Chapter 10 – Reforging and Healing
POV Andrew:
I clenched my arm as Doc wrapped the splint around. I was still shaking from the shock the blade gave me as it broke. I glanced down at it. It was in two separate pieces. Jade was staring at them too. I looked at where the blade had sliced her leg. Where a massive gash had been, a glued-shut cut remained. She was flexing her leg and foot just like Doc had told her to do. It looked like the pain had subsided, but he knew better than to assume Jade was okay. She was tough. It took a lot to bring her to tears. This did. Even though they had stopped appearing, he knew she was still in pain even after the pain killers Doc had given her. Doc finished wrapping and turned to face Jade.
"I need to bandage that before it gets infected," Doc said. "Please lay on the bench, Jade."
"Sure," she said, letting out a sob.
She glared at me giving me this look like, if you so much as try to help me, I'll rip your manhood off. I smiled and she loosened up.
"I know you don't need my help," I said. "But that's my job. We are married aren't we?"
She smiled and laid down so Doc could go to work. He peeled out the temporary glue and began stitching the wound. When he was done, he wrapped the leg in a gauze wrap. A pair of crutches floated over to her and she accepted them.
"You both need rest to heal," Doc said. "I'll send John or Ashley with food when they get back."
"I'll start on it," Ash said out of nowhere.
"You're back," I said. "Is John okay, also?"
"I don't know," Ash said. "He grabbed Josh right before Josh teleported. I don't know where they went, but I'm not worried about him. He can take care of himself."
I heard a massive crash sound from the hangar. I got up and ran with Ash towards the sound. John was sitting against the wall with his head rested backwards and sword out in front of him. He had a burn along his left arm and his sleeve was burned away. He looked at us and sighed.
