Chapter Four
(Still On A Cliff Above The Water)
As Musa looked over at Riven once more she noticed that his face had gone a bit paler, and the injury on his head had blotted up with blood again. She knew she was still not powerful enough to get them all the way up the cliff, it took all her power just to make that spell, but he needed medical help, and soon.
Riven tried to turn his head so she couldn't see his scar but she decided to look anyway.
"Stop fussing over it, it's nothing" he lied as he swayed away from her in an attempt to escape her grasp.
"You might not be able to see yourself but I can, and you don't look good" she told him matter-of-factly and after grasping his head turned it for inspection.
A faint blush erupted on Riven's cheeks showing his evident embarrassment of her touching him, but he said nothing.
She lightly touched his wound and murmured her apology when he winced, "You've lost a lot of blood", she told him and he could hear the concern in her voice. Somehow he forgot that he was suppose to be angry with her and looked up to study her face.
"You care?" he asked stupidly and immediately mentally kicked himself for sounding so nice.
"Of course" was her immediate reply as she gave him a look of shock, "How could I not, you did save me", she said and when he began to protest she scolded him into quietness again.
"I don't know what to do, I can't carry you and my powers are drained" she confided in him and looked up the steep cliff.
"I could climb", she suggested but he cut her off with a very sharp firm 'No!'. "You could fall and then what would we do" he said and even though he hided his concern she knew he was.
"Then what are we to do?" she asked as she dabbed at the edges of his wound to try and make it look neat.
(Twenty Minutes Later)
Riven felt warmth beside him and woke to the darkness of night, the moon beaming down on them, a throbbing head, and a sleeping Musa snuggled next to him, looking very comfortable while using his shoulder for a pillow.
They must have dozed off somewhere between talking about weapons and lessons of magic, it was not a very pleasant conversation and he should have realised it would send god himself to sleep.
As he moved a bit to get feeling back into his muscles Musa moaned softly and snuggled closer, now putting her delicate hand on his arm as she sighed.
In a way he felt completely at ease and quite happy to have her close to him, but in another way he felt that this situation was very awkward.
He was also aware that he must have been blushing profusely for he felt the heat high on his cheeks.
And it didn't help that Musa seemed to be waking up, her eyelids fluttering as she stretched luxuriously over him and opened her eyes to look over at him.
"Riven?" she whispered confused as she yawned then after a second or two realised she was lying on him and jumped back almost falling of the small cliff they were sitting on.
She quickly looked away happy he didn't say anything and realised it was dark.
"Well…ah… they must have started a search party by now" she said and while still avoiding his eyes tried her power.
"And that sleep was just what I needed" she squealed happily as she stood up and looked up the cliff as she had done earlier.
"I think its time I tried a transportation spell", she told him and after flexing her hands started chanting.
Place we want to be,
Send us there immediately
And after a brief second they found themselves on the balcony of Musa's room, with her standing and Riven sitting on the cold balcony floor.
"I guess we should get Professor Polonium to heal you" Musa said and felt a deep reluctance to leave him.
"Yeah I guess so" he said and avoided her gaze leaving her nothing to do than to go seek out the Professor. But just as she was walking through the doors of her balcony his voice stopped her.
(Oh Cliff Hanger, aren't I naughty! And a rude person not to write this chapter sooner, I'm sorry to all of you who have waited so long, so I want you to flame me, until next time, which will be soon this time).
