"This is bad, this is really, really bad!" Peter kept murmuring to himself over and over again. I was trying to think of a way to heal Koden. I had gotten really good at that when I was in the woods.
"Just shut up already!" I growled. It made heads turn. Not once had me or my brother say something like that when we were younger; but what do you expect when you're only company was Wolf's, trees, Orc's and some travelers every now and then. Peter looked at me with wide eyes.
"If you want me to help your brother then I need you to be quiet," I explained trying to be as nice as possible.
I looked to see if the wound would get infected. I put some antiseptic in and on it and started a very basic Elvish chant that would help anything heal. The wound started to close which was a good thing for Koden. I turned back to talk to Peter when there was a low moan from behind me. There trying to Sit up was Koden.
"Idiot lie down now," I said in a voice that even scared me a bit. Koden did as I commanded. I was glad he did. Once his head hit the pillow again he was out like a candle.
"Well that's done. Peter sit down and where did you get hurt?" I asked growing concern in my voice.
"It's, It's nothing." He was not good at lying at all. Well he was saying that he was trying to hid his arm. Before he could get it fully behind his back I gripped his upper arm and pulled it to me.
"Wow your an Idiot Peter . Nice going on trying to hide your ripped flesh from me." Shaking my head I started to pour some antiseptic on it. I could see him gritting his teeth in pain, trying not to cry out.
"This is what you get for not telling me earlier." If looks could kill I would be dead. More than once actually. I smirked back at him well he was glaring. I found some gause nearby and started to rap his arm. It took me a few minutes to finish it.
"Done. Now your not aloud to do anything stupid for the next week." 'Like that will help,' I added in my head. He nodded and walked away. I started to work on my own arm when I heard a low moan come from behind me.
"Hey how ya feeling?" I asked.
"Like I got run over by a horse," He tried to get out while moaning again in pain.
"Well you didn't you just got a knife embedded in between your ribs."He gave me a deadly glare.
"What I fixed you didn't I" He looked down at his raped chest, no knife embedded in it.
"Wha, how,when." He was hyperventilating now.
"When we were still in the great hall. Peter was really scared." I was trying really hard not to laugh. Koden got a smirk on his face.
"Really he was that scared," Koden clarified.
"So much so he was pacing."
"We should pull a prank on him. Pretend that I didn't make it. That I died."
"That's evil. I like the way you think." Koden chuckled.
I was running through the halls looking for Peter . I found him talking with Sam.
"Hey Emma," Sam greeted. I nodded in reply.
"Peter you need to come with me," I was panting to add effect.
"What, why, what happened." He was thoroughly confused.
"It's, it's Koden. He, he didn't make it." Fake tears were now streaming from my eye's. I stood up and tried to wipe them away.
"Come on if you want to see him one last time." Peter nodded and followed like a zombi. When we got there Koden was perfectly still and pale. It really looked like he was dead.
"I, I guess his cut got infected and I didn't clean it fully." Peter now had tears streaming down his face. I couldn't help it I started to laugh.
"Why are you laughing. My brothers dead," Peter said accusingly.
"Ah, man Peter you should have seen the look on your face," Koden said sitting up.
"You, you guy's tricked me." We both nodded. He looked pissed. Koden and I started laughing harder now.
"Sor- sorry Peter . It was ,your, brothers, idea." I managed to get out between the laughter. Peter shook his head and left to go find something to do.
"Wow who knew your brother was so much fun to mess with."
"I did." I rolled my eyes at the obvious. Koden and I started talking about our lives. He talked about his life in Rivendell and I told him about my life living in the woods and being kidnapped. It was fun. Koden was almost healed. He was able to leave bed in a day or so. It was nice getting to know him. He was kind, sweet, smart, funny and at times an ass. I don't know what he thought of me thought. Oh well guess I'll never know. Today Koden was going to be released. He must be happy that he was allowed to walk again. Whenever he tried I would push him down and lecture his for minutes on end. He has probably gotten bored of me by now.
"Hey Koden how are you feeling?"
"Fine ready to get out of the bed," He admitted.
"I would be too. Well then you're going to love this. You get to leave today." His eye's lit up in happiness.
"Really? Sweet. But does that mean we can't talk anymore?" He asked.
"No I would love to still talk like we have been lately."
"So yea ready to go?" I asked. He nodded. I held my hand my to help him up, seeing that he hadn't walked for a week but part of that is my fault.
"Can you walk?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes I'm not useless." I just rolled my eyes at him. I let go of his hand just to see if he would fall or not. He took a few unsteady steps and fell flat on his face. I tried really really hard but couldn't hold in my laughter.
"I, I'm so-sorry I ca-can't hel-help it," I said though the laughter.
"Could you help me?" He asked ticked. I held my hand out to help him up. Once he was up I put his arm around my shoulder to help him walk.
"Let's go see if we can find Peter ," I suggested. He nodded and we headed off. We looked everywhere but the main hall. We finally found Peter talking to Alex. She seemed to be trying to hold in her laughter.
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat to get their attention. They looked over to see me holding Koden up so he wouldn't fall.
"Peter can you get your brother before my arm falls off, he's really heavy," I asked.
"Hey I take offense to that," Koden screamed.
"Boo hoo cry me a river." Peter came over to support Koden and I got his arm off me.
"I can feel my arms and side again!" I yelled sarcastically. Koden gave me a death glare. I rolled my eyes and turned to Alex.
"Well now that Koden is better maybe we will finally have the feast," I guessed.
"Totally! Maybe we should see if Peter and Koden want to help us and plan with us that epic prank we want to do." I nodded in agreement. I was trying to think of a good prank that we could do to make everyone freak out. The wheels were turning in my mind as I thought. I started to pace the rooms length.
"Hmmm." I hadn't realised that I had made a sound until the hum reached my ear. We needed to think of the prank of the century. I finally got it. I ran to Alex and told her my plan.
"That's brilliant. Simply brilliant," She exclaimed. I gave a small bow and giggled.
