"come on roxas" i yelled, roxas was trailing behind, he injury was begining to take effect, but so were mine, we would have to stop soon
"im coming sora just go!" roxas yelled, catching up slowly, we ignored the pain of our injuries and kept running, roxas had a bullat wound to the shoulder, i had a knife wound to the upper arm, he doesnt know, i dont want to worry him "i think weve lost him" roxas panted, slowin to a walk, his good hand resting over his injury, i stopped and turned to him, gently brushing his hand of his shoulder
"let me look" i said calmly, but firmly, roxas nodded and dropped his bag on the floor, gently and pulled his top of, the wound wasnt bad, hes had much worse, there was a small hole in his shoulder blade, the skin around it shredded and bleeding
"can you get the bullet out?" roxas asked, i had a proper look, the bullet wasnt to deep in
"yeah but it may be best if you lay down" i suggested, roxas nodded and slumpped to the floor before laying down, i flexed my injured arm, making sure it was still ok, i still had feeling so ill be fine, i gently applied pressure to the wound, roxas whinced "sorry" i whispered, he nodded, i gently stuck my finger in, roxas hissed in pain, i whiced, i hated causing my brother pain, even if it was helping, i dug my finger deep, ignoring roxass scream of pain, i felt the bullet under my finger and dug deeper til my finger was under the bullet, i quickly looked at roxas, his face was scrunched with pain, his eyes teary, i quickly pulled my finger out, brining the bullet with it, roxas screamed "sorry but its out" i said sadly, he sighed
"no worries sora" he sighed, his eyes still watery, he hadnt noticed that some had fell down the side of his face and onto the dirt below him, i grabbed the bullet and flicked it in a random direction before slinging my own back of and unzipping it, i looked through all my cloths, my weapons and finally found the medi-kit, i opened the box, it was running on empty now, me and roxas had been injured alot in the last 5 years, i grabbed the tcp and a bandage
"sorry but this is gonna sting" i sighed, roxas saw the bottle and shuddered, i gently put some tcp on a cotton bud and dabbed the wound, roxas hissed more and more, the more i dabbed, once i was sure it was done and wrapped a bandage around it, tightly "your done" i smiled, roxas smiled happily and sat up, slinging his tshirt back on
"damn hes never gonna stop is he?" roxas asked, hurt in his eyes
"no i guess, not till were dead like our parents" i sighed, my own eyes filling with hurt, roxas sighed and patted my shoulder
"well get through this, weve survived 5 years" roxas smiled
"i wouldnt say we have roxas, look at our bodies" i sighed, thinking about all the scars that cover both our bodies "that and how many kids our age know how to work firearms?" i asked sadly
"i guess your right, but atleast its not just one of us, insted its two" roxas smiled slightly
"true id be dead without you" i chuckled
"same, your the medic" roxas smiled
"you bet your ass i am" i smiled "even though were running out of supplies" i sighed, roxas echoed that
"weres the next town?" he asked, i quickly thought, i was good at geography
"ahhh twilight town" i smiled
"right well have to camp here tonight then" roxas sighed, i nodded
"yeah we will" i sighed, i quickly glanced at my watch, gettin a shooting pain in my arm, when roxas was alseep ill have to sort that out, it was 2:15pm, i sighed, still daytime, i layed my bag down and carfully rested my head on it, dont need my guns goin of, might attract him, and we dont need that, roxas copyed my movments and layed beside me
"wonder if mom and dad are proud of us?" roxas wondered, looking into the sky
"who knows roxy" i sighed, the pain getting worse quickly, i gulped back a whice and hiss
"i think they would be, yaknow for not giving up and all" roxas sighed
"hmmm i guess" i smiled, pain slippin into my voice, this cant be the injury on my arm, i must have another somwhere, i relaxed and tried to find the source of pain, all in all i couldnt
"you ok sora?" he asked, looking worriedly at me
"yeah" i lied, pain setting into my voice, roxas nodded and turned back to the sky, i bent my legs and a sharp pain shot up my body, i screamed loudly, scaring roxas, the bird flew out the trees in a scare
"sora! whats up?" roxas asked, mega worried now, i flattened my legs, another sharp pain, i screamed again, the pain was excruciating, i bent my legs once more, screaming again, but not as loudly, i ripped my jeans of from the knees down, and i saw why, right in the side of my left knee cap was a bullet wound, right under the bone, my eyes had watered "oh shit sora" roxas gasped, having a look at the wound, his eyes catchin the blood on my top, he ripped my sleeve of to reveal my gash it my upper arm "sora why didnt you say anything?" roxas asked
"didnt wanna worry ya" i chuckled, pain was the only thing in my voice now, roxas sighed, his face pained as he looked at my knee, i could feel my heart beating in my knee and arm, aswel as my chest, it was painful
"ill try to sort it out" roxas sighed, i nodded, i heard some shuffleing and grunching behind us, my hand grabbed my bag and unzipped it, ready to shoot if needs be, i turned to the area of noise, it was getting closer, my hand slid over my handgun, and i got ready to draw it at short notice, the shuffling was behind the last bush now, roxas had froze beside me, eyes wide and frightened, i will not let him get anymore hurt than what he is now, i gritted my teeth as the somthing jumped through the bushes, a blur of sandy yellow came to a halt infront of me, it was a dog, it had black floppy ears and a thin black tail, its fur was a bright sandy yellow colour, the dog barked loudly a few times before laying beside me, my hand slid of the gun and i kept it unzipped, and turned my attention back to my knee, roxas had the tcp out, and some bandages and a cotten bud, this goin to hurt, the dog yelped slightly, i patted his head before looking at his collar, it said 'pluto, resuce dog'
