The path to recovery....

Keefe's Pov .

I watched as Sophie's eye twitched every few minutes. I watched as her emotions spiked and lowered I watched as I felt all her pain. But it must have been worse for her. And to think his mother did this to her. He always thought she was the better parent.... But that was wrong. Way wrong. He looked back to Sophie who had scars tracing from her lip up to her ear as if it was cut with a knife. I had asked Elwin what the worst of her injuries were and he said "her back." He thought the cut on her face was bad. He could bear to think about what they did to her while she was there. He begged Elwin for something any information that he could tell him about foster.

"I'm going to have to give her another sedative soon and sandor I'm going to need your help moving Sophie onto her stomach I haven't had the chance to look at the injury well enough.Keefe you should probably leave this is going to be messy"

"What!?! Elwin no I have to stay I want to help her!"

"Keefe I don't want you seeing this.."

Keefe sighed he couldn't fight Elwin. Then a thought came to him. " but foster is going to need her emotional breezes!!!"

Elwin thought for a moment and then hesitated and nodded.

"But if at any point it becomes to much please feel free to leave."

I nodded. And Sandor walked over to Sophie and gently or as gentle as a 7 foot goblin could, turned Sophie and lifted of her blanket. I couldn't help but gasp and tear up at the sight of her back. The medicine must have not stopped the bleeding completely because it was still leaking down from where she looked to have been sliced. I gasped again as I came to a realization.

"What?" Elwin asked me curiously.

"I-I those cuts the-they look like Alvar's"

Sandor let out a gasp and nodded "I remember, the torture device is from the orges."

"So they tortured her like they did to Alvar?" I said my voice barley audible.

Elwin walked over to Sophie and touched the edge of the scar. I flinched at the rocketing pain. "DON'T" I shouted. "Sorry"I mumbled "but I can feel the pain."

Elwin nodded. And then shined all kinds of colourful lights on her back. Then he scribbled a messy drawing in his book. Then he turned it to  Sandor and me.
"The weapon seemed to pierce underneath the skin leaving only slight damage on the outside but on the inside there is a big gap and her body is rapidly trying to grow it but the cuts are so precise that it looks like the skin can't regrow.

"So she can't get better?" I asked fearfully.

Elwin sighed and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. I will see what me and livvy can come up with but I don't know how to stop the bleeding enough to keep her healthy for long.

I started shaking of fear and I leaned in the wall.

"So she won't make it?" Sandor asked his voice desperate.

"Not unless I can find the pattern fast enough to make a serum ..."

I let out a chocked sob. Elwin had tears spilling from his eyes and I saw Sandor turn away when a tear trickled down his cheek.

Elwin started wrapping her wounds silent tears leaking down his cheeks. I sat on a cot on the far end of the room sobbing. ugly chocked sobbing but I didn't care.

Ummmm so that was sad. This story is getting depressing. Whoops, that my fault. Any way. Hope Sophie can make it!
