PART NINE
Loki looked at the moon; judging from its position it was around midnight. He was exhausted and he had a feeling Sera couldn't go much further either.
They were by the lake where the gang usually hung out during the day; it was about 3 miles away from the palace grounds.
Loki decided to rest for the rest of the night; he would get in more trouble if he came back at midnight than if he returned in the morning.
Loki sat Sera down on the grass by the lake. She sat there drowsily for a few seconds before lying down on her back, wincing whenever she moved her shoulder and neck.
Loki knew he had to help Sera's wound, she was losing too much blood. He began to pace the shore line keeping his eyes fixed on Sera. He bit his fist as he tried to remember something, anything; from all those books he had read in the past.
Suddenly the answer he needed popped into his head. Loki took off his shirt and dipped it in the lake. He kneeled next to sera and moved her top off her shoulder and neck; he then gently cleaned the burn. Sera jumped a bit but Loki carried on.
