Chapter Three: Pegasus's Anger
Kaito landed the helicopter near Domino Hospital then as soon as it landed Pegasus jumped out.
“Where is Josephine Wheeler's room!” Pegasus yelled while he ran threw the entrance doors.
“Right this way sir,” Nurse red told him. She then headed towards Joey's room with Pegasus right behind her, a worried expression on his face. The nurse opened the door and left Pegasus alone with Joey so he could be with her. Pegasus watched the nurse leave before he closed the door behind him and looked at Joey. He saw her left leg as well as her right arm were in a cast and her face had a few stitches on it. He then noticed Tristan a sleep on her right side, his hand on her upper arm which made Pegasus realize Joey finally told at least one of her friends she was really a girl.
He went over to side on her left side and started petting her head, which her knew made her sleep better after every time she got hurt. Joey shifted in her sleep to lean into the petting which caused Tristan to wake up. He opened his eyes and looked at Joey thinking she was awake until he saw Pegasus.
“What are you doing here,” snapped Tristan, “And get your hands off of her.”
“Calm down Tristan and keep your voice down, Joey needs her rest,” said Pegasus. “Did you know she was a girl before hand?” asked Tristan, “And answer the question why are you here?”
“Yes, I've know Joey was really a girl since I saved her life when she was five years old,” Pegasus told him while still petting Joey's head.
“But still why are you here?” asked Tristan. Pegasus smiled and looked at him; neither knowing Joey has just woken up.
“I'm her guardian, the hospitals are to call me before her father if anything is to happen to her,” said Pegasus, “Has been that way since she was five.”
“Ya, you over protective nutcase,” snickered Joey. Both Pegasus and Tristan looked at her surprised Joey was awake.
“Nutcase, what happened to my nickname?” asked Pegasus, “Or are you afraid to say it since Tristan is in the room?”
“No, Silver,” Joey laughed slightly. Pegasus smiled while Tristan looked confused. Joey saw the look on her friends face added, “His hair.”
“Oh, got ya,” said Tristan.
“Joey what happened to you?” asked Pegasus making her look down.
“Take a wild guess,” answered Joey. Pegasus's face darkened as realization hit him.
“Your father did this didn't he!” Pegasus almost shouted. Joey just nodded her head as she looked down since she never liked it when Pegasus got mad.
“All the times he has been mad at you I've never seen you like this,” said Tristan. “He has gone to far!” snapped Pegasus, “He is going to pay I promise you that Joey.” Before she could say a word Pegasus stood up and marched out the door, leaving a stunned Tristan behind.
“I…Is her always like that?” Tristan asked her stuttering.
“Only when my dad really hurt me,” Joey Told him, “He punched a brick wall once when my dad broke my wrist when I was ten.”
“Let me guess he got stitches,” said Tristan. Joey just nodded while holding up all ten fingers twice before she fell asleep again. Tristan smiled before leaving the room, telling a nurse he would be back later.
A crossed town an hour later Joey's father was walking home. As he passed by an alleyway a black smoke surrounded, then pulled him in. He fought ageist the smoke as it slammed him into the wall.
“What's going on?” he asked out loud. He suddenly saw a golden eye appear threw the smoke.
“Wheeler you have gone to far, hurting Joey that bad is beyond forgivable.” A voice said threw the smoke. “
Who are you to care what I do to that brat,” snapped Joey's father.
“That's none of your concern just try not to scream to loudly, don't want to wake people up,” said the voice. The smoke thickened as suddenly a giant purple rabbit appeared, an axe in its hand. The eye started glowing and the rabbit run the axe threw Joey's father's stomach. The axe tore his internal organs to shreds but as the rabbit pulled the axe out it left no trace of the attack on the outside.
The rabbit then disappeared and the smoke threw body of Joey's dead father into the street. The smoke then cleared, the eye glowing in the darkness of the alley. An hour later a person driving down the road found the body and called the police. They collected the body and identified it before looking for the man's relatives, Joey, his mother, and Serenity. They found out Joey was at Domino Hospital and the police asked them to notify her. The chief nurse walked into Joey's room to find her flipping threw her deck.
“Miss Wheeler,” said the Nurse.
“Yes,” said Joey, a little annoyed thinking she was there to give her more shots.
“The police called me and told me to give you a message,” the nurse told her.
“What my father get arrested for being drunk in public?” asked Joey, not really caring though.
“No you're….miss Wheeler you're father is dead,” the nurse told her. Joey looked at her blankly before shaking her head,
“Why do I care, he did this to me?” asked Joey, “I was planning on leaving this time and going to live with my guardian.”
“I just thought you would want to know,” said the nurse, “and what about your mother and sister?”
“As much as I love them, my mother and me do not get along,” said Joey. The nurse nodded her head and goes to notify Pegasus that he could come and get Joey in the next day.
The next day Joey looked up to see Pegasus walking into her room, a bag of her clothes in his hand.
“Come on Josephine time to go,” said Pegasus, a smile on his face. Joey saw him put her bag down then helped her get her pants on, neither caring since he always did this when she hurt her leg or ankle. He then turned to give Joey some privacy as she carefully put her shirt on. She then smiled at Pegasus helped her into her wheelchair then placed her bag carefully in her lap. Pegasus then moved Joey out of the room to the reception desk to sign her out, Joey looked at her cards as he did so.
“Joey how many times do you have to look at your deck?” Pegasus asked after noticing she was looking at her deck again while they were leaving the hospital.
“I just like making sure I have everyone still there,” said Joey, “Including my new one.”
“You got a new one?” asked Pegasus. “
Ya Grandpa Motto gave it to me,” said Joey and showed him her card.
“Wow he gave you this?” asked Pegasus as they got into the car, “well make sure you hang on to that you never know when it will come in handy.”
Joey nodded her head as the car dove off to Pegasus's home in Domino city.
