"What you mean by, you know?', I asked confused.
"Well, it's not the first time, I have seen ber using a dagger to close her wounds."
"Huh?"
"Well, she had a very strict childhood, you see. It's a technic her grandfather taught her after her mother supressed her vampiric powers, so that she can heal all by herself. Ghouls wounds are not easy to deal with. She comes from one of the powerful Hunters background what more do you expect? "
"Has been doing this, some time now?"
"Ever since, she came."
"And then, why didn't you stop her?"
"Don't ask obvious questions, you know the answer yourself. And to answer your upcoming question..yes only I know."
Florida is full of mystery, the more I get to know her, the more I feel distanced. How come I know nothing about a girl, I have been living with for years?
Jung slowly started dressing her wounds. As he dabbed the cotton with antiseptic on her wounds she started grimacing. For the first time in my life, I could feel other's pain. I felt wierd.
First he dressed her wounds in the leg and hip and then he brought his hand closer tk to her arm where there was a slash.
"Is it..', I asked slowly.
"Yes, where she cut her arm with the dagger."
I never liked when someone got hurt because of me, it felt I was in that person's debt. Now the more I look into it, the more I am getting indebted by her.
Jung poured the bottle of something pale crimson, Trouble winced.
Suddenly she opened her eyes, "Hey!", she whispered softly.
"How are you feeling?", Jung asked.
She tried to get up, Jung picked her up in his arms and pushed her towards the bed post and supported her back with the pillow.
"I need to disinfect the ghoul bite, if you allow?", he asked. "You wouldn't want Ruby to do it will you?"
"No you do it. I don't want her to use her power while she patches me away"
"Okay, she won't."
Jung removed the hem of her dress from her shoulder, I could see a huge bite mark on her shoulder, puss and blood was still coming out.
"This would hurt, do you want to hold me?", Jung asked.
She simply nodded.
She clasped her hand but kept her mouth shut. Jung poured the warm liquid directly over the bite wound.
Florida didn't wince, fresh tears started rolling, she was in deep pain but not a single sound came out. She was holding Jung's hand tightly, her breathe had got faster, she was panting.
After some time, she let go of his hand and nodded at him.
"How are you feeling?", I asked, as I came out of the shadow.
All the pain had kept her so hot and bothered she clearly didn't see me there.
She grew pale in fear.
"I..I a..am..o", she stammered.
"Rest. I will bring your food", I replied and walked out of the room quickly, closing the door behind me.
I am not ready to face her, yet.
I went downstairs, and entered the kitchen. Lee was cooking and Ruby was chopping the vegies.
"Want an extra hand", I asked.
"Shoo shoo. I don't want a jerk in mg kitchen", Ruby muttered.
"I am sorry sissy, I was overworked I didn't intend to shout." I rubbed my hand in my hair.
"Did you just apologize?", Ruby asked her eyes clearly shocked.
"I can say sorry", I huffed.
"Yeah, yeah. Sure", she mocked me.
Lee interrupted our banter and asked, "is she okay."
"She is", I answered.
