Kendra hurried to Gavin and kneeled next to him. She put his head in her hands, his eyes were starting to close. That last punch obviously took the last of his strength. His face was swollen and puffy. He had two black eyes and tons of cuts on his right cheek (probably from his ring). His nose was blue (again) and when she put her hand on his chest, it felt like he had a broken rib. Overall, he looked like he was run over by a tractor. She stroked his face
"Don't comfort him! Don't you remember him betraying you and killing your friends!" Braken screeched. Kendra let out a sob
"No" she said softly. She didn't think Braken would even hear her between her sobs. "No" she tried to say again. Her words wouldn't work. After a minute of staring at his bruised face, she didn't see him like Navarog at all. She didn't regret kissing him, at all. "Heal him" she finally commanded.
"Heal the enemy? Kendra, why?" Braken said letting out a small laugh. Kendra couldn't look at Braken. She couldn't explain it all. She didn't have enough words.
Can't he just trust me? Kendra thought. She put her hand on his head. She remebered everything they had been through. The word that comes to mind is cowardly. Gavin had said, regarding why the Knights wore masks. They echoed through her head. Was Braken afraid to heal him. It was understandable, she used to love him. She wished he was better. She imagined him healing, and she closed her eyes to paint picture. It just made her feel better. She opened her eyes to look at Gavin. All of a sudden golden light shone from her hand. The light spread across his face and to his heart. Kendra held her breath Ummm what?! She thought. Braken looked just as surprised. The light glowed really bright for a moment, forcing her to look away. When she looked back, Gavin had been healed! She took her hand off of him and scooted away as Gavin sat up and rubbed his head.
"What happened?" He asked "I-I-I-I'm healed"
"I know" Kendra said "That's what we are trying to figure out"
