บท 45: The aftermath

Alanis   

His body changes as I place him on his bed gently. He is still passed out with soft breaths. His clothes are ripped, his body is bruised. I don't know if it is the transformation or his uncle that hurt him like this. 

I hate myself even more because this is all my fault. 

There is a knock on his door which makes me run over to it. I don't want to wake him up. Everything is just too much for him to handle. He needs to rest for now, after everything he has been through. 

Bells peers at me with a grim expression. I notice Rex behind her. Why are they both here? 

"How is he?" she asks. 

"He's still unconscious." I walk out of the room and close the door gently "Why did he take that form?" I direct my question at Bell's. 

Shrugging she answers "I don't know, no one has ever been in that form before. Not even Rick." 

I furrow my brows "He didn't seem like himself."
