Once Larka's ambulance speed towards the clinic Antonio, Yazmin, and Johnny were loaded up into theirs and were also taken to the clinic as the rest of the pack followed. At the clinic Larka was rushed into the ER while Antonio was sent to the OR.
The pack along with Yazmin and Johnny stayed in the waiting room to wait for any news on either pack member.
"Are you two sure that none of this blood is yours?" Rolf asked the shell shocked wolves
"We're sure. We didn't get hurt." Johnny told him as a doctor came in saying that Antonio was out of surgery
"We removed the bullet and stitched up the wound. Just make sure he doesn't move around too much nor does anything to open the wound back up." The doctor instructed as a nurse walked in saying that Antonio had already re-opened his wound
"That idiot!" Romano scoffed but everyone could hear the relief in his voice and the happy tears in his eyes from knowing that his mate would be ok.
When the doctor allowed it the pack went up the stairs to Antonio's room
"Hey guys." He said happily from the bed
"Why the fuck are you so happy? You just got shot!" Romano demanded
"I've had worse." The Spaniard shrugged as the doctor walked in
"Are you here for the other victim as well?" he asked
"If you mean the girl that was rushed into the ER then yes." Rolf replied
"Well she's out of surgery and recovery now. But before I tell you what room she's in or let you see her I need to talk to her parents." The doctor told them
"We're her parents." Ivan replied pulling Alfred forward
"But whatever you have to say to us can be repeated in front of the others." The Russian stated as the doctor nodded
"The girl will make a full recovery but the trauma to her head may have affected her memory. She's still sleeping off the anesthesia so we don't know for sure how much or what she remembers.
"The girl is lucky she didn't end up in a coma. Oh and one other thing her right eye was damaged in the impact. We did all we could but she may still lose all vision in that eye." The doctor explained before showing the pack to Larka's room.
The pack peered through the open door to see Larka sleeping on the bed. Her hair had been cut so they could fix her head injury, the right side of her face and head was covered by bandages, she had bruises all up and down her arms, neck, and face, and was hooked up to an oxygen pump.
All in all the girl looked like hell. The heart monitor next to her emitted a steady beeping sound in time with her heart beat as Alfred, Ivan, and Johnny approached the bed.
Once the family was settled Roma and Rolf had everyone else leave
"Let's give them some time to be alone with her." Rolf suggested.
Lovino and Yazmin returned to Antonio's room,
Kiku and Heracles went home with Arthur, Francis, and Ansel,
Feliciano didn't know if he should stay and be with his brother or leave,
Ludwig was talking with Gilbert and Matthew,
Rolf and Roma sat together in silence,
and Luciano played with Monika to distract himself from what was going on around him.
It was late afternoon the next day when Larka slowly opened her silver left eye and looked around till she found her brother curled up in one of the hospital chairs
"Johnny?" she asked in a quiet voice waking the boy
"Larka you're awake!" he said happily as he ran to the side of her bed
"Dad dragged mom out of the room earlier and said something about a shower but I don't know where they went." He told her
"That's fine I'm just happy to see that you're ok." She smiled as the doctor came in and noticed that she was awake, after checking her over the doctor sent Johnny to tell the others that his sister was awake.
When everyone heard that she was awake they rushed to her room only to be stopped by the doctor
"I only want a few of you to go in at a time so we can see if she has any memory loss. She remembers the attack, her parents, her brother, and has been asking about Mr. Carriedo and his daughter but that's as far as we've gotten." The doctor explained as the pack went in a few at a time.
Larka remembered all of them till Ludwig, Feliciano, and Luciano walked in
"Ciao Feli and Hallo Ludwig!" she said happily as Feliciano ran up and hugged her gently
"Larka I'm so glad you're alive!" he cried as Ludwig pulled his mate off of the injured girl
"Feli you might hurt her more." He told the Italian in a gruff voice that made Larka giggle.
