Maya’s POV
By the time I work up, it was the usual experience. Everyone ran helter skelter as they tried to revive me. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life play out.
“Everyone!” I shouted, but it was like they couldn’t hear me. That was when I noticed something illuminating where I was. It was a bright white light.
“What’s going on?” My voice echoed greatly.
Then I realized that I was in a dream, but nothing was making sense. Everywhere I as in chaos and I was trying to grasp something, but nothing worked and I felt unalive. Perhaps, I was.
I ran around and tried to touch everyone, tapping them so they would see me, but it didn’t work out. I gave up and I finally had hope that someone was seeing and hearing me.
I heard my name, “Maya, Maya!” Somebody was shaking me.
Just then I revived and came back to life. It was crazy.
Elora was standing above me, but I could barely move my body. “Wake up wake up,” she said again.
I opened my eyes fully and shouted, “I’m awake, I’m awake.”
I tried to sit on my back, but it wasn’t working out. “Oh sh*t, I cant move again.” I lamented.
“It’s fine, let me take you to your room.” She pulled me up and lifted me on her chest. It was insane, I was surprised she managed to.
She had a young face, but she had explained she was older earlier and I wasn’t expecting that much power.
She took me to my room and dropped me on the bed.
“Thank you very much. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” I was in tears already. It’s as frustrating how much I caused everyone to worry whenever I would get like this.
“It’s fine. It’s fine. I’ll prepare something for you, just stay calm.” She held my hand and talked to me calmly. It was soothing to an extent.
Elora’s POV
I left the poor little lady on her bed and walked out of the room. I didn’t know where I would start from, but maybe I could pick some herbs in their garden, I told myself.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Outside the room, I was met with someone who I assumed was Venom’s mother.
“Hey there.” She called it to me.
“Hi, good evening.” I greeted the woman.
“Do you need anything? Maybe I could help with it,” the woman suggested.
“No, I think I’m fine. I just need to pick a few herbs for Maya.” I explained to her.
“What’s wrong with her?” She asked.
” She’s unwell and I need to pick some things that I could maybe use in treating her.”
She called dro a guard to come so that the person would guide me, I didn’t see the value in that but I accepted and we both left the house.
I went to their garden which was mostly filled with ornamental flowers and there was barely anything useful in it.
“Is there a forest anywhere here? I need to pick up a few things.” I told the guard.
He looked at me surprised and asked for the specific leaves that I wanted. I had to explain them to him since he didn’t understand.
Picking of the herbs I needed was usually done by myself even when I had my son over. I liked it that way. The thoughts of losing Larry bothered me and I was almost teary.
The guard had led us out of the gates where we were supposed to go find a forest that had the herbs I needed.
Venom’s mate wasn’t sickly, it didn’t seem like it. Her body was undergoing a transformation, but I wasn’t sure I understood everything going on yet.
The herbs would be to get her to act normal for a bit before she got any other extra things to get her to feel well.
After couple of searches that I had made with the guard, I couldn’t find anything tangible that I would use.
I almost gave up when I saw something familiar. It was a blood flower. It was something that was usually used on werewolves that were undergoing their respective transformations as children.
I would help to calm their growing pains and I suspected that was what affecting Maya, but I couldn’t decide it.
“I think I’ve found what I want. Let’s return.” I assessed the guard.
He had a tired expression on his face. I understood him, iwe had been in the bushes for nearly an hours without finding anything tangible at all.
He led the way out and we returned back home.
Understanding that Maya had gotten well before Venom returned the day he had come to find me , I assumed the same would be happening, but when we got in, she was still in the same situation.
“Thanks be to the gods that you’re back.” Venom approached me once I got in.
” She’s not well yet?” I asked.
” No, she’s just like last time.”
I got out the block flower that I had picked with the guard and prepared it in a kettle which I assumed would be enough to get her in her normal state before we would determine if she was transforming or mostly unwell.
As werewolves, there was little normal medicines and doctors would do in helping us since we didn’t take the same dosages as humans and didn’t need the same things.
Our races even had to be in hiding in fear of the battle that would happen if otherwise.
I got to their kitchen and a young man had followed behind me so he could help out.
The people were quite loving, that’s for sure. I got in and began to prepare what I could do with the little herbs that they had in the kitchen.
“I thought you were a witch.” The man said. Sorry, the young boy
“Of course, I am. Doesn’t mean I don’t use physical things to heal people. We’re more than the title.”
