“Salutfrágma!”
Was what the twins heard, hearing both top and bottom locks of the door unlocking — and slowly opening the bedroom door. Two people came into the bedroom. Both twins shuttered, and quickly and carefully dragged Lila near their beds, as they heard and saw the two people come in. One of them being a tall thin old man, with mid silver hair, as well as a beard, which both beard and hair met above his shoulders — he wore a warm beige plaid coat and purple scarf. And the other was a middle aged looking man; who looked like he’d been through hell himself — his eyes were a golden hazelnut colour, which looked tired and had these large dark circles under them; he had a scruffy beard and his hair was mangled and long brown hair which reached over his shoulders. He looked completely malnourished, as a gaunt was evident underneath his beard and looked drastically skinny as if he were nothing but skin and bones. The man seemed to be wearing a dark cloak over what looked to be hospital clothes underneath — which looked to be too big for his scrawny, and starving looking body.
“My dear friend — I told you that you need to stay back at the manor, and stay bed rested. We have this all under control.” the old man tells the malnourished man slouching on the doorway.
“But-” The man said, looking and sounding a little down. He heard a few footsteps of people climbing up the stairs. Behind the two men were three individuals. Two wore these white long white cape coats, red shirts, and black trousers — two of them wore these white nurse caps on their heads that had winged red cross and wand insignia on them as well as both their upper right sleeves of their uniforms. Immediately implying that two were either doctors or nurses. The other was a tall man dressed in black; as well as black gloves — his face was covered with a thick black scarf, and hood-like cloak. He walked towards Lila while the two cloaked medics rushed to untie Olga — the two picked the plumped woman up, where Olga started to struggle from their grasps. But the two grabbed tightly, and vanished into thin air with Olga.
The twins gasped, both were stunned, surprised even — as they both saw Olga and the two strangers suddenly disappear. Both twins almost got carried away, as they noticed the two cloaked men approaching them. Both trembled, as they thought that they would try to hurt them, as well as hurt their already injured and unconscious sister. Both Sandy and Daisy glared at the two men, glaring at them to not come any closer. “Step aside you two, you're in the way.” The dark cloaked man hissed. Sandy and Daisy shuttered by his cold reply, but refused to comply with his demand. They moved closer to Lila’s unconscious body, as the twins formed a shield to prevent the dark cloaked stranger from coming nearer.
Sandy and Daisy both flinched, and winced from the pain on their arms and legs — remembering about the repetitive whips that Olga had marked them with, using the lamp cable. The cloaked malnourished man approached the twins and calmly told them, “Sandy, Daisy… It’s going to be alright. He’s going to help Lila, so you can trust him.” Both twins gawked at him, completely puzzled and wondered how this man knew them, as he talked to them with familiarity. Let alone, who he and the other two were.
Without them noticing, the dark cloaked man scooped up Lila's unconscious body from the floor. Both Sandy and Daisy immediately stood, and tried kicking the dark cloaked stranger, demanding that he let go of their sister. He ignored the twins, thinking that their little cries were of toddlers throwing a tantrum. The twins continued to kick and punch the dark cloak man’s leg countless times and didn’t stop until he let their sister go.
The dark cloaked man cradled Lila’s body, and carried her across the room, and laid her down on her springy bed. Sandy and Daisy stopped hitting the dark cloaked man, as they were both surprised to see him setting their sister gently down on her bed.
The dark cloaked stranger looked at the twins — Sandy and Daisy shuttered by his cold stare — he whispered lowly something to them. Sandy and Daisy both unsure on what he was mumbling about. But we were both surprised that their cuts, and wounds were suddenly healed. Both wanted to be sure, as they lifted their sleeves of their blood stained pyjamas and their eyes widened to see that their wounds were gone — their marks and scars vanished. Sandy and Daisy gazed at the dark cloaked stranger, speechless — both weren’t sure what to say and what he did, what he did to heal them suddenly.
The cloaked malnourished man, and the old man stood by Sandy and Daisy, wanting to ease the two of their worries. The cloaked malnourished man then tells the twins, “You see… you can trust him — everything is going to be alright. And you know that your big sister is very strong, and can withstand this. Just hope and pray for her to be all better, and to wake up. As I know that she would be happy and would love to see your lovely faces.” He tells them softly, the twins however weren’t so sure. They still were a little hesitant about all this. But thought that maybe if they should trust what he said — to trust the dark cloaked man to heal their sister, as he did with them.
The twins were indecisive and unsure — the old man reached into his pocket of his plaid beige coat, and took out his wand; he waved it around on his palm and in seconds, appeared two chocolate ice lollies. The twins' eyes sparkled in excitement and amazement, from seeing the old man cast magic. The old man snickered at the twin’s expressions and hands the iced lollies to the two girls. “Here.” he said to the twin as he handed them the ice lollies, “Rest assured you two, your sister is in good hands. Have faith and patience. My acquaintance here will heal your sister up in no time.” He said, ever so gently, while smiling brightly at the two.
Sandy and Daisy, took the ice lollies that the old man gave them, then immediately took a quick nibble. They still weren’t sure about any of this, and felt uneasy as they felt everything else unsettling. But both twins thought that these three men, who were helping them, were saving their sister. Sandy wondered if she should trust them for saving their sister’s life — Daisy thinking the same things as her twin, as both twins looked at each other, giving each other the same look of the same facial expression — as if they were thinking the same thing. And so, the two girls nodded to each other, and let the dark cloaked stranger heal their sister — while they began praying for Lila to get better, and to wake up, feeling better.
The dark cloaked man kneeled on one knee, by Lila’s unconscious body — by her bedside. Then shortly after, he reached inside the pockets of his inner black cloak; taking out a black wand and a small corked vial, filled with luminating green liquid. He uncorks the small vial, and places it in Lila’s lips — titling the vial so that the liquid could pour down her throat and drank it.
While feeding her the strange green liquid, he mumbled a few words as he waved his wand over Lila’s body. The twins watched the dark cloaked man, waving his wand over their sister’s body after he fed her something and both were astonishingly surprised as they were seeing before them. Lila’s wounds began to close up quickly; the marks she had on her body vanished, her bruised eyes started to heal also, and turn back to the way they were. As he healed mostly all her wounds — Lila however, was still under her coma.
