Waking

I was disoriented for a long time, in and out of sleep for how long, I didn't know. When finally I could think at all, I was in my bed, but it was not Lara holding me.

"Who?" I asked through a thick tongue.

"Scarlett," was the answer. And then I slept again.

The next time, I asked, "Lara?"

"Angel," she said.

"Lara?"

"She is fine," Angel said. "Exhausted, but fine."

"The babies?"

"They are also fine."

I started to cry, and then I slept.

The next time I woke, I said, "Who?"

"Oh Little Fox," and I was in Lara's arms.

"I'm so sorry," I said. "Oh god, Lara, I'm so sorry. I didn't believe you. I didn't believe any of you."

"Shhh," she said, rocking me. "It's not your fault."

"It is," I said. "I'm so sorry."

"No. We'll talk about it later."

I opened my eyes. We were in bed, sitting up, and Lara had her arms wrapped around me. "The babies?"

"They are fine."

"I am so sorry," I said.

"Everyone is fine."

"He is an animal."

"I know."

"Bathroom," I said. "Then take me downstairs. I'll fall asleep again." Paused. "You can't carry me now. Call someone to carry me."

"Oh honey," she said. "We can stay here."

"What time?"

"Mid-morning."

"Bathroom. Call someone. What day?"

"Thursday."

I tried counting. I couldn't. "How many days?"

"Eight since you were taken until today."

I started to cry. "I'm so sorry."

"Shhh," she said. And then she was on the phone. "Send someone strong upstairs."

A minute later, Elisabeth entered. I was still crying quietly.

"You're awake," she said. "Are you hurt?"

"I'm so sorry, Elisabeth."

"She feels guilty," Lara said. "She needs you to help her to the bathroom. I think she wants you to carry her. Then she wants to go downstairs."

Elisabeth crossed the room and checked me carefully. Then she pulled me from Lara's arms, and I wrapped my arms around her neck as she picked me up. She started to set me on my feet, but I cried louder. "Please carry me, Elisabeth."

"All right," she said. And she carried me into the bathroom, then helped me undress enough.

"Do you want me to wait?"

"Yes. I might fall over."

"All right." She steadied me. I wasn't even embarrassed about it anymore. I fumbled at everything I needed to do, my limbs still barely working.

"They drugged me."

"I know. The woman who gave you to me told me they gave you as much as they thought they could so you would sleep as long as possible. They told us to expect this."

"They were trying to be kind."

She helped me stand and steadied me at the sink. Then I turned and almost fell. She picked me up. "Are you sure you want to go downstairs?"

I laid my head on her shoulder. "Yes. Help me stay awake. Feed me. I am going to try to flush the drug."

"It won't work," Elisabeth said. "We talked to the doctors. You have to let it run its course."

"Perhaps my healing ability makes a difference."

"I doubt it," she said. "But we'll do whatever you ask."

"Downstairs, then bring Lara down. Then I want my friends. I want touching." I started to cry again.
