Sorry for not uploading sooner my grades haven't been that great in school so most of my focus has been on that. So to make up for lost time I am uploading two chapters and I think that's the end of this
I'am also thinking of changing the title to Always please give advice to whether I should
Chapter 2: Hurt
(Nod's POV)
Ok if you've ever gotten knocked off your ride, fell through countless trees and branches, earning yourself numerous scratches, cuts, and bruises. On top of all that you are incapable of walking. Then yeah that's how I feel, but a hundred times worse.
I don't know how long I was out, but when I woke up the sun was just peeking over the horizon. I tried to move but even that little movement made me want to scream with discomfort. My head pounded fiercely. Ever so gentle I got up to my forearms and surveyed my surroundings. I caught sight of a broken branch that would make a perfect shelter.
I crawled toward it trying to forget about the pain that shot up and down my body. Once inside the makeshift shelter. I rested my head up against the base of the tree before starting to asses my wounds. A deep gash was present on my chest. I had some herbs for the wound. If I get out of this alive I was going to thank Ronin for always making sure I had survival supplies handy. Continuing my examination, I found my left leg was cut up, and my right ankle was broken. Making a splint for my ankle. I didn't have anymore herbs so I toke another leaf and wrapped it around my leg. All my other scraps weren't life threatening so I left them alone.
Laying there I tried find a way to get my mind off of the pain. I started to wonder about MK, did she return to the stomper world? Was she worried about me? Losing conscienceless my last thought was on her.
Standing inside of the Moonhaven's grand ballroom I was dressed in my ceremonial Leafman clothes. Horns blared as I turned toward the grand staircase. A loud voice boomed through the room. I recognized it as Nim's
"Leafmen and women and fellow Jinns I present you your knew queen."
Curtains opened and a small Jinn steps forward garbed in the traditional green and white clothes of a queen. Looking around the room I saw MK thankful that she hadn't left I was thrilled. Walking over to her I found her sitting alone on the windowsill. She was wearing a short pink flower dress. Sitting down beside her I grabbed her hand, but to my shock my hand went right threw hers. I tried again but the same thing happened again.
"Nod why did you have to go " tears streamed down her face she made no move to wipe them away.
"He was trying to protect you" a strong male voice entered the conversation. Ronin was in his uniform with his normal bland expression having a hint of sorrow.
I couldn't believe what was going on everyone here was a figment of my imagination. They had to be they just had to. I just couldn't I wouldn't believe that I was dead.
"No this isn't happening" all the sound around me stopped. I could only heard the sound of my own breathing. I wanted to deny it, but I remembered how injured I was.
A cold feeling was sinking into my body I was dying.
"Nod, Nod?"
I would never fly again.
"Nod, where are you"
I would never see MK again.
"Nod, respond kid where are you"
I would never hear Ronin's voice whether it be fatherly or commanding.
"Noddddddd"
Wait I know that voice
"Nodddddddddddd"
MK she's here, I am not dead she's calling out for me. Her voice brought me back into reality. I could feel my body it was tired and wanted to sleep, but I wanted I tried to open my eyes but they remained shut. I tried to make sounds but my throat was dry.
"Nod please respond" MK yelled
"MK, he probably can't respond, if he fell off his bird he would of most likely of hit his head and been knocked out" Ronin voice was smooth but anyone who knew him well enough could hear the concern in his voice.
The old man was right I had hit my head. I felt more warmth seep into my body. Again I tried to respond any way I could . My left arm was moving just enough for me to feel for the tree right beside it was a sharp stone. Grasping the rock with all my might I hit it against the tree.
"What's that" MK's voice sounded frightened.
again I hit the tree
"I think it's coming from over there" she sounded very close probably because she turned around
Silence followed MK's response Ronin was probably giving out hand signals to some Leafman. A rustle of leaves sounded before I heard muffled shouts of excitement. A hand grabbed my body, but I groaned in protest and whoever did it stopped. I was laid down on my back the pain eased from my limbs.
"Nod, Nod, please don't leave"
The rock was pried from my fingers, I could feel someone lifting the helmet off of my head and setting it down again but this time it was raised a little bit.
"Nod, is he ok" MK's voice broke
"I don't know but he is alive and I don't think he's in any danger of dying" Ronin spoke
"That's good"
I was in MK's lap, her tears were falling on my face. At that moment I felt more alive than ever. MK was here and I didn't want to ever again leave her side. Pain racketed my body as someone gentle pressed against my bad ankle. I wanted to scream but only could a sharp groan and a very painful expression.
"What are you doing?" MK's voice sounded slightly angry.
"I'm trying to find out how bad his injuries are." Ronin's voice was comforting, but he still sounded worried.
MK's tears quickened their pace down my cheek. I wanted to comfort her so badly. I tried again to open my eyes they refused for the longest time, but finally very reluctantly they slowly opened.
"Broken ankle, cut up leg, gash on chest, and numerous scraps and bruises." My voice was almost gone, but I knew Ronin was going to keep poking me till I woke up.
"Nod you scared me half to death" MK's beautiful emerald greens eyes were a treasure I wasn't sure that I would ever see again.
"Sorry to worry you." She looked beat up herself, but she was ok that was fine with me.
"Your a gluten for punishment aren't you" Ronin looked at me with obvious relief.
"Look whose talking, you probably have more injuries than I do." I smiled painfully, but I was glad to see Ronin.
"Can you walk" Ronin's face soften just for a minute then returned to his serious face.
"Don't think so" I smiled weakly. I was growing more exhausted, I tried to stay awake for as long as I could.
"Go to sleep leafboy, I'll still be here when you wake up." MK's words were the last thing I heard before slipping into a peaceful sleep.
