Chapter 4
Notes
Two days had past and the strange girl had only woken briefly and I was sure she had not even noticed my presence. I heard the sound of a horse I looked out the window and could see it was the post master. I quickly put my cloak on and answered the door.
"A letter for you Monsieur." He said handing me an envelope.
I nodded taking it hurrying back inside. Taking the cloak off I open the letter.
"Erik,
I can't believe what I am reading. You took someone in? I guess I should not be this surprised. How ever I am worried about the health of your little guest. I may be able to visit you by Wednesday. I will however be sending Riden in before his normal time.
Stay safe
Antoinette."
"You shouldn't have sent that letter. Now we can't dispose of her."
I sighed walking into the study I placed a hand on the girls forehead to feel her temperature and immediately her hand wrapped around my wrist and attempted to push it away.
"I didn't mean to." She muttered there was terror in her voice. I quickly removed my hand to keep her from becoming further upset.
"What kind of life has this girl had. Covered in scars and that one on her she seems to think she's being punished."
I heard a knock at the door cautiously I approached.
"Monsieur Phantom, I know you're in there." A familiar voice said.
I opened the door a crack and saw the Boy.
"Boy. You should know better then to surprise a Phantom." I hissed opening the door wider to allow him in. He laughed.
"So show me this girl you've acquired." He said. I took him to the study he peered inside and saw her he took a couple steps back.
"Something wrong Boy?" I asked.
"That...That's 's the girl the Townsfolk talk about. and you... you've brought her here." He stuttered.
"I thought you didn't believe in the Townsfolks superstition?"
"I don't but I told you there's something not right about her."
"Does it honestly look like I care there's not exactly anything right about me Boy." I said trying my hardest to control my temper.
"I apologize Monsieur. But I suppose you can make you're own opinions of her when she awakes." He said.
"Yes now if that is all Boy would you mind leaving me."
He nodded and left. I picked up the supplies he left I would need to change Her bandages. I walked into her room and pulled back the sheets she still had nothing on other then her under garments as dressing her now would be pointless. As I began to change the bandage on her right arm her eyes snapped open and I saw them clearly for the first the light they seemed to glow I could not help but feel shocked.
"What are you doing to me!" She cried clawing at my arm .
"Relax. I mean you now harm." I tried to calm her down.
"Oh god where are my clothes. They're going to find me."
"I said be calm!" I exclaimed sounding more angry then I intended cursing myself mentally as the girl shyed away.
"Listen to me, I mean you no harm. You collapsed on my doorstep remember." I said in a soothing tone.
She nodded.
"You were injured quite badly. I had to remove you clothes to patch you up. I promise I did nothing more to you."
"I believe you Monsieur." She whispered.
"Would you mind telling me your name my dear?"
" Madilyne you may call me Madi Monsieur."
"Now Madilyne... Madi, Would you allow me to change you bandages?" I asked.
She slowly nodded. She seemed very uncomfortable while I worked especially when I went to work on her right leg she flinched as my hand brushed up against the jagged scar below her wound. When I was finished I stood in the door way to give her some space.
"I shall leave you to rest. If you need me just ?"
" Yes Monsieur." She said. I turned and walked away.
"Poor girl. Whatever has happened to her has left her traumatized."
"Since when did you care about the state others are in. she's so flighty you'd think she'd break. She is defiantly no Christine."
"I am very curious about this girl. The boy was right there is something strange her." I thought.
