Chapter 9
When you woke-up a little later, you notice that Count D and Q-chan(I will call him that until the next transformation) were gone and that your brothers were there sleeping on the couch. You were glad that they were there to save you. It was still early so you looked at the roses. They were so beautiful with their different colors and how they brought beauty to the room. There were reds, pinks, whites, yellows, purples, but the ones you loved the most were the blue ones next to your bed on the vanity. You grabbed the card from it and it said, 'I'm sorry for what I said back at the shop. Grandpa told me everything before the incident in the park. I don't want us to be separated again after so long. Please let me hear the song again. Your dearest friend, Count D.' You were at the verge of crying tears of happiness after you read the card. You put it back on the vanity and tried to reach for a rose but it was in a tall big blue vase. You tried and tried to reach for one and when you accidently moved a leg a shock of pain went through your body, so you gave up and waited until Leon and Chris were awake. Soon the sun rinsed until it hit Leon right in the face making him wake up. "Damn sun. I only had five and a half hours of sleep." He then noticed that you were alive and well. You smiled as Leon gently placed Chris back on the couch and sat next to you. You than notice that his hands were bandaged. You gently took a hand and looked at it to see if it was that bad. "Don't worry sis. I only sprained them and scratch them a bit. I'm so happy that you are alright. You were in the emergency room almost the whole night trying to fix your legs." he then put a hand on you head. "Your luck that the tree wasn't so big or you would have been paralyzed from the waist down." He then looked at you with a concern face. "Look you don't have to stay at the pet shop anymore. You can stay with me at my apartment. I know that there are still some posters there, but I can get rid of them so that you can stay with me." You shook you head 'no'. "Why sis? D tried to kick you out." That is when Grandpa D came in with a jug of water for the roses. This time without the cloak and in one of his old clothes. "It is because she did remember. She was just afraid that he would reject her like before." "Where's D? He was here before us." Grandpa D said, "I sent him home so he can get some sleep though it was hard trying to drag him out of here." Leon than took out a cigarette. "Well at least he's alright." He was about to light but Grandpa D took it away in a flash. "This is a hospital Leon. Do you want to kill your sister from second hand smoking?" he said. Leon made a face and you giggled a bit. "By the way. The young boy is next door waiting to see Kurai again to thank her. But the nurses are still tending to him." Leon was confused. "For what?" "Apparently he has a cold from the rain and had a scratch on his arm from the fall." Then they heard arguing next door. "I don't care if I get sicker! I want to see her!' That is when he did a tantrum and started screaming. "For a ten year old he has a good set of lungs." That is when the boy came in and ran under the bed. Soon a nurse came in out of breath. "Excuse me but have you seen a small boy running through here? He doesn't want to go back to bed." Leon said, "Afraid not. He might have gone to the lunch room." "That's right. Thanks." then she ran off. That is when the little boy came out. He had short black hair and green eyes. "Thanks for that sir. I don't like that nurse very much, and she smells like old people." "No problem." Then Chris started to wake up. He saw you and ran to you with happiness. 'Onee-chan! Your ok!' Chris than hugged you and you hugged you back. The boy said, "My name is Darien. Thanks for saving me from the tree." You smiled and hugged him too. Grandpa D asked, "Where are your parents Darien?" "They went to the doctors to see when I will get out. Oh I never got your name." Leon answered him for you. "Her name is Kurai. I'm sorry but she can't talk yet." "Why not? Did you go to kindergarten?" Grandpa then explains to him why. "No Darien. She can't talk because she saw something bad when she was little." Darien was confused. "What do you mean?" "You see, if you see something scary like you were attacked by a dog, it can sometime scare you so much that you can't speak." That is when Darien understood. "Oh I get it. So she saw something so scary that she can't talk?" "Right." That is when Darien's mom came in. "Darien, it's time to go home now you can see her later." "Ok. Bye Kurai." Soon he left the room to go home to his family.
