Chapter 9
'So let me get this right, S.H.I.E.L.D has been watching Skye since she was a baby and you had an Agent that was only 11 go in a bond with her?' Jemma question.
'Yes, I've read her file. She was the only one who could actually make a connection with you, Skye. You were so closed up at the time and Allison, she really thought of you like a sister. You two were a better match than they thought and Allison taught you to become an amazing person. You were very lucky to have met her.'
'She wasn't very lucky to meet me, I was the reason that her mother was dead and that she had to baby sit me.' I mutter but of course Coulson heard every word I said.
'She was raised by her mother that way, she knew right from wrong and she knew that to help you, help you become who you are today was right. She saved you that day, the day you two were racing each other to school. If she had not done what she did, you would have been found out for what you are, whatever that is when we find out. Jemma? May I have a few words with you in the hallway?'
I turn to see Jemma gaze slip from me and her head nod curtly, I watch them walk out of the room and I'm alone.
I lean back into the pillows that were too uncomfortable unlike the ones that I hope were still sitting in my pod. I look out the little window in my room to see Coulson and Jemma in a very heated conversation and right now I really couldn't care, I can feel the burning pain in my stomach more now that I am left alone with my thoughts. I've only been awake a short time but I hate it in here, I've always hated hospitals. I hated them the most when I spent over seven hours waiting on news about Allison just for them to tell me that she hadn't made it and there was nothing they could do for me. There is nothing that they can do for me now. I have to heal, I need to know the truth and I need to get out of this god forsaken bed.
When I look back to the window Jemma is looking in alone with worry filling her features and her eyes are sad and filled with tears. She's shouldn't have to be here, it's my fault. They shouldn't have to worry about me. I need to go to her, I try to sit up but the pain that spreads through my body stops me and Jemma soft voice telling me to lay back down calms me.
When I'm once again flat on my back, Jemma leans over me and whispers, 'Skye, you need to rest. I know you want to get up but I need you to rest for me. I'm going to give you a sedative that should help with sleep and hopefully keep the nightmares away but just relax.'
My eyes follow her as she fills a syringe and sticks it into my IV line, I feel the effects straight away and I feel like I'm floating, the pain is gone as well.
I try to get my eyes to focus on Jemma as she leans over me again her warm hands running through my hair again and her voice tell me, 'Just relax, it's going to be okay. Just rest for me.'
My voice slurs but I manage to say, 'I'll…rest for you…only…for you…Jem,' and the darkness takes over and I can rest now, if only the nightmares would stop.
'I need to get her temperature down Fitz!' Jemma commands.
'Okay, okay, I got it. I've got it,' Fitz mutters wildly.
I can feel the cold beginning to seep into and under my skin. 'Temperature dropping…,' Fitz's voice says.
'Pressure stabilizing!' Jemma voice echo's in the room
I can feel so many eyes on me, waiting on my breath to slip through my lips but it feels like my lung have seized and no breath can escape.
'Is it working?' May's voice questions.
'IS IT WORKING?!' Coulson voice rings loud.
Then even though I am freezing I can feel my lungs fill with air and air pass my dry lips.
'For now…'
I…I'm alone. I'm stuck in a glass coffin. I need to get out, I can't take the cold, I've never been so cold. I've never been so alone.
I don't own anything except a laptop and a new desk. So I'm sorry for such a short and late chapter it was kinda rushed I know. I've been away because March 17th was my 19th birthday and also the day I came out to most friends and family. It didn't go as well as I planned but the people who mattered supported me. I would like to thank every reviewer and all the follows. I should be going back to normal where I could update one or two chapters a day. So keep in tuned because everything is connected.
Thank you dearly and I shall update with in 24-36 hours.
