Chapter 18

healing and punishment

The damage to 30 wasn't as bad as Rosie first thought but it wasn't little either, another small tug and 30's soul would have come right out.

"Your gonna be fine" Roji gave her soul one last push back in place and 30 felt much better

"Now to sow you up" This was the part 30 dreaded. It wasn't the needle and thread that made her nervous it's just her father's sowing sucked!

"So why were you with Rosie in the first place?" She didn't know why he was trying to start a conversation he couldn't hear her without Rosie

"Well you don't have to answer...Okay it's done"

30 inspected his work, it was very suckish looked like a month old did it but it would hold and that worked for her. She jumped off the book and crumbled to the floor

"Don't do that. You can't put any weight on yourself for a few days"

30 Gave him a 'Seriously?' look

Roji gave her a cheerful 'yes' look

Roji gently picked her up and placed her in the temporary sick bed

30 glared at him with obvious dismay

Roji glanced at the door "I gotta go feed Rosie" his voice rose a little and sounded like a squeak

"Feed her what? Cup noodles, an omlette, or your-just-using-that-excuse-to-avoid-my-glare soup?" 30 glared at his back

Roji walked out little known to him Rosie slipped into 30's 'sick bay' as he left

30 looked up at Rosie and gasped. It looked like Rosie had been crying

"Rosie what?"

"I'm Sorry" She hiccuped

"It's all my fault" She sobbed

"...No it's not"

Rosie looked at her with her red eye's

"I wanted to go and protect you. And you had no idea that would happen. So I can't blame you and you shouldn't blame yourself"

Rosie looked close to crying

"oh there you are Rose" Roji came in holding a plate

"You must be hungry" he grinned at her

"Your going to punish me" Alway blunt vigilant Rosie

Roji took a deep breath and exhaled "honestly Rosie I think you were punished enough"

Roji had thought about it and looked back she had been punished when 30 was ripped open and Rosie almost lost her best friend and that was worse than and punishment he could give her.

Rosie's face pricked with fresh tears she jumped into his arms and hugged him tight and 30 despite her injuries game him a hug around his wrist. Roji hugged them back.
