Chapter 4

I just wanted to say thanks to faxMRpercabethPJ for a very helpful review! Thanks again!

All throughout the night I checked Fang's fever, and although it never went up, it didn't go down either. Around four in the morning, after sleeping peacefully through the rest of the night, Fang suddenly shot up from his place on the ground. Before I could even blink he was on his feet running towards the nearest tree. Once I finally processed what was happening (stupid lack of sleep) I slowly approached him from behind with a bottle of water in hand.

"Fang" I whispered, "are you alright?"

"No…" That was when I heard the lovely noise of my right wing man throwing up everything he had eaten in the past forty eight hours. I closed the distance between the two of us and began to rub small circles on his back, just like Jeb used to do to me when I was sick or tired.

"Shh… It's ok Fang" was what I said but most defiantly not what I was thinking.

After he was finished with his personal matter I helped him stand and together we walked back towards our campground. "Drink this" I ordered and he obliged. I had him lie back down and I rubbed his back until he fell asleep once again.

Sorry that was so short. I am going to post the next chapter later tonight or tomorrow!
