Saphire tried to move but she couldn't. She then heared a stabbing sound and another scream.

Agh!

She was near tears by now.

Another stab.

I've had it!

Saphire had finally found enough strength to move. She quickly leaped up and the thing killing Ash vanished.

"Ash!" Saphire stared at the boy. His shoulder and face was bleeding.

She quickly ran over to him. "A... Are you okay...?"

Ash shook his head. He was bleeding pretty badly.

Saphire grabbed one of his rolls of bandage and wrapped it around his wounds.

Ash was still too scared to speak. Saphire grabbed his arm and helped him get to the beds.

"Rest." She said, right away he closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.

Please... Don't let the same thing happen with me in his place...

The shock of almost seeing her friend die was almost too much for her.

Saphire watched him sleep.

Never again, my dear friend.

She closed her eyes tightly, not t open them for a long time.

Finally, he woke up.
