Kate: The long road to recovery

The sun streamed through the window, shining right onto my bedsheets. I opened my eyes just a crack and regretted it immediately. It hurt like Changwing acid,

"Owwww my head," I said covering my eyes,  Sniper crawled up my stomach, his little claws sinking in and out of my stomach. He came up to my face crawled up the side of my head and peered down.

"Hello, I guess you are ready for breakfast?" I said horsly my voice cracking,  I tried to sit up once again, but pain shot down my spine like a burning fire.

"Arggh." I said pushing through the pain, I finally managed to sit up, but I was super dizzy I couldn't figure out which way was which. I glanced around as the world spun in circles, I reached out to clutch the moving bedstand. It wasn't actually there so I fell. Yup, that's right off my bed onto the floor face first. With the little extra fact that the world was still spinning. The nurse came rushing in

"Kate, oh Kate sweetie.  Come on let me help you back in bed." The nurse said sweetly helping me off the floor and propping me up with pillows on the bed. I sniffed and tried not to show any emotion. I felt so useless, and this for me was a new thing. I was used to doing everything on my own without anybody's sympathy or help. But this for me was a whole new level. The nurse prepared for my normal every morning day bandage re do. I was used to the pain now for I have been in the hospital for 3 days straight and today was day 4. The nurse spoke again

"Kate, I know you feel useless, and I know your back story.  How? because your parents and I were close friends and when I heard what happened to both of you guys I felt terrible." The nurse said as she unwrapped my arm.

"I am fine,  I never needed anybody but my dragons. " I said crossly as I added under my breath "nobody cares anyway." The nurse sighed a little and started to put goz on my leg and body.

"Kate, I know what you have been through, and the wounds are still fresh.  You are still healing on the inside.  It takes time and you have to do it in little steps.  Just like with your body Kate, You can't force your body to heal overnight.  These things take time, you could hurt yourself more if you tried and hurried it along.  That wound keeps opening more and more throughout your life. I know it Kate on how you act.  And by your dreams.  At night sometimes you will stir and other nights you will smile and giggle hugging one of your dragons.  One night you mentioned a young boys name, and then that was it.   Kate, these wounds are going to re open all of your life.  Again and Again and Again.  But these wounds will heal over and over again and your heart will continue to beat.  Cling on to dear friends and they will help carry your burdens.  You don't have to carry them on your own." The nurse said wisely as she sat down to prepare my breakfast, I blinked,

"is that what my body language reads?" I thought " and did I really say Aidan's name in a dream. Oh thor thats bad.  The only time I drempt of him was when we had fought Stanly harn and I was relisting to his goofy stories." I smiled at this "He went bald" I laughed out loud. The nurse smiled as she spooned some sort of weird food. After the nurse was done and had gone out of the room, I had planned on training Devil a little more, like come, sit, or stay. Though people had other plans. Rita and the rest of the gang burst through the room all with worried expressions on their faces.

"KATE, why do you do this, every time I turn around you are hurt," Aud exclaimed loudly.

"Shush Aud, Kate is hurt and yelling won't help," Rita said as she came over and hugged me. She cried just a little. Aud rushed after the nurse demanding answers.

"What happened Kate, though I am gonna have to agree with Aud." Aidan said sitting down on a chair, with Rita and Kat and Isla also sitting in other chairs.

"I-I-I had another fight with another family member," I said stroking Devil's fur and not looking at the other's eyes.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyy. Can't you just have a normal life Kate?" Rita said

"I guess not," I replied as Devil flew to Aidan

"Well, I have some news also.  I am afraid to say though." Isla said gazing down

"Ar, is missing," Kat said, I gasped

"Great, I am put in the hospital by Roel, and then a Guardian goes missing.  THIS IS JUST PEACHY." I rasped. Aidan went white

"what is it Aidan?" I asked

, "you fought Roel?"

"Yes, you know him? He is also my Grandpa.  Plot twist." I laughed a raspy laugh.

"Great, just great. I have Canlea and Roel to deal with." Aidan said leaning back in the chair letting out an exasperated sigh

"Who is Canlea?" Isla asked

"Um did I said Canlea.  Oh, just an old girl I knew." Aidan said

"Ohhhh." Isla said smirking

"Isla?!" I said threatingly

"Ok, ok ok I get it I 'll shut up," Isla said. Just then Aud came in saying that she had to go on patrol. I handed Devil to Aidan and told them to all leave and I should come back soon.

"No, No Kate I am staying here. With you." Rita refused

"But, Rita you have a job. I would only get in your way." I said

"Nope Kate not convening me my butt is now glued to this seat," Rita said sitting down.

"Fine. But everybody else go I hate feeling like this." everybody but Rita left.

"Cling onto friends that will stick by your side"  Those words rang through my head. Rita was one of those friends.

Later that day

The nurse came back and told me something new

"OK Kate, today you are going to practice getting your strength back.  You are going to try and walk to your friend and she or I will catch you if you fall." I nodded. I sat up out of bed, the dizziness had stayed away this time. I took a wobbly step forward towards Rita. Rita's hands outstretched, I took a wobbly step and then fell. WHAM! I hit the floor

"So much for catching me." I thought as all those cuts that I said had felt better, no longer feel better. Rita rushed to my side and heaved me up. I held in my tears.

"Its ok Kate, you can do it." She said I tried the second time, wobble, wobble, wobble, WHAM!

"There is a chair there Kate." I thought painfully. Try after try after try and then I got it right and actually made it into Rita's arms. She hugged me

"You did it, Kate, You did it." She said letting me go. I smiled and hobbled around the room slowly gaining my strength back. I could walk and not feel hopeless again.

"Kate, you are ready to be relezied.  I don't wanta see you back here Kate." The nurse said smilling as we walked out. Rita and I walked out of the Hospital, still a little wobbly, towards the clubhouse. On my way there one thing entered my brain

"Stormslicer"
