7 Eleven Days of Recovery Part 2

Raiden's POV:

'I have never seen this type of look on Marie's face before. But I've seen a look close to it, the fire in her eyes tells me, she truly would do anything to get strong again, no matter what the cost is on her body in the end. I understand her a lot for I have the same type of look in my eyes for the same type of reasons.

While Marie is doing this, I keep my eyes on her, I ask Rose if she could get an Epsom salt bath ready for Marie and to stay in there to help her in anyway. Rose nods to me, takes one last look at Marie, with a little pain expression in her eyes, and went to do what I have asked her.

After Marie finishes her final rep, all I see is a small puddle of both sweat and blood, coming from Marie's body, on both the floor and the exercise mat. Marie is panting very heavily and laying on her back. I quickly head over to her side and reposition her, so she is sitting up, to get air more smoothly into her better.

After her breathing becomes stable, I pick her up and look at her with a look of pride but with a hint of worry. I gently tell John to quickly go upstairs and into his playroom, for he doesn't need to see his sister in this position. He does what he is told with a look of worry in his eyes because he is truly worried about his older sister.

'I wish I had a bond with a sibling like my son and daughter do, but I don't have a sibling to make a bond with.' I think to myself while speed walking to the stairs with Marie in my arms.

Once I get upstairs, I quickly carry her to the second level and into the bathroom. Rose is outside the door, waiting on us. She sees Marie in my arms and quickly put her hands to her mouth. I quickly get Rose out of her trance and get her to help me with Marie into the bathroom. Rose gently grabs Marie out of my arms, telling me she has it under control and then kicks me out of the bathroom by slamming the door in my face.

Rose's POV:

'Oh Lisa, why did you have to go and push yourself past your body's limit?' I think to myself as I help my daughter get out of her workout clothes and into the tub.

She hisses at how hot the water is on her hurting limbs. But then she lets the heat from the Epsom salted water relax her body, almost to the point where she is almost falling asleep in the water. I smile at her and chuckle at her for almost falling asleep in the water.

I pour water on top of her head and when I deem her hair is soaked enough. I ask Lisa if she could slowly put her back to me and she slowly does. I then grab her fruity scented shampoo, and squeeze the bottle until I had enough to lather all of her hair. I then spread the shampoo onto both of my hands and lather up all of her hair.

She relaxes even more, when I am close to finish lathering her hair. I let the shampoo settle in her hair for a little bit. I grab a bar of soap and a washcloth. I soak the washcloth and then rub the soap on it. Then I hand her the bar of soap and help her soap up her back, while she does the rest of her body.

Once we finish soaping up her body, I then pour water on her head and body. I grab Lisa's fruity scented conditioner and her brush too. I place her brush on my lap and open her conditioner bottle. I did the same thing with the conditioner like the shampoo, but this time with a smaller amount. I close the bottle and evenly spread the conditioner onto my hands.

I then put my conditioned hands onto Lisa's hair to make it super soft. I grab her brush and brush all the knots out of her hair. There was a few times where I had to apologize to Lisa for pulling on her head too hard. But I am able to get out all the knots in her hair. I let Lisa rinse out her hair, while I grab her some towels to dry off her hair and body.

Callista's POV:

When mom went to go grab some towels for me, I slowly grab the plug to drain the tub. I slowly start to get up but I am a little shaky. So I wait for mom to come back into the bathroom with the towels. Mom comes back to the bathroom and help me get up and out of the tub. I grab the bigger towel to dry off my body, while I let mom dry off my hair with the smaller one.

I wrap my towel around my body, while mom finishes drying my hair. She helps me slowly walk out of the bathroom and to my room. It takes a while, but we're able to get there. She places me onto my bed and left my room to grab the first aid kit, which is in the restroom.

I slowly get up from my bed and to my dresser. I grab my important underclothes and my pj's too. I put my underclothes on first then my pj shorts. I then put the tank top on, one that still shows my shoulder. But I left my left sleeve off because I didn't want to get blood on it.

Mom comes back into my room with the first aid kit. She sits down on my right side first to tend to my leg. She opens the first aid kit to grab the rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. She dabs my leg but I hiss out in pain and whimper out, "mom please don't dab...hiss...the rubbing alcohol close...hiss...to my metal limbs. I don't want...hiss...to let my limbs...hiss...get rusted." She nods in understanding and avoids dabbing my metal limb.

It still hurt when the alcohol hit the wound. But I know the rubbing alcohol is doing its job of cleaning out any potential of infection in the wound.

"John can you come into your sister's room quickly, please." Mom calls out to him.

"Coming momma." I hear my little brother say back from downstairs, then his feet quickly padding on the floor and onto the stairs.

I see my little brother at my door, panting a little. Mom pats the right side of my bed and he gets up onto the side of my bed. "Okay all I need you to do is to make sure your sister doesn't move around, while I bandage her right leg." Mom tells him with a gentle smile on her face.

John nods in agreement and gently grabs my right shoulder. I tense a little when his hand gently lands on my shoulder. But I relax immediately after, to not make him think he is hurting me.

Mom grabs the medial pads first and places them around the bleeding area on my leg. Then she grabs the wrap to place around the padding on my leg.

After a few wraps around the padding, mom grabs the medical tape and have John tare off two pieces of the tape. He hands the pieces of tape to mom for her to put on the wraps, so they could stay on my leg. Mom gently pats my leg to tell me this one is done. Then she gets up and moves to my left side to do the same thing to my left arm.

My left arm is in a worse condition than my right leg, so I have John hold onto my right shoulder a little tighter. I knew this wound is going to hurt more than my leg.

I am right about how the pain is going to be worse, for I cried out in pain as the rubbing alcohol touched my skin. I hear dad come running from downstairs, up the stairs, and into my room. All he sees is me with tears in my eyes, John trying to get me to stop crying, and mom with the rubbing alcohol. I grab John and move him to my lap. I start to hug him around his waist and hide my head into his neck.

Dad walks into my room and sits down in the area John once sat at. He grabs my left hand under my right arm and hugging bro. Dad nods to mom for her to continue tending to my wounds. Right when she place the rubbing alcohol cotton ball on my shoulder, I squeeze dad's hand and bro's waist, along with hiding my head deeper into his neck. I keep whimpering at the pain until mom finishes disinfecting my wound, wrapping it in medical padding and the medical wrap to cover it.

After all that is over, I am starting to lose conscious but I kept on fighting to stay awake. "Hey John why don't you go and get your pj's on. I don't want to be alone when I go to sleep." I ask bro in a whisper voice.

He nods his head and gently gets out of my hold and quickly left my room to go get changed.

John's POV:

After gently leaving my sister's hold, I quickly get out of her room and into mine. I went to my drawer containing my pj's. I grab my pj's and close my drawer. I quickly get out of my clothes and into my pj's.

When I finish getting into my pj's, I quickly went into my sister and I's shared bathroom to brush my teeth. I grab my blue toothbrush and my toothpaste. I put my toothpaste on my toothbrush and put it into my mouth. I brush my teeth until all of my teeth are completely clean. I spit out the used toothpaste and wipe away any on my face.

After checking in the mirror for any on my face, but I didn't see any. So I quickly leave the bathroom and into my sister's room. I notice my sister is already under her covers. I quietly get into her bed and under her covers. I snuggle into her for warmth and I feel her wrap her arms around my small body. I start to feel sleepy from the warmth my sister is giving off. I then feel my eyes start to get heavy and having a hard time trying to keep my eyes open. But I let my eyes completely close and fell asleep.
