A/n: I don't have anything to say for once....*Gasp* o__o.....uh....on with the story! o.o;;
I could not believe what lay in front of me. My precious Pearl had tried to take her own life. For the life of me I could not figure out figure out why on earth she would do something like this! I already knew the young man in front of me. I had delievered Alec for my old friend,Alec's father,Michael Jenoviva. Michael was a fantastic physician,and I found it comforting that Fate had somehow sent Alec to,more likely than not,save my daughter's life.
The blood on the floor was beginning to dry and Pearl's color was starting to brighten. Alec jumped to his feet the second he saw me,"Monseiur Barye,there has been a terrible occurance concerning your daughter,Mademoiselle Barye!" He said this,switching between French and English,extremely quickly. I simply nodded for him to go on. He told me of what he had seen that day. When Elliot's name reached my ears I frowned and glared silently. That boy was more trouble than he could possibly be worth.
Alec carried Pearl into my examining room as I followed him. I had to wonder if it was a bad sign,Pearl was always my top patient! Pearl began to wake up,or so we thought,but she passed out after only a second. Melinda and Charles entered at last with the supplies I had asked for. Slowly unwrapping the bandages,I flinched when I saw how deep the wounds were. Cartiledge had almost been sliced by my daughter's own hands. Hands which hung limply as I slowly stitched the mangled,bloody skin back together.
Once the wounds were closed,I noticed the marks on her neck with a slight cringe. I refused to examine her any further today,even if she wished it when she awoke. She needed to rest. When I turned to tell Alec and Charles to lleave Pearl alone for the night,I saw they were both gaping at her neck as I had been. Charles' eye had the slightest twitch going in it and Alec's teeth were grinding. "I think I'm going homenow,Monseiur Barye.."Charles said softly,his tone very strained. "Are you coming,Alec? I'm certain Annette would enjoy seeing you again." Alec nodded as I blinked. I hadn't known Annette Lipote had ever met Alec.
They left the room silently,Pearl still unconcious on the table. "Come on Etienne.."Melinda said softly in my ear. "There's nothing more you can do until she wakes up." She took me back to the den and there we sat,waiting,willing,for Pearl to open her eyes.
