"We can't just let her bones move wildly through her body, possibly ripping muscles, piercing her lung, or damaging any organs. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," he replied. He moved the gas tank over to Kitty. This stuff was expensive, but she had already felt enough needless pain, and shouldn't have to feel anymore by his hands. He shooed everyone else out...
A few hours later, Xavier opened the door and and smiled to anyone in the waiting room.

Brittany jumped up at the sound of the door opening and ran over to Xavier anxiously. "Is she alright?"
Gampa, who had shut down the tavern for the day came over aswell. "By the look of things I reckon everythin' went well."

Kitty was unconcncious still. She felt nothing. She senced nothing. She dreamt as she lay there, bandaged and bruised. Shadows... people she knew, but could not place... faceless beings...

"Of course she's alright, it was a few cracked ribs, not heart surgery," Xavier explained with a light hearted laugh. "She should be up in a few hours or so. Anyone care to help me move her to a bed?"

"OH! She's ok!" Brittany exclaimed and she embraced Gampa and squeezed him. "Soon things will be back to normal and we wont let that man back in our pub no we wont. Next time he dares show his face in this here town I'll take a shotgun to him." Gampa smiled tolerantly at her ramblings. She was a sweet girl but very easily excited and sometimes he wished she would just be quiet.
"I'll help you." The grey-haired man detached himself from Brittany and walked over to the room that held Kitty.

Kris began the long trek back to the bar. He had to at least see if Kitty was alright before he had to run.

Jake was relieved to hear that the damage was not as severe as it could have been. It was no doubt when Dr Xavier asked for assistance, that Jake wouldn't hesitate to offer a hand. " I'll take her. " Jake humbly stated. " It's alright I got her. I will be gentle." Jake assured the old man whom was about to lift Kitty from off the table. Seeing this was an elder man. Jake did not doubt the man's ability to lift the young lady. But rather a young man sparing an elder man some labor. And with the fact of Jake carrying the young Miss from the tavern in the gentle manner of which he did, no one doubted this young the man's ability to safely transport the injured Kitty.
Jake gently lifted Kitty from off the table in a caring manner. With Jake being the son of a farmer, and a carpenter by trait, possessed the strength of black smith, and the caring touch of a gardener planting the seeds of his beloved plants gently into the earth. And with the fact of him carrying a precious young lady who had been hurt by the selfish and foolish action of a drunken individual, gave Jake all the more reason to offer this young woman his caring gentle strength.

Kitty shuddered violently in the man's arms.
~The shadow men were starting to clump together. They were whipering... she could not hear them, but she wished that she could. They were talking about her... she was certain of it. They frightened her... gave her chills...~
Kitty's body shuddered again and she started to break into a cold sweat.

"She'll be exhausted from the operation, and probably wont be able to do much for a good 12 hours," Xavier explained to the people following kitty's body into the bedroom. "Be very careful of her abdomen right now Jake, she's still stitched," he advised. It was clear that the man was trying his best not to agitate her though.
They carefully placed her onto the bed, covering her in a light sheet. The doctor noticed the cold sweats, and frowned... "Everything was sterile... It shouldn't be an infection..." he mumbled to himself. "She'll get better soon, you may wait with her if you like. This is my house as well as my business, so you may stay until you wish to leave. Just don't break anything or touch the medical equipment."

((Ha... that's what YOU think, Doc.))
~The shadow men stopped talking. They were looking at her... staring at her. Suddenly, eyes appeared in their faceless heads. Glowing red eyes.~
Kitty's eyes opened... but they were unseeing. "Oh, heaven... Brittany... they're here... they can see me..."
~The shadowmen looked at each other... Suddenly, one of them reached out to her with a hand that was not really there, but oh how cold it was! How much it hurt!!~
Kitty let out a scream and began to grope about the bed for something to hold to.

Jake looked into the girls' eyes and saw the deep seed of terror growing within them. Jake then looked at the area in the room of which the terrified Kitty would not take her eyes off of. Jake looked back at Kitty and returned his gaze to where she was looking. Hallucination probably. But Jake was not so sure, for he felt a slight chill in his heart and a tingle down his spine.
Jake knelt by the side of the bed and held Kitty's hand with both of his, and looked her in the eye and waited until she returned his gaze. " You need not fear them. " Jake calmly assured the young lady. Jake looked her in the eyes a moment longer and decided to say something else. "What's your name?" Jake asked with a soft tone. He already knew that her name was Kitty, he heard the people all around him saying it constantly. But this young woman was absolutely terrified, and Jake was attempting to calm her down.

"OH HEAVENS ABOVE! AN EVIL SPIRIT HAS TAKEN OVER HER!" Brittany screeched hysterically as Kitty let out her unearthly scream of terror and impending doom. "OH DOCTOR YOU HAVE TO SAVE HER! GAMPA CALL THE PREISTS!" Then all the screaming seemed to catch up to the poor overexcited girl's bruised ribs and with a gasp her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she promptly fainted.
"Well, once we all regain our hearing I'm sure we will be able to help her." Gampa told the unconcious form of his granddaughter and then sighed in relief.

Xavier watched Kitty with an observant worried look. Did he do something wrong? Did he perhaps miss something..? When someone's life was the gamble, you didn't want to miss even the slightest detail. Cold sweats.. delusions.. "She's delusional, she won't understand," Xavier replied, moving over to the other side of the bed, pulling a thermometer from a nearby drawer... but it soon became evident that she wouldn't sit quietly for the moment. He settled for the old fashioned, "back of the hand on the forehead" technique. checking her temperature. She was burning up... Something was surely wrong.
"She isn't recovering as well as I'd hoped.. A fever is the body's reaction to another problem... It may be disease or an infection," he explained, trying to appear as professional as possible. The doctor moved over to one of his large cabinets with a lock on it, one of the doors was currently ajar. He began looking inside to search for a jar of medicine to help with the fever.

Kris extended a hand to writhing body of Kitty. He knew very little of medicine, heck he knew very little about much anything. But he had to help somehow. "They are'nt going to get you, Doctor Xavier's gonna fix ya right up." Noticing Kitty's face grow slightly paler, he grasped her hand a little more tightly, "Ya here me, they ain't gonna get ya!"

Kitty did not see any of her friends. She could see nothing of the outside world. Sweat was beading on her smooth forehead and her hands, which were both being held, were shaking. Her face was a picture of absolute terror.
~The shadowmen were laughing. They were laughing at her pain and at her fear. The devils! Curse them!~
