The Tormented Soul

Chapter 9: help from both sisters

Aleera's POV

The door opened and Celia walked back in. During the time she was outside the room I had turned around and was now laying on my left side so I could see the door. I noticed she had some red marks on her neck that weren't there when she had walked out. She noticed that I was looking at her neck.

"No need to worry about the red marks on my neck, Darius lost his temper because he thought I tried to keep him away from you." She told me in a calming tone.

I nodded my head as she walked over to me and sat down on a chair beside the bed. She took my hand and looked right into my eyes.

"Will you try to eat now or do you want to try it later?" She asked me.

I thought about it for a few seconds.

"Later." I whisper out. I was still afraid that the man she called Darius would come back in.

We sat there in complete silence for a few minutes. She was looking at me and I looked around the room when Celia broke the silence.

"Is it okay if I remove the duvet to do some exercise with your legs so you can get your muscles back on track?"

I looked at her and gave her a small nod. She smiled and raised from her chair to remove the duvet. She placed her hands on my legs and moved my left leg first then she did the same on my right leg.

"Can you move your toes for me?" She asked me.

I looked at her confused. Why does she want me to move them? I looked at my toes and concentrated on moving them. It took a while but I was able to move them after a while. When I had finally managed to move them I spotted that Celia now had a huge smile on her face.

"Perfect! Now we know that your muscles from your back all the way down to your toes work." She said in a happy voice. Celia looked at me before she continued.

"How do you feel about trying to get up and walk around the room?"

I looked at her before I nodded my head, I was a little afraid that I would fall. Last time I stood up my legs felt like jelly and it was hard for me to stand at that time and I hope I will be able to do it this time. I moved my legs so they dangled on the right side of the bed and moved closer to the edge of the bed.

"If you feel unsteady you can hold my hands."

When my feet touched the floor I got that same feeling of having jelly legs so I grabbed Celia's hands for support. I moved my left leg first and then my right leg. It felt like I was dragging my feet behind me. When I was about to
