It was nightti.
The rain outside was waving in heavily. Droplets of water fell over the tin walls of a small house at the far end of the town of Hyfelia where it was filled with trees. If soone were to scream out in pain at this place, it would be very hard for it to be heard.
Suddenly, without any notice, the small door to the house started to bang.
"KNOCK" "KNOCK" "KNOCK"
A grown of annoyance rang out.
"KNOCK" "KNOCK" "KNOCK"
"I'm coming! I'm coming! Knock you hoofs for a second!" The person inside said as he got up from his bed and wore his glasses. Looking at the small mirror beside his bed-table, the person revealed to be the doctor.
The sa doctor who had checked on our protagonist at the very start.
The doctor didn't care about his appearance nor did he tried to fix them. He just got up that way and went to open the door. The night was already quite dark, no matter who had co for help, he was going to turn them away.
For him, a good night's sleep is necessary. Because his days are full of people with the sa disease or death. It had been so much so that the doctor's feelings towards people had gradually co to a slow stop.
"KNOCK" "KNOCK" "KNOCK"
"I said I'm coming!" He loudly yelled, thinking that might have reached those waiting outside. He quickly ca and opened his door, ready to yell at the imbecile who had disturbed his sweet sleep.
"Do you even realize what ti i-" The words got struck in his throat.
Outside, it was pretty dark and with the addition of the rain, it was even harder for soone to see who it was.
"BANG!"
But as the lighting struck a tree a few kiloters away, the montary flash of light illuminated the people who were standing outside. Seeing who stood at front, spread fear in the heart of the doctor.
"It's You!"
"Yes, it's ." I gave him a smile as another lightning strike flashed behind , making it as dark as necessary. "Aren't you going to let in, doctor?" I say to the man who had a face full of disbelief.
Hearing , he shook for a mont and his plan of kicking anyone out went dead. He stepped away from the door as and the others ca inside.
Looking inside, it was even smaller than I thought. Only a bed, table and so accessories, not sothing a doctor couldn't afford but it was just too less. I thought his house would be bigger than it is, but who would have known his true agenda.
Walking around the house, I saw the doctor carefully follow us around, not a word in mouth so I said, "What's wrong doctor?"
"Hmm?"
"You're giving the expression of soone who's seen a ghost." My words had an imdiate effect as his eyes widened in fear before he cald himself.
"Wh- What do you an… It's nothing like that, I… was asleep so this might be a side effect from it."
I nodded, "Well you're the doctor so I guess you would know."
"Why are you here?" The doctor asked, albeit a bit rudely which made frown as I turned to him.
"Excuse ?"
Sensing the atmosphere, the doctor changed his words, "I ant, what do you want?"
"You see, my friend here," I pointed to Jacob who was clutching to his leg, "Is hurt. Can you take a look at him and tell us what's wrong?"
The doctor nodded and told them to follow him to the other room where he did his work. Laying down on the operating bed, the doctor took so ti at his leg before he shook his head.
"Normal recovery is out of the way; I need to amputate this part of the leg."
Jacob frowned, "Isn't there any other way then cutting my leg off?"
"No" The doctor flatly refused, "Whoever did this, did it knowing that it would be an everlasting damage." His words imdiately gained a pissed off look from Jacob.
"What if I don't want to cut off the leg?"
"Then an infection might spread over your whole leg and then the pain might be so huge that you would beg for it to be cut off." The doctor said so lightly that Jacob couldn't help but scoff.
"Wow doctor, so much for helping with my ntal fortitude."
"I am telling you this so that you would know. If we do the amputation in a few days, then we would only need to cut off from the knee part and then you can just get a prosthetic and it would feel as a new leg." The doctor said, finished with his work, placing his tools at the wall behind.
I nod at the doctor, "So doc, do you have any painkillers?"
"Yes, I do."
"How about this one?" I pull out a specific one.
Looking back at it, the doctor took a few monts before saying, "Yeah I have those too. They are for extre cases when you need to stop the pain when they reach quite high degrees but they only work for a while."
"Extre cases… such as a young assassin trying to kill the town noble and his son?"
The doctor stopped in his tracks before he resud again, "I don't know what you are talking about?" Then he turned around and said, "You can go now."
"Why so hasty, doc?"
"I've looked at your friend already and it is quite late, I would like to get so sleep before morning cos." He said, his eyes avoiding mine.
I nod, sympathetically, "Of course, you do." I walk around him, "You're the town doc, the only one. Of course you're busy all day with patients."
"But I don't get why you would give refuge to soone who killed your boss and is trying to kill his only son."
At my words, the doctor shook for a mont before he pulled out a scalpel and lunged at . Which was quickly prevented by both Raven and Jacob, who didn't seem the least bit hurt now as they lay him down on the bed.
"You're gonna die, you bastard!" He scread, "You think you'll get away with this!"
"I'm sure nature is on my side today, doc." I said while wearing one of his gloves and a mask, "Now be a good man and tell everything I want to know."
"Fuck YOU!"
I smile seeing his disobedience.
"Doc… did you know, there are more than two hundred bones in the human body?" Hearing , the eyes of his widen in fear as I smile.
