Run

Seventy nine

He stumbles up.
"Yucca! Ludovicina!" He shouts.
Where are they? He runs out of the purple room. Suddenly the room starts spinning. I hear shouting but can't understand it. What's going on? Crack! Creeeeak! He lays there weakly then starts puking. Is he sick? Yucca runs to him and helps him to the bathroom.
"That hurt so much my stomach twisted," he says once he's done.
What was that? Yucca sighs and nods. Is he sick? He puts a thermometer in Acanthus mouth.
"It was just pain—"
"But I know you were worried," Acanthus says.
Oh he's not.
"Yes, now let's get you into some clean clothes."
He nods and Yucca helps him into clean clothes. I wonder why he was in pain. The horns... growing them must be painful. It definitely looks painful!
He lays there in the bed. Ludovicina and Walken run in.
"Yucca and I found you in a hole passed out so we brought you back. We were so worried!" Ludovicina says sadly.
He was in a hole?
"Oh... I'm sorry."
I look down. Walken sighs softly then hands Ludovicina the compass that he always has under the waist scarf.
"With this you'll never lose your way again."
That's where he got that from. He enclosed his hand around it. He must really treasure that. He smiles cutely.

Dream ends.

I wake up. He does too. I look over. He looks down and pulls out the compass. I look at it. I don't see it long as he holds it to his chest. I should go check on Perry next... I go check on Perry. He's attacking the dummy viciously but obviously weakly. I look down. He collapses. Then tries to get up. I sigh. I need to stop him. I try to stop him. I drag him away from the dummy. He manages to stumble to his feet. Poor thing. He runs back at it.
I drag him away, "don't make me get Suga and Jungkook to hold you down because I will do it."
He's sweating and shaky I probably could hurt him with just a simple punch. He's definitely overworked himself! He groans. I sigh. He needs water. I force him to drink water. I feel him go limp.

Dream.

Perry is tossed out but everything us blurry.
„can't see well!„
What happened? He stumbles around for a bit until he hears a voice. Who is that?
"Come on...it's okay.."
That voice sounds familiar. Actually no it doesn't. Perry starts to follow the voice. Where is he going?
"Where are you leading me?"
"Somewhere safer."
Somewhere safer?
"Okay I—I trust you."
I don't know if he should. He does follow. I sigh. He walks until he can't see.
"Damn it! Okay just find somewhere warm and dry."
Perry wanders for a bit until he falls backwards into some mud.
"Ooh this is warm! I could make a warm blanket!"
Is it really that warm? He falls asleep.

It's obviously after his transformation. He's gonna wake up with pain. He's walking around already transformed. Or not? He walks into the training room. What is he doing? He starts trying to use magic. He can't use magic? He starts a spell only to blast himself. What happened? He collapses. Is he ok? He stands shakily up. He looks hurt! He goes to start it again only for Walken to walk in and stop him. Oh my god.
"Just rest."
He definitely needs rest. He gives Perry some water. Why does he always overwork himself?
"I'm useless."
"No you're not."
"I can't do magic like the others."
"You don't need it... here I'll show you a way to fight differently."
He thinks he's useless? Walken summons Perry's sabatons.
"I'll teach you how to use these."
He summons a pair for himself. I smile. He first shows Perry how to put them on. Oh wow. So many straps to remember... oh my God! He starts showing Perry how to use them. No wonder they're gonna miss him... Perry collapses.
"Nngh!"
"Shh let's take a break, okay?"
"But—"
"I'm getting to worn out to do much more."
Perry smiles softly. I sigh. He sighs. I look down. He breathes softly. I sigh. It's obviously been weeks maybe even months Perry is using them. Wow he's really good! He stops and breathes for a minute. He turns to Walken who smiles. I smile. Walken hugs him and says, "good job.
I sigh.
"Thanks Papaw!"
I smile.
"Ima go hang out with Yucca!"
I chuckle. He runs out into the hallway. Does he know where he's going? Suddenly yucca flies into his stomach. Oh my God. Perry laughs cutely. I chuckle. Yucca lands.
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"
I smile.
"It's okay! A hug would make it better though."
Yucca pulls him into a hug. I chuckle. He picks Yucca up through the hug. Oh wow.
"Put me down."
I chuckle.
"Fine, Yucca."
I smile. Perry puts Yucca down. I sigh.
„something is coming.„
He shoves Yucca out of the way getting hit. What was that?
„my brain feels pain.„
Why does his brain hurt? He stops moving.
„brain hurts too bad can't feel to move.„
Oh my God! Yucca turns.
"What did you do to him?"
"I made him idiotic and unable to move."
Who is that? He tries to turn and see who it was but can't. I sigh. Yucca starts to sob softly obviously whoever it was is gone. I look down. He manages to get Perry into himself.
„I can still think inside of Yucca! I'm okay inside... I'm sorry Yucca."
What is going on?
Yucca breathes weakly then cries, "I'm sorry."
I look down. He runs out. Poor things... Yucca leads Ludovicina and Acanthus in. Oh my god. Perry manages to smile. Why is he smiling?
"Perry!"
He smiles cutely. Yucca smiles hugs. I smile.
"Please tell me you can help him!"
Can they help him?
"I don't know... we'll just have to try things."
I sigh. Does that mean the stupidity wasn't just an act? I think so! Yucca summons a bowl of broth. That looks gross.
"It's your favorite broth soup."
Oh it's his favorite.
„chicken steak!„
"What is it?"
Perry tries his hardest to answer. He can't answer?
"That's okay... you must be famished and exhausted."
He definitely is!
"Here."
I sigh. He eats cutely.
"Yum," he manages to say.
I smile.  Yucca's eyes go wide.
"Huh?"
"Yum."
I chuckle. Yucca starts to cry.
"Yucca no cry!"
He's not even talking right!
Yucca smiles softly, "I'm sorry... I just got overwhelmed... I know now there is hope."
"Huh?"
"Even if he can't speak correctly now that may return because Perry can talk at all... and that means he'll be able to move again too!"
"Perry love family."
I smile. He gives a cute glance. How adorable. It changes to be months later. He's laying there tiredly. What's wrong with him? He gets up.
„what do I do?„
Is he ok?
„I'm back to being me but... it's going to be hard to tell them.„
Why can't he tell them?
„what if they find out and decide to hurt the others?„
Oh no! He sighs sadly. Is that why he would act it too? I think so. He smiles. I sigh.
„I'll keep an act of it."
That is why he was keeping it an act!
He sighs. I look down. He looks in the mirror then down.

Dream ends up.

I wake up. I sigh. He looks away. I look down. He sighs and gets up.
"Where are you going?"
"Laying down."
I nod. He sighs. I sigh. He leaves. I look down. Maybe I should go check on Willow. I go check on Willow. He's sitting there quietly. I sigh. He turns.
"Hey."
"Yes?"
"I just came to check on you."
He sighs but nods. I sit down. He sighs softly. I sigh.
