Part Nine: Healing Talons
TK's POV:
The gryffin dove down through the trees, screeching in rage. Joe grabbed my arm and pulled me through the trees.
"Come on, TK! Run faster!" Joe cried, pulling ahead. "We're dead if that thing catches us!"
"But, Joe, wait!" I panted. "We can't outrun that thing! I hit it with an arrow once, maybe I can do it again!"
"I'd prefer running."
Ignoring Joe, I pulled out an arrow and took aim. The gryffin came racing at me. *Okay, you over grown bird, you're mine!* I let the arrow fly. The gryffin turned and the arrow went sailing by.
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath. "Man, why can I sink baskets but I can't hit a giant bird thing!"
"TK, come on!" Joe persisted. I turned to face him to reply. Joe's eyes went wide. "TK, behind you! Look out!!!"
I heard the gryffin screech in fury. I spun around just in time to see one of it's claws, a golden blur, swipe at my midsection. I stood there in shock and looked down. The gryffin had torn through clothing and flesh. I was bleeding badly. I gasped in pain and dropped to the ground. The last thing I remember was hearing the gryffin cry in pain.
Joe's POV:
TK was being ever so stubborn. I insisted we should run, but no! He had to stay and fight! And now he was lying, bleeding on the ground.
"TK! TK!" I tried to revive him.
He was losing blood fast. He needed a hospital! But there weren't any in this forest. I doubted there were any in this world at all. I heard the gryffin cry out in pain and looked up. A flash of wings, the glint of a sword blade.
"What the-" I stared at the sight. Whatever it was was visciously battling the gryffin. They took off, above the trees. I turned my attention back to TK. "Come on, TK, wake up. You can pull through."
I thought back to medical school. I ripped off some of my robe and pressed it to the wound. The blood flow wasn't stopping, the slash must have reached a major arterie. If I didn't do something fast, he was going to bleed to death.
"Joe!" I looked up. Whatever had attacked the gryffin had landed next to me. "Is he okay?"
"Matt?! Is that you? What happened?" It was Matt, but he had grown wings! He looked like an angel...again.(Note: Just wait, my next stroy will explain it)
"I-I-I-I found my form," he replied. He bent down next to TK. "TK, wake up. Come on little bro, you've got to pull through."
"The gryffin punctured an artery," I explained. "I haven't got the equipment to fix it. He's bleeding to death."
Matt grabbed me by the shoulders and visciously shook me. "Mornai said you and Mimi were blessed with healing powes!" he cried. "Don't tell me you can't fix it! You have the power, Joe! You can save my brother! NOW GET TO WORK!!!" He kicked me forwards, towards the unconcious TK.
*Okay, Joe, healing powers. Just use your healing powers. But how?!* I looked at TK. To my horror, his chest had stopped rising and falling. His mouth hung open, his head lolled to the side. I tried the basic CPR steps. I began to undo TK's shirt.
"Stop wasting time!" Matt snapped. "Come on, Joe!!!"
"Have patience!" I replied. "This takes time!"
After undoing TK's green shirt, I began with the chest compresions. Upon contact, I noticed my hands begin to glow. I closed my eyes at the brightness, but I could still see it through my closed eyelids. I removed my hands and the glowing ubruptly stopped. I opened my eyes.
"The wound!" I cried. "The blood! They're-- it's all-"
Gone. The wound had closed. TK was breathing again. I had done it! I could heal anyone and anything! I felt like I was on top of the world. TK moaned and slowly opened his eyes.
TK's POV:
The darkness around me swirled and gradually grew brighter. I opened my eyes and let everything gradually focus. A blurry figure stood over me, the light shining radiantly behind him. Silky white wings, and bright golden hair. An angel! Was I dead?
"TK!" The angel knew my name. He bent down(yes, the angel was definately a male) and helped me to sit up. His wings wrapped around me as he hugged me tightly. "You're okay! You had me seriously worried there for a second, little bro!"
The voice! It sounded like Matt. Could it be?
"Matt?" I asked wearily. "Is that you?"
"It's me TK."
"But you have-" A horrible thought dawned on me. "Are you dead?! No!"
"I'm very much alive," laughed Matt. "This is my form, that's all."
"Where's the gryffin?" I asked.
"Matt got it," Joe said. I looked, noticing Joe for the first time. "It got you pretty bad though. I thought you weren't going to pull through."
"But Joe's got healing poers," Matt smiled. "He's got magic hands!"
Matt began laughing at his own nasty joke. Joe and I couldn't help but laugh too. We were silenced however, by the sudden shaking of the ground. We stood up, looking around to see where the sound was coming from. That was when an ear piercing scream reached our ears...
Who made the scream? What's crashing through the trees? You've probably guessed but I'm not telling what. I'm sorry it took so long, I had lots of homework and writer's block. Read and review with your comments please! It's appreciated! ^_^
