My Secrets and Horrors

Chapter 18 – Healed

Previously

But before Flora could say anything Jason stood up behind her and removed a knife from his belt, "FLORA, BEHIND YOU!" Flora turned around just in time to see Jason lunging at her with the blade shining brightly in the dark corridor, a glint in his eye, a scream echoed through the corridor…

The scream that erupted from Musa snapped Flora to the situation at hand, with quick reflex Flora turned to the side narrowly missing the knife and she quickly grabbed his arm while he tried his hardest to swipe and catch her with the deadly blade. Helia tried to keep up with the fight but the speed was just too intense, he couldn't keep track on who was winning.

Flora tried to get an attack in but Jason's where just to fast the only thing she could do was block the coming attacks. With a quick thought she struck him at the side of the head but was not fast enough to dodge the blade. The action being too fast for anyone else to see.

She quickly hit him again in the ribs causing him to drop the blade without hesitating she picked up the knife and turned to use it for her own defence. In anger Jason ran at her forgetting about the knife, but he remembered too late. His eyes widened as he ran into the knife, the blade buried into the side of his stomach, he let out a grunt of pain before looking at the wound. He stepped back, the knife sliding out of the wound as Flora held tight to it. He gripped the wound. "I'll get you Jade, you traitor, I'll get you."

Jason held onto his wound tight as he ran back off down the corridor, Flora gasped slightly as her own left hand moved up to her right ribs, she pulled her hand back to see a glint of red on her fingers. Riller ran into the corridor, "Jade, holy shit are you okay?" Riller asked as she noticed the blood on Flora's fingers.

"I don't know…" Flora stuttered, her hand shaked slightly. Helia stepped forward,

"Flora?" But before anyone could do anything she stumbled and was about to fall backwards, her head spinning.

Riller moved fast and managed to catch her, Helia, Riven and Musa ran to her side. It was then they noticed the blood on the side of her ribs. "Oh my god, Flora" Helia spoke as he watched the blood seep through her top. Riller acted fast seemingly not bothered by the blood, she grabbed hold of Helia's hand and pressed it onto the wound causing Flora to moan in pain.

"Hold tight" She told him as she pulled herself away and turned to face Riven.

Riven looked slightly scared as Riller stared at him, "Have you got anything underneath that horrible suit?"

"Um I have a t-shirt…"

"Good take it off, now!"

"What, no way that is not going to happen it's my favourite t-shirt…"

"Oh for god's sake take it off Riven, it's for Flora…" Musa screamed clearly worried for her friend, Riven seeing and hearing the pain within Musa removed his t-shirt.

Riller took the t shirt from the specialist and pressed it across the wound on Flora's side, Flora gasped in pain. "Do any of you have a belt?" Without wasting anytime Helia removed his belt and handed it to the girl. Riller wrapped it around her side and tidied it tight holding the t shirt tight to Flora. "Flora, I need you to remain awake, I think you know the drill by now." Flora nodded slightly and prepared herself for the pain which is about to come.

Riller got to Flora's side and placed Flora's arm around her neck, seeing what Riller was doing Musa quickly got to her other side and done the same. "Okay on the count of three, you need to push up and stand up Flora" Riller spoke in a soft but stern voice. "Okay one, two, three" As soon as she said three both Riller and Musa pushed and pulled Flora to her feet with little help from Flora, but the sweat on her forehead told them she was trying. "Right, we have to get her to the room where we have put the rest of your people…"

"You mean the girls and guys?" Riven asked getting a gist of what was going on."

Riller looked at Musa and motioned with her head down the corridor and the two began to help to walk Flora towards the room. "Yes Flora didn't want any of you to get hurt, me and Flora was assigned to kill you but she couldn't so we have been kidnapping you and locking all of you in a room, we was then going to figure something out. Get you out safely. We need to get there now, out the corridors away from that one son of a …."

"Riller!" Flora whispered in a stern voice, Musa looked at Riller and silently told her that they should get a move on, and with that the group slowly made their way to the secure prison of the rest of the gang.

Tecna was led on her bed as she stared at the ceiling bored out of her mind, she sat up and looked around the room to see what everyone else was doing. Stella and Bloom was sat on the floor gossiping about what sounded like shoes, while Layla was sat on the edge of her bed practising her left and right punches trying to calm herself. While all the boys were looking around the room for a way out.

