A/N Hey guys I hope my last chapter got you saying "I got to see the next chap" because he's the next chapter obviously so. I guess you guys can sit back and chill for a few minutes and read, on with the show!

Chapter 17: Love or death

Cynder was pressing sown on the wound trying to think of what to do before Kirk bled out. She had already stood there for over 5 minutes thinking of what to do. She still couldn't believe she had skewered him, she was so angry at Demodius she forgot about Kirk and did the unthinkable.

Her mind was racing until she saw some clothes around the tent, she would've gone and gotten them but she might kill Kirk by releasing the pressure. "What am I gonna do it will take too long to drag him over" she thought. "Alright I'm gonna have to do this, don't you dare die while I'm gone or I'll never hear the end of it from Glacia". Cynder said to the unconscious Kirk. She breathed in, let go of the wound and ran for the cloths….

The end of the day at the temple

Spyro and Glacia were still a mess they were barely even doing anything, it was like everything they cared about died with their loved one. "I should've gone with them; maybe they would still be alive". Spyro said still frustrated that the Guardians didn't allow them to go. He was pacing around the room thinking when a knock came on the door.

He opened it to find Cyril who was breathing extremely hard "Spyro… You and… Glacia…Need to come down to the medical area". He finally said through his breaths. Spyro was confused and asked "Why"? Cyril just said it's Cynder and Kirk".

Spyro grabbed Glacia only after he mentioned it was about Kirk and got down to the infirmary ward. When they got there a nurse told them they had to stay outside while they worked, luckily they allowed Cynder to leave she wasn't hurt at all. "What happened to Kirk"? Glacia asked tears going down her face.

Cynder began to explain "We were captured by a dragon I used to know called Demodius". Spyro interrupted "Ya we know he sent a letter to us this morning, what happened next though". Cynder breathed in trying to think of a way to explain this Demodius tortured Kirk with poison and cut him up really bad during the night". Glacia flinched when she said this and a tear came from her eye again "Is that why he's in there"? Glacia asked. Cynder shook her head and continued "He didn't hurt him to bad from that he healed fast; Demodius was trying to seduce me cause a few things from our past". Spyro got visually angry but held it together. "We'll talk about that later". Spyro growled.

Now came the hardest part, she would have to tell Glacia she was the reason why Kirk was hurt so badly. Cynder sighed and continued "He was hurt badly because of me". Glacia was surprised and shocked to hear this and started to listen more intently. "When Demodius was trying to… have his way with me Kirk was able to pick the lock on his cuff and attacked him, they got into a fight and I was able to save him. Demodius started taunting me when he raised a shadow cloud, he put Kirk in between me and him at the last second and I stabbed him with my tail blade".

Everyone was shocked most of all Glacia, Cynder was starting to tear up as well "I'm sorry, but I did everything I could… I don't expect you to forgive me". Glacia stood there completely frozen for about a minute, Spyro and Cynder waited for her to respond.

"It's ok Cynder I know you didn't mean it, so I forgive you". The nurse came back out and said "You can speak with him but keep it short he needs his rest". Glacia raced in and the other two followed, when they came in they saw Kirk was fixed up as best as the doctors could, he was lying on his back and the only thing attached to him was a needle that was connected to his arm that went through a tube to a crystal that was constantly flashing. "That crystal is showing that his heart is still going" Spyro said as they came in.

Glacia was relieved and was now crying with joy, "oh ancestors you're gonna be ok". She practically yelled. Kirk coughed and said "Ya I told you Cynder would get me out, did you tell them"? Cynder nodded and Kirk sighed "Glacia are you ok with it". Glacia responded "Yes I forgave her, what about you"? Kirk smiled and said "I forgive you too, it was an honest mistake". Cynder smiled knowing she had true friends that didn't care that she was previously evil were with her all the way.

The nurse came back in and said "Kirk needs his rest you're going to have to leave, I'm sorry". Glacia kissed Kirk and the trio walked out still worried for what will soon come next.

Ok I's another short chapter I know but all I really wanted to do was show Kirk was still alive. Next chapter may take a few days while I think of some finer points of what's gonna happen next so hold on. See YA!
