Chapter 11
Healing Hand
Jack Frost's Point of View
I sat by Raina's cot during the night, just incase she woke up and needed something. Before I knew it, the sun was rising in the sky and I started to check if she still felt warm until her hand grabbed onto my arm and started twisting it. She opened her eyes and when she saw me, she let go of my arm.
"Sorry." She said.
"No no, I'm used to checking if people's fever goes down and them waking up and twisting my arm to almost breaking point." I reply groaning as I rubbed my arm.
"How long was I out?" She asked, ignoring my sarcastic reply.
"Since yesterday, how do you feel?" I answer.
"Sore, it's been a long time since I got shot by a poisoned arrow."
"You've been shot before?"
"Yes, this has to be my third time of getting shot, but I always survive. It takes a lot more than a poisoned arrow to kill me."
"I was worried you weren't going to make it." I admitted as she leaned her head on her hand with a look that was trying to see if I was being serious.
"Jack worried about someone other than himself, that's a first." She replied sarcastically, but for some reason I didn't laugh at that.
"I'm serious." I say seriously.
"Uh huh, sure you are." She did not believe me.
"Fine don't believe me when I say that I was afraid that I would lose my best friend!" I reply in frustration and prepared to walk away until she grabbed my arm to stop me.
Turning around, I was met with her green eyes that were searching my own. I wanted to avert my eyes away from hers, but I didn't because I also wanted her to see the truth in them.
"You really are serious aren't you?" She asked with a confused expression.
"Yeah. Look I may joke a lot, but when it comes to something that I find serious, like kids being terrorized by Pitch or one of my friends getting hurt, then that's when I don't find a care to make a sarcastic remark." I answer sitting back down on the chair I've been sitting in all night.
Raina looked surprised by this, but thankfully she didn't make any sarcastic remark's about what I said.
"I'm sorry, it's just you've never had stricken me as the serious type. I guess I'm just not used to having anyone worrying about me when I get injured." She says after a few minutes of silence.
"Well get used to it, because you're going to be stuck with me until you recover." I reply with a grin.
"Ok I think I'm still under the effects of the arrow, because I thought I just heard you say that you were going to help me recover." She says with a worried expression, but I know she was hiding the sarcastic smile that was working it's way up on her face.
"Nope, but you did hear right." I reply trying to hold back my laugh.
"Yippee." She replies lying back down on her pillow.
After that, the days went by and I stayed by Raina's side throughout her time of recovery. I had to help feed her for a few days since she was too weak to hold onto anything I tried putting in her hands. When she got stronger, I helped her stand and I held onto her as we walked into the gardens everyday. The other's would come in to help as well and also entertain Raina when she was able to sit in a chair. Santa would tell his stories, Sandy would have us play a game of charades, Tooth and Raina would sit and talk while they made crowns out of the flowers from the garden, Bunny and Raina would paint easter eggs, and then Raina and I would just talk, tell jokes, and mess around with each other. During this time, we sort of forgot Pitch and the other Titan's. I noticed that Raina smiled more, but then she would be in her room looking out the window with a worried expression. I would comfort her and then the matter would be forgotten for a little while. During this time, I felt something, for some reason, whenever I was around Raina, I felt more happier and I wanted to be around her more and more, but I wasn't sure why. I guess only time will tell.