A loud grunt echoed through the room, "Ah this is pointless, there is no way out of here, I don't even see how they brought us in here, there is nothing…" Sky spoke as he slumped to the floor near Bloom.

"We can't give up..." Stella spoke barely above a whisper.

"There is nothing we can do Stella, we have tried everything we can think of, all we can do now is sit and wait."

As soon as the words had left his mouth a section of the wall began to morph away and Helia and Riven walked through into the room. "Helia, Riven" Brandon said with excitement in his voice. But before anyone could say anything else Riller and Musa walked into the room, half dragging a nearly unconscious Flora. Blood had started to seep through the self-make bandage, and Flora fought hard to stay awake.

"FLORA!" Layla screamed as she hopped off the bed ran towards the fairy.

"Put her on the bed over there" Riller spoke as she led Flora towards one of the unused beds.

Flora groaned as she was led on the bed her hand gripping the wound putting pressure upon the t-shirt. "What happened?" Bloom asked as she watched Layla sit next to Flora's head on the bed stroking her hair in a soothing way.

"We will explain everything later, but at the minute Flora is currently dying through a slash in her stomach" Riller explained as she went to a cupboard in the room and grabbed a medical box out of it.

Within minutes she was back at Flora's side, she opened the box and searched through for what she was looking for, a smile came to her face when she saw it all. She pulled out a bottle of wound alcohol, a needle and a thread. She looked at Flora with a smile and Flora looked back at her. "Don't enjoy it too much" Flora whispered

"I will try, but I'm not going to promise anything."

Flora laughed slightly and looked up at the ceiling, "this is going to hurt" she said under her breath, Layla continued to stroke her hair

"It will be fine Flora, just concentrate on me." Layla spoke softly causing Flora to look into her eyes. A sharp pain spread through her body as Riller undone the belt and gently pulled away the now blood soaked t shirt to reveal the gash. The girls eyes widened in shock at the size of the wound, and Stella had to look away in fear of being sick.

Riller bent down and had a look at the wound, "it's not as bad as I first though, I think it's the combination of exhaustion and lack of blood that has you feeling unwell. Once I clean it and stitch it up it you will heal in no time, and with my amazing skills with a needle, your scar would be barely noticeable." Riller said with a slight cheery tone to her voice.

"You enjoy your job too much"

"They say do what you love, no this is going to sting. Badly"

With that Riller took the wound alcohol and doused a cloth in it and was about to dab it on the wound when she looked at Layla, "you may want to hold her" Layla looked at the girls quizzing but done as she was asked and put both of her hands on Flora's shoulders to keep her to the bed. "Well here we go" and without another word she pressed the rag to the wound and Flora let out a scream as the alcohol ran into the wound.

Layla pressed Flora's shoulders back onto the bed as he tried to sit up, "Holy talking monkeys"

"Told you so" Riller spoke as she dabbed the alcohol all around the wound making sure it cleaned the wound, Layla struggled to hold Flora to the bed. Noticing his girlfriend's trouble Nabu walked over and held one of Flora's shoulders down allowing Layla to hold the other. Flora gasping and moaned in pain as she tried to wriggle free of her friends grip, her hands clenched in the sheets of the bed.

After what seemed ages Riller removed the now blood stained clothe and chucked it in the bin by the bed and opened up the packet containing the sterilized needle. Flora was now led on the bed trying to regain her breath the pain slowly dying down. Riller threaded the needle and then looked at Flora. "Flora I need you to stay as still as you can, this won't hurt as much as the cleaning but will leave a dull pain."

Flora grunted in response unable to talk properly, and Riller took that as the chance to proceed. Very carefully and with tiny stitches she sealed the wound, with Flora only grunting now and again. Soon enough the wound was all stitched up and quickly wrapped up in some bandages. Both Nabu and Layla let go of Flora and watch as Riller sat next to her head on the bed, she gently stroked Flora's hair, and spoke softly "You can sleep now Hun, get some rest. I will watch over you." and with that she leant in and placed a soft kiss on Flora's head before pulling the blanket up to her shoulders.

Sat in the corner of a dark room Jason was trying his hardest to stop the blood flow, "Ah I'm going to get her whether she likes it or not" He glanced over to the desk in the room and stared at the picture that was stood there. With an effort he forced himself to get up and head over clutching his bloody chest. He picked the frame up leaving finger prints of the glass. "Don't worry Flora I will get you, you were always meant to be mine, one way or another you will be mine."
