Chapter 3
When I opened my eyes at dawn the next day, my ribs racked with pain. I sat up slowly and carefully unwrapped the now soiled bandages. The long laceration in my side was almost scabbed over but it was pink with the beginning of infection. I treated it with what little I had before wrapping it again. I packed up what little supplies I had and set of with a safe place to heal in mind.

Hours later, I was forced to stop, for the wound was burning horribly making it nearly impossible to breathe. I sat down on the side of the well traveled dirt path and rested. However, no other living being passed by as I sat there.
'I can't travel like this.' I thought gasping for breath. 'I think it's time to call on a friend.'
I rose unsteadily to my feet, and whistled a two-tone pitch, and within moments a horse-sized, black and red wolfish creature emerged from the forest. Its large ears twitched slightly as its massive paws carried it swiftly towards me. I raised a trembling hand and the beast gently collided it with its narrow muzzle.
"Hey Lucifer, " I whispered. "Sorry to call you like this."
He whined softly and gently nudged me with his nose. I moved back to his shoulder, using him as a support, as he knelt to the ground allowing me to get on his back. Once I was hanging on tightly, he loped off in the direction I had been traveling.

Night had fallen when Lucifer and I reached a new forest. He was tired and sweaty but that was nothing to the condition that I was in. The wound would not let me breathe in or out without the feeling of knives in my ribs. Lucifer twisted his head back and whined at me worriedly. I smiled at him weakly and encouraged him to keep going.
We slipped into the forest, unnoticed by the guards, and continued on. I no longer even cared where we were going for I was struggling to stay on Lucifer's back. He smoothed out his stride so I would not fall and made his way further into the woods. However, much of the land under the canopy of the trees was under water, forcing Lucifer to jump from island to island. The jarring of the landing triggering my pain, and eventually it overwhelmed me and forced me into unconsciousness.

The chapter is sooooo short! Makes me depressed but the next chapter will be longer I promise!
As always, let me feel the love and read and review!
