Okay, just a quick heads up, I've changed Dr. Dryman's name to Dr. Leyman. Only because as I'm proof reading in my head I keep calling him Dr. Dreman, which sounds like Dr. Dre, who's a rapper/rap producer. And no offense to those who actually enjoy rap music... like my mom.... it makes me uneasy, for lack of a calmer word.
But enough about my distaste for rap music, here is the new Chapter Fourteen.Chapter Fourteen
Two hours later, Tecna was ready in a beautiful evening gown with a silk ribbon around her arms. Timmy wore a suit that he found in his own closet.
"Tec, you look lovely." Timmy replied after she walked in the common room.
"Thank you Timmy. Dr. Marson should be here in a few minutes." she told him. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Timmy answered. Dr. Marson stepped inside wearing his own fancy suit.
"You look radiant, my dear." he told Tecna, then looked at Timmy,
"And to you, excellent choice in suit, it matches so well. But enough chit chat, I'm suppose to take you down to see your supervisor." Timmy put the electronic key in his pocket, and went out the door with Dr. Marson and Tecna. The couple followed Dr. Marson down a hallway to a glass elevator. He pressed to button to go down, and in moments, the doors opened. Once they were inside, Tecna looked out the glass to see the lobby of the resort. There was a wide range of activities happening, and a lot of fairies hustling and bustling about. It was exciting.
"This place looks endless." she replied breathlessly.
"It does, doesn't it?" Dr. Marson smiled. Once they landed, Tecna couldn't see where the lobby was, but there was a long staircase. The three walked down to the dining hall, the were numerous tables all with fairies sitting with their supervisors, others with friends, but none of them was ever sitting alone. Large chandeliers hung from the ceiling, they looked like upside down castles that lit up the room. There seemed to be a stream running through the room, and bridges lead to every part of the room, from every level. Tecna couldn't believe how beautiful this was, it was truly fantastic. A man stood at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for them.
"Ah," he replied, looking at her, "You must be Tecna." She smiled weakly, to be honest, she became shy and quiet right then and there. The man took her hand ever so gently and slowly, and felt her fingers.
"Your fingers are so slender, I feel like I could hurt you with only the slightest amount of pressure." he told her softly, she looked at Timmy for something to say.
"Come on Leyman, she's not that fragile." Dr. Marson chuckled.
"Well she is that beautiful." the man said.
"I tell her that everyday." Timmy smiled, and Tecna blushed.
"Tecna, this is Dr. Leyman, he's your supervisor for your stay here." Dr. Marson told her. They sat at an empty table and the two doctors discussed Tecna's Emotia, and she kept looking at Timmy for assurance.
"The medicine has calmed the emotion attacks quite a bit; she just needs a larger dose than what she was getting at Alfea." Dr. Marson explained to Dr. Leyman.
"And her boyfriend?" Dr. Leyman asked.
"He just keeps her calm and comfortable, preventing the emotion attacks from coming." Dr. Marson continued, "He's not the cure, he's here to keep her comfortable and relaxed. Of course no one with Emotia wants to be in a place full of strangers without a familiar face."
"Touché" Dr. Leyman agreed. The food was served, and the couple ate in silence while the two doctors continued to talk, that is until Dr. Leyman looked at Tecna.
"Tecna, how do you like it here?" he asked.
"It's truly enchanting." she sighed, looking around at the beautiful dinning hall.
"It's more then you thought you could dream of, isn't it?" he asked her.
"Yes." she answered.
"See, that is the point of all this paradise, to keep our patients happy. It would be a boring place just to be cooped up in a hospital room all day." Dr. Marson replied. They all enjoyed dinner, and Tecna still couldn't believe this was actually her life for a while.
Timmy and Tecna walked a path lit by solar lights, there was a fountain by the path, and the two doctors strolled close behind.
"Isn't it a beautiful sky, Tecna?" Timmy asked.
"It is." she answered quietly.
"Tec, this is real, you're living the life I'd give you if I was as rich as I wish I was. You deserve all this paradise. This is yours."
"But for how long, and the girls… I miss them." Tecna sighed.
"Ah, your friends." Dr. Leyman walked up the path to them, "I've scheduled them in for 1:00 tomorrow afternoon."
"See Tec, everything's handled." Timmy smiled.
"They're going to love visiting this place; I know Stella would love to try some of my clothes." Tecna laughed, she knew as much as Stella would want to, she couldn't take the clothes.
"Yeah, isn't that going to be fun?" Timmy wanted to know about the guys too. They both were excited to see all there was to see in this realm.
And for the mention of the chandeliers, I used to go to a lounge with my family when I was young and I always thought the chandeliers there looked like upside down castles.
Enjoy. :)
