Once Stefan finished checking over Theo he gave him some kid safe pain medication that will make him a little drowsy.
He gives me a slightly worried look and i furrow my brows ''what?''
I walk out into the waiting room to see Mateo, Ivan and sully sitting around talking with slightly worried looks on their faces. ''Is he alright?'' Ivan asks as he sees me walking with an unconscious Theo
Mateo goes to respond and i notice sully looking at me quite shocked but i stand before i can be questioned and lectured. ''I dont want to discuss this right now. I'm going to see angelica, stay with him'' they both look at each other and then back at me giving me a small nod.
I walk to angelicas room but stop at the door when i get an unsettling feeling. Somethings wrong.
I slowly push open the door, keeping my hand firmly on my gun thats tucked into my waistband. When i walk in i feel relief when i see nobody but angel.
Shes standing by the window, her back towards me just looking outside. ''Youre awake? You shouldn't be standing sweetheart'' i go to walk to her when she suddenly spins around making me freeze firmly in place.
Her body is trembling in pure fear, her eyes are bloodshot and her cheeks stained with tears that continue to fall. I then notice the glint of the silver object in her hand.
A scalpel
Instant panic rushes through me when I realise what is happening. The knife firmly in her shaky hands. ''Angel...'' i say softly as I start to walk towards her.
I'm in pure panic not knowing what to do. I cant leave to get help and she wont let me near her. I have a gun, i could try and shoot the knife from her hand but i cant risk accidentally shooting her.
What the fuck do i do? Think Dante, think
I watch her arm move slightly to reposition the scalpel and i panic.
I slowly move forward a little more and she doesnt stop me. ''I need you to breathe for me okay? Take a deep breath'' she inhales sharply as her body continues to shake. She releases the breath but it comes out as nothing but a sob.
He nods as if understanding what i need him to do. ''Youre safe. I promise you'' i inch closer yet again, slowly but surely making my way towards her. ''Please dont hurt me daddy, I'm sorry...'' she whispers.
Moving in sync we both jump towards angel. Ivan grabs her arm, the one with the knife pressed against it and pulls it away while i grab her other arm and rip the scalpel from her hand, tossing it to the floor.
Angel is still trashing and fighting in my arms but i dont stop holding her against my chest, holding her head in my hands and stroking her hair.
''Shh, ive got you. I'm here'' i whisper through my tears as i try desperately to soothe her.
''I'm not going to hurt you sweetheart. Never. Youre safe''
Not even a minute later Ivan comes running in with Stefan who drops beside me and pulls out a large needle ''what is that?'' i say in panic as angel continues to fight me. ''I'm going to sedate her''
I hold her close to my chest as i slowly rock her back and forth, mainly trying to calm myself down at this point.
Of course that would be triggering.
The worst part is i dont think she even knew what she was doing.
