2. Chapter 2

I picked Virginia up with all of my strength and carried him back to my place. When we got there, I put him on the couch and covered him with a blanket. He was covered in sweat, and he felt very hot. I had to get someone, but I couldn't leave him.

I went outside and yelled for help. But it was quiet. What do I do now? I went back in and saw him open his eyes. He was weak. "It's okay. I'll help you. Just let me see your arm." I lifted his arm to get a better look at it. The cut looked worse than when I first saw it. It was swollen, and it looked like he was cut with something poisonous. I grabbed a cloth and wrapped it around his arm. "Go back to sleep. I'll be back with help."

I went to Sola. She knew a lot about injuries. When she saw the worried look on my face, she knew something was wrong. "Jeddak, what happened? Who's hurt?"

"Virginia. He came back. He has a bad cut on his arm. Looks like he was scratched with something poisonous. He is very sick." She looked worried too.

"Virginia, I'm back. Sola's going to help you." Sola untied the cloth carefully and looked at the wound. "You were right. He is poisoned. But before we anything, he needs to rest."

I stayed by his side. I couldn't just leave him to be in pain. He needs to be ok.
