Chapter 1
Maimed
A/N: Thank you RapidstarJ, Firelce, I Love Jay Walker Jaya 4ever, Kat (Guest), Astrid16, and jaya forever (Guest) for your fantastic reviews! :)
Pixal and Nya are fighting off the other Lacerators, and here I am, lying in my bed with another one over me, her claw raised over my head.
She swipes and I catch her forearm, opening my mouth to call for the others when I realize my mistake.
Her right claw slices.
I look as if this is slow motion, and see red spewing in the air, and a pink piece of flesh or something drops in front of my feet.
Pain.
I scream, covering my mouth as blood gushes out and seeps through my fingers, more than I have ever seen in my life.
"Jay!" Nya cries.
"What happened?" Pixal asks, but glances down at what came out.
My tongue.
White, hot pain sears through what-had-been part of my tongue and I let it all out.
I can't believe the scream is mine.
It's unearthly and it just hurts so much.
The door opens and the reptilian retreats while Lloyd and Cole pursue it.
"Jay!" Zane and Kai yell out in unison, rushing to my bedside.
"His tongue was severed!" Pixal informs them over my screeching.
"Jay, are you hurt anywhere else?" Zane inquires.
My mind reels frantically and I scream even louder if that's possible.
Just get me to the hospital and make it stop!
It hurts!
AH!
Make it stop that Son of the Overlord!
Just make it stop!
Hurry up, please!
"He's in too much pain!" Kai yells over me.
"We need to get him to the hospital, now!" Nya cries,
"Jay, Honey? You…"
Zane scoops me up in his strong arms and I feel a horrible throb replace the searing pain.
My throat feels dry and scratches as I strain with my solid screaming, soon dying to a feeble moan that escapes my blood-permeated lips.
The wooden floor changes to cement and soon…blackness.
"Jay? Jay, can you hear me?" a dreamy voice floats in my mind.
"Jay, Honey?" another voice calls me.
"Leave him. He needs rest," someone speaks softly.
"Will he be okay?"
"He will survive, but he will never be the same."
