The Ice Blue Moon
Gourry went into the next room, and decided it was best to stay in the room…so he could be near Lina, if she needed him. He lifted the Pot of water and shirt stuffed with the fish and dragged into the room she was resting in. He then made another trip, bringing in as much of the firewood he could, and the only pot in the house. He broke off a large portion of the ice fish, and dumped it into the pot, then set it to the side. He picked up some firewood, and placed it in the fireplace, taking care to stack it neatly, so he would not need to refill as often. Using his sword he struck hard against the stone fireplace, causing streaks of tiny sparks to fly all over the place. A few caught onto the wood, and caught fire
With the first try! He boasted to himself
He then turned his attention to the pot. There was a box in the kitchen he had filled with ice, so that the squirrel meat and remaining fish would stay cold for a few weeks, had Amelia and Zegaldis take longer to find them. Everything seemed to be coming into play here, he grinned to himself, now all he need was for Lina to get better. His Aunt had always told him to stay positive no matter what, and the positive will find him. Remembering some of the seasonings he left in his pocket, he reached into his bag and then emptied hem into the now boiling fish stew. The aroma was intoxicating, and boy was his mouth watering. He then reached into his bag again and pulled out a small mug with blue designs. Dipping the mug into the pail with thenow melted water, he pulled out water and placed it beside him. He pulled out another small mug, one with red designs, and small hearts, and dipped it into the water. He then lifted it out, stood and placed it by Lina's bed.
When you wake up, you should be thirsty. Here, ill leave it by the bed for you.
He then went back, and pulled out a blue bowl, and filled it with his blue spoon. Settling by the fireplace, he turned towards Lina and began to eat.
Maybe if I tease her a bit, she'll wake up and eat, he thought.
Lina, do you want something to eat? I made a very good fish stew here. I know it has been days since you ate, you should be very hungry.
She didn't answer. He sighed to himself and spooned a large portion of soup into his mouth. Looking down, and finding nothing to concentrate on, he looked back up, and his eyes locked on Lina. Much to his surprise she was sitting up. Wide-eyed and sickly looking. Gourry was shocked, stunned and scared by this. Slowly he regained his senses and stood up.
Uhh…Mornin Lina! Ya hungry? I've made some fish soup, and it tastes pretty good, here, ill fix ya a plate.
Gourry waited for a response, but the only one he received was a plop from Lina falling back down in bed. He quickly fixed her a plate and took his and sat down beside her. He took her spoon full of the stew and placed some by her lips. She parted them, and swallowed the seasoned mess. A little dribbled down her chin, and Gourry quickly wiped it up. She looked up at him and her eyes softened.
Gourry she said I…I am not feeling so well.
Of course not! Your forgot already! You were bitten by a snake.
No.. Silly, she smiled. Her face became sad and tired. I am not feeling well…do not think.. I can pull out of this.
I don't know Lina, you've gotten out of tougher jams
Gourry…you stupid jellyfish for brains.
Hearing the nickname made Gourry brighten up immediately.
See look at you Lina! You are up and yelling at me again! Soon you'll be clobbering me, and we'll be back on the road.
Well, Gourry, the Light always burns brightest, before it goes out. She said quietly
Looking confused Gourry looked at her again. What did she mean by that? Well, he shouldn't worry about her anymore; she was up and at 'em again!
Lina, there was something I wanted to say to you… and umm, I wanted to say… uhh… give me a second to remember.
Lina laughed quietly, placing Gourry in even higher spirits. His Lina was back! And she would never leave him again. Oh.. that's right! That's what I wanted to say to her!
Lina, I remembered what I wanted to say now. I wanted to wait until you were better before I say it. He spooned another spoonful of food into her mouth, and she gratefully gobbled it down. Well Lina, when you got really sick from that snake bite.. do you remember? It happened a few days ago. Well anyway, I had been thinking about maybe what would happen if I lost you. And well, I don't want that to happen. I missed your bad temper a lot over the past few days, and well, I care about you lot, and I don't want you to die all right? I love you a lot, and umm, I need you to stay here with me. Okay Lina?
The words stung Lina like the venom that was slowly destroying her body. How could she explain it better… that she would be dead…in a few days, hell maybe in a few hours. How could she make him to understand that his words were just a waste of time. A huge waste of time! She couldn't be there for him. Did she want to? Oh L-Sama yes! More than anything. But what is she to do, with no one to heal her, and without the strength to heal herself. What was she to do?
Lina?…
DaDaDUMMMM. Well, there you have it, Lina is deathly ill, and doesn't think she will pull out of it. Gourry thinks she will. Who is right? Who is wrong? Will evil win out, or will good overcome it. Why am i talking all this crap? Why haven't you reviewed! Time to go, Bye you guys!
