So, I take my nephew Eli into town today. He's delightful in all the stores. He loves book stores the most and wanted to pick stuff for Brandon and the others. They were mostly unfitting but he means well and they'll think its cute.
But this isn't the story. I come home to find Jack pinned against the wall by some samuri sword wielding Chinese lady, shouting Mandarin or something at him. I stuff Eli in the closet and charge across to help.
I manage, one bloody shoulder later, to pin the girl to the floor, but it's taking all of my strength. Jack calls my brother, who is very angry that this lady put his son in danger. He hauls her off and its revealed she's bleeding and as Jack was trying to fix her when she woke up and freaked out. And murderous. It escalated when Brandon showed up. She flew into a fit of rage scrabbling across the floor to get to him. It took ALL of my strength and then Jack too to try and hold her back.
We had to call Cody because she clearly didn't speak English. When he was there, he said she was speaking ancient Chinese, at least 400 year old dialect. He made out the words "Dragon. Kill. And honor."
So we tied her down with the industrial cable rope we use on me, and Jack was able to stitch her innards up. We found on her person the exact same watched as Brandon's. There was only one. There was a giant slice across the stomach.
We thought maybe (because the house wasn't full enough) Lola's presence would help. And it did, she gave Brandon a tongue lasing for having Eli in the closet.She also gave the girl a blood transfer (being matching). The girl calmed slightly in Lola's presence, and with Cody's help, trying to speak to her she stopped shouting enough to drink water. When Eli came out and ran to his father, the girl calmed more. We're thinking we need to keep her contained until we get someone who speaks dead Chinese. Until then, it takes two of us to move her into the bathroom, two of us to re-restrain her and I'm not sure how Christmas is going to work with her in the middle of the living room.
Keep you posted on the strange woman.
