Being the Immaculate Pack, a pack of innocence and freedom, you would never expect a gruesome murder to happen. You would think the people there wouldn't dare hurt a fly but in a place, with walls, you never know what happens on the inside. What are...
"Emily, it's time." The doctor said with a sad tone.
I know...but I love Tanner.
I took a deep breath bringing a shaky hand that held the pen to the paper before signing my name. I held back the tears as I handed the papers over and the doctors and nurses started turning everything off.
"Goddess, please let him wake." I spoke sending the prayer high up.
I waited for the long beep to come from the machine, but nothing came.
Small beeps started and my eyes widened as I jumped up from my seat.
"I can't believe it." The doctor mumbled looking over the machines.
"He did it." I said with a shaky voice.
Then something amazing happened, his eyes slowly fluttered open taking in his surroundings and a happy sob escaped me.
He tried to speak but couldn't, and I shook my head telling him to rest and take his time. The nurse gave him some water helping him sit up.
"I...was...so worried." Was his first words and he brought a shaky hand up laying it on the side of my cheek.
"For..you." he got out and another sob left me as I leaned forward hugging him and he was quick to wrap his arms around me not caring how he felt.
"I got him, Tanner, I got him." I spoke and he responded with a squeeze as if saying 'good'.
"We're safe." I mumbled.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." I spoke leaning back and let out a small laugh.
"We're...family. I'm not...going anywhere." He spoke in between breaths.
I knew it would be awhile before he was back at his best, but he's up and awake and thats all that matters to me.
I placed my hand on my heart and he knew what I meant nodding back. 'I love you too'.
"So...tell me what...I missed."
So I explained everything went down as he listened intently. I explained the day he went missing and how Derek played us all. I explained the chief causing Tanner to drop his head to hide his emotions from me. I knew he had tears in his eyes. I explained the party, and the shooting, just everything.
I knew something, though. I didn't rightfully deserve the position as chief, so when Tanner was better I was going to give it to him. He had always wanted that position and was always chief's right hand man much like myself. He deserved it more than I did.
After explanations, I took a spot beside Tanner and we just laid there in each other's embrace thanking the Goddess for the miracle she gave us. Thanking her for not letting me lose another brother.
