Learning to Walk Again

by Mr. Hardcor3

Second in the Luz Belos Series. Boscha has had a hard time, first she was kidnapped, then she was beaten, then she was cursed, now she's stuck in a wheelchair. With the help of her friends and family, will she be able to walk again, or will she be stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

11. Not Alone

Boscha looked at the door and put her hands on her armrests.

"Okay." Boscha said, "I can do this."

She rises from her wheelchair and looked at the door.

"I got this."

From the side, Maya was clacking her claws in support. Boscha put one leg out and took a step.

"O-o-okay, one step. That works."

Boscha took another step, then another. She made it about halfway to the door, a solid six steps, then her legs started shaking. Boscha started tried to go more, but fell to the ground. Boscha laid there and began to question her life choices.

"I regret all my actions." She said.

She began to crawl back to her chair when the door opened.

"Boscha, what the hell were you doing!?"

"Damn it." Boscha said.

Boscha was picked up and placed back in her wheelchair by her sister.

"Boscha, what the hell are you doing, you're only allowed to walk when there is someone here to watch you." Becky said.

"I'm just trying to practice." Boscha said.

"Boscha, I know you want to start walking again, but you need to take this slow. If you try something like this again, you may not be able to walk again." Becky said.

"I don't know how." Boscha said, "My entire life, I've only wanted to move forward, my whole moto is to 'keep moving'. How do I 'Keep Moving' when I can't move at all?!"

"I know this is hard, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here for you, your friends are here for you, your little girlfriend is here for you. You don't have to do this alone."

"Becky... what if I'm never able to walk again?" Boscha asked.

"Then I'll carry you everywhere you need to go." Becky said, "I'm not leaving you again."

"You promise?" Boscha asked, remembering when she left years ago.

"I promise." Becky said, "I won't leave you again. I said I would come back when you needed me, and you clearly need me right now."

Becky hugged Boscha and the sisters just stayed silent. Becky felt her dress get wet and realized Boscha was crying.

"When you were gone, I spent many sleepless nights wishing for you to come back." Boscha said, "Where did you even go?"

"I was at the skull, learning about magic you would never believe." She said, "I'll tell you about it later, Bo-Bo. But I can give you a little taste of it."

Before Boscha could respond, Becky put a hand on Boscha's head and Boscha fell asleep. Becky picked her up and placed her in the bed.

"Sleep well, Boscha."
