Ophy covered her face and wanted to dig a hole on the ground. She's still in bed so she couldn't.
"Can I be alone for a while? I need to rest." She mumbled but everyone was able to hear what she said.
Everyone agreed even the stubborn mule Ant. They all went out, albeit reluctantly. They wanted to stay with her and check if her body is really ok, and with no relapse happening. But they knew she's in a safe place. They're in the hospital for pete's sake!
Ophy needed to calm her self down and digest everything that happened.
'Was everything a dream? That would be a freaking long ass dream. 5,000 years ain't a joke.'
She's in the state of denial and confusion. She wanted to believe that she's back in her old world. She prayed to all the gods and goddesses she could find that this day would come true. She already gave up this thought when she started her empire. Since she's an immortal might as well use it.
Sadly, no one answered her freaking long prayer so she continued to live on while ruling as a Lord.
She's happy that she's back and somehow felt cheated. She worked her ass off for it to go down the drain. But then it was a bargaining chip she would gladly trade.
She was glad to finally see her 'family' and her obnoxiously handsome devil boss.
'Whoever higher entity being you are, thank you for bringing me back!' She prayed her thanks.
She wanted to check herself in the mirror if there was any changes in her face or body. She did look different when she was in the other world, might as well check if she retain or still the same ol' plain jane.
She moved her legs and got down from the hospital bed to go to the restroom, she almost forgot she was connected by a dextrous.
Yuck!
She felt so weak but happily alive. While she attempted to walk to the washroom, she wobbled and was about closing in on the floor and kissed the ground that smells like cleaning bleach.
"Ptooey!" Double yuck!
"He... hhhhelp!" She screamed on the top of her lungs. She couldn't reach the control to alert the nurse.
It was embarrassing. She just kissed a stranger and now she's kissing a floor. 'Wow, human to inanimate object. Drastic improvement there Ophy!' Sarcastically said to her self.
"Oh my dear, Let me help you there." The nurse named Mary chimed in and rushed to her aid.
'Wow she's strong for an old nurse.' Ophy saw a curly short white hair and was wear a comfy nurse uniform.
"Do you need anything?" Mary asked.
"Ahhhm... May I use the washroom please?" Ophy bashfully asked. Nurse Mary's sweet aura was contagious.
"Oh, you don't need to go to the washroom. You still have a urinal catheter connected in you. You didn't noticed it, dear?" She replied.
She looked down on her leg, there it was, an inconspicuous small tube dangling between her legs, and something yellow liquid passing through the tube.
She didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry. She wanted to cry, really wanted to.
"I... I really wanted to go to the washroom to check myself...mirror..." This time she really wanted to dig a massive hole underneath her feet, to cover herself from all accumulated embarrassment in a span of few minutes.
"Oh, don't be shy my dear. Rest in bed and I'll get you a hand mirror so not to aggravate your body. Your doctor will come in shortly to check on you." Mary smiled at her. She so professional. Mary might have witnessed this many times on other patients.
Mary helped her to settle in the bed.
When the nurse left her, she reflected on things just now.
'This so inconvenient. I wish I still have my powers and skills... and money, perhaps?'
While brooding on her clumsiness, there was a knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, Ophelia Victoux I pressumed?' A person donned on a white coat and stethoscope hanging around his neck like any doctor would. He seems young to be a doctor or he just have good genes. She've seen so many gorgeous people back then, that she was immune to such eye candy.
"Yes, that's me." Ophy replied.
The doctor was somewhat amazed with her since most of the patients were fawning on him with every chance they get. He was grateful of her.
"I'm Dr. Marc. Let check you vitals, and a medical technician will draw some blood samples and urine sample on you later. If every is a ok, we can discharge you as soon as possible."
Dr. Marc was very professional on talking to about her situation and asked him what to do and not to do when she's gets out. She's grateful that her body was ok aside from the small aches and bruised from the fall. She was lucky that she survived in that nasty fall.
It was a god send to her ear that she to be discharge as soon as possible. Ophy just wanted to go home and take a verrrryyyyy long bath. That's her mission once she gets out of the hospital.
Nurse Mary came in with a hand mirror on hand and pass it to her. When she saw her face, she wanted to cry this time. Her face was banged up. She what to describe it in more detail but her heart ached and wanted to keep it to her self.
'My other world face is gone... Huhuhu!'
She really wanted to throw the hand mirror but gave it to Mary instead. She's a big girl, she doesn't want anyone to see her having a tantrum or acted like a spoiled child.
After they left, another person came in, and told her that she was the technician mentioned.
'Finally, on my own at last.'
There was something building up inside that wanted to get out. She couldn't let go and bawled her eyes out. She covered her face with her pillow and cried her heart out.
All those lonely days and straining nights, she wanted to get everything all out in her system. She still never thought this day would come. It was unbelievable to say that it took her many years just to get out of that hellish limbo. She also wondered why she hadn't gone insane with those years.
She didn't mind starting over again. And just so happened she wanted to try a spell if it really works in this world.
'Better try than never. Let's see...'
[Heal]
Nothing happened. No bright light, no shimmering, not even a 'ohh ahh' sound.
'Shit! I gave the hand mirror to Mary. Oh well, I better rest then.'
It was the best restful night she ever had, and slept like a new born baby until day break when Mary saw her face.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
"What the hell, Mary!" Ophy couldn't help but shouted at Mary. She immediately woke up from being startled, and then felt disoriented from the sudden movement. She was wondering why her nurse was screaming at her.
"What's wrong?"
Mary was praying and putting a sign of the cross like someone just made a miracle or something scary happened.
Mary rushed out without saying anything to her. At least explain to her what happened. Right now is also freaking out.
Dr. Marc and Mary came in to the her room and they all looked shell shocked at her.
"What? Say something!" It was getting out of hand when Mary pass her the hand mirror she used yesterday.
There it was...
"The heck!!!"
All her bruised were gone but what's really shocking was her face... and hair.
