Chapter 52 Operation

Still Drena's POV

The girl put the bullet in the basin Cassy just brought here. Then, she took a needle and a thread from her sling bag, I thought it was composed of make-ups, how come she had those things with her!?

"What is that for?" Cassy asked.

"Ow, just for sewing." She said as she started sewing the wounds in Claire's waist like she's just repairing a ripped cloth.

"Oh my gosh!" Cassy exclaimed and fainted, a good thing I'm near her to catch her body before she falls.

I lay her on the couch near our spot.

Claire... I suddenly remember what happened earlier, she looked at the man, I don't know what look she gave to that man. But, the man was frightened... frightened was just an understatement. It was like he saw a... monster.

But Claire, I looked back at her, she's looking straight at the wall without any emotion. She looked so innocent, an angel looking like her can't scare the hell out of a person. But earlier... she just did. But how?

Who is she? Who are these two girls in front of me? Cousin...

No. They can't be, she can't be... I hate to think it's her, I can't handle thinking it's her. Just please, it's not her.

The girl finished closing Claire's wounds and cleaning the blood. And then she put on a new bandage cover. When she's done, Claire... standing up!?

"Claire no, you're wounded, just lay down," I told her calming myself as I stand in front of her.

"I need a comfort room." She simply stated.

"Let me help you." She's wounded and she can't walk straight with this condition, I tried reaching for Claire's arm but suddenly someone grabbed my hand that is reaching for her.

"I'm Zoey Caspillan and you are?" She asked smiling while shaking my hand.

"Drena... Drenalyn Montero." She let go of my hand. I immediately searched for Claire but was surprised to see her already walking towards the bathroom.

I was shocked, not just in her fast speed but she acted and walked like she's not wounded!

What's wrong with the world? No, what's wrong with me!? No human could not feel that wounds. No human can act normal with that wounds in just a span of more than three hours. It's like she's... "Not human..."

"What is she then?" I suddenly looked at Zoey who's already sitting on one of the couches smirking. Did I said it out loud!?

"An Angel." Claire has done nothing to harm us rather she saved us earlier. She saved Xenon, I know she was there, it was real. She's our friend, she never made us cry but catches us from harm like before with Daniela, she catches her punches that are intended for us.

Zoey laughed like I just made a great joke. Did I... joked?

"I like your friend Claire." She said to the person behind me while laughing.

I didn't realize she was already out of the bathroom changed with her new clothes, she's walking towards the bed with her usual walk.

"Tell him I'm sleeping, I don't wanna hear his rants." She said looking at me as she lay down in the bed. I nodded and she closed her eyes.

"How about your stupid brother? Okay, fine. Later then. I'll stay." Zoey said and frustration is written on her face when she said 'stupid brother'.

The door suddenly burst open and reveals a deadly Xenon. Did she knew Xenon was coming!?

Suddenly, Xenon's face turned sad the moment it landed on Claire.

Claire is like, a sleeping beauty and not a person who is just pretending to be asleep, even I would think she's sleeping.

Xenon took a seat beside her and hold her hand. "Claire I'm sorry, it's all my fault you got involved in our mess." He said leaning on her hand, he's very sad. But, what does he mean with the... mess?

"So, you must be her lover boy," Zoey stated getting his attention as Xenon immediately looked at her. Her presence is unnoticeable like Claire... What's with them?

"Who are you? Why are you here?" His voice was hard still holding Claire's hand.

"I'm Zoey Caspillan, Claire's cousin. And you are?" Zoey walked towards Xenon and extended her hand while smiling widely.

"Xenon." He simply said still using his hard voice and shook Zoey's hand.

He returned his focus on Claire holding her with both hands while leaning on it.

"Oh Xenon! What a nice name, you look gorgeously handsome, it suits you." Zoey said sweetly. Suddenly, I saw Claire's eyelids moved which made her smile in victory.

She's teasing Claire, but Xenon just ignores Zoey, he seems to really love Claire.

Suddenly Lucas and Coby barged in with the medicine kit.

"Good you're here, you have taken long enough." Xenon said in his deadly voice.

"I'm sorry, it's difficult finding these medicines," Lucas explained panting.

"Ow, Claire is fine, I already operated on her wounds," Zoey stated which made the boys turned to look at her.

"You what!?" Lucas exclaimed and immediately looked at Claire.

"You heard me," Zoey said going back to the couch.

When Lucas saw the bullet in the basin. "What the fu**! How did you take it out!?" Curiosity and surprise are written on his face. Oh, she just took it out using her fingers.

"Operation and I put anesthesia on her so she's sleeping peacefully right now. She'll wake probably a day or days. Don't worry she's already in good condition." Zoey simply explained. She's great at covering up.

Lucas tried to lift Claire's shirt but he earned a glare from Xenon which made him stand straight and put his hands up.

Xenon takes her pulse "Her pulse is normal and steady." He breathed calming himself and looked at Zoey "Whatever it is that you did to her, thank you." His voice was still hard.

Claire has a big impact on his behavior...

"You're welcome! It's my job as her cousin." Zoey smiled. Tch. She doesn't even care about Claire 'coz all she does was nagged about Claire's brother.
