Chapter 13
Ezio reached the mansion then called out a "Mario! We need a doctor! Now!" as he ran in, heading straight to his room. Elizabeth was right behind him, worried about me. Ezio reached his room then laid me down on his bed as my eyes slowly slid up to Ezio's face then my sister's. Soon Roy ran in and gasped a bit. "E-Elizabeth...?" Roy half stuttered half asked. "Yes little brother. I'm here and alive..." Elizabeth trailed off a bit as she looked towards me. I was lying on the bed, panting a bit as a whimper came from me. Ezio moved to my side as he ran a hand through my hair, trying to calm me down as my eyes moved to Roy then to Elizabeth, a soft smile on my lips. "Even in her weak state she still smiles...You never seem to amaze me Hoshi...Always smiling...Always laughing..." Elizabeth said softly while Roy chimed in "...Always killing too..." "Hmph shut up Roy before I shut you up!" I snapped, starting to get up until Ezio's hands on my shoulders stopped me.
Soon the doctor walked in and everyone was ushered out. "I hope she's okay...She's such a fool...She shouldn't have done that...I could have taken care of myself..." Ezio thought as he sat down on a bench outside while looking up at the sun rising before he heard a scream filled with pain coming from his room "Hoshi!" He called out as he ran to his room. I was up against the wall, whimpering as the doctor seemed to be in pretty hard shape from the kick to the groin I had given him when he tried to clean the wound. "What in God's name happened here?" Ezio thought as he walked over to me. "What-" Ezio began until I whirled around to face him, my arms going around him as I muffled out a "Don't let that man near me...He hurt me..." as I was whimpering. Ezio let out a laugh as he looked to the doctor who was groaning slightly in pain. "What if I was to stay with you? Will that be better?" Ezio said softly as I just nodded a bit. "Good girl..." He soothed softly as he moved to rest me on the bed again. Ezio sat behind me, his arms around me while he gently took hold of my hands, giving them a gentle squeeze.
"Okay...keep her steady...And please don't let her kick me again...She got quite the kick..." The doctor half jokingly said. "Don't worry...She won't...Not while I'm here..." Ezio replied back as I just sighed a bit, rolling my eyes. "Fine...just do it..." I muttered softly then hissed in pain, my back arching as the doctor began cleaning the wound. I bit my lip slightly trying not to cry as I could remember when the first time I had gotten hurt and my father told me to stop being a baby when I broke down crying even before the cloth got next to me. I laughed softly, yawning a bit. I relaxed my body against Ezio's as I looked at the wound, watching the doctor work. It kind of amused me watching the doctor work on my wound that I had received from my sister. A grin broke across my face then turned to horror as the doctor cursed when the wound re-opened, blood coming out twice as fast than earlier. "Hey! Do something!" Ezio said as he felt my body go a bit limp in his arms as I looked up at him dizzily.
