A/N: Hey guys I'm sorry I have not updated in over a month. Real life has been a bitch with loosing my job and finding your boyfriend was cheating. These things can really throw you for a loop. I have been debating on whether to publish this or not. Thank you for being so patient and I have a rough draft of Chapter 4 right now and all mistakes are my own. Enjoy!
Hansel comes too slowly and feeling like his head had gone six rounds at a bar fight and lost terribly. He heard someone snicker and he realized he had said that out loud. He opened his eyes and noticed that he was lying against someone.
"Well hello there Sleeping Beauty. Awake at last I see," said a relived Gretel.
Hansel observed his sister and noticed she looked very stressed out. He started to say something but instead he started coughing and could not stop and began panicking when he could not catch a breath. Black spots danced around his vision and his eyes started to roll into back of his head. He vaguely felt Gretel pull him up higher against her body and could not make out what she was trying to say to him in his ear.
Gretel noticed her brother was panicking and could not breathe so she propped him up higher against her body and began talking to him soothingly hoping he would calm down soon.
"Hansel, Hansel listen to me you need to calm down or you're going to pass out. Come on now silly breathe with me alright. No Hansel you're ok. Please. Please." said Gretel. She was beginning to panic herself because her brother was not calming down. Gretel took a deep breath to calm herself and too clear her thoughts and began to talking to Hansel again.
"Shh, "she whispered softly. "Shh, it's alright Hansel. Listen to my voice brother. Everything is alright now," Gretel said as she was running her fingers soothingly thorough Hansel's hair.
Hansel slowly came back to himself and was listening to his sister comforting him and saying everything was going to be alright.
"Just breathe Hansel," and he does listening to the one voice that he trusts explicitly. Hansel tries opening his eyes again and squints at the sunlight coming through the trees. Gretel is smiling down at him and still running her fingers through his hair in an effect for him to stay calm. She brings a canteen of water to his lips and Hansel realizes he was parched and begins to drink greedily.
"Ok that is enough for now you don't want to get sick do you?" replied Gretel.
Hansel opens his mouth to speak and there is no coughing this time. He also raises his head to notice their surrounds and realizes it's only his sister and himself. "Where are Ben and the big guy, Edward?"
Gretel replies, "I sent them out for supplies and help for you. How are you feeling Hansel? And do not bullshit me, I want the truth. You have a fever and are in and out of consciousness. You're pale and shaky and black and blue from all the fighting."
"Well Gretel I think you just about covered it. Any more fucking details I should about how I'm feeling," replied Hansel harshly.
"Watch your fucking tone brother dear, I'm only concerned about your well-being and we both from past experiences you are not forth coming at all when it comes to injury. And I want to know why your injection did not seem to work." Gretel angrily replied and quickly turned around to calm her nerves and hastily wiped the tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and turned to face her brother.
"I'm sorry that my anger got the better of me. It's just seeing you fall to the ground, I felt helpless Hansel. I don't like feeling like that. I know we brush off talking about feeling and what not but you scared me." Gretel stated flatly.
Hansel looked at his sister taken aback because she was right they didn't. "I'm sorry sis. As far as the injection I honestly think there just wasn't enough in the vial. I did get thrown around a lot by the bitch."
