Chapter 9; Poisoned blood
emma climbed out of the ambulance watching as the paramedics wheeled Jill inside shouting orders. She turned around to find Jack, but the young pirate had dissapeared. Sighing Emma entered the hospital and froze when she spotted hook leaning on an IV stand talking to one of the nurses. Hook smiled at her when and beckoned for her to come over.
"What's all the commotion love?" He asked confused. Emma hesitated as hook stared at her
"Jill collapsed. We don't know why, but she got rushed here." Hook stiffened
"Where is she?" Emma shrugged
"I don't know." She said softly
"I want to see her." He said firmly looking around for a nurse. Emma grabbed Hooks hand
"I don't know If that's a good idea. I mean, she did attack you last time." hook sighed
"I need to explain everything to her. I owe her that much." Right then Dr whale entered the waiting room
"Sheriff swan?" He said
Emma walked over to him hook following
"What happened to her?" Whale looked up from his clipboard
"It's quite odd. She has Septicemia."
"Septi-what?" Emma asked
"Blood poisoning. She has blood poisoning." Whale said. Hook stiffened
"That's a death sentence. Especially for a pirate." Whale turned to him
"It was in the enchanted forest, however here we have medicines to treat it. But, what is odd is how Jill managed to survive so long with this condition. She has a very advanced case."
Hook looked at the doctor
"Blood poisoning typically leaves sores does it not? I didn't see any sores on Jill" whale nodded
"Under her fingerless gloves. She was clearly hiding them." Hook looked down.
"Can I see her?" Whale looked confused
"I'm afraid only family can visit. But why would you want to see the person who attacked you?" Hook smirked
"Well as it would seem, she's my niece." Whale rubbed his temples and laughed
"Is everyone in this town related? I suppose you may"
_On his way to Jill's room Hook heard a loud commotion. Jack stood outside in the hall arguing with one of the nurses
" . To. See. Jill!"she screamed stamping her foot. The nurse sighed
"You can't. You are not her realtive and besides you are not an adult." Jack growled and was about to speak when Hook interrupted
"Excuse me, I will take the lass in. Whale gave me permission to talk to Jill" Jack glared at the pirate
"I'd rather go to Davy Jones locker than go anywhere with you!" She spat
Hook shrugged "then you won't see your sister"
