As usual, he slept on the long wooden chair in front of Magee"s room. It was almost 2"oclock when he woke up with Magee"s voice again fleeing in the chilling air."George" She whispered.
He covered his ears and smiled. It was even twice the detail.
" George, get out." She whispered.
"My goodness, I"m here, you know, just outside." He thought then silently sneered.
But the sound inside her bed was intense till there was a man"s voice panting from pain. It made George forcibly opened the door while bringing a lighted lamp and unbelievably found Edmund on the ground - bleeding. In a second, Albrecht and Baldur hurriedly went down and surprisingly saw Edmund inside their sister"s room but still as comrade, they picked him up; brought him outside and attended to st.i.tch including meds for his wound. No one from the brothers asked nor blamed him.
She was teary eyed upon looking at him pulling a chair and sat on it nearby the edge of her bed.
" I"ll listen. Tell me." George asked.
" Nothing."
" What happened, tell me." His voice was a bit deep and husky.
" He attempted to open my blanket. I thought its you so I called your name but there was never any response so I removed the blanket out of my face; he right away covered my mouth but I grabbed my dagger and... stabbed him. When this war will end?" She sobbed and much as he want to comfort but he was hesitant and
just bowed his head while listening to her sobs and chills.
After she have ferret out pains and fears George covered her a thick blanket.
" Hmm...your mummy-type blanketing is helping. Can you show me how did you do it?" He jokily asked her that made her smile then slid herself inside and hide.
" Thank you. I feel better now. Do not worry anymore. Just please close my window that it could not be opened anymore. He pa.s.sed through it.
" Copy. I"ll talk to Edmund too. He has to learn his lesson."
" I have forgiven him already. I know it isn"t easy for men to live within a warzone but at least he should have checked that I was hiding inside. I did not provoke to be liked by anyone. Someone loves me dearly and he"s about to get out now. " She ended that way.
" He bowed his head smiling while putting his chilling hands in his pockets.
" I"ll just cover your window tomorrow early. Your sleep might be distracted if I"m going to hammer it now. Sleep tight Mag." He then left smiling.
" Oh....come! help us." Albrecht was running and urged him to go up.
" What happened to him?" He got up and saw his bleeding ear and thigh, pleading for mercy.
" Sir, forgive me." Edmund cried.
"Don"t worry Edmund, experiencing all these is already a lesson. I thought you were just stabbed but look, my wife even bit your ear. Don"t worry, my brothers and I will keep this as a secret. No one will know that you attempted to molest my woman. Remember, having this mistake isn"t just the basis of our friendship to break, this case is isolated and she even would want you to know that she"d forgiven you. Just don"t do it again. If you are interested on marriage, I"ll introduce you to someone I know." He gave him a gla.s.s of water and a tablet so that he can sleep and get rid out of pain.
" Thank you Sir. S...sorry again. Its the first and last."
Albrecht forwarded to him the emergency kit and a.s.sisted while Baldur was just observing and stand by errand to further needs George might look for. It took them for an hour to finish the last st.i.tching procedure.Aqaqa
" Hmm...just don"t be curious about us, our relationship being a couple is romantically unique, haha. Okay." He tapped his shoulder and looked at his damaged ear before he left.
" G.o.d...his ear was almost ripped into two pieces. How did she do it, stabbing and biting at the same time, huh." He shook his head and headed back to the chair outside Magee"s room.
