Oh no! Eris has fallen to her doom! DX! (Or has she? ;)
Oh, BTW, this one is going to be longer than most. Next chapter is a special someone else's point of view!
Chapter four: We made it!
I awoke in a room that smelled like peaches. It soothed me a lot, but part of me was wondering if I was being held prisoner in this nice-smelling room. "Toure ok." Said a shadow that was hovering over me. He coughed, and then said "You're ok." I blinked. And then he turned his head fully around and said to someone else, "Get her some medicine."
I thought I was going to faint.
'So we have arrived at the new tribe! Am I a prisoner?' I thought to myself as the creature asked me a question, saying nervously, "You are ok, right?" I nodded, too weak to speak. "The others you were with, we brought them here. Your name is Eris, right? The one called Laval told me so. He was very distressed when you fell off the bridge." I suddenly blurted out, "Am I being held captive here?" "No! Goodness gracious, no! I'm sorry if you thought that! No! No! We saved your lives!" said the thing. "What is your name?" I asked tentatively. "My name is Caspian." He replied. "No disrespect intended, but what are you?" I asked, amazement creeping into my face. We were finally at the new tribe! The one the journey was all about! "I am an owl prince from the owl tribe."
That surprised me.
"So, can I get out of bed?" I asked. Caspian shrugged. "Sure," he replied, "Just make sure you feel well enough to do it."
I carefully extracted myself from the sheets and gasped. "My wing!" I cried.
My wing was hardly recognizable. It was torn, bloody, and it hurt like crazy when I caressed it, so I stopped.
"The ice shard had embedded itself in the wing. We extracted it, but you became feverish. Your friends feared for your life, Eris." He said sadly. "How…how long was I out?" I asked.
"Twelve days." He said. "Your friends thought you were dead yesterday, you were so sick."
"Twelve days?! That's crazy!" I cried out.
I think he is lying! I couldn't have been out for that long! Or could I?' I thought to myself.
"I'm going to see my-" right before I could finish my sentence, Laval came in. My heart skipped a beat. 'Even cut up he still looks handsome' I thought to myself. "Can I come in?" he asked. "Sure," said Caspian. "Just give her some time." 'Time?' I thought to myself. 'How can he say that? Laval is okay with me!' But aloud I said, "Its ok, Caspian. He can spend some time with me."
"You ok?" Laval asked, concerned. "Your wing was all messed up. I thought you weren't going to make it."
"Laval?"
"Yea?"
"We made it."
"Yes," He said, smiling. "We made it."
The rest of the day we got a tour from Caspian around the Owl Tribe.
"This is the open air market. We sometimes host plays here."
"This is the doorway to the now demolished ice path."
"this is…"
On and on he spoke, I was just was enjoying the scenery.
The tranquility was shattered the next day, though
