Trouble in Terrorist's Town

A Healer and a Leader (Krinx)

"Michelle?"

The brunette's eyes flickered open with a groan,and she struggled to sit up. Gentle but firm hands stopped her ascent,softly pushing her back down.

"Krissy?"

She drowsily said,and blinked up at her fiancée,who was hovering  over her with a concerned look. Red and brown eyes met her own brown eyes,and Krism's voice softly asked,

"Are you okay?"

Michelle nodded slightly,and Krism placed a hand on her stomach,

"Take it easy bebe,okay? I had to wrap your arm up after taking the bullets out."

Michelle swallowed nervously,

"H-How many?"

"Four,"

Krism said quietly,

"I was afraid to do any stitching while you were asleep,in case you ripped them in your sleep."

There was a soft thud behind Michelle,drawing her and Krism's attention easily. Krism stood,and walked slightly out of Michelle's vision. She tilted her head up to hear what was happening,and caught snatches of a conversation.

"--is he doing?"

"He's doing better,but he can't be left alone for very long."

Mark? Markiplier?

"That's expected. Aaron was shot twice. He won't be stable for a while."

Yamimash? Shot?

"Krissy?"

There were frantic footsteps,and all of a sudden,Krism was kneeling beside Michelle,

"What is it?"

"Calm down,"

Michelle chuckled dryly,and looked up to see Mark,his usually floofy hair ruffled and sticking up at odd angles. The normal happy and carefree expression that made him resemble a puppy was gone,replaced by a worried,concerned,and grim look.

"Hey Minx,"

He said,

"You okay?"

The Brit nods,

"I've been better."

He chuckled darkly before nodding at Krism,and then he leaves the room.

"What happened to Aaron?"

Michelle asked,brown eyes growing wide as she looked over at Krism. The tan female clasped their hands together and kissed them before she said quietly,

"Aaron was out searching for medical supplies and he staggered back bleeding heavily. One bullet is embedded in a ribcage bone,the other is in his shoulder."

Michelle cringed instinctively,

"Is he okay now?"

"Well,he's conscious,but I had to get the bullets out. I stitched him up and bandaged him,but he's a bit unstable."

Michelle sighs,and Krism leaned over to kiss her nose,

"Don't worry bebe,it'll be okay."

They smile faintly at each other,and for a moment,they block out everything around them.

All of a sudden,a door slammed open behind the engaged couple,and frantic voices filled the room. Krism stood up quickly,and rushed over,out of Michelle's line of sight.

"What happened?!"

"I don't know! Dan got shot while we were looking for supplies,and then James got-- James got--.."

There was a choked sob,and Krism shushed the owner of the first frantic tone,while another spoke up,

"C'mon! We have to get him taken care of!"

"Aleks,we can't--"

Krism said softly,but the Russian snapped,

"Why not? We can still save him!"

"Aleks,"

Krism's voice was quiet,

"Dan's not breathing anymore. It was a chest shot,an execution. It's no use."

There was a muffled cry from the first voice,and Krism's voice comforted,

"Kevin,go with Aleks in the back,okay? Jordan and Seamus are trying to set up a place for more injured people to room up in."

There was another choked sob,and there was a dull thump as a body was set down. Two sets of footsteps retreated down a hall,and Krism reentered Michelle's sight.

"Who was that?"

Michelle asked,eyes wide. Krism sighed,and kissed her forehead,

"Those were some of the Creatures. You know,Machinima."

"Oh...Did someone..?"

"Two. They're...they're the first dead."

Michelle blinked back shocked and fearful tears,even if she hadn't known them,sorrow loomed in front of her menacingly.

"Don't worry bebe,we'll make it,okay? We'll make sense of all this mess,and we'll get as many people out as we can."

Krism says quietly,and Michelle nods,

"Krissy,are you okay?"

The dark haired female looked at her with an odd expression,

"I'll be fine."

"I love you,"

Michelle added in a murmur. Krism smiled and kissed her cheek,

"I love you too. Try and rest,okay?"

Michelle nodded,and closed her eyes,listening as Krism left the room,no doubt to check up on the others.

We have to get out of this hell,Michelle thought grimly,determined to keep everyone safe.
