I became couscous again. I could not move or open my eyes. It tried to movebut my body screams in protest. I layer there but what was most torturous I could hear everyone around. I heard whispers of Ivy and Covington woods. I feared what I already knew. She would go to the towns to fetch medicines. I felt a presence beside me. Someone grabbed my hand it was not my mothers. It was Ivy's.
"I am leaving, to fetch you medicines."Ivy whispered I could hear her teary , Please do not put yourself in harms way for me.I asked her in my headI am not worthy of you and your selflessness. Let me die and try to live a good life without is what I wanted to say to her but could not. Her hand leaves mine and she leaves. When I hear the door closeI am back to being lost.

It felt like years since I last heard Ivy. I could hear the elders talking but I could not make out what was being said. I heard commotion coming from outside. Shouts and cheers. Someone was at the door it way a boy.
"Ivy has returned with medicines from the towns. She was attacked by a creature and killed it."He said rather loudly. I heard Mrs Percy break out into tears.
That's was my girl.I would of smiled if I could.
A few minutes later the commotion reached outside of the house. I heard her walk in and she grabbed my hand again.
"I'm back, Lucius."She said softly I could hear the small smile in her voice. I heard shuffling all about me. Something pricked my arm and i was forced back into darkness.
