OPEN YOUR EYES Chapter 12. Pulling Through
Moonstar's chest rose and fell with the labor of her breathing. Her breath was rasping and hoarse. Still she hung on to life with the last fibers of her will. She had made up in her mind in her head that she was going to see Raven's face one more time before she left this world. She was going to look into his violet eyes and tell him one more time that she loved him.
But still she lay unconscious and unaware of what was going on around her. She could feel that she was no longer in the cave. Now she was clean and lying on a soft bed. She could only hope that this time it was Raven who had taken her here and not someone else like the last time she had been injured.
All the time that Moonstar slept Raven sat by her side. For six days the pilot sat by her side unwavering from his vigilant watch. The doctor in the infirmary had cleaned up his wounds and bandaged them as well. But Raven had refused to lay down and rest. He did not care what happened to him he just wanted to make sure that Moonstar pulled through this. That was all that mattered to him.
On the second day after Shadow had slept and was up to full power again Raven sent him out to collect the Genobreaker. And that was what Shadow brought back. The Genobreaker was broken and barely walk able. It stumbled and limped down into the Zoid docking bay. That was when Shadow went to his work of repairing the systems. Thankfully the Zoid core had only had minor damaged and nothing major.
The room was spinning rapidly in front of Raven's eyes as he sat next to Moonstar's side for the seventh day. He was holding on to her limp and bandaged hand. He looked at her face and her beautiful features went in and out of focus. Raven shook his head in a weak attempt at clearing the dizziness. The doctors words rang in his head, "Sooner or later you will need sleep you aren't invincible you know." Raven had just pushed that doctor off and told him that he didn't care. Maybe he just needed sleep.
Shadow was still down in the docking bay with the Genobreaker. The Zoid was looking at another few days down there with the damaged Zoid. It had been damaged just as badly as Raven had if not worse. Still Shadow could take care of it. He was one of the strongest orgainoids said to be living. He would pull through.
Slowly Raven felt his eyes shutting and he could no longer fight the sleep that was preying on him. His head fell forward onto his arms on the side of the bed. He was soon lost in the darkness of a deep sleep that he had not felt in a long time.
Moonstar stirred ever so slightly later that day. Her eyes opened slowly. They felt so heavy to her as if they were new and she was unaccustomed to them. She groaned softly as the pain came flooding back to her. It was pulsing through her body and she looked down at her hands to see that they were bandaged. She shifted and then caught site of Raven. His head was lying on the bed next to her and his hand was laid across hers. His breath was coming easily and his face was so serene. It looked so different then when he was awake.
Moonstar just stared at him for a moment. Her breath was coming easier now than it had been and she felt somewhat better than she had in the cave. She still had a long way to pull through but even if she died she had gotten her wish. To see Raven's face one more time.
Soon enough Raven stirred from his sleep and sat up abruptly. He looked at Moonstar and saw that she was awake.
"Moonstar!" He said sounding relieved and overjoyed. "Thank God your alive!"
Moonstar smiled weakly and he kissed her as gently as possible. He was so happy to see that she had made it through.
"I thought that I was never going to see you again," Moonstar said quietly.
Raven nodded in agreement and the two sat with one another. Both were happy to see the other one alive and well for the most part. Still they had a long way to go in healing.
