realise how parched my throat really was, I drank the water in big gulps, not very ladylike at all.

" I feel much better than the first time I woke." I said.

" Good, but we will have to keep you one more day just in case my lady. " she said while taking my temperature and blood pressure.

"My poor baby, I need to know the rotten tomato that tried to lay their slimy hands on you. " My mother said anger and a slit bit of harshness could be felt in her voice.

My mother wasn't much of the violent type, in all honesty, she'd leave all that dirty work for father to do.

As she would put it 'he's the man of the house, he's supposed to protect her and their child'

" I would rather not talk about it right now mother. " I said politely.

How did I even get here, the last thing I remember was being with someone before I was unconscious.

" how did I even get here. " I asked looking around the room once more.

The only difference the room had was it was dark out now.

"Lord Michael checked you in, he called your parent to inform them of your condition," Doctor Renoir said checking the beeping machine that's connected to my arm.

Michael

"I'm a werewolf " he literally said he's half man, half wolf. I knew deep down that something was off about him I just didn't know what, should I warn mother about him or keep his little secret?

"Are you okay dear, you look a little pale" mother intruded in the middle of my thinking, placing her hands on both sides of my cheek.

" I-I... I'm fine, it's just that yesterday wasn't one of my best days. " I said giving her a small smile to seal the deal.
