Chapter 31

YOUR POV

Small beacons of sunlight cascaded across my face as I was pulled out of my dream and back to reality, a groan erupted from my chapped lips while I heaved myself up from the slab of metal I was strewn across like a 5 course meal!A few cold tears slid down my face as I realised...I could use my mouth!

"I-I can talk,"I whispered.

I traced my quivering hand over my lips to find no stitches...no scars, NO NOTHING!A grin traced my lips as I glanced to the side of my bed and found a Darius staring at me with eyes filled with sadness.

"Nice to see you up," he groaned in the most monotone voice possible.

"Nice to be up, I had...nightmares?"I exclaimed trying to find the correct word to explain the experience.

My hands removed themselves from me and began to trace around the bandages that secured my torso, why did I have these.A groan escaped me as I attempted to heave my legs over the slab that secured my body for who knows how long but was barely able to move either of my legs!Darius stood from his chair and tugged the baby blue blankets from my already quivering body causing cool air to fly up the white nightgown I had been placed in, my eyes widened.My...leg.I was missing MY leg!Well, not exactly.A prosthetic had been tightly secured around the area where the bottom half of my right leg had been torn from it's friend (my upper right leg)!I allowed a wide grin to cover the remainder of my face which was mostly covered with my wide eyes.

"This is fine,"I reassured myself "this is fine!"

Darius began to slowly back away as my sicotic look glared at my leg, "you okay Y/N?"

My innocent smile returned as a deep breath escaped, "I'm fine!"

A giggle erupted from Darius, "as usual, very strong minded."

I heaved myself up from the bed ,with the help of Darius, and limped towards the door, "let's go."

The door swung open to reveal the hallway that danced around connecting all the bedrooms and the stairs to downstairs, nothing unexpected.The hallways groaned as the Pastas wearily slumped over the floorboards just awaking from there peaceful night rest.I glared at the tall oak door which towered above all others at the end of the hallway...he did this to me!Holding myself together, I began to approach the stairs allowing my fingers to examine every nook and cranny of the smooth walls.My eyes caught sight of the glistening mirror that covered the part of the wall conectting the kitchen whilst I glided over the glass steps that twisted around a diamond pole.

My E/C eyes glowed with hope and a hint of anger; my eyelashes providing my big orbs with a look of whimsy.My H/L H/C hair had returned and the weight dye had become unattached, allowing a few streaks of golden sun to glide over the birds nest of hair I had crafted over the time I was laying on that metal slab!Tugging at my skin, the stitches tightened around my arms and legs, well what I had left of my legs!My eyebrows lay out atop my S/C forehead with a look of shock pouring over my face, my lips parted slightly at the look of the navy blue begs dragging at my skin.The floaty nightgown wrapped tightly around my curves revealing a small amount af the bandages that covered my torso.The dress reached towards the ground but only reached my knees ending with curls of disappointment, two tight straps clung to the back and front of the dress holding it in place.A frill danced around the rim of the top of the gown leaving small creases over the chest of my dress.A silk ribbon wrapped just under my breasts ending in a bow at the back erupting into a big poofy bow that the excess ribbon landed to the glass floor causing my dress to be tight over the chest and poof out towards the bottom.

Darius wrapped his arms around my waist and lay his head (holding his cheesy grin) on my shoulder.

"Look great Doll but ya face is awful!You really need some blood," He croaked out allowing his breath to brush against my neck causing a dust of pink to cover my cheeks.

I sighed and placed my hands over his claws, "I know."

"Victoria?"
