You're a woman now, Candy.
Those were the last words Rune heard before she fell asleep. She was suspended in an animation of disbelief for those few moments, just too shocked to really understand.
A woman? Rune didn't even know what it meant to be a woman. She wore bright makeup and colored her hair in interesting ways. But that wasn't about being feminine, it was about enjoying things that weren't bloody and dark. Enjoying things that made her happy.
A sound woke her. She was on the floor she realized when she looked to the side. Her hoglet had nosed its little ball into a corner that it couldn't get out.
"Harry?"
She called but the hedgehog continued to nose at its ball. That meant uncle Seth had been there.
"White?"
She called for him but there was no response. She ached from naval to spine.
She closed her eyes for just a moment. Next she opened them, Uncle Seth was over her. He pat her on the forehead right before pinching her arm. The painkiller flooded her mind and she felt like she was floating away.
A few more days of the same in and out of sleep, a few more days of smoothies, and a few more days of shots and Rune was feeling more like herself again. At one point, she was sitting at the table slurping her smoothie and thinking about Jaxen and the ninja. Harry was scuttling under her seat.
((Tried to move it ahead a couple of days))
