Chapter forty-eight

Chapter 48

I woke up in Cole’s and my house and I had no memory of how I’d gotten there. “What happened?” I asked.

“We’ll explain after you stop blacking out.” Cole whispered lovingly but suddenly I remembered everything and I screamed out painfully. “It’s okay Lily-be…” he promised.

“You’ve been mad at me for weeks why not now?” I whispered still unable to move a lot but today I could move some and as long as I moved slowly it didn’t hurt much.

“I was upset I shouldn’t have taken it out on you but just like your powers get out of control when you’re overly emotional about something my demon side gets more powerful because my good side was too upset over you.”

“So you weren’t mad at me?” I whispered holding my hand out to him. He looked at me confused.

“No of course not. I would never be mad at you when you’re hurt.”

“When I’m hurt,” I sighed, “Get over here.” I explained.

“You’re still hurting.” He shook his head.

“It’s worth it.” I promised, “I want your arms around me right now.” He smiled and joined me on the bed wrapping his arms around me but he kept them loose so that there was no way I could be hurt. I slowly moved so that I was curled up into him and he kissed my head.

“Speaking of kissing and things...” A man said walking in and I looked confusedly at Cole.

“Your doctor… Dr. Andrews.”

“Hello Doc,” I whispered figuring I better be nice since he’d kept me alive.

“You and Cole will not be able to have sex for a month.” He told me and I took a deep breath remembering the man had kept me alive and he had a good reason for everything we could still kiss, “You also won’t be allowed to kiss.”

“Okay now Doc what’s the reason for this I figured you had some medical reason for the first but the second?” I whined.

“The second is because it leads to the first.”

“What exactly is it that’s going to hurt me?” I asked him.

“The actual intercourse.” He admitted.

“Okay then we can kiss.” I nodded.

“You can’t fight for a week though and there’s no compromise on that. That’s a week after I release you from my care and a month after I release you from my care.”

“When are you releasing me from your care?” I asked slowly looking at Booth and seeing he was going to make me stick with doctor’s orders.

“A few weeks.” He shrugged, “It depends on how well you heal and how well you act.”

“A few weeks!!!” I yelled, “A few weeks!!!!! I have to fight!!!!!! You don’t understand Doc I’m not invincible.” I calmed down and spoke normal trying to speak logic, “Do you realize what that means? That means I could die.”

“I know that happens to be why you are staying under my care for a few weeks and following a few stipulations after that. I’ll give you the others later.”

“There’s more?” I asked.

“Those were the big ones.”

“Okay Doc, just sit down here on the bed and let’s talk reason here.” I said and everybody laughed. I held my hand up though and everybody froze but Cole, Mom, Dad, and Dr. Andrews.

“Oh no powers either. I saw the little spell you cast and it seems to me you are addicted to power.”

“No she’s not she’s just obsessed with fighting and knew that Judy and Tristan would stop her if we knew how obsessed she’d gotten and she didn’t know about the spells and that they came in variations. Trust me she’s learned her lesson.” Cole stood up for me.

“She’s hardly used her powers in the last few weeks. Which spell though?” Mom asked.

“Umm… well…” I stumbled not wanting to disappoint her, “I kind of accidently multiplied mine and Cole’s powers by about a hundred.” I mumbled.

“Only on those two it didn’t multiply their powers by one hundred it did it two hundred.” Dr. Andrews told us.

“No way.” I shook my head, “No wonder they are so dang hard to learn to control. Of course Cole here doesn’t have that problem he’s good like that.”

“Lily-be one of my powers is control.” He reminded me.

“Which is totally not fair.”

“You got fighting. Try to fight with you.”

“I didn’t get that type of fighting you usually win those.”

“I’m usually right.” He laughed kissing my head.

“Touché.” I sighed into him and he tightened his hold his hand running over just the right spots on my body but then he remembered Dr. Andrew’s rule and put his hand back around my waist not wanting to get either of us too into anything that we couldn’t stop. “It’s going to be a very long month.” I sent.

“Yes.” He nodded kissing my head.

“Okay I’m sitting we can talk logically.” Dr. Andrews said.

“Okay so you see I can either sit in bed as a sitting duck for everybody that wants me dead, trust me there’s quite a lot, or I could go and train and just be careful. Logically it makes sense to me that I’d go train so that it’s harder for those who want me dead to kill me because as soon as I die Cole goes evil and the world has one nasty demon on its hands.” I shrugged.

“If you train before you are supposed to Lily you are taking the chance of ending up right back where you were or in the ground. There’s a bigger chance of that than somebody coming to kill you in the week you take off and even if they do Cole can handle them.”

“You’re going to do what Doc says.” Cole told me and I laughed realizing my nickname was already taking off.

“Fine but you are going to get the blunt of everything that comes because I can’t fight or do anything else.” I frowned.

“You can study.” Mom suggested.

“Study fun!” I smiled and then went right back to my frown. The next few weeks that I was still under Doc’s care I studied and talked getting caught back up with Ben and laughing with Booth always holding onto Cole. I would lay on him the book and my head on his chest when I studied and he’d just play with my hair. It was hard to study magic though without using it so I turned to studying the history of it, before Cole and me of course, because after us they only wanted to talk about what we’d done or could do.
