Chapter seven:

The Mad King is working on his queen who he had laid down on the couch once they managed to get to their home to hide away for now. He doubts that any hospitals here will take him in because of who he is. He finishes bandaging the others leg as best as he can then with one hand on either side of his queen's body resting on the couch he looks to the others face.

The Mad Queen is unconscious making the Mad King worry even more.

"I'll get you help." The Mad King coos gently as he brushes a strand of soft raven hair out of his queens face. "I promise." He leans down planting a gentle kiss to his cheek only to pull back. He hurriedly begins packing all of their stuff knowing that they won't be able to stay in the city anymore. He knows that they'd be recognized easily and make going out not worth it.

They don't need that right now… Not while the Mad Queen is healing.

The Mad King gets all of their stuff into the van parked in the garage then he hurriedly grabs the Mad Queen. He places the other into the passenger seat making sure to put the seatbelt on. He closes the door once done then hurries to the drivers side hoping inside. He begins driving away as soon as he is ready and he hurries out of the city. He has an idea of where they can go since there is a town that is about half an hour outside of the city. "Just hold on." He tells his queen as he is taking them to the town knowing that they won't have any problems getting medical treatment there. He arrives and first takes his queen to the first hospital that he finds.

The nurses and doctors rush the Mad Queen inside as fast as possible.

The Mad King hopes that everything will be alright as he refuses to sit while waiting for news on his queen.

Mogar groans softly as he begins to awaken and he blinks his eyes open. He sees things as rather blurry at first then his sight comes back to how it was before. He isn't sure about the medical smell around him but he tries to ignore it. He turns his head to look around finding himself in a hospital room and he notices Hilda sitting in a chair looking down at something.

Hilda looks up feeling someone watching her then springs to her feet when she sees that Mogar is awake. "You're awake." She moves closer to him until she is next to his bed. "We got worried when we heard that you suddenly collapsed in the hospital here. But your wounds got healed and you'll survive."

"Vav?" Mogar questions.

"The doctors did all they could. It's a little too early to truly tell but the doctors think that he should be able to survive if he puts up a big enough fight." Hilda explains. "That last attack that hit him not only broke some of his ribs but also punctured his skin in his neck and torso mainly."

"Mogar see Vav." Mogar insists trying to sit up.

Hilda places her hands on his shoulders. "Don't get up. You need to heal still." She tells him. "Once you're doing a little better then we can go see Vav okay?"

Mogar meets her eyes and she can instantly tell that Mogar will not let anything stand in his way of making sure his friend is okay in person.

Hilda sighs softly. "Okay." She agrees. "Let me get a doctor first." She steps out of the room finding a doctor right away. "Mogar is awake. He wants to see Vav and there is no changing his mind."

The doctor nods. "I'll take a look at what we can do." He responds and follows Hilda back into the room.

Mogar is sitting up and is looking at the things hooked up to him. He turns as the doctor and Hilda approach him only for the doctor to check a few things.

"Well." The doctor says once done. "We can remove some of these and you'll need to take a wheeling stand to hold the blood bag. It is better for you to still have that." He then helps Mogar remove what can be removed then makes sure that everything else that is mainly two medical bags are hooked to the stand with wheels.

The two bags are that of one with blood and the other some clear fluid to help Mogar heal that is usually seen on some patients in a hospital.

Mogar walks with the doctor and Hilda, Hilda is nice enough to help wheel the stand by holding it following close to Mogar, as they head to Vav's room.

They make it and go inside finding Rusty sitting in a chair inside and he turns to the three as they enter.

"Good to see you're doing better." Rusty greets.

Mogar nods then heads over to Vav where he looks at the other. He can see the bandages covering the wounds making him sure that Vav can now truly heal. He turns to look to the other three in the room. "Mogars mother. Bring Mogars mother." He says gaining a few confused looks. "Mogars mother milk special." He explains.

"So it'll help Vav." Hilda says and Mogar nods. "Okay. I'll go to the forest and see what I can do." She hurries away and Mogar turns back to Vav.

The doctor steps out to wait for Hilda to come back with Mogars mother.

The Mad King turns as a doctor approaches him. "How is he?" He asks.

The doctor smiles. "He'll live." He says. "He might have a little problem with his leg for a while but it should heal okay."

"Any lasting damage?" The Mad King asks.

"There might be a few cramps every now and again but other than that just some scarring." The doctor informs him.

"Can I see him?" The Mad King asks in which the doctor nods.

"He'll still be asleep. We had to keep him under while we worked on him." The doctor explains.

"Okay." The Mad King says in understanding then he follows the doctor to the others room. He races to the Mad Queen's side and looks to his peacefully sleeping face. "My dear rose… I can't wait for you to open your eyes and look into mine again with those beautiful eyes of yours." He lays a gentle kiss on the Mad Queens forehead before pulling away and sitting next to him on the hospital bed. "Wake up soon my love."
