DG woke with a start. Pain erupted from her side. Memories flashed through her minds. Dedra's death, Brisk's betrayal, her life threatening injuries. She opened her mouth, attempting to speak out. She managed a small cry. No words, hardly a gasp. Her throat felt like it was on fire.
"Easy kid." called a worn voice.
DG relaxed a little. Her eyes filled with confusion and pain. She felt Cain's gentle grip on her hand. She opened her mouth, trying to speak again.
Cain shook his head, "Don't try to talk DG. The doctors on his way."
DG gave a small nod.
Not two seconds later, a man dressed in white entered the room. "Ah, Princess. You're awake, this is excellent." He moved further into the room. "Well, as you've gathered yourself, you are in one of Central Cities hospitals. You were gravely wounded, however…it would appear you arrive in time."
"You might want to stop beating around the bush doc." Cain said.
If the situation hadn't been so inappropriate, DG would smirk.
"Right. Well the damage you sustained was significant. There was massive internal bleeding but we managed to repair it. However, your throat was a different story. The blade severely damaged your larynx. It was repaired to the surgeons best ability, however we are unsure whether it will heal completely." the doctor explained.
I may never speak again? DG thought. She wasn't sure what to feel. Waves of emotions washed over her, but none took control. She lay still, as if the doctor had said nothing at all. It wasn't the end of the world, people can survive without their voice. So she was a Princess, that just meant that she would need to make adjustments. Nothing big, really?
Cain's grasp broke her form her train of thought. He said nothing, but his eyes spoke for him. Crystal blue eyes, bearing years of hardships, stared into hers.
DG shrugged and mouthed her words. "Now what?"
"That all depends on you kid. Are you going to let this rule your life now?" Cain asked.
"No." DG mouthed.
Cain smirked lightly, "Didn't think so. Now, I need to update your parents on your condition. There's two guards posted outside your room. No one's getting in."
DG gave a small nodded. Her neck stung again. She winced.
"Take it easy now, kid. You got really luck today. I'll be back later." Cain said. He stood up.
DG squeezed his handed quickly. He looked back, "Thank you."
"Anytime kido." Cain replied. He let go of her hand and walked out of her room.
DG stared at the door. This wasn't going to control her life. It never would. She'd make do with it. But right one, DG was going to take Cain's advise and take it easy. She closed her eyes and fell into a well needed sleep.
