Me: Okay! Welcome everyone to chapter ten of "The Wonderland of Judai Yuki"!

Chapter Ten: The Jabberwock's Wound
After about an hour, the pain in Judai's wound was getting unbearable. He tightened his hold on his upper arm and whimpered behind grit teeth, as to keep Johan from hearing it.
He drew his muddy sleeve up and paused a moment to see his Oyster marking.
Thin trails of crimson blood streaked down his flesh, and Judai couldn't help but wince at the sight of it. He drew the sleeve up even higher to where the wound was.
The sight disgusted him.
There was no way that it wasn't infected.
The three gashes themselves were a horribly dark purple color, and the skin around them was a crimson red, puffy and slightly swollen. It hurt if Judai even ghosted his fingers over it. It was warm to the touch, and if Judai poked at the gashes, some blood would come from them and land on the tip of his finger.
I-it wasn't this bad before, Judai weakly noted.
He looked up to Johan, who he could hear several feet in front of him and gasped softly.
Johan was blurred, a mass of blue and white and black without a shape. Everything else was blurry as well, and the brunette felt like he was going to collapse any moment.
"J-Jo..." the brunette was too weak to say anything else.
His knees trembled beneath him, and before he knew it, he went sprawling face-first onto the dirt pathway.
Johan heard the thud behind him, and whirled around. His eyes widened when he saw Judai laying unconscious on the ground, face-first in the muddy paths that twisted and turned around Wonderland.
"Judai!" the bluenetted shouted.
He raced forward and dropped to his knees at the brunette's side. He shakingly grabbed the brunette's shoulders and rolled him over so that he was on his back.
Judai looked terrible, that was all Johan could think.
He was pale, his skin light, as if he were covered with a fine layer of ash. He had dark lines under his eyes, and he looked as if he hadn't slept in ages. His lips were trembling weakly, and he looked as if he were on death's door. Johan reached forward and brushed his fingers against the eleven year old's cheek.
"Judai..." he whispered in horror.
He didn't know what had happened. Last thing he knew, Judai had been just fine. He had been smiling, laughing, having a great time traveling around Wonderland.
And as soon as they finished running from the Jabberwock, he-
Johan's eyes widened.
The Jabberwock!
Johan knew better than anyone that the Jabberwock possessed a poison within its claws, within its fangs, within its blood, that could kill anyone, Oyster of Wonderlandian, if they took in enough of it.
The bluenette insantly set out on a search for any wounds that the brunette might have.
He knew what to look for. He had seen people before who came back from encounters with the Jabberwock with their wounds. The wounds were horrible, and Johan knew what to look for.
He ran his hands over Judai's arms and legs, trying to feel for scratches or anything that the brunette might have that would lead him to believe there was a wound.
When he reached Judai's upper arm, he felt a sticky liquid. Johan tore his hand away and rolled up Judai's dirty sleeve, preparing to see the wound that had caused the brunette to collapse in such a horrible way.
When Johan saw it, it was worse than he thought.
The wound was definitely infected, and it looked horrible, to say the least.
It was oozing blood, and the wounds themselves were almost black, they were so infected. There were three of them, long scratches across the boy's flesh, deep within.
"Oh, Judai," Johan whispered softly. "Why didn't you tell me?"
The bluenette didn't know what to do. He had never seen a wound from the Jabberwock this bad before. And even when they were small wounds, he wasn't sure on how to cure them of the life-threatening poison that gushed through it.
A horrible realization struck Johan in that instant.
Judai's going to die, and there is nothing I can do to save him!
Me: No! Judai's dying from the poison from the Jabberwock's wound, and there is virtually nothing that Johan can do to save his life! Waaah! Johan, what are you going to do now?
Lucy: Will Judai survive this or will he die in Wonderland in Johan's arms?
Me: As romantic as that seems, I hope that's not the case, because Johan will be heart-broken if Judai dies like that! Let us pray that he manages to survive this!
Lucy: Please review and we shall update!
