Tending wounds

Ellen opens his eyes with great difficulty and realizes he was lying in a hospital bed with drips and other instruments attached to his body. he tries to sit up but winces as realizes that the headache was nowhere gone. looking around, he wonders how he got there as the last thing he remembered was blacking out in the restaurant.talking about restaurants, the door to the room opens and the lady from the restaurant walks in holding a Thermos flask and another paper bag in her hand.

she closes the door and walks in as Ellen opens his mouth to speak but no words came out. He closes his mouth and stares at the lady as she walks to the cupboard and drops the items on it then turns back to him.

"Hi!, and olive, how are you doing?"

Ellen Stares at her from her olive coloured skin to her dark brown hair, down to her eyes that had specks of brown in them to her feet.

Olive seeing Ellen who hadn't spoken a word since she got into the room and the way he gazed at her, she is forced to look down at herself then back at him asking.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Ellen seeing the awkward atmosphere forcefully clears his throat and speaks with a dry voice.

"Hi!, am Ellen"

He glances up at her.

"And thanks for bringing me here!" he pauses and then adds.

"Am very grateful to you!"

Olive smiles at his attempt at speaking boldly and walks closer to him.

"There's no problem, I saw you black out and took permission from work to bring you here!"

Ellen looks down not knowing what to say again and only mutters and "oh!" and the room turns awkward again with the silence. but, that is soon to be broken as footsteps approach the room and the both turn to the door.

"Ah, I think your parent are here already!" Olive mutters and Ellen gazes at her.

"you informed my parent, how_, how did you know them?"

Olive smiles as the door opens and Ellen's mother Rebecca rushes and over to the bed followed by his Father Joachim.

Edward sits in the back of the car with Tricia who was still in an unconscious state in his hands as Xavier sat in the front passengers sit and Xanier and the drivers seat as the headed back home.

As the car moved on, the air blew in from the window and her hair which was let loose scatters over her face. Edward pushes her hair away from her face and stared at it as he muttered

"sorry!"

for the um tempt time to her.

"Am sorry for not being there and not finding you earlier!"

He mutters again and finally leans back on the car seat as the car sped along the road.

After half have and hour, the car pulls out high way and into another lane. It goes on for some minute and finally stops in front a huge black gate that rolled and the car passed in.when the car finally stopped moving, the doors flew open and the Withheald brothers step out and head inside the house

Tricia is laid on the bed in her room as the family doctor was been contacted. Elien Withheld sat by the side and held her hand staring into her face and hoping for her to wakeup. In less than ten minutes, the doctor arrived and he was laid into the room. After a careful examination had been run, he assured them of no complications and that her being unconscious was only as a result of fright.

Days passed by smoothly as Tricia woke up and was recurporating in her room.although she was been monitored closely to ensure no complications followed. At the other side, Ellen had been discharged the next day as nothing was found unusual about him.

slowly, a week passed and Tricia was up on her feet ready to resume her

daily live activities. by now, she had forgotten about the dream she had and was back to normal. Also, Ellen seemed to be back to normal as he hadn't experienced any more headaches and he couldn't be more thankful about it.

Slowly, a month passed by, and the whole incident was forgotten but the security system of the Withhealds had been upgraded more strictly. Everyone thought that life was back to normal, but who knew that, that was just the begining.
