Tom's POV:
I gazed at Maddy with complete worry. Her body was so small and beaten. I do not know how we can heal her if we can't take her to a hospital.
I thought to myself for awhile pacing back and forth while Rhydian was stroking Maddy's hair and Shannon was in the chair simply staring into her hands. If I could just get my hands on the proper supplies. I kept trying to get an idea, but they all lead back to us having the proper supplies. While I was deep in thought Shannon got up from her chair and came over to me.
I swear , if she complains that im not doing a good enough job i'll -
"How is she doing?" Shannon face clearly shower her worry over our best friend.
"Ok so far, We gave Mads the rest of the pain-killers and she is still unconscious." Still in thought, I looked up at Shannon.
"Do you really think she will survive?" asked Shannon, her eyes begging for the truth.
I shook my head "I really don't know. She ain't holding up so well, after we run out of these pain meds she will be back to screaming in bloody murder." Then I jumped up with an Idea.
Trying not to alert Rhydian I whispered into her ear, "We need help from the outside, nothing here can help Maddy now. We need an actual doctor." I could already see Shannon about to protest.
Before she could say a word I said " I know, we should be the only humans to know about WolfBloods. But if we don't Maddy won't survive this! Look at her, just because she ain't screaming doesn't mean she's not hurting. Even with super healing, Maddy won't recover from this!"
Shannon looks at me still unconvinced. "Listen Shannon, I know my Mom. She will be shocked at first when we tell her, but she would want to help Maddy! She may be able to help her! Of course we will have to convince Rhydian, but look at him! He will do anything to save her"
"Fine, we try to convince your mom to not reveal WolfBloods AND help Maddy. But you get to convince Rhydian." I frown, but I agree to Shannons conditions.
I look over at Rhydian and he is by Maddy, holding her hand. I felt sad for him, ever since Maddy left in the first place he has been... different. And now he gets her back just to have her about taken away.
When I get close, Rhydian looks up. I can tell he hadn't had much sleep, then again all of us pretty much stayed up all night with Maddy. "Shannon and I have an Idea on how we can save Maddy." Rhydian immediately jumps up and demands how.
After explaining my idea to Rhydian he sighs, but then finally agrees. "Really? I thought.. you know... you wouldn't like us sharing your secret and all." I was surprised. Rhydian looks at me and says "I will do anything for her, she would have done the same." So me and Shannon leave to my house to tell my mom. This will be interesting.
Rhydian's POV:
The whole night I stayed with Maddy. Some point during the night I heard Shannon and Tom talking, but I couldn't care less. I'll I could think was Maddy. I may have fell asleep at one point for I had a dream...
I was running through the woods when a flash was behind me. I kept running wondering who it was. I look back and I see Maddy, laughing and giving me her cheeky grin. I laugh back and keep running. We spent awhile chasing each other until she caught me.
Suddenly I felt her hand clasp my wrist. I slowed to a stop and she jumped onto my back and we both toppled over. I was looking at her face, about to say something when Alrik went and grabbed her. I heard her screams, but I could not see her? I get up and run to where I find Alrik. "She's gone." He says, "She disobeyed me and gave me a reason to dispose of that pesky tame." He laughed a deep laugh and I look down. There I see Maddy crumbled on the floor, blood covered her.
"NOO" I shouted, I went to grab for her and suddenly we were somewhere else. I look down and Maddy is falling down a ditch. I go to grab her and she keeps slipping from my hands. "I love you " She says and then disappears into the darkness.
I wake up with a start. What did that dream mean? I look down and saw that I was still holding Maddy's hand. If I didn't see her wounds she would look so peaceful. I hear footsteps approaching me and look up. Tom was walking towards me, I heard his heart beat quicken.This should be good. I thought to myself.
"Shannon and I have an Idea on how we can save Maddy." As soon as I heard that I jumped out my chair, not worried about Maddy waking up.
"How!" I demand. My own heart beat quickens at the thought of being with Maddy again. He explains to me how we should tell his mom about wolfbloods and she could get us to the hospital without prying eyes and blood test.
I sigh, It is against our rules to tell humans of our existence. Tom and Shannon only know on pure accident. But I will do anything for Maddy.
"Fine" I say, "Go tell your Mom, but be careful. If she is calm about it bring her over here to check on Maddy."
"Really? I thought.. you know... you wouldn't like us sharing your secret and all." Tom looked surprise. I look straight at him and say "I will do anything for her, she would have done the same."
Tom grabs Shannon and they both head out the door. I look back at Maddy, her waist was still bleeding. My stomach then rumbled, Wow, being distracted all this time I forgot how hungry I was. I walked into the Smith's kitchen looking for some grub. I searched their freezer. and... nothing.
Next I look in their pantry, there were a few rows of cans. I grab a can and look at it. Chicken Soup. Ehh. I take it over to the opener and cracked open the can. I popped a piece in my mouth and put the rest in the microwave.
Suddenly a painful scream filled the house, pounding into my skull. Maddy. I run into the dinning room, there on the table was Maddy and she was thrashing and screaming tears of agony. I started to panic, What happened, why in the heck is she screaming! I ran next to her and held down her legs to prevent further injury, she whimpered and continued to scream in agony. I can't do anything to help her! Oh Maddy.
