Chapter 119

I swing my legs off the bed and slide off and stagger, but the King catches me and I take in his scent "you smell good" "so do you" "so do I what?" I look up at him "you said I smell good" "I said that out loud? “he chuckles "indeed you did" he looks down at me still holding me and I swallow as I once again feel that electricity pulling me into this man "uhm, c-can you let go please, I need to go and check on Beau"

He slowly releases me and I turn away from and walk over to the other room, passing guards at the door, why on earth would this mad King have guards here? well I suppose he's in the room but still, who would want to harm him in his own hospital even if he came to visit this lowly one.

Beau is tubed up from nostril to feet, how am I supposed to help him? 'touch him with the will to heal' I hear a whisper, the hell? looking around, it's only me here ‘hello’ ......... silence, who am I kidding, where would a wolf manifest from suddenly in me, sigh.

I move closer to Beau and do as the voice said, I hold onto his hand and imagine him healing, I feel when the room door opens but I am too focused on what I’m doing right now, I keep my eyes closed as I imagine him healing “what the hell?”

What? I open my eyes and the King is standing by the door with a shocked expression, I look back and it looks like Beau is on fire “WHAT THE HELL?!” “what do you mean what the hell, you’re the one that did it!” “me?” “is there anyone else in the room Roho?” he’s not being burnt, I only then realize that it’s the same haze I saw in my dream before I woke up.

I walk around him and access him “look, come and see, his leg” I look closely and the spots where Beau was grabbed and hurt by the, uhm what was the name it called it again, I rub my forehead trying to remember.

“What was it?” “what was what?” “the name! It’s right on the tip of my tongue.... Devourant! Yes that’s what it was a Devourant!” “what on earth are you talking about?” “the thing in the-” “ughh” Beau stirs then opens his eyes, looking around, I walk over to him “what’s going on, where are we?” “in the hospital” “the hospital, why?” “don’t you remember? We were dragged away by that thing into the Forbidden Zone”

“My head feels like it’s under water, I don’t remember clearly right now, can I have some water”

I look around the room but there’s no water anywhere “I’ll be right back” the King leaves for a bit and returns with a bottle of water as well as Three persons. He passes the water to Beau who gratefully takes it and downs it without stopping until the bottle is empty.

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt this thirsty in my life” “mind if I do a check up on you?” “knock yourself out” the older gentleman walked over “I’m Doctor Jacoby, I just need to make sure everything is okay with you, check your vitals and ask you a few questions, okay?” “okay”

The doctor stopped and looked down at the floor “why is there quick silver on the floor here?” he asked almost angrily as well as confused “that seeped out of his leg before it sealed up” “what?” “look, his leg is all healed up like brand new, that stuff seeped out of it then closed itself up”

He leaned in inspecting Beaus’ leg, “there’s not even a scar, this is incredible” all the while I can feel the King boring holes into the side of my head.

“Nurse Ivana, can you take a sample of this up to the lab please” the nurse leaves the rooms and comes back with a syringe and Two test tubes, she sucked all of it up and shared the contents between both tubes, handing one to the King before leaving with the other one.

The doctor then proceeds to check Beau, while asking him questions to which he answers but for some reason his memory is a bit foggy when asked about the encounter, “I suppose because it was a traumatic experience for him, your brain is trying to make you forget it, which is understandable given the circumstance, I am most certainly curious as to how you miss seem to be perfectly fine while Beau here is struggling”

“Is there a puddle of the quick silver in your room too?” “not that I saw” “no, there’s none, she was out, then started mumbling in her sleep, then head butt me when she shot up from her unconscious state”

I fold my arms rolling my eyes “was the last part really necessary to mention?” “it happened didn’t it?” “baby” I mumble under my breath, or at least I thought I did, the doctor coughed “I heard that”
