The Omega For Sale

It felt like a long time that I had been stuck in this space where I could hear almost everything around me but I couldn’t see a thing or feel anything.

Most of the voices around me sounded more like Greyson’s and occasionally I would hear the healer or Smith but it usually felt like those sounds were coming from behind a glass pane and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t ever fully hear the words being exchanged or react in the way that I wanted to.

It just felt like I was stuck in a dream, where I knew it was a dream but I just couldn’t do anything to stop it or participate only watch it from whatever position I could find.

One thing that I could feel though was the excruciating pain that emanated from different parts of my body. My shoulders and stomach seemed to have the worst pain from it all but those weren’t the things that hurt the most.

Being stuck in this dreamlike state, where I went in and out of sleep without control also meant, having uncontrollable flashbacks.

There were times were they felt so real and as if I had been thrown into the situation again but other times it just felt like I were watching it happen to someone else, both times were equally painful.

Just like the time when I had been captured, time felt like it didn’t exist in this particular state. I was in sometimes and other times I was out. I heard the same voices, felt the same pain and nothing really seemed to help with putting a demarcation between day and night.

It just felt like I was floating in and out of consciousness whenever I pleased.

I woke up to the sound of beeping, actually very loud beeping and hard as I tried I could pinpoint the location of that beeping and then it felt as if I was suffocated and it began to get worse and worse until I actually began to choke.

I wanted to breathe but it felt as if there was something that was preventing that from happening and I couldn’t get it out of the way to allow my breathing passage work as they should.

I could hear a little commotion around me, shouting, there was somebody touching me too but I couldn’t focus on my immediate environment, not until whatever was causing the choking was eventually removed.

“You’re fine Freya. It was only helping you, it’s out now so just take deep breaths for me.” I heard Clara’s voice to my right and I did as she asked.

My breathing sounded ragged and forced and I could hear every breath I took in my ears.

I hissed as Clara touched a sore spot and the women apologized immediately but she continued to poke around me gently. I tried to open my eyes but it felt as if something heavy had been placed against them.

The pain that racked through my body was nothing like I had ever felt. Even breathing was painful and if I do much as moved a finger, it sent unimaginable pain through me.

“Freya? Freya can you hear me?” Clara asked and I wanted to respond to her and assure her that I could hear her but the words were stuck behind an invisible barrier in my throat and I knew that I would not be able to get them out soon enough and so I focused on getting my eyes to open.

After a number of painful tries, I was able to finally succeed but the blinding white light in the room made me regret my decision to open my eyes. I shut it once again but after a couple of seconds, I tried again and my eyes seemed to be cooperating with me this time.

The moment my eyes landed on Clara’s face the bright, wide smile on the older woman’s lips made my own cracked lips curve in a slight smile too. I watched as she raised her head to the ceilings as if in a silent prayer.

“I’m so happy to see you once again Freya. I’m so so happy. Your family will be so glad.” She whispered to me and the emotions in her voice hit me harder than I expected.

It was as she spoke that I realized that I had more than just my family waiting on me to wake up, it was then that I realized that it wasn’t only Greyson and Jessy that I had to come back to and recover for.

“I’m going to run a quick check up on you. I had to send Greyson and Smith outside when you started waking up and I can already hear him pacing restlessly outside this door that I’m very sure he’s going to pull down if he’s not allowed in soon. So blink once for yes and twice for no, can you do that?” She asked and I blinked once.

Over the next couple of minutes, Clara asked some questions regarding the way I felt, breaking down most of the questions to enable me give an answer on a yes or no basis. Then occasionally she would poke at certain parts of my body and asked questions concerning them.

“You’re going to be in pain for a while. I’ll try everything in my power to keep that pain at it’s minimum but unfortunately there’s only so much I can do. You can’t go home yet, I hope you understand that but your wolf is helping you heal nicely and I’m sure if it continues like this over the next couple of days then you should be good to go home.” The healer assured and I offered her a small smile which she returned.

“I’ll be back soon, try to rest as much as you can.” She advised, while administering a shot to me.

Once she was done, she walked out of the door and I heard as she spoke to Greyson.

“She’s still very weak, try to not overwhelm her and let her sleep as much as she can.”

“Thank you Clara so much.” I heard Greyson’s voice.

And after that, I watched as the door was pushed open again and the man that I loved was coming into the room. I felt multiple emotions run through me upon seeing him and I couldn’t decide on the most prominent.

Although he looked well kept as always, I couldn’t help but notice how much weight he had lost and the bags under his eyes led me to believe that he had barely had any sleep in a very long time.

Greyson rushed towards my bed the moment he caught my eyes and he carefully wrapped an arm around me in a hug. I couldn’t be more grateful for this moment.

“Goddess I’m so happy to see you again, I’m so glad you’re okay. I love you so much, please don’t ever leave me.” He said in a breath and when I felt something wet come in contact with my skin, it caused the tears that I had been trying to keep at bay to roll down my eyes.

I wouldn’t ever be able to explain the emotions that were running through me if I were given the chance. But one thing I was sure of, was how happy I was to be alive.
