Shining Heroes

Chapter 88

*POV is still Melodic mood*

I woke up to the sound of Shining talking in her sleep.

"Dont do that..." she mumbled as the temperature around us began to steadily increase.

Suddenly she began to toss in her sleep.

"Hey it's ok." I said while moving closer to her. "Firefly wake up."

Immediately she shot up faster than she should have with her injuries. I cautiously placed my hand on her back and she was burning up like she was about to catch on fire.

"It was a just a nightmare." I said while carefully rubbing circles into the small of her back. "Everything is going to be ok."

She turned around to face me before abruptly laying down and hugging me tightly. At this point she was slowly starting to cool off and she slightly loosened her grip on me.

I looked over at her alarm clock and saw it was on a little after 3am.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked as she nestled her head into the crook of my neck and moved to where she was practically laying halfway on me and half on the bed.

"Not really." She said softly.

"Ok, well I'm here when you want to."

I gently ran my hand through her tangled hair as she drifted back to sleep. It didn't take long until I fell back asleep myself.

The next time I woke up it was to Shining quickly rushing out of bed and running into her bathroom.

I got up and followed her to find her puking. I quickly put her hair up in a top knot, so she wouldn't get any vomit in it. I sat on the side of the tub and rubbed circles against her back to soothe her.

"How much did you drink last night?" I asked after she stopped puking.

"Too much..." She groaned  and leaned agaisnt my leg. "Claire let me drink way too much."

Is that the mystery girl?

"Then Owen showed up, and the only way I didn't have to talk was if I was too busy with a drink."

"Its ok, I dont think he will bother you for a while."

She groaned and slowly stopped leaning on me.

"I'm going to go grab something."

After I left the bathroom to grab her some water I noticed that the water and crackers I had given her last night were just sitting on her coffee table. There was a single cracker sitting out of the sleeve discarded like a child decided it couldnt be eaten after missing a bite.

I grabbed the bottle off of the table and put it in the fridge when I was interrupted by a Mozart demanding food.

"One minute." I said to the cat, before searching round the kitchen for his food.

In the process of trying to find his food I found the painkiller I was looking for right next to a can of cat food.

I couldn't find his food bowl so I put his food in a small food container and took the pain killer and water back to Shining.

"I see you didn't drink the water I gave you last night." I commented as I saw her leaning against the tub.

"That would make sense as to why I'm feeling like shit." She mumbled.

"I tried to get you to put something on your stomach."

"I know..." She pouted.

"Here. I assume you probably need these." I handed her a couple pills and a bottle of water.

"Oh thank god." She said before quickly taking the pills and started chugging the bottle of water.

"You may want to drink the water slowly." I advised but she had already drank the whole bottle.

"I need to eat something." She slowly standing up and heading to the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"

Before I could response she had pulled out eggs, cheese and various vegetables.

"Do you want help?" I asked while she placed them on the counter.

"Sure, do you want to rinse off the vegetables while chop them?"

*POV change to Shining dragon*

I pulled out a strainer for Mood to put the vegetables in.

When I stood back up I got extremely lightheaded and Mood quickly stabilized me and took the strainer.

"Are you sure you're good to cook?" She asked while putting the pepper and cherry tomatoes in it.

"Yeah, I just moved too fast." I carefully grabbed my cutting board and a knife.

I assume that was why, because I've never had this bad of a headache after drinking. Honestly it might be slightly messing with me.

I carefully began to dice up part of an onion. I didn't realize I had zoned out and I was forced back to reality when Mood grabbed my hand without the knife. She just barely managed to pull my hand away as I was about to cut my finger tips.

"Ok, I'm taking away the knife." She said firmly before taking over cutting the vegetables.

I silently nodded my head and went to scrambling the eggs.

"Hey I know you are insisting oncooking, but why don't you let me do it?" She asked softly while placing a hand over mine. "I know you dont feel well right now. You don't have to act fine."

"But I am..."

"I'll finish up. You should rest and drink a bit more water." She kissee my forehead before guiding me out of the kitchen. "I'll bring it over when it's done."
