I Am Deaf

Chapter 31

Rin POV

A pink elephant is talking to me.

"So...blah blabbity blah." I couldn't hear him, but his mouth moved much like a human's.

"Hello." I said as politely as I could. "Your elephant hide is such a pretty color."

"Me? I'm not a blabbity!"

I nodded. "Of course you aren't."

"She's blabbity snapped. She hasn't much blah left."

"Who, Mr. Pink Elephant?"

"Just fix her." A dude with white hair... Hey... He's familiar... Was talking to the pink elephant.

"I can't." The pink elephant was looking regretful. It really was a magnificent creature.

"Hey... Don't go...!" I stood as I watched the pink elephant squeeze through the door. Tears jumped to my eyes, but as they hit the floor they became ants and spiders. The multicolored bruises on my arms and legs were flashing like rainbows, and I giggled at the sight.

Then, hysteria hit in.

"Hey!" I screamed, grabbing at the white-hair guy. "Don't leave me with the spiders!" They crawled up my arms.

He looked almost sad as he swiped my arm off.

Then he walked out, following the pink elephant.

Dell POV

Man oh man. My abuse on her has finally taken its toll. Had I hit her head too hard? Now that I thought about it, I'd hit her multiple times.

She grabbed the edge of my pant cuffs.

"Hey!" She begged, her voice high-pitched with frenzy. "Don't leave me with the spiders!"

As far as I could tell, there weren't any spiders.

I brushed her arm off and, ignoring her betrayed look, walked out.

"Knock her out."

The comrade nodded and walked inside her room with a giant red needle.

There was some screaming about a dinosaur and fruit punch, but then my comrade walked back out.

I looked back at the door at Rin, who'd slumped, unconscious, against the white wall.

I walked in and lifted her up.

My comrade set Rin into the back seat of the red car. She leaned against the window, her blond hair a brilliant contrast from the black leather seats.

"You'll be happy now," I said.

The sentence was half to her, half to me.

Len POV

There's a knock at the door.

I stood up, and ignoring Mom's warning look, I stepped to the door and opened it.

My jaw dropped as Rin's body was dumped into my hands.

My eyes met Dell's burgundy ones and he opened his mouth.

"Here you go. She's back. Now stop worrying. Also, she's in a pretty bad mental state. You might want to address that." His voice was rough.

My mouth was around my feet now.

He stepped back and got into the car before Mom came back.

"Who was- Oh, my." She glanced at Rin. "Set her on the couch, Len."

I shook my head, the tears falling fast. It made me feel so great, the feel of her weight in my arms.

They tightened around her form.

Her battered, bruised up form.

Her eyes fluttered open.

"The spiders!" She said, panicked, swiping at her arms.

What spiders?

I set her on the couch, then it hit me.

Also, she's in a pretty bad mental state.

"You... You're the devil, aren't you? I swear I wasn't bad! I swear!"

She started screaming, her expression dripping with terror.

"Mom," I said calmly to my astonished mom. "You may wanna knock her out with something."

"No, please... Help me, dragon!" She commanded to Mom. "You have to breathe fire at him! Anything!" Her gaze shot back to me.

"Help me..." Her voice sounded broken, and it broke me.

"I'll get the sleeping pills." My mom said, her tone brisk. She vanished into the bathroom.

I knelt next to the sofa.

"Anything."
