They wouldn't continue to happen over and over again...would they?
The healer began by gently unwrapping the bandages around Destiny's stomach. There was still a good deal of blood coming through, so Gabriella know there must be a pretty deep wound in that area. Sure enough, there was a huge gash right where the bandages used to be. Gabriella cringed a little but started cleaning the are and sealing the wound anyway.
Ribs---there were broken ribs. Three, Gabriella could tell. It took some time to shift the bones back into place and piece them together, but a few pops later and Destiny no longer had any broken ribs. She stopped working for a moment to make sure Destiny was making it through the healing process alright. So far, so good, it seemed.
An orange paste was spread over the bruises, and a different ointment was used for the pricks. Gabriella cleaned the blood off the girl's ankles and placed a bandage over the small wounds. A final examination told the healer that she'd tended to all Destiny's injuries. "Miss Shepard, how are you feeling?" she asked.
The heating charm the healer had cast made Destiny feel slightly warmer, too bad it didn't help the pain. Pffft, if only heating charms could cure everything.. Destiny closed her eyes while the healer took care of her. She had really hoped this healing process would be painless, for she couldn't take anymore of it.
Wrong. It would not be painless.
Destiny cringed as the bandage on her stomach was removed. Merlin that had hurt. Actually, it didn't hurt. It was just unexpected and it might have scared her a little bit. As the wound was sealing, Destiny closed her eyes even tighter. It was such a weird feeling, to feel your skin pull back together, and it was something she would not want to happen ever again. Next term, if she would return to Hogwarts, she would be prepared with a suit made out of bubble wrap. That would keep her safe. Unless people pop her bubbles..and she would have to stay away from sharp objects and fire and...
She opened her eyes wide as she heard the popping noise. All thoughts of a bubble wrap suit out of her mind, for now, Destiny felt the pain in her chest slowly go away. Her ribs were fixed, and that made it so much easier to breathe. Destiny took a deep breath and closed her eyes again. That felt good.
She didn't bother to open her eyes at the pastes that was being applied to the bruising. It was probably the same thing she had used last term with her black eye. It smelled horrible, but it did get the job done. That was all she was worried about..for now anyway. Destiny felt the Healer clean and place and bandage her ankles. That was where the bites were..maybe they were from her cat..After all, he was a little upset at her since she wouldn't let him eat anymore grass..But he wouldn't bite her over that. He was a good kitty. And then she heard the question that she could not answer. Well, she could, but they would be in the room for hours. How was she feeling? Tired, sore, confused, scared..but then she knew exactly what to say,
'Hungry.'
After almost dying, she needed food.
