Chapter 4

Grell woke achy and sore. She didn't feel like moving at all but she had to. She opened her eyes and didn't recognise the room she was in. It was white and tidy. Everything was organised and nothing was out of place. This didn't look anything like her room, for starters there wasn't a hint of red in it. The door opened and William walked in with a tray. He was wearing his blue and white stripy pyjamas. It looked like he had just woken up because his hair wasn't neatly brushed into place. He walked over to her and placed the tray gently on her lap before opening the curtains to the room.

"Good morning Grell, I hope you are doing better" Grell could have sworn there was a bit of emotion in his voice. Emotion Grell had never heard from him. "You have a lot of paperwork to catch up on, so be fast with your breakfast and get ready, I'll walk you to work."
"Get dressed into what?" Grell asked, remembering that her clothes from the previous days were probably torn to shreds and soaked in blood. Will went into the cupboard and pulled out a suit and a red coat. They obviously belonged to Grell.
"If you remember that time when you lived with me for a bit while your house was getting decorated" He laid the clothing on the end of the bed. "You have an hour to get ready." William was tired and yawned before walking out and closing the door.

Grell rushed about, ignoring all the pain that was shooting through her body. She was ready a quarter of an hour early and Will walked down the stairs to meet her. He opened the door and they walked out together. Grell stayed silent throughout most of the walk.
"What is the matter?" William asked, he felt concern for his red haired subordinate. She shook her head in response so Will stopped. "Tell me."
"I-it's just that….Sebastian was only interested in me for my new body. He never liked me before hand and he still hates my personality" Grell teared up.
"The fact that you like that repulsive creature is disturbing. Your personality is what makes you what you are, and I like how you won't change for nobody. If that demon can't see that you were fine before this change then he is a blind fool" William said. Did he really believe this? Or was he just saying it to cheer her up? Either way he said it to her. Grell's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as William spoke.
"You don't really think that" she said and bit her lip.
"I do. You are probably the most entertaining part of my life" William said. This was true. His life consisted of waking up; getting ready for work; going to work; doing mountains of paperwork; overtime; going home; bed; repeat. With Grell there he had something to look forward to.

Ronald came running up with an envelope labelled £25. He was going to pay Will £25 a week for 16 weeks to give him back the full £400. He didn't quite understand why he had to pay Will the money and not Grell, considering that Grell was the reason he was £400 down in the first place, but he was paying none the less.
"Thank you Knox" Will took the envelope off him and put it in his pocket.
"Why are you paying him Ronnie?" Grell asked confused. Ronald shrugged in response.
"Because yesterday he paid £400 to the demon to get you back" Ronald answered, "And so I apparently owe him £400."
"Well if it were to get me back, shouldn't I be paying?" Grell asked William. Will looked at her.
"Can you afford £400?" He questioned. She shook her head in response. "That's why. Knox didn't offer that demon money anything to get you back, he barely even tried. If he had tried a bit harder then he wouldn't owe me another £375. "William explained and walked into the work building.

Grell sat down at her desk. Will was right, she did have a lot of paperwork to get through, however she didn't feel up to it. Her head was hurting, as well as her full body. She felt physically incapable of working. Will walked up to her desk to collect the work she has done, but she didn't look very good. Her skin was pale and she looked very tired. He got concerned and started to think the worst. 'Does she have an STD? What if it's an infection? Is she dying? What do I do?' He asked in his head worrying. After he finished panicking he calmly composed himself and sat next to Grell. He felt her head. It was a bit warm, but not too warm to be concerned about.
"Are you in pain anywhere?" He asked her and she weakly nodded. "Where?"
"Everywhere" She answered. Will stood and picked her up lightly.
"I'm going to get you checked out" He said and carried her to the infirmary.
