Chapter Nine:
Getting ill
(Wolves's POV)
I woke up to the rays of the rising sun and the cries of Tamao's voice. Apparently, I had fallen asleep in the backyard in the middle of November. Frozen dew surrounded me, dropping my temperature further. My eyelids refused to open up and my limps felt heavy. A headache found it's way to my head and began cramping my brain. Tamao's voice said something but the only things my ear heard were blurs of words. Something on the lines of 'am I okay' and 'can I stand'.
I tried to shake my head but headache prevented me from doing so. Lying there in pain, I hear Anna's voice talking. Then I felt as if I was being moved. After a while, when my pain wasn't as painful and the coldness seem to have left me, I tried forcing my eyelids to open. I did managed to get them ½ opened. Next to me was a man with blond hair in a white lab coat. The rest of them, including Anna, surrounded me. The man put his ice-cold hand on my forehead and said something to Anna. As if she was told to, Tamao left. My vision began blurring and everything went black.
(Tamao's POV) a little before Wolves woke up
I woke up at 6 this morning, just when the sun was brightening the dull sky. It was a little early to be making breakfast so I thought I'd take a nice walk around the house. When I reached the backyard, I spotted someone lying on the grass, later identified as Wolves.
"Wolves! What happened?" her face was a pale peach, as her lips quivered a little. "Are you okay? Did you spend the night here? Can you stand?"
She moved a little but barely. I quickly ran to Miss Anna, knowing she can help.
(Normal POV)
When Tamao ran to Anna's room, Anna was already dressed. When she told Anna about Wolves condition, Anna followed her to the backyard. Lyserg so happens to be passing by, so Anna asked him to run down to Faust's clinic to fetch him.
Lyserg nodded and headed out the door. Tamao went inside and came back with some blankets. Knowing neither of them can carry her all the way to the house (she was sleeping pretty far from the house), they moved her onto a blanket and covered her shivering body with another one.
After a few minutes, Lyserg had come back with Faust and Yoh. They claimed to have met up on the way back. Faust went up to Wolves while Yoh woke up the others. When everyone was surrounding the girl in the backyard, Faust spoke up. "She caught a minor fever but from the looks on her face, the faded color, it seems to be more serious."
"Didn't Iik say something about Wolves catching fevers?" Horo asked, worry filling his voice.
"I'll go get the ice-pack," Tamao said, heading for the kitchen.
"Tamao…I'm right here. I'm an ice shaman, aren't I?" Horo trailed off, running after her.
"But putting ice on her forehead just won't do it. The most important thing now is to get her inside. Wait until her temperature steadies, then apply the ice," Lyserg said, "I'll go fix her futon so you can place her on it when you carry her inside."
Before the Anna can refuse, Lyserg ran off. Anna and Faust were alone in the backyard. Tamao gone to get ice, with Horo after her, Lyserg went to fix Wolves's futon and Yoh has past out due to Anna's special training for the day. Anna eyed Faust cautiously. "Don't tell me you want me to carry her."
Before Faust can tell her how important this is, a limousine pulled up in the front yard of their house. The door opened revealing a grumpy Ren. Can't blame him though, it was only 6:30.
Anna and Faust eyed Ren then stared at each other. "Ren! You came just in time. Carry Wolves to your room."
The confused Ren stood there, not understanding what Anna had just asked him to do. "What? Can't she go herself?" Ren said, walking towards them. "Oh," he said after seeing the shivering Wolves under the blanket. "What's she doing sleeping in the backyard?"
Anna narrowed her eyes. "The sooner you carry her in, the sooner she'll heal and the sooner we'll find out!" After experiencing all those Legendary Lefts in the time Anna was 'convincing' him to share his room with Wolves, Ren learned not to disobey Anna.
Reluctantly, Ren carried Wolves up the stairs and into the room where Lyserg and already fixed the futon. After placing her down, Ren sat down on his own futon and sighed. "Now what?" he asked the ice queen.
"To make her temperature steady. If you check now, the temperature would raise and drop from time to time," Lyserg said, repeating himself, "I'll go get some wet towels."
When Lyserg came back with wet towel, everyone had gathered in the room. Tamao placed the wet clothe over Wolves's forehead. Knowing they will be at no help at all, everyone left except Tamao and Ren. Ren stayed because it was his room. He sat there for another 10 minutes before sending Tamao off to cook breakfast. When Tamao brought up the topic on who will look after Wolves, Ren volunteered.
After Tamao left, the room fell extremely silent. Only Wolves's uneven breaths can be heard. For some reason, Ren felt a clench in his heart. Her pale face was giving off high temperatures. Before long, the wet towel was no longer cold. He was forced to change the towel every 10 minutes.
Soon, it was noon and Wolves's breaths were more evenly spaced out. But the clenching in Ren's chest did not leave. It was as if seeing her in pain was a scene he cannot bear to see.
Everyone else in the house resumed to their everyday life chores, occasionally dropping by to check up on Wolves. Anna decided it'd be best if Faust stayed for the night. Iik and Devilon came back at 3:20 am the next morning with Tamao describing everything to them (he violently woke up anyone he saw, and Tamao happens to be passing by). Iik, like any other protective brother, ran up to her bedroom, but he stopped in the doorway.
Ren had fallen asleep while watching after Wolves. Wolves laid on her futon with Ren curled up next to her. It was sweet enough to melt even Anna's heart.
Iik quietly flew into the room, grabbed Ren blanket and placed it over him. He kissed Wolves on the forehead and bid the 2 good night before closing the door behind him.
Yeah I know, it's not that sweet…I tried…-sniff sniff-…please review, I have a feeling this story will be over soon…probably a few more chapters and probably an epilogue. Please note that my new story: My Light in Pitch Black…is out…please check it out!.
