HEARTLESS

No POV

"Does anyone know where we are even going?" Felix asked, his body was sweating due to the heavy armor. The sun came out and the rain vanished, leaving the air thick and humid. The boys could barley take the high heat now radiating off the earth.
"No, just far away." Chan didn't stop to turn around, he just kept moving. His broad back was covered in the dark black armor, but Felix felt as if he could see through it. Like he could still see what remained of his old friend. The kid he used to know. Now the feeling of seeing the now grown male was foreign.

"Come on Lix, you're being left behind." Seungmin turned back to wave a hand. Felix could only look up blankly and stare at the boy as if he couldn't hear him, only watching his mouth move while speaking a language that was inaudible.

Felix kept walking, just staring at the ground, he felt as if he's seen the same rocks for hours. The blazing sun still in the same spot the last time he looked up.

How long as it been?
Am I simply going crazy?
Does Chan think of me?
I need water...so badly.

Not much more went through Felixs head before he hit the ground, the others turning to see Felix laying there stiff.
"What the hell just happened?" Changbin stared at the boy who was his enemy just a few hours before.
"He looks pale, can someone hand me some water?" Jeongin leaned over Felix before leaning down to feel his forehead.
"Nobody has any." Everyone stood clueless, not sure of what to do.

"Let me carry him, let's hike further into the woods to settle down, maybe find a puddle created from the rain earlier." Chan calmly walked over, picking up the sick boy with ease and carrying him on his back.

Chan POV

"It looks like he has a concussion, we didn't hike for that long but it seemed to slow him down a lot. Did any of you see it happen?" Chan looked up at the boys who originally fought with Felix.

"No, sorry but we were a little busy fighting for our lives." Jeongin spoke for himself and Seungmin.
"I'm sure he'll be okay, he's pretty clumsy."
The statement took Chan aback.

"Let me go get the fist aid." Chan ran off to find the medical supplies after Felix tripped over a root in the yard.
"Ow...don't push down too hard." Felix hissed at the pain as Chan placed a band aid on his scrapped knee.
"You're always getting hurt Lix, what are you going to do without me one day." Chan sighed, Felix was his best friend, he had to take care of him.
"Don't worry Chan, there won't be a time when I'm without you." Felix smiled while wipping away his tears.

"Yeah...he is pretty clumsy." Chan stood up from his kneeled position next to where they laid Felix. Chan had taken off Felixs armor, laying it next to the make shift tent out of supplies from the horses they had. Now the boy only wore pants and a long sleeve, showing off his slender body.

"He should be fine by tomorrow, we can't let this push us back. We need to get out further, a lot further."  Chan said with a serious tone.
