Lucket 100 word challenge

by Emtheunicorn

Over in the Thank You Bucket community on Livejournal there is a 100 word challenge going on so I decided to post my ficlets here too. They are all unrelated oneshots, but are all about Lucket. Individual summaries and ratings are in each chapter.

26. Unexpected Help

"Water," Lucas croaked, his mouth dry and his throat sore. He briefly wondered why he wasn't dead. Surely he should have died from blood loss by now. He felt something pushed against his lips and moments later his mouth was blessed with cool water. It was unexpected; he hadn't anticipated his plea to be answered.

"You're alright," a soft voice whispered.

"Bucket?" Lucas murmured, looking up to find Skye crouched next to him.

"You're okay now," she answered softly. She was there to tend to his wounds, to save him. She had come back for him. Lucas was safe now.