"So Larka how do you feel?" Luciano asked receiving a blank stare in return
"Um do I know you?" she asked shocking the entire room
"Larka what do you mean? You've got to remember me!" he told her
"I'm sorry. You smell like the pack and the doctor said this might happen but I simple don't remember you." She stated
"But if it helps there's a huge chunk of my memory that's simple blank. I can remember the car crash that killed my parents, being found by Rolf and Roma, being adopted by mama and daddy,
"All of my time spent with Sorin, the pack members, and what happened at the mall. That's it." She confessed before she began looking for something
"What are you looking for Larka?" Luciano asked
"My morphine button. It's attached to a tube hooked up to that medicine bag. I was told to press it if I felt any pain which is stupid because I'm in constant pain and I can only get two doses out of the stupid thing in a twenty four hour period." She replied as she pulled out a black tube with a red button on the top and pressed it
"It takes a while for it to kick in but when it does the pain is manageable." She sighed as she relaxed back into the pillows on her bed and falling asleep again.
That night everyone but Antonio and Larka returned home to talk about Lara's memory loss
"Why did she remember everyone and everything but anything to do with me?!" Luciano cried as soon as he was allowed to speak
"You're not the only thing she's forgotten Luciano. She also forgot about saving Gilbert's life and a few other things she's done for the pack." Rolf told his grandson
"Well I'm not surprised that she lost part of her memory. None of you were there to see how hard she was hit in the head." Yazmin stated
"Johnny didn't see much while we were in there because Larka shielded him till the end and then when she was hit I made sure that he didn't see anything. I on the other hand saw the whole thing." She added as Lovino wrapped his arms around his little girl
"I don't care who or what she's forgotten my little girl is alive and that's all that really matters." Alfred told the pack
"Alfred doesn't mean to sound rude with that comment but even though she's not ours by blood Larka is still our child and I'm sure you all know how we feel da?" Ivan said with a smile that told the others he was still pissed his daughter was hospitalized.
Antonio was released from the clinic a few weeks later and Larka was up to her old tricks of not listening to the doctors and defying orders to stay in bed by Ludwig and the rest of the pack by getting up and walking around the clinic.
One day she was down in the lobby talking to the receptionist when her parents, brother, Luciano, and his parents walked in and saw the still bandaged girl standing at the desk
"Larka what are you doing out of bed?!" Alfred demanded as he ran over to the soon to be seventeen year old
"I was bored so I left?" she shrugged before Ivan picked both her up and her IV pole and took her back upstairs
"Daddy I was fine where I was!" she shouted
"Now now you back into bed you go!" he smiled as he put her back in bed
"Haha you got in trouble!" Johnny laughed
"Laugh now little brother. I'll get you back once I'm released from this hell hole!" she huffed before turning to Luciano
"Before you ask no I don't remember you." She told him watching his face fall "How did you know that I would ask?" he wondered
"Simple you ask every time you see me. But I'm guessing that you were important to me before I lost my memory because of the spirit I have following you." She replied
"You have a spirit following me?" he asked
"I have spirits following every member of the pack.
Arthur and Ansel is watched over by Arthur's younger brother,
Francis by his lost love,
Ludwig by his mother,
Gilbert by their father,
Feli by his father,
Lovi is watched closely by their mother,
Mama is being watched by his mother right now,
Matthew by their father,
Papa by a ghost who calls himself General Winter,
Antonio by my father, Kiku by his family,
Yazmin by a very nice Polish man named Feliks,
and Johnny is followed by my mother.
But you Luciano are followed by my godfather and mentor Sorin and he's the most powerful spirit I have connections with seeing as he was a necromancer while he was alive." She explained
"I don't believe you." Luciano stated crossing his arms as the room grew colder
"Larka please don't give the ghosts form. You know they freak me out!" Alfred squeaked as he hid behind Ivan.
Larka's only visible silver eye never left Luciano's yellow ones as she flicked her wrist exposing all of the spirits she had following everyone causing Alfred and Feliciano to scream
"Ok I believe you now hide them again." Luciano ordered
"I don't take orders from you sweetheart but if you say so." She shrugged as she called them off before falling asleep again.
Yay Larka is alive! But will she ever regain her memory back? Review to find out!
