Robin POV

I wake up in a field, alone and with dark, churning clouds above promising rain soon. Rising clumsily, I bit back a groan of pain as my stiff muscles seize up, the most pain coming in a single line across my back. I look over my shoulder to see a patch of dried blood staining the ground, in a matching splotch just barely visible on my dark coat.

Taking a deep breath, I force myself to hurry over to the trees lining the road, deciding that they can provide adequate cover from the rain while I'm still looking for civilization. I make it just into the tree line as the first heavy droplets fall, quickly becoming a downpour as I follow the road through the forest.

Not long after I leave the field, voices echo through the woods, dimly reaching my ears in voices distorted by the storm. Not taking any chances, I break into a run, trying to get as far away from the voices as fast as I can. I know I've been found out when the sound of someone running after me catches my ears, and I barely hold back a scream as I fall into a stream, the cold water soaking me and chilling me to the bone. The harsh rocks of the streambed cut my hands and elbow, bruising the rest of me as I scramble upright and wade through the rushing water to the opposite side of the stream. I forge on as splashing alerts me to the continued pursuit, and in desperation I search through the deep pockets of my dripping coat, finding a serviceable, but worn Thoron tome. Without hesitation, I throw back a rushed bolt of thunder, aiming at the ground to disorient my follower, just as another force, heavy and clanking, barrels into me from the side.

"Let me go! Get away from me!" I scream as hands wrap strongly around my wrists, restraining them behind me, and another set takes my tome, though both are somehow gentle. I try to fight back, struggling pointlessly in the strong, armored hands of my captor. "Let go of me!"

"Milady, calm down!" Frederick's stern, grounding voice booms in my ear as the weight on me lifts, no longer pinning me down, although continuing to restrain me. "Just breathe, you're safe."

Tears begin to burn in my eyes as my throat clogs up. "Fr-Frederick?" He releases my wrists and rolls me over, and a mop of blue hair, soaked from the weather, looms over me. "Ch-Chrom?"

He pulls me up and into his arms, radiating the warmth I lack. "Gods, Robin! Why did you run from us?!"

I shiver and feel the tears mixing in with the rain soaking us all, wrapping my arms around him weakly as he holds me in place strongly. "I-I di-didn't kn-know i-it was y-you…" I gasp out, trying to hold in the tears but failing miserably. He runs his hand over my back, and I nearly shriek in pain as he touches the wound.

His eyes widen as he pulls his hand back. "Robin, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were hurt!"

I shake my head as exhaustion settles in. "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound. I'll be healed in no time."

A bottle is shoved in my face as a hand settles on my shoulder. "Drink some of this, Milady. It's one of Stahl's concoctions he instructed us to give to you when we found you."

I accept it with shaky hands, and nearly drop it before Chrom takes it and pulls out the stopper. He holds it to my lips and tips the potion into my mouth, forcing me to swallow it before I can ask questions. When the bottle is empty, he hands it back to Frederick and sweeps me up into his arms as a wave of warmth and dizziness comes over me. "What was that…?" I ask, dazed from the effects of the potion.

Chrom kisses my temple, and smiles against my skin. "Something that would help you to get over the shock of coming home. Naga had warned us you may still be in shock when you returned, and we were hoping that we could find you first so we could help you get back to yourself sooner with this stuff."

I wrap my arms around his neck and curl into his arms a bit tighter. "Thanks." My eyes drift shut as he carries me away, his heartbeat lulling me to sleep.

I feel his chest rumbling in slight laughter as he whispers, "Sleep well, my little Robin. You'll need it to deal with your sister-in-law."

I got bored in math class, and here is another result of that.

I do not own Fire Emblem Awakening.
