Saving His Broken Mate

Chapter 21

Othossium (Oh-th-aw-see-um)
Assilem (Ah-say-lum) also has a nickname 'Ile' pronounced 'ee-lay'
Artemis, Hitcher these are pronounced just as they look haha.

"Othossium! Wait for me!" I yell at my blonde haired best friend as she runs through the dense forest with me on her trail. Her giggles are loud and her dress flows majesticly behind her, when she turns to look at me over her shoulder, her brown eyes seem to glow gold in the sun.

The cool wind grows heavy and it feels heavenly against my body, the warm dirt is felt between my toes and the sun heats my face. My own blonde locks flow behind me as I run.

"Hurry up, Ile! Or else the boys will get to the stream before us!" She yells back and seems to increase her already fast pace. I huff irritated, I hate running. It's never been something that I have liked, especially with my short human body.

I try to catch up to her and we swerve through the close together trees, the bright sunny day has made it so that my sweating is endless and my already light blonde hair grows lighter. Right now me and Othossium are on our way to the secret stream that is our hangout spot, we share it with our other best friends; Artemis and Hitcher.

Hitcher...

His green eyes are captivating. All the young maddens in the village have a crush on him, as do I. It's hard not to, his dark brown hair, tall stature, fair skin, bright smile and chivalry is all quite alluring. The way he looks at me makes my heart flutter, the warmth of his skin when he holds my hand or hugs me makes me want to just curl up in his lap. Thinking about him always makes me detach from all of reality, just like this moment. I get lost in the thought of him.

"Assilem! Watch out!" I hear from my friend right before I feel myself collide with a hard rough surface, I fall to the ground harshly and my already aching head smacks into the ground.

My vision grows blurry as I look at the bright sky that is partly covered with bright white clouds. I see the moon peak out from behind one of the clouds, as if it's watching me. Calculating everything I do, though the sight of it comforts me and seeing it slightly soothes my raging head.

"Artemis! Hitcher!" I hear her scream right before my hearing goes static... it seems like it's just me and the moon.

Seconds later two large figures are looming over me, blocking me from seeing the moon. That is till it somehow moves in between them, like it, itself is trying to make sure I'm okay. "Amdidnamsk," their words come out muffled and like gibberish. A blurry hand waves in front of my eyes as my eyes start to close.

"No no! Stay awake, Ile!" Is the last thing I faintly hear before black consumes my vision and I am knocked out.

The last thing being seen was green eyes. Not the moon.

Consciousness slowly starts to come back to me as does raging pain in my head. Quickly my hands flys up to my head and I groan. "Ile?" I hear a familiar deep voice whisper with a slightly cracked voice, as if it's been crying. I make a grunt that signifies my awakening, "oh my, I thought I lost you!" I now know it is Hitcher who is speaking.

I groan again and open my eyes slowly, a loud gasp is heard as I look over and my eyes connects to Hitchers. He gets up from the floor where he was sitting next to my cot that I am laying in. His eyes are wide and stunned. "What?" I ask him confused.

"Y-your e-eyes," He stutters and gives me a piece of glass lying close by and I look in it to faintly see my reflection.

Completely white eyes.