"so plutos what you doin out in the middle of a forest?" i smiled, stroking his head
"looking for people who are injured" a calm, husky voice said, my hand shot back into my bag, i dint draw my gun, i turned to see a tall redhead, i dont mean ginger i mean bright fucking red, as in blood red, but it highlighted his toxic green eyes and the teardrop tattoos underneath them, his eyes were worried and cautious, he walked through the bushes , he was wearing blue jeans and a black tshirt, he bend beside us "let me look" he said calmly, my hand tightened on my gun
"look were fine just go away" i growled, we didnt need anyone else to be dragged into our shit, the redhead looked at me, clearly shocked
"how can you be fine? me and my partner heard you screaming a mile away" the redhead asked
"look ive had worse and im still here so GO!" i growled, my hand slightly pulling on the gun, ill threaten him to leave if i have to
"just let me look, im a medic" he sighed, i glared and he glared back
"sora just let him, hes gonna be better than me" roxas sighed, i looked over to him, and nodded
"fine" i spat
"thankyou" he sighed "so whos injured?" he asked
"both of us but soras worse" roxas explained
"lets look at you then first blondie" the redhead smiled, i rolled my eyes
"its roxas" roxass growled
"ok roxas im axel" he smiled "lets see it then" he asked, roxas nodded and pulled his top of, revealing his chest and stomach, which were covered in scars, his shoulder was bandaged from earlier, axel gasped
"told ya weve had worse" i sighed, axel ignored me and removed the bandage from roxass shoulder
"this is...and unusual injury" axel muttered, roxas shot me a paniced glance "but its all sorted who did it?" axel asked
"me" i grolwed, axel looked at me
"im impressed" he sighed "now you" he demanded, i held my arm out and pointed to my knee, axel looked them both over, his eyes getting more and more suspicious, i could tell by the look in his eyes, he knew what caused these injuries "ok then ill call riku" he sighed flippin out his phone, he walked away slightly, we could only hear his part
"yeah i found them" he sighed "ones got more serious injuries than the other" he added "no not animal attacks" he sighed "yes that kind of injury" he sighed "ok see ya soon" axel sighed before flippin his phone shut "he will be here in about 5 minutes, just getting some stuff" axel explained, crouching beside me, checking my knee, i didnt whince when he applied pressure "how did you get these?" he asked
"no of your buisness" i snarled, axel glared at me
"well these look like-!" he was cut of by somone yelling
"yo axel" another calm, husky voice yelled, my hand automatically gripped my gun as i turned to the source of the voice, a man with long silver hair and striking green eyes was walking through the bushs, he was wearing the same as axel "found ya" he chuckled
"well sora, roxas meet my partner riku" axel smiled, standing up, me and roxas nodded, my hand slid of my gun and out my bag
"right so lets see whats happened" riku sighed, placing a bag on the ground, it had a '+' on it, riku looked at roxass first "hmmm i see what you mean" riku muttered before looking at my wounds, he swallowed slightly at mine, i hadnt looked, it was a giant hole in my knee, the skin around it was burnt and shredded, and bleeding quite badly "so boys whos been shooting at you?" riku asked, roxas looked paniced, i kept my face composed
"no point asking they refuse to tell" axel sighed, riku sighed
"well i can fix these up your lucky you wont have to go to hospital" riku smiled as he opened the bag, revealing a selection of things, he handed axel some stuff "you sort out roxas ill fix sora" riku suggested, axel nodded and began to clean and stitch roxass shoulder, roxas whinced with each stitch, axel saying soothing things to him, riku was cleaning my arms, luckly it wouldnt need to be stitched, but i think the knee one will, he bandaged my shoulder up and began to clean my knee up, i held back my hiss of pain "this is gonna hurt" riku warned
"i know" i sighed furiously, he dug his finger in my knee, i shut my eyes tightly and leveled my breathing, the pain was horriable, but i didnt scream or whince, once the pain stopped i opened my eyes, riku was holding the bullet inbetween his fingers, probably trying to tell what kind of bullet it was, i know, it was a handgun bullet, riku flicked it away
"lay down" riku demanded, i nodded and layed down, flattening my leg, whincing at the pain that shot through me "this IS gonna hurt" riku warned again, i nodded as he prepared his needle and thread, i closed my eyes and relaxed my body, i felt one of rikus hands rest on my thiegh, i felt him slid it down my leg, it sent a shiver through my body, then i felt him pinch both sides of the wound, i whinced slightly, my hands began digging into the ground as riku stiched it shut, it was a odd kind of pain, it felt familiar really, i scrunched my eyes shut further to the point of pain, my hands holding fistfuls of dirt and earth, my breathing was still calm and level though "done" riku sighed, i smiled and sat up, opening my eyes, my vision was blurred but cleared up quickly, i looked over at roxas, his face pained, i averted his gaze, i neeed to be strong for the both of us now
"thankyou" i sighed, trying to keep my voice level as riku bandaged my leg
"no problem its our job" riku smiled, now i could see it was up close, it was dazzeling, it took my breath away really "so where you heading next?" riku asked
"twilight town" i replied
"oh thats where were goin you want a lift?" axel asked, looking eager, me and roxas looked at eachother, i knew roxas wanted one, so i turned to riku
"yeah please" i sighed and i struggled to my feet, grabbing my bag, still not zipping it up though, roxas stood beside me, his bag over his good shoulder, riku and axel smiled calmly at us as they lead the way to there truck, weve done it again, weve put more people in danger, when will we learn?
