Harmony in the World

[WolfOfProphecys]

John sighed, and gently took Tegus's hand and linked it with his daughters, hoping he would be able to wake her

 

[Telios]

Tegus stayed asleep on his side of the bed, unknowingly squeezing Ash's hand.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash unknowingly squeezed back, but no one seemed to notice the impossible movement

 

[Telios]

Tegus soon woke up a while later, continuing to hold Ash's hand and unknowingly squeezed it.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash again squeezed back. It was the middle of the night, the parents had been forced to leave, so it was only the two of them

 

[Telios]

".....Ash?" Tegus asked, slowly turning his head to her.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash's red eyes suddenly snapped open but, because of the tube down her throat helping her breathe, she buckled, panicking

 

[Telios]

"Ash! Calm down...!" Tegus said half happy, half worried.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash didn't seem to hear him, making small noises as she bucked and writhed, trying to get rid of the tube

 

[Telios]

"Doctor!" Tegus called while trying to calm Ash down.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

A doctor ran in, and gently placed a hand on Ash's shoulder, looking bewildered and confused as to how she was even awake, and gently instructed her to cough as he removed the tube. Once he did so, he placed a small cub of ice chips on Tegus's lap, "A few of these only for her" he said softly, checking her over before leaving

 

[Telios]

"Ash..." Tegus said happily, smiling at her.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash looked at him, and tried to move, realising her hands and wrists were tied to the bed, likely because of her suicidal tendencies. She looked at him instead, "T-T....?" She rasped

 

[Telios]

"Yes...I'm here..." Tegus nodded while slowly got up and picked up the cub of ice chips the doctor gave to him.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash smiled slightly at him, "W-Why a-a-am I t-t-tied u-up?" She rasped in question

 

[Telios]

"It's a long...story..." Tegus sighed and started to give her the ice chips.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash whimpered, but made a small noise as the ice was placed on her tongue. It melted quickly, sliding down her throat

 

[Telios]

Tegus continued to give her the ice chips.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash happily took them, then lay still, trying to get the restraints off

 

[Telios]

Tegus slowly slid down onto his bed as the cub of ice chips slowly emptied. Soon it was nothing while Tegus fell asleep again.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash managed to get the restraints off, and wobbled over to his bed, curling up beside him

 

[Telios]

Tegus unknowingly hugged Ash and smiled, happy that she is fine.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash snuggled into his embrace, falling asleep

 

[Telios]

Next morning... Around 8 AM, Tegus woke up while still hugging Ash close.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Ash's mother and father were both watching the two with smiles


Ash was still asleep
