Ch 10 Road to Recovery

EDITED

[Recap From Ch 9: The guys faced off with Diak but Diak escaped. Sara was kidnapped by Marminy and tortured. The guys then rescued Sara and nearly took out Marminy]

Murciél was sitting by Sara's beside, wires coming off of her from all over. Her body was covered in wounds and bruises that were now cleaned and covered with gauze. She was in a private room in the facility and had a large half wall window that ran the full length of the room straight across from the door and had a long couch and single chair below it. Her en suit was to the left of the room where her bed was to the right. The walls were a soft blue with a white trim and the scheme followed into the bathroom. There were machines beeping and whirring making sure her vitals were stable and she could breathe properly.

"Her body has been through a lot of trauma" Mala'ika said "I'll heal her and we can take her home when it's safe to move her" they nodded. Mala'ika put his hand on her head and another on her belly and fully extended his wings curling them protectively over her body and began to cast the healing spell. His body began to glow a golden, off-white and his aura spread from him to Sara. He got to work on her internal wounds first, because she wouldn't survive the other wounds if her organs started to give out.

Then he got to work on the next biggest issue, her knee. He took his time reforming the base, her bone, then reconnecting the joints, tendons and ligaments. Then he worked on realigning the muscles and attaching them properly to the bone. She was lucky it was just the bone shattering and it didn't break through but the doctors made sure with x-rays so they could tell if she needed immediate surgery or not.

The guys watched as the cuts and bruises disappeared as if they had never been. Mala'ika pulled his aura back and realized it had been almost an hour from when he started. They all watched her breath, the oxygen mask steaming up and clearing with her exhale and inhale. The doctor came into the room and greeted the gentlemen. "I'm sure you've seen to her injuries but I would still like to run some tests to make sure there's nothing we missed. I recommend waiting till she wakes up to move her but if the tests are all clear you can decide." He informed them.

"Of course" Hele replied, never taking his eyes off Sara. "I'll send in the nurse then" the doctor said before leaving the room. "The rancher is prepared and my pack has already secured the surrounding area. I have a full medical staff, also werewolf, and we got all the supplies she'd need." Hele informed the others.

Hele didn't like the city life much and his home was in what is now modern day Montana. However Murciél told him about the plot of land for sale upstate and Hele couldn't pass it up, now he's glad he didn't. Over a thousand acres of untouched land and forest, it would be perfect for the entire family, especially when they started having kids. The image of her belly swollen with his pups made him smile and he held back his tears.

The nurse came in not long after the doctor left and drew some blood for the test. Of course they came back all clear. "I think we should wait for her to wake up" Balaur suggested caressing her left cheek with his knuckles softly. They all agreed and took turns sleeping and watching over her.

Sometime around 1 in the evening the next day they heard a stomach gurgle and Sara started to fidget on the bed, she had been asleep for almost 2 days straight and they had begun to worry that her mind couldn't handle the toll and shunt down into a coma. They all shot up and practically ran to her side. Mahō, Hele and Cythraul to her right, Mala'ika at the foot with Balaur and Murciél to her left. Sara opened her eyes slowly, she could tell she didn't have any of the injuries that Marminy inflicted on her but her body still felt slight ghost pains.

Looking around she realised she was in a hospital of some kind and that her boys had rescued her. "Morning princess" Cythraul said first, his voice laced with love and care. Sara immediately burst into tears and Murciél had to use a magic suggestion to calm her down "relaja(relax) Mi Amor, mi vida. You're safe, it's okay now" he whispered to her. They all had to fight back their own tears, seeing her like this broke them to their smallest and they would never let it happen again. Against all their efforts, their own tears started to roll silently as Sara finally started to calm down and Murciél lifted the oxygen mask while Hele passed him a tissue.

"Thanks " she said softly, her voice was strained and her throat felt like sandpaper. She looked to Cythraul and flipped him off and he placed his hand over his heart and gasped with feigned offence "I'm hurt" he said and they started to laugh, "yeah and I'm a queen' she retorted and they laughed harder. "Indeed you are awydd, indeed you are" he agreed.

Mala'ika spoke next "you've been through a lot... I healed you but we wanted you to wake before we moved you. Healing can be a lot on the body surprisingly so we'll take it a few days at a time okay?" he informed her. "Kay" was all she could manage. The nurse had helped Sara up and into the bathroom to shower, removing the bandages she no longer needed. Sara changed into the clothes Mahō provided, a large T-shirt, definitely one of theirs and some gray sweats with some fuzzy socks.

"Ready to go baby girl?" Hele asked, helping her into the wheelchair. She groaned finally getting comfortable in the chair, "ugh yes Daddy" she replied and her hand flew to her mouth too late. 'Fuck' she though to herself and looked up, Hele had a ear to ear smile "good girl" he said and kissed the top of her head maneuvering her out of the room.

"What do you want to eat, I'll grab food for us and meet you back at the house" Balaur asked. "PIZZA!" Sara exclaimed throwing her arms into the air "with everythang" she added and they laughed. "Sure thing luminea mea" he replied and kissed her cheek. "WAIT!" Sarah yelled causing the guys to panic into defensive mode. Once they realized nothing was wrong they looked at her confused.

"No fucking pineapple on that damn pizza or so help me God Balaur I will end your scaley, fire breathing existence, understood?!" Some of the guys started to chuckle, others dead panned and Balaur nodded "Understood lumina mea." Everyone got onto the elevator and headed down to the waiting SUVs, Balaur heading out to get the food and everyone else heading to the ranch.
