A Rooted Reality [OSC story]

Chapter 5: Red Snow

Mr. Winn reminded me of when I needed to come back and what needed to be done. He wanted me to try and talk to the other object I saw last time.

I entered the machine with dreary eyes; it transported me there much quicker then the first time I went. I'm guessing it was because I didn't need to change forms this time.

It was still snowing in this strange world. It was much lighter then last time though.

"Agh.." I grumbled and gripped my chest in pain.

The small house stood a couple yards from me. It was a short walking distance so I started walking over.
My feet dug into the snow, which was about 4 inches tall. As I got closer to the house I started feeling drowsy and lightheaded.

I fell down and groaned, slowly blacking out.

(Lily pad's POV)

It was a light snow day so I decided to spend the day reading. I held the book in my hands and read the words scattered across the page. I jumped up from my seat as I heard a loud thud outside

"Ugh! When will those pests stop getting in my trash." I groaned and walked through the hallway with my book still in hand.

The door creaked open and what I saw wasn't what I thought it was.. what stood in-front of me was that guy from yesterday, but he was on the ground with drips of blood slipping through a crack in the center of his pot.

"Oh my-" I yelped and dropped the book to my feet.

I stood there in shock for a minute then slowly picked him up. I grabbed his arms and put them around my back, dragging the cactus inside.

"Mmmph your heavy.." I grumbled and sat him down on a chair. "Uh, hold on let me get something to inspect that wound of yours."

I rushed to the kitchen room and opened a cabinet, revealing a first aid kit. I snatched it up and sprinted back to the living room.
I snapped open the box and sat down across from him.

I looked at his face for a second then shook my head focusing on the problem at hand. I had to take the pot off of him, which I had quite some trouble with but managed. A loosely stitched cut covered his lower half as blood dropped down the seam openings.

"Yeesh.." I mumbled as I grabbed some tools from the box.

I sutured the wound a couple times so it was tight, Then put his pot back on. When I finished with that, I wrapped bandages around it. As I finished this a small shock like noise came out of this small bracelet on his wrist.

I looked at the bracelet in curiosity. It then happened again! I grabbed one of the tools in the first aid kit and jammed it into the bracelet. When I did that he woke up. He looked at me with wide eyes filled with fear.

"Wha- What happened? What did you do to me?!" He jumped up to his feet.

"Hey hey! Calm down- your hurt severely.. just sit down for now, don't overwork yourself." I worried and put my hands out motioning him to sit back down.

(Oscar's POV)

I looked at her for a second then sat down. "Your that lily pad from yesterday.." I questioned.

"And your that guy who keeps trespassing on my land then suddenly disappearing! And ugh.. don't say it like that- just call me Lily.." She groaned.

"Oh, I'm sorry-" I gulped.

"Aye, you aren't gonna introduce yourself? Quite rude.." Lily grinned jokingly.

"Ah! The name's Oscar Cecil!" I smiled.
