Chapter 10: Fixed Up

I pondered over his words. I really did need medical attention. My ribs were hurting a lot. What if it was a trick though? What if he was lying and just wanted to hurt me. I looked up into his eyes, mine full of distrust, and found his shining with concern for me.

"C'mon! It's gonna be ok. I promise I won't hurt you. I'll take you to our doctor if you let me." Jasper said in a patient, convincing voice.

"Fine! Go ahead! Just watch yourself. One wrong move and I'll snap your neck!" I threatened in a voice so weak it had no affect on him.

"I'll keep that in mind." He muttered, chuckling as he bent to pick me up again. I cowered away from him slightly, still uncertain of what he might do.

He was very tall compared to me, and cute. I loved his name, but I was confused, he seemed too young to be in a gang. He slowly picked me up as I whimpered quietly in pain. He lifted me so easily, as if I weighed only ten pounds. Although he was being careful his unsteady step jostled me and made me cry out in pain.

"Sorry, Sorry!" He mumbled.

"Hmph! I hate this! Why can't I walk?!" I said angrily.

"Ha! You wonder why?! The guys have told me about you. They said you put up the biggest fight when capturing you. Besides you're forgetting I just saw your little escape. No way am I letting you down." Jasper answered with light laughter.

"Whatever!" I replied in an annoyed tone as I saw Jasper trying to hide a smile.

"Ummm…so how are your ribs?" Jasper asked after an awkward silence.

"Painful. So is my ankle. If I'm in this much pain I doubt I would get away, or get too far." I replied.

"Oh…I'm uhh…sorry. It's just you were running so fast that I had to stop you before you escaped. I didn't really think about how hard I hit you. Sorry. What happened to your ankle?" He asked, trying to make small talk.

"I tripped and fell while trying to save my friend's parents from an exploding building." I replied icily.

"Oh. Well we're here." He said awkwardly as he carried me into a little room where a man was standing, waiting for us. Jasper set me on the table and backed into the corner. He was probably here to make sure I didn't escape.

"So you're the girl who caused us so much trouble." The doctor said with a small chuckle.

"Why yes I am. My name's Alice." I said as I thought proudly of how I already earned a reputation around here.

"Figures you would get hurt trying to escape again. My name's Carlisle by the way." The doctor said.

"It's not my fault. That idiot tackled me and broke my ribs. Oh and I fell and hurt my ankle earlier." I explained as I glared at Jasper who was looking down sheepishly. Angrily I crossed my arms over my chest, but winced with pain as it jostled my ribs.

"Ok, Ok, Calm down. Just let me check your ribs and you'll be fine." The doctor said calmly as I nodded stiffly.

Carlisle went to work quickly, pulling my shirt up gently, poking and prodding my ribs. He continued until he found his mark, when I cried out in pain. I saw Jasper step forward with a hand extended towards me, but he quickly stepped back by the corner.

"Well I've finished tapping your ribs, Alice. You have two bruised ribs and your ankle is sprained. You will be sore for a couple days though." Carlisle explained to me.

"Thank You so much! I'm so glad that I'll be ok!" I said, shooting a glare at Jasper.

"Oh I almost forgot. I gave Jasper some pain medicine. He will give it to you everyday. I already instructed him on the amount and everything." Carlisle said as I looked over at Jasper again and saw him nodding slowly in response to what the doctor was saying.

My eyes narrowed to slits as I glared at Jasper, who shuffled his feet nervously under my gaze, when I heard he was going to give me medicine. I barely knew him!

"Thank you for the help you gave me Carlisle." I said through gritted teeth.

Just then I was hit with a brilliant plan. I felt remorseful for the pain I would inflict on Carlisle, the doctor, but I had to get out of here. I knew I needed to leave here and save Erik. I was ready to put my plan into action.
