Bowser's Point Of View
As I jumped off the cliff, my senses were sharpened. I could smell the salty ocean. I could see the sharp rocks below. I could hear the air screaming around me as I fell.
When I hit the water , I did not swim for the surface, but let the cold water drag me to my grave.
When my lungs were literally bursting , I inhaled the furious salty ocean.
My eyes closed against their will.
My senses began to dull as I sank.
Somewhere I could vaguely hear another splash.
Images of my children flashed through my mind
Sorry kids , looks like I'm not going to get to see you grow up.
My senses sharpened somewhat as something grabbed a hold of my fiery red hair. It hurt a lot.
It grabbed me under the arm and tugged me upwards.
When my head broke the surface of the water,I was very disorientated. I felt small hands dragging me onto the soft dry sand but I could not feel much else. I had swallowed a lot of salt water.
The person ,I could not see who, my eyes refused to open, Whoever it was started to give me mouth to mouth .Their lips were small and felt very good.
"CMON BOWSER BREATHE!SHE WAS NOT WORTH JUMPING OFF A DAMN CLIFF!" The voice was female.
The voice faded in and out a little and her hands ,which were small but hard ,began to do compressions against my chest .
Air flooded back into my lungs.I choked and spluttered up a great deal of salt water.
My eyes finally learned how to open .When they did ,they found a raven haired angel with gentle violet eyes.I must have been hallucinating because there were giant angelic wings erupting from her shoulders.
She was staring at me concernedly.
"Who are you?'' I croaked.
"Raven Toadstool "she whispered.
I recognized the girl as the one who had hugged me. I had hugged back only because her hands had felt good , but ended up hurting her .I could see the blood on the back of her white tank top.
''Sorry" I whispered.
She looked at me curiously
"What?"
"I hurt you.I heard you when I was unconscious"
"Peach is a heartbreaker,she wasnt worth it..." she replied.
I blinked hard and her violet eyes filled with worry.
One of my ships flew overhead and the girl flagged it down by screeching at it rather loudly.
The wings I had hallucinated had disappeared.
Once down, one of my hammer brothers hopped out and flicked a hammer at the girl ,who dodged it with expert reflexes.
"STOP IT!" I roared, more like croaked.
The hammer brother stopped and looked at me with surprise.
''Lord Bowser? I NEED HELP!" he yelled to some parakoopas who jumped out and helped me up.
The girl nodded happily.
"Remember what I said " she mouthed.
I nodded. I would not kidnap Peach today, or ever again . I had wasted enough breath on her.
I wobbled over to my airship and got in.
The girl began to walk up the beach. Those wings reappeared on her back. Apparently I hadn't hallucinated them.
"Who is that papa? "Junior questioned running to my side. Worry was in his eyes.
"Raven Toadstool" I muttered.
We flew back to Dark land. I had some serious thinking to do.
END POV
Raven knocked on the castle doctor's door. Her back was throbbing painfully due to the salt water now in the cut. More than likely, it was now infected.
The toadstool opened the door.
His eyes narrowed in annoyance. This was the fifth time she had come here this week.
"You're injured Princess Raven!"
He ushered her inside .Once in, he lifted the back of her tank top to check the wound.
''What happened to you?" He questioned.
"Bowser hugged me"
She groaned in pain as the doctor , called Doctor Toadenstein , began to stitch up the wound.
"It had come from his spiky arm bands correct?" He asked understandingly.
She nodded numbly, letting her mind drift to anything.
Bowser.
When she had pulled him out of the water, She'd not been entirely sure he was alive.
Relief had washed over her in waves when he had begun to cough.
Raven hoped that he would be ok, He had looked so upset on the cliff.
Toadenstein finished stitching her up. She thanked him and walked out.
Bowser sat on his immense throne that night deep in thought.
Ludwig played a gentle tune somewhere in the castle.
Why did she save me?
"Papa?" Came an inquisitive voice
Bowser looked down to see Bowser Jr. attempting to climb into his lap.
Bowser lifted his son the rest of the way.
"What is it Junior?"
The small Koopa blinked cutely.
"The girl who helped you...she was pretty." He nodded as if he was agreeing with himself, before continuing.
"I don't think you should go out for a while, you look really shaken Papa."
The little Koopa's hand touched his father's face, a worried expression on his own.
Bowser made a face at him.
"Junior, since when do you tell me what to do?"
Jr.'s brow furrowed, a sign that he was about to throw a world class temper tantrum.
"Fine"
Bowser grinned at his youngest,who made a noise of delight.
"Play with me Papa?"
Bowser roared playfully and Junior let out a shriek of glee as he hopped down.
His father chased him around the throne room.
Yeah, I 'll stay home tonight, but later,the Mushroom Kingdom will feel my wrath.
Sorry Junior, but there's something I need to find out from this..Raven .
Bowser gave his youngest a look of deepest regret.
