Chapter 6: The Bite

Dean's POV

A high pitched scream wakes me up. I quickly look around and notice that Emma is no longer beside me. "Emma?" I get up when another scream sounds through the air. I run to the sound as fast as I can with one thing on my mind. Emma. She the other human on this island and this is what scares me the most. By her scream she must be in trouble or hurt. I don't want to think about her dying alone or dying at all. If she dies I don't know what I would do.

"Emma?" I say breathlessly, and pause for a moment. And then she screams again but she is closer. I race between trees, feeling the branches of the trees cutting into the soles of my feet, and my heart pumps louder and louder in my ears. I can't think straight. She screams again as I turn around corner. "Emma?" I can't Emma yet but I can hear her frantic footsteps and the deep growl of the jaguar chasing behind her. I move as fast as my feet can take me. I weave thought the greens and hop over long thick roots. All I think about it is Emma and the life we would have had on this island and the baby I would have held in my arms. God please let Emma not be dead.

I see Emma running by a small hill and away for her attacker, a black jaguar. "Emma!" I curse under my breath. Thinking fast I pull my knife from my pocket, I try to run up behind the jaguar before it can cause any harm to Emma and the baby. I'm less than two feet behind when the jaguar launches itself at Emma.

Mixed with pain and fear Emma scream as loud as she could as the jaguar's teeth dig deep into her flesh. Tears pooled in Emma's eyes and spill down her face. The blood seemed to pour form her wounds, I heard her bone break under the pressure of the jaguar's teeth. "Emma!" I cried.

In one swift movement I jump onto the back of the jaguar pinned beneath me. I take my knife and push it into the back of the jaguar. I raise my knife out of it back and bring down again and again. "Die!" I yelled. Even when the jaguar stops pulling on her leg and goes limp under me I continued to push the knife into the jaguar. After a few moments of this I become tried. I turn to look at Emma who is staring at me in horror. I look down and see I'm covered in the jaguar's blood. My khaki shorts are stained in blood. When I look back at Emma her eyes flutter for a moment and then she fainted. "Emma," I got off the jaguar and moved to Emma's side. I look over her body. The first thing I do is unlatch the jaguar stiff jaw from her left leg. I see there are no other major cuts another than the bite. Carrying Emma I walk back to the house.

The first house has all of it wall put up and par of the roof done. I walk up the steps and place Emma under the roof. I look out the window a cut out and saw large dark clouds coming our way. I must work fast.

Even though I don't want to I must leave. I go to the lake and wash the blood off. After switching shorts, I pick up the suitcase, some aloe, food, and water. Placing them next to Emma, I take one of the unfix dress and fan it out on her. I take some of the pants, create a pillow and place it under her head. Emma shifts lightly.

I make sure that her injury leg is exposed the blood doesn't look as bad as before, the bleeding has stopped. I touch her leg testing it. "Emma," Emma eyes open slightly. "I need you to tell me how much this hurts."

"It hurts a lot, Dean. Please let me sleep." Emma whispered with her eyes closed. I stretch her foot out and geared her reaction. She screamed but as I move her foot back she seemed to calm down.

The rain outside begins to fall lightly. Cool wind flows through the house and causes Emma to shiver. I want to hold her in my arms until the cold fades form her body. But I must focus on Emma's leg.

"The bone in your leg isn't broken but it is fractured." Emma nodded. Then I moved on to the bite.

I cut the piece of fabric the Emma decided were useless and place them in water. I add some specie I find in the ground. It is known to help prevent infection. I forget it name but I could never forget the ugly smell it gives off. I mix the solution. Taking one of the pieces of fabric I start to scrub at the bite. Emma's eyes flutter open, and her whimpers. Biting her lip she looks at me.

"It burns. Whatever you are doing please stop." She says.

"Emma I need to scrub the bite so that there is no infection, if I not you might not survive." Tears start to pool in her eyes again. I sigh. "I'm sorry." I continue to scrub the bite until I've scrubbed it completely. With the large dry piece of fabric I warp the wound tightly but not before place aloe onto it. I shake her slightly and Emma opens her eyes, "Emma," I call, "I'm done. Do you need something?" I ask. She shakes her head.

I sigh. It's been a long day. For now Emma is safe. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I think to myself. I need to stop working myself to hard, I need a balance. If I hadn't sleep in maybe Emma wouldn't be in trouble, wouldn't be hurt. But it's not just Emma this is danger, the baby is now in danger.

To be continued...
