Chapter 201 One soul, four soul eaters
She grabbed Elora forcefully by the shoulders, shook her like a rag doll and forced the woman to look her in the eyes. "Listen to me," she said sternly, "the doctor will be here soon and he will ask for your details. We or you need to adjust as many things as you can and claim amnesia, you don't remember your past or how you were injured.?According to your brother's research, some of the people that harmed you and your family are still alive and thriving so your identities cannot be exposed in any way. From now on, you are not Varakas, choose another name. Also, if your face has not changed in the slightest over the past few years we are going to have to change it surgically so that you cannot be recognized. I know you are grieving but listen to me again, you are not Elora Varakas of the house Varakas from now on, you must become someone else. Pick a name, we have ten seconds of privacy left."
She had just finished explaining this when the doors opened automatically and in Tion walked with a flustered professor Sham who looked ill prepared. It almost looked like he had been sleeping when Tion dragged him here.
"I brought the doctor." Tion announced and he resumed his position, standing in the corner.
"Mmm, thank you." Scarlet replied and she glanced slowly at Elora. "Thank you too for coming professor Sham, I apologize for having you brought here under unclear circumstances."
"It's no problem governor, I am here to serve you." Professor Sham replied. "Who is the patient?"
Scarlet gripped Elora's hand tight one last time, reminding her of what they had just discussed and she stepped aside, allowing the professor to get his first look at the two women.?"It's them."
Professor Sham was a professional doctor indeed, he took in the injuries with a stride. He neither winced or looked on them with disgust but there was a hint of pity in his eyes. "You must have been in terrible pain when this happened to you," he approached Elora and said, "I will do my best to heal you."
"Thank you," Elora replied stonily.
Professor Sham tapped his terminal and accessed the hospital data base via a hologram which they could all see. It looked like he was preparing to enter their details into the system. "I will require a few details form you like your names, how you were injured and how long you have had the injuries..."
"That will not be necessary professor." Scarlet cut him off. "Just their names and injuries, they were attacked by space pirates."
Professor Sham closed his terminal and he looked at Scarlet quizzically, "Is this a matter you want off the records governor?"
"Yes, professor, I would rather that this stays between us for now." she confirmed. The professor caught on quickly.
Professor Sham in understanding, when dealing with nobles, royals and governors, there was always secrecy involved in one way or the other.?"I will still need to keep notes on the course of treatment so I will need names or initials." he explained.
"Lora Storm." Elora said, "I am Lora, and this is my daughter Arya Storm. We were attacked on our way here to meet the governor a year ago and both of us have been sleeping in pods since then."
Professor Sham nodded, but he looked at mother and daughter doubtfully. Those scars were skin deep, the injuries were more than a year old. He could guess that maybe five years. The young woman too was missing a leg, AI realistic prosthetics were available cheaply, why did she have none? But it was not in his position to ask personal questions. He was a healer, not an investigator. "Should I start with you or your daughter miss Lora?" he asked.
"My daughter." Elora, now Lora replied. Her answer did not surprise them all mothers tended to care more about the injuries of their children than themselves.
"Well then," Professor Sham took out gadgets and equipment that he would be using from a back pack. "We will be requiring privacy because the young lady seems to be injured all over." His eyes were direct at Tion specifically.
"We will give you privacy." Scarlet replied. Then she looked at Lora and said, "I am going to send some of maids to help you out in the meantime. They will also bring you some food. If you need to reach me you can approach any of the maids and they will alert me. Also, please stay within the castle, a maid can give you a tour later."
Lora nodded, but her eyes never left her daughter Arya.
Scarlet left the room with the intention of finding Severus to discuss the herbs he had found to help the people deal with the winter chill.
"Should they be left alone?" Tion asked her.
"The entire castle is monitored by cameras and guards, I also have trained dogs patrolling. Besides, they know no one here but me, they are not going anywhere." she answered confidently. It had been one hundred years and they had enemies, Lora was wise enough to know that they needed to stay hidden for now. And naming herself storm!!!! the woman obviously had vengeance on her mind.
"Where are we going?" Tion asked.
"I, am going to the hospital and you are going to update this information to the the mecha warrior's association. I told the officer that you will be sharing the information on the mutated beasts they sent." She placed a terminal in his hands.
"Are you trying to get rid of me, again?" he asked her, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Yes," she confirmed with a nod of her head. "It may befuddle you Tion but sometimes, even I need to walk and breathe without smelling you or hearing you. I feel like your prisoner sometimes. I am driving myself to the hospital to talk to the pharmacist. Find me in say, thirty minutes to an hour."
Tion raised his hands and walked back into the castle.
She was surprised to see him back off, it seemed so easy but one minute why, she realized why because someone was obviously tailing her.?Ignoring that, she drove herself to the hospital for one reason only, that's where Severus was and he had been urging her to get her 'ass' over there for the past one minute.?When she found him, he was howling loudly, meaning trouble. And it only took her one elevator ride up to the children's ward to find out why.
There was a soul of one dead child and around four soul collectors that were here to feast on the innocent soul.
She sat her body on the nearest chair, popped a sleeping pill and switched to grim reaper mode instantly.
She grabbed the first reaper with her binding rope and smiled at the other three deviously, "Well," she said, "I am not late to the party, am I? You guys are so greedy, just one soul and four of you are here to feast. Tsk, tsk," she opened her soul gourd and sucked the soul of the dead child inside.?"Should we do this the hard way or will you walk your ugly legs in?"
