Time Will Tell (Aonung x y/n)

This Is War

Aonungs pov

Roxto and I return to my parents who are ready to fight. The whole clan stops and waits for something. Then out of the water bursted Payakan. The outcast. He lands straight on the ship and we all charge towards it. All at the same time we dive underwater to avoid the guns.

I reach the ship and find Neteyam climbing aboard as well. Roxto stays behind me as we find the girls cuffed- y/n is unconscious.

I quickly run to her and Neteyam cuts the handcuffs. Shes covered with bruises around her stomach and face. Her lip is even bleeding. "TAKE HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE NOW!" Neteyam yells.

Roxto takes Kiri and Neteyam takes Tuk and we all dive back in. I head back to the village as fast as I can trying not to drop y/n. I hear her trying to say something and I comfort her. "Aonung.. I need to go ba-" I stop her from speaking. "Shh, dont waste your energy." She coughs up some blood on the way back.

When we arrive I scream for the women to come and take her. They run out and help me carry y/n into the hut. They immediately start treating her.

I go outside and wait for them.

After what felt like days they allow me to go in. Y/n is lying down with bandages around her stomach and head. I kneel beside her body and she opens her eyes. "Thank you Aonung" She struggles to say. I nod and smile, thankful shes still breathing.

I sit there and tend to her making sure she feels okay. She winces in pain and I give her, her medicine. She falls asleep and I go outside. I thank the women for treating her and then ask about my father and mother. They don't know anything yet.

I head inside again and sit next to y/n. Her breathing starts to get louder and louder and she gets up in pain. "Hey hey, lay back down." She reluctantly lies down looking frustrated. "skxawng" I hear her mutter. I roll my eyes and she starts falling asleep.

Y/n pov

I wake up in pain. Aonung places his hand on my head causing more pain. I hiss at him and he backs away. "That hurts." I tell him so he doesnt do it again.

I get up and look around. "Why arent they back yet? Its eclipse." I try to stand and Aonung sits me back down. "What are you trying to do? Kill yourself?" He scoffs. I ignore him and give him the look. "They're still out there." He doesnt say anything after.

I start panicing. What if something happened to them? "What about Kiri and Tuk?" I ask. "They're okay, we freed them from the ship." Aonung answers reassuring me. Okay thats good news.

We sit there waiting for something, anything. Its silent for a long time and I begin to worry more and more. Aonung looks a bit worried as well. I keep trying to get up but he sits me back down every time. I don't the energy to try anymore so I stay down.

Then we hear it. The blow of a horn. I rush out and everyone is returning.

'Thank you great mother'
