Chapter 12

Seth's pov:

We walked to the front desk and the lady asked me for my name. I told her and anything else she needed to know. I look at Ophelia and she is looking around the room. There isn't much here except the desk and waiting chairs. Thank god no one else is here.

"Alright the dentist will come soon, y'all can wait over there," she says and points to the chairs against the walls. I thank her and walk over to the chairs.

"Are you excited?" I ask her. "yea" she says with a scared voice. "Why are you scared?"  "I've heard people talk about their mouth bleeding when they got their teeth pulled." She sounds so scared. She won't even know what will happen because of the anesthesia. This is the perfect time to mess with her. "Well you will be getting all your teeth ripped out so there will be tons of blood," I say trying so hard to sound serious and not laugh. She makes the most horrified face I've ever seen. "W-what???? I actually changed my mind-  My teeth are fine." she says with the most panicky voice ever. It's so hard to not laugh. "But don't you want to experience them stabbing you with needles to make more blood come out???" She starts hyperventilating. Maybe I took it just a tad bit too far.

"I'm joking, none of that happens." She looks at me. "Why would you say that?!" She looks mad as hell. I forgot how sensitive humans are for a minute. "It was a joke, I'm sorry. They actually just knock you out with gas since you are getting so many teeth fixed. It's like going to sleep but you will wake up not being able to feel your face."  "Why wouldn't I feel my face?"  "It's just the side effects of anesthesia and you won't be able to do anything normal, it's like being drunk."

The dentist finally comes. "Common," I tell her and she gets up. I walk over to him. "You can stay out here since she is an adult," He says. "I'm coming with, thanks." He looks annoyed. I'm not leaving a human alone in this world. It doesn't matter what they do.

I look over to Ophelia, she looks nervous. I wish she understood how easy this is going to be for her, well at least the process is, the healing is a different story. "You will be fine" I tell her, all she does is look at me before looking back to the floor.

The room looks different, or maybe this is a different room. Well whatever, I stand in the corner and watch the man. He tells her what to do and I translate it for her and she follows. The man says he's going to get the anesthesiologist.

I watch her teeth get shaven down and all the cavities pulled. On earth this would take her multiple appointments and weeks but we got magic so it'll take only a few hours.

Someone came into the room to get a mold of her teeth so they could get the new teeth made. They come back 10 minutes later with the new set. The dentist deep cleans her teeth before giving her the new ones.

I don't focus on the rest because I really couldn't care less. I watch the man. He seems suspicious but everyone here does. No one can be trusted here. It doesn't matter what they do. I'm surprised she is even trusting me as much as she is. Humans are too trusting, except the ones with trust issues. Ophelia doesn't seem to be one of them though.

She finally wakes up. It's been hours I think, I don't know. She looks around and sees me. She sits up and puts her hands to her face and looks shocked. She tries so hard but looks so confused. "I told you, you won't be able to feel your face for a few hours" I tell her and walk over. She tries to say something but can't. She keeps trying. "You have cotton in your mouth," I tell her. It takes her a second but she finally nods. "Thanks" I said to the dentist. He nods and I help Ophelia get up.

We walk to the front desk and I give the lady the money. Then leave. "Now it's time to go home," I tell her. Damn I haven't said that in so long. It feels refreshing.

I look down to Ophelia who I'm holding up with an arm so she can walk. She looks so out of it. "Are you happy?" She dazely looks up at me. "Mphya," is all she says. It was probably stupid to ask that when she can barely walk straight or talk.

This walk will be too long so I pick her up and walk home. She gasps. "What's wrong?" I ask her. "Imf so twall" she says and pokes my horns. "Yes, very tall," I responded.

The castle comes into view. We're almost home. I won't have to be in public anymore. Socializing is tiring.

I hear a sequel right next to me, it could have been a scream but it was right in my ear. I look next to me and see a shocked Ophelia. "What happened?" She turns so she can look at me. "I bith my tonge off!" She squeals and holds the gauze in front of my face. "That's not your tongue, put that back in your mouth."  "Iths noth my tonge???"  "No, now put it back before you actually bite your tongue off." She stares at me and back at the gauze. She puts it back in her mouth like she's gonna die if she doesn't.

"HOME!!!" She screams and points at the castle. "Yes, home," I say as I switch the bag to my other hand that's holding her up and I rub my ear.

I open the doors and walk in and the doors close. I walk to the right down a hallway that leads to a living room. I drop the bag on the floor and walk over to a couch. I grab the pillows and put them up against each other and put her on the couch against the pillows. She looks around the room and smiles, or does the best she can. "Thith a big room" she mumbles to herself. It's quite adorable actually. I walk over to a shelf and grab the TV remote and walk back over to her.

"Here you can watch whatever you want," I tell her and hand her the remote. Her face lights up. "A theveh remoth!" She starts pushing buttons. I don't think she ever held one before. "You have to push the red button to turn the TV on," I tell her.

After a while of me explaining she finds out how to work it. Hopefully she remembers this when she isn't all goofy. She probably won't though.

(Sorry if this wasn't accurate, I used my own experience of getting my teeth fixed as a reference but this is also a fictional story with magic so I guess it doesn't matter but some realisticness makes it better)
