Chapter 2
658 Words
POV: Axel Stormhold
I must have been pacing back and forth watching the
stunning beauty sleep. This Dr. Black, her first name was
Talon, if I recall. Her dark black hair had been neatly
braided when she patched me up, but now laid messily
around her rounded square face. She smelled of a forest after a heavy rain and Gardenia's with a hint of a sea salted breeze.
When I entered the ER I had just been looking for a place to hide out; I didn't expect this beauty with dark hair and blue eyes to patch me up and then fight back when the hellspawn attacked. She really was something else.
I called Ipomoea to come to the hallow study, and I needed her help. While Ipomoea was a Fae, her gifts weren't like that of her kin. Fae were known for the prophetic dreams. Ipomoea's dreams were of sporadic images. She would say,'It's like a jigsaw puzzle, but I don't have all the pieces'. This dip in her natural born gift made her a strong healer.
Speak of the devil, I could smell that Ipomoea had entered the building. she smelled of fresh dirt and honeysuckle.
"Axel, what's going on?" she asked me as she entered the study
I pointed to the couch and said, "I was attacked by Hellspawn in a human ER. She fought against them with me. One of them hit her, and she injured her head."
Moea, as I sometimes called her, looked to where I had pointed at the sleeping woman on the couch. Her eyes grew large mouth agape.
"A human?" which came out as more of an exclamation than a question, "You said she was fighting alongside you against the hellspawn? she wasn't scared?" she asked, wanting to confirm what I had told her. Moea had fluttered around the couch and was now sitting beside the woman who helped me.
"That's right, there was not an ounce of fear in her. I believe her name is Talon black. She has been out for a few hours now." I said.
"I'll check her over." she replied. Ipomoea began scanning her over, and once she was satisfied, she started taking plants out of her bag and bending them together.
I had stopped pacing now. I was sure Ipomoea would be able to help her. Moea looked to me and motioned for me to come over.
"I'll need your help with this part." she said, and I nodded.
"Her body is under a lot of stress trying to heal. I'm going to need you to hold her head back and her mouth open while I pour this herbal mix in. She needs to swallow all of it. it will help her body relieve the tension
I lifted Talon's head and shoulders, sat on the couch
behind her, and then I laid her back down. I tilted her head
back with one hand and held her mouth open with the
pther. l looked Moea in the eyes and nodded.
"I'm ready," I said. she nodded back.
Moea poured her mixture down Talon's throat. Talons body
started to twitch and shake. I looked at Moea with
concern. She didn't even look up at me, but she knew I was
looking and that I was concerned.
"This is normal, Axel. Just keep her mouth open." She said.
As soon as we got Talon to swallow the last of the herbal
mixture, her body stopped shaking. I was paced again and
raked my hand through my shaggy hair with relief. I didn't
know if I could have handled it any longer. This woman
this doctor had a strange old over me; not just because
she helped me. There was something familiar about her
yet something unexplainable.
She should wake up soon." Ipomoea stated
Not even 2 minutes later, another voice sounded in the
room.
"Who the hell are you?" Talon asked, sitting upright on the
couch.
