Chapter 2:

Trust and Healing

Emily's POV:

They had just arrived at the Rose Palace and Emily had sent Aria to go tell her parents about what happen, while she had the rest of the servants with her set up a cot as well as a tray of medical supplies inside her bed chambers for the werewolf girl that was unconscious and heavily injured. Emily stood back as she watched the medical staff begin to work on the young girl injuries first with cleaning, followed by stitching the deep open wounds, and then finally the bandaging.

When Aria came back she said that her parents were outside waiting for her just outside the room. Emily thanked Aria and then asked her to assist the medical staff in any that she could, as well as to make sure that the staff didn't do anything to harm the girl any further. Emily walked outside the room to see both the king and queen of Rosewood, her parents, looking at her in surprise about the events that Aria had relayed to them at Emily's request.

"Emily! Are you alright sweetie? How is the girl? Has she awoken yet?" Emily's mother reached over to pull her daughter in to a hug.

"Mom, I am completely fine and the girl is going to be fine but she is going to have a lot of stitches. And she is still passed out." Emily said as her mom squeezed her to death.

"Do you know which area the girl came from or what pack she belongs to so she can return to them? She must have some place that she can move on to when she is done here?" Pam continued to shoot off questions

"Pam breath! Let's just wait until the girl that Emmy rescued wakes up and heals." Emily's father cut in with a smile. "I am sure after a little time after that she will tell us all we need to know and if she doesn't have any place to go to she can stay here and work. I am sure we could find her a place somewhere that she can work."

Suddenly the three looked up at the sound of things being thrown around. Wade smiled "Looks like our guest is awake. Emmy you better go in there and try to get her to calm down before she rips open any of her stitches or kills any of the medical staff before they are done with her."

Emily nodded and ran back in to the room to help. As Emily partially kicked the door to get in to the room, she quickly looked find the room in complete disarray with the medical staff hiding behind the furniture. Emily saw that they were hiding so they wouldn't get hit by flying medical supplies/objects that were being thrown by the female werewolf that was half-way morphed in to her wolf form.

Just before the wolf girl was able to grab something else to throw, Emily had snuck up behind her and grabbed one of the half-shifted wolf by the arm as she started to yelled "NO! PLEASE STOP!"

The werewolf spun around and scratched Emily in the face with her long claws. The cuts started to bleed a little, but they weren't very deep. As soon as the she-wolf realized the girl that she had scratched was the girl that had rescued her, her yellowed eyes went wide as she started to whimpered and back up a little from the dark skinned girl.

Emily saw the shock in the she-wolf's eye and heard her begin to whimper. Emily got closer to the other girl and put both hands on the girl's red furred covered face and started to gently started to whisper to her. "Shhhhh! It's ok, don't worry. The cuts aren't that deep. My name is Emily and I am not going to do anything to hurt you. I am just going to help you relax so my medical staff can fix you up and I promise I will not make you do anything against your will. Is that ok with you?"

The half morphed wolf couldn't do anything, but make a single nodded. As she nodded the dark skinned beauty started to softly stork her furry face as she start to speak gently again. "Take a deep, breath and look deeply in to my eyes. You find my eyes so calming and soothing and you find that soothing, calming waves wash over as you just continue to focus on my eyes. You find them so calming that you don't want to look away…"

As Emily continued using the hypnosis on the wolf girl, she led the fuzzy girl back to the cot and had her sit back down on it. As the girl felted the girl named Emily gently push her to lie down on her back, she made her body shifted back in to her nude form. Emily tuned to call over the medical staff and they came forward so they could continue to treat her. As Emily turned to face her again and give her a nod to let her know that these people weren't going to hurt her.

"What is your name?" Emily asked with eyes that full of kindness and laughter at how much that the injured girl was in awe of her as she just continued to just stare with her mouth hanging slightly open. It looked as if the girl was staring up at a goddess that had saved her.

"Paige, my name is Paige." The girl named 'Paige' whispered.

"Paige… wow! That is a really beautifully name. Well Paige, thank you for allowing me to hypnotize you a little bit like that. It really means a lot to me that you trusted me you like you did to allow me to do that." Emily said with a smile. "And please remember you are completely safe here, no one in this palace will harm you. So please try your best not to harm any of the servants."

Paige smiled too at the last part. "I will try, but I will not make any promises."
