Hey! I'm so happy people like this story! I'll try to update as often as I can. Sorry for the grammatical errors in my last chapter. I reposted it so they should be fixed. I also added more details. hehe. I'll try extra hard from now on though. sorry for any inconvenience. With that enjoy! :)
Zephyr's POV
I awoke to a sharp pain in my arm. My eyes snap open and I'm blinded by the bright light. I look around, squinting, to see Vashyron leaning over me pulling out a long piece of shrapnel from my right arm. I was in my barren room, with only my bed, table and chair. He gave another tug. Once again intense pain flared up.
"Stop!" I yelled at him as he was about to yank once again. Unfortunately my yell had startled him and he jumped back with the piece of shrapnel still in his hand. It was ripped from my arm, blood flew from the metal all over my room. Vashyron stood there looking at me with a humorous look.
"He-he. That works." He said brightly as if he spared me much pain. Which in truth he probably did I just wasn't very thankful to him at the moment. I glared at him as he started to clean out the small slivers of metal still in my arm. After he bandaged it he poked my leg. I grit my teeth as a wave of sheer agony shot through my leg. Vashyron saw my reaction even though I tried to hide it. He smiled sheepishly at me.
"Sorry, here lets put this in a better splint." He picked up two three foot long plywood boards and some bandages and, of course, Duck Tape.
"Is that really necessary?" I asked him hoping it was just a joke. He only shook his head with an amused smile.
"Of course it's necessary. You want it to stay on you right?" He replied fully enjoying my reactions.
"Well, get it over with." I said lacing my voice with distrust. He leaned over and picked up my leg and started to wrap it with the bandages and the plywood placed firmly against each side. I grimaced with the pain but held in the cry's every time he bumped the swollen knee. When he finished he pulled out the duck tape. He had a malicious glint in his eyes as he approached with the roll. When he thought he had me I rolled to the right, off my bed, and speed limped out of my room, slamming the metal door behind me. I tumbled down the stairs, limped to the couch, and plopped down onto it with a groan.
"Hello Zephyr." Leanne squeaked out from the kitchen. I looked over and she had a worried look on her face.
"Hi Leanne. Don't worry I'm fine." I said trying to reassure her as she still had that worried look. She faked a smile and then her face turned hard. I turned on the TV and got ready for the lecture. I picked my small MP3 off the little end table, put in the ear buds and turned the music up so I could drown out her words. Now I could only tell if she was speaking or not. I pretended to watch the TV.
Heh. Leanne doesn't even know I have my ear buds in.
I smirked. My plan was going perfectly. Just smile and nod and it will all be over soon.
Leanne's POV
"Zephyr, I'm disappointed in you. I'm sure Vashyron is too. You cant rush in like that. You could have died!" I yelled at him. He looks over at me and nods.
"How are your wounds? Are they healing yet?" I pause he smiles at me and nods once again.
"Is there anything I can do to for the pain?" He looks at me and nods once again.
"Oh! Well what do you want me to do?" I start to mumble to myself.
"Could...could I um... do you want a hug?" I asked fully expecting a snort and a weird look. Instead he turns to me, locks eye contact with mine and nods once more. I'm so shocked I'm speechless.
He's never liked physical contact before. Is he in that much pain he just wants some comfort?
I lean over and wrap my arms around him and hug him firmly but gently. I feel him stiffen he looks at me and jumps away. I fall off him and stand up glaring at him.
"What was that for?!" I yelled at him. He pulls something out of his ears and yells back.
"Why did you hug me?!" I glare and take another step forward.
"You told me to! I asked you and you nodded! I thought you wanted me to!" I scream at him.
"No!" He yelled back at me taking another step forward so now we were literally in each others faces.
"whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down why don't you. If you want to kiss that badly just do it. I'll turn around if you want." Vashyron said from the stairs. Zephyr and I both jump away as fast as we could. He landed on the floor as I hit the counter behind me. We really had been only a few inches away from each other. I could feel my face burning as I looked over at Zephyr who was beet red. I let out a small giggle seeing his face so red was comical. He stood up and glared at both Vashyron and myself. He limp-ran up the stairs to get away from us. I heard the metal door of his room slam shut.
"Oh darn. And I thought I was going to get to see some action, if you know what I mean" Vashyron said.
"Pervert!" I yelled and started slapping him. That was normal for Vashyron. Why he thought of this stuff I have no idea. I sigh and walk upstairs to Zephyr's room. I knocked on his door and got a growled 'leave me alone' I sigh again and walk downstairs to start on dinner.
Sorry it was short. This is probably the end of this arc so I'm open to suggestions. :) Please keep in mind that I'm only on chapter 4 of the game. I havn't yet defeated Return of Caligula! Anyway please R&R! :)
