Me: Sorry this took so long. Became more busy than I thought this year. That and a few other things, but here is the next chapter of Battle Scars!
Fiona: What is this chapter about anyway?
Me: 'Pats Fiona's shoulder' All will be explained in due time.
Fiona: 'Rolls her eyes'
Me: 'Looks around'...Wait...Where's Lillian?
Fiona: I think she had to do something.
Me: Oh...'shrugs' Oh well. On with the fanfic!
"Where is she?"
"In my room!" Fiona literally kicked the doors of her room open, allowing easy access for her and Lillian to run in. What the Queen saw when she entered the room made her eyes grow wide in horror.
Leah was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. One shaky hand, covered in blood, was over her chest, trying to stop the bleeding. She was looking at the ceiling with her eyes closed and her breathing was short and constricted.
"Oh My God!" Lillian knelt in front of Leah's body, ignoring the blood that was soaking through her dress, and began to rip Leah's shirt open. "What happened?"
"I...I don't know. Leah staggered into my room covered in blood while holding her chest," Fiona said in panic. "I asked...I asked her-her what happened, but she couldn't respond."
Lilian calmly told her daughter to go get the medical kit as she ripped the rest of Leah's shirt off, examining the blood-covered gash. Thankfully, through thorough examination, the wound wasn't that deep to where it punctured any vital organs. However, with Lillian's knowledge of deep lacerated wounds on the body, if Leah's wound was not treated, she could bleed to death. Fiona ran back with the medical equipment as Lillian took a white cloth and put it on Leah's chest in order to stop the bleeding. As Lillian was doing that, from the corner of her eye, she saw something.
She wasn't sure what it was, but something was telling her to find out.
"Fiona, take this cloth and keep it on Leah's chest," Lillian ordered.
"O-Okay." Fiona did what her mother ordered as Lillian stood up and walked to where she saw what she did.
"Keep a good amount of pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding." In the corner of Fiona's floor, next to the balcony, Lillian found a blood-covered dagger.
She slowly knelt down and picked up the dagger, examining it. Her eyes widened when she recognized the black hilt and the 3 inch blade.
It was a Push Dagger.
Lillian began to wonder why there was a dagger in Fiona's room, and why it was in the corner the way it was, when her thoughts were interrupted by Leah harshly coughing. She turned and saw blood and saliva leave Leah's mouth and hit her stomach, chest, and the floor. Blood also began come out of her nose and run down into either her mouth, or down her cheek and drip down her chin. Her coughing fit ended, leaving her in such pain that tears were running down her face.
"M-Mom, will Leah be okay? Her...her breathing is faint!" Fiona's voice was wavy and filled with fear.
Lillian put the dagger under her long dress as she wiped up the blood with her dress, running to where Fiona was still holding the cloth against Leah's wound.
"Don't worry. Leah will be okay," Lillian reassured her daughter, taking over. "I just need to clean and stitch up the wound. I need your help in order for that to happen, okay?"
Fiona nodded, tears running down her face. Lillian saw how scared Fiona was a gave her a reassured smile. "Everything will be okay, dear. We just need to do this calmly and quickly before the blood flows into her lungs."
"O...Okay," Fiona managed to say, wiping her eyes.
Fiona: Huh. A bit bloody, but pretty good.
Me: This came out pretty good. Not happy about a few things here and there, but it will have to do.
Lillian: At least it's a working progress.
Me: 'Looks over to see Lillian' How did you get here in my room?
Lillian: The door was open.
Me:...I need to close my door more often. T_T
Lillian: Isn't the blood a bit much, though?
Me: Not really. It's a T rated story so their is going to be realistic..ish situations and blood will be mentioned.
Lillian: Fair enough I suppose. Just don't make it too weird or gross.
Me: I make no promises, but with this chapter, it won't since you're in it mostly.
Lillian: 'Smiling at her being in the story'
Fiona: Hey! What about me?
Me: Oh don't worry. I'm working on a story that has you in it.
Fiona: Ya damn right!
Me: 'Rolls eyes'
