Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 6: Muffins
C j POV:
I gently regained consciousness. I felt ragged breathing above my head. I slowly opened my eyes. I looked up slowly to see Ian staring down.
"Your okay!" Ian chided and hugged me close. He couldn't get much closer, he was carrying me.
"Ian…" I rasped.
"Shh… I need to get you to the infirmary." He said softly.
"Let…" I hissed, before I was interrupted by Ian.
"Shh… Just calm down, were almost there." He said softly. I sighed, and closed my eyes.
A few Minutes Later…
"Nurse!" I heard Ian call.
"What has happened?" Nurse said calmly.
"She got hurt, badly…" Ian said, trying not to tell how I was hurt.
"Set her down, I'll take care of her, you can go now." Nurse said.
"But.." I heard Ian object.
"Out." Nurse said calmly.
I heard the receding steps as Ian left.
Ian POV:
Was she okay? I thought and thought. I was seated just outside of the infirmary, on the cold floor. I heard the small shrieks as Nurse assed the damage. I must have fallen asleep, because I was awoken by the small metallic clop of the door closing. I got up to see Cj standing there. She looked in pain, he back mostly stiff. She looked at me with tired eyes.
"Ceej." I said pulling her into a hug.
Cj POV:
"Ceej." Ian said, hugging me.
"Ian…" I said.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Just fine. Ian, I'm sorry for thinking I could take the rooks by myself, if it went for you, I would still be there." I said, my voice barely a whisper. I looked up at him. He gently kissed my forehead.
"I'm just glad your okay." He said.
The next Moring…
I walked stiffly to the table where Ian, Gabe, and Suki were sitting.
"Cj! I thought you got mauled by the rooks!" Gabe said.
"Gabe!" Suki said horrified.
"What?" Gabe said.
"Im okay Gabe." I said with a laugh.
"CJ!" Came a screech from across the cafeteria. James and Susan.
"Hi." I said.
"Your okay!" Susan said, throwing her arms around me.
"Yea.. I noticed." I said.
"I'm glad your okay." James said, hugging me too.
"Who are those people?" Gabe said confused.
"Old friends of mine." I said, using the old cover up I had for years.
"Got some competition, Ian." Gabe said. Ian threw a half eaten muffin at him.
"Not cool, dude!" Gabe complained.
Later, in the Observatory…
I was reading my book. Aware of Ian pacing the Observatory and Gabe questioning Suki. Suki later left, saying she had to meet a friend. Ray of course. Gabe seemed to have noticed, because he growled at this and left soon after.
"Ceej…" Ian said.
"Yea?" I said closing my book, and looking at him.
"Would…would you consider taking us when the battle happens?" He asked, uncertainty etched cross his face.
"You won't have to escape after the battle, you'll just walk out, free." I Said.
"Okay, than can we help in the battle?" He asked.
"Of course!" I said.
"Thank you." He said.
"No need to thank me, any Ward would have done it, its in our nature." I said. I slowly stretched, causing ripples of pain to flash across my back where my bandage was. Ian read the look of pain on my face.
"You okay?" He said softly.
'Perfectly fine." I said.
"Ian, how did you find me last night?" I said, standing up next to him.
"You said you wanted revenge, and the rooks were the ones that hurt Tiki. Midnight would also be a predictable hour. I arrived just on time." Ian explained.
"Thank you." I said softly.
"Don't thank me." Ian said softly, gently placing a hand on my cheek. The one that had gotten hurt. I suddenly realized how close our faces were. Without a moment's hesitation, Ian pressed his lips to mine.
"You don't need to thank me." Ian said softly.
I smiled.
How was it! Just a reminder, I OWN NOTHIN! Oh, and Cripple X, don't worry! In the battle chapters she will be fighting alone… and might just save someone's life… HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
