Chapter 9
He placed another bed by a corner of the room, and gestured for me to lie down. I laid on my stomach knowing that he was going to attend to my wing. I was correct when he placed a chair beside the bed to sit on. He brought a bucket with water in it and a rag over to where I was and sat down as Jerome came in with the group trailing behind him.
He began to clean the wound with the damp rag. I hissed when the rag touched the tender skin. It hurt like a bitch but I knew it had to be done.
"Jerome, I need your help." Sky said, still cleaning my wound. A frown was plastered on his face.
"Sure, what do you need me to do?" Jerome asked.
"Jerome, go into my kitchen and bring me a wooden spoon and a knife, please." Sky said.
"Why do you need a wooden spoon and a knife?" Jerome asked puzzled.
"Just go get me the knife and wooden spoon, you'll see soon enough." Sky said, focusing on my wound again.
"Ok." Jerome said as he walked into another room. He came back after a while with the spoon and the knife that Sky had requested.
"Thank you." Sky said after Jerome handed him the spoon and knife.
"Ty, bite down on this whenever you feel pain. Don't worry if you break it. Just don't bite your tongue or lip, ok?"
"Ok." I said nodding, all though I didn't like were this was going. Why would I need to bite down on something?
I was deep in thought about why I would need to bite something when Sky took hold of the knife. Now I knew why I would need to bite down on something. So I bit on the stem of the spoon and shut my eyes, awaiting the pain but it never came. I opened my eyes and looked at Sky. He had the knife in his right hand while he just stared at the other.
Before I could ask what he was doing, he brought the sharp knife to his left hand and cut across the skin. He created a long cut from one side of his hand to the other. Blood began to group up in the palm of his hand. Then he tilted it, allowing the blood to fall onto my wing. As soon as the first drops of his blood hit my torn skin, an excruciating pain shot through my wing. It felt like there was a flaming-hot torch held right against it, better yet like he just poured lava on my wing. I bit on to the spoon so hard, that it shattered into dozens of pieces.
I looked at his hand again when the pain subsided a little. The blood had stopped, but that wasn't all, there was no cut on his hand. Not a scratch, nothing. How could that be? He had just cut his hand with a damn knife, how in the Nether was there no cut on his hand?
Sky POV
I didn't know what to do. As I cleaned Ty's wing, it became clear that he would never be able to fly again. Unless… no it's too risky, I don't even know what would happen if I did. But on the other hand he would be able to fly again, that is if it worked. He couldn't be a hybrid dragon without being able to fly, it's just unheard of.
I made my decision, I had no other choice.
"Jerome, I need your help." I said, still cleaning Ty's wound. I could feel a frown on my face.
"Sure, what do you need me to do?" Jerome asked.
"Jerome, go into my kitchen and bring me a wooden spoon and a knife, please." I said.
"Why do you need a wooden spoon and a knife?" Jerome asked puzzled.
"Just go get me the knife and wooden spoon, you'll see soon enough." I said, whispering the last part as I focused on Ty's wound again.
"Ok." Jerome said as he walked into another room. He came back after a while with the spoon and the knife that I had requested.
"Thank you." I said after Jerome handed me the spoon and knife.
"Ty, bite down on this whenever you feel pain. Don't worry if it breaks. Just don't bite yourself, ok?" I didn't want him to hurt himself, because I knew this was going to hurt like a bitch. If it didn't kill him first that is. I gave another prayer to any god that was listening.
"Ok." Ty said, I could see confusion in his eyes. I was going to hate myself if this didn't work.
After a moment, I grabbed the knife. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Ty bite down on the spoon and shuts his eyes. He thought I was going to use the knife on him.
I wanted to see if the knife was sharp enough, and if my plan would still work. So while Ty had his eyes closed, I gently stabbed my left hand to watch what it would do.
I was happy to see that it sealed up almost instantly. I just hoped it would do the same for Ty.
He looked up at me again. 'I sure hope this works.' I thought to myself. I swiftly brought the knife to my hand and glided the knife across it. Blood began to pool in the palm of my hand. Yet I felt no pain. When there was a good amount of blood, I tilted my hand allowing the blood to fall.
As soon as it made contact with Ty's wing, his back arched in pain. 'Well shit' I thought as I could do nothing to help. I watched as Ty bit down on the wooden spoon. There wasn't even a cracking noise, it just instantly shattered. Suddenly, everything became an eerily quiet. I looked at his wing, only to see dark black scales instead. So it worked, but was Ty ok?
He started to sit up and before I could place a hand on him to make him lay back down, he raised his hand up. So instead I helped him sit up.
"Ty, you ok?" I asked hesitantly.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. Are you ok, I mean you just stabbed yourself?" Ty asked looking at my left hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine. See…" I said lifting up my hand. "All healed." I finished.
"How…" He asks looking at my hand.
"My blood has healing powers. It doesn't hurt for me, but hurts like a bitch for anyone else." I say as Ty looks at me
"Oh…" Ty says looking at his wing. I smiled at how quickly it healed.
"So, are you ready to try flying agai…" I wasn't able to finish before I heard a scream coming from outside.
I was first out. I looked around trying to find the source of the scream. I heard rustling and looked over at some tall bushes right as I saw TrueMU run out from them. He was screaming.
"Jason, what's wrong?" I shout at him.
"SKY, RUN!" TrueMU yells back.
"Why?" I yell in return.
"JUST RUN!" TrueMU shouts as he runs past me. I look behind me as Jason runs to my house. I stop dead as I hear a deep-throated growl coming from behind me. I turn around expecting something else, but what I saw made my heart stop.
That's not possible…
