I had woke up early to go for a run before classes this morning. I had a horrible feeling about today and I really wasn't sure why.

'You need to get back before the wing leader has you ass.'

I chuckle at Rebel in my head.

'I'd like to see him try Rebel.'

I had a sudden wave of dizziness come over me and I bent over putting my hands on my knees.

'I don't like that you feel weak little one.'

I shook my head a few times until my vision felt almost normal.

'I'm fine, probably just need some water when I get back.'

I stood up and began the run down this hill I was on. The dizziness continued and I felt a gust of wind beside me. It knocks me off balance and I trip. I fall and feel a sharp pain right above my brow. My vision becomes hazy but I look to see Rebel beside me.

'Get up little one.'

It was not a request it was an order. I lifted my hand to my head and saw the crimson liquid around my fingertips.

"Shit."

'Get on! Now! Something is not right inside of you.'

I slowly get up and make it to Rebel's leg. I begin to climb but I feel weak.

'Rebel, I don't know if I can get up there.'

I see his long neck turn and he grips me carefully with his nose and pushes me up. I crawl up to the pommel and hold on. Rebel takes off and I keep fading in and out of consciousness. I am running through everything in my head. I hadn't ate, but I did grab a drink before my run. Who gave me the glass? Fuck. It was Seifert. He had to have slipped something in that water.

I saw the flight field and I saw two figures standing there, but my head was throbbing at this point. Rebel try's to land gently, but there is nothing gentle about the large blue Daggertail. As I feel his wings settle I begin to slip down his leg. Towards the end though I feel arms grip my waist.

I turn and see Bodhi holding me upright. Rebel's low grumble jerks my attention to him.

"Highbrooke, what the fuck happened?"

I hear Xaden's voice coming from behind Bodhi. I lean my head on Rebel's leg for a moment as I try to steady myself. The dragons head slowly turns to the two men.

'Tell them to get you to the Heelers before I burn them into the ground.'

I huff and keep my eyes closed.

"Rebel said... to get me to the heelers before he burns you into the ground."

I pat his leg gently and stand up. Quickly I lose the battle and fall into what I'm guessing is Bodhi's grip.

2 hours later:

I had almost missed all of my morning classes by this point. Bodhi had stayed with me against Xaden's protesting that I'd be fine. They were pushing me to drink water to help flush whatever the fuck was in my system out.

"Isn't there something we could do that is faster?"

Bodhi asked the heeler that was observing me from beside the cot.

"We have already given her a tonic, she must continue to drink water. Plus the stitches in her head will heal. Her brain needs rest."

I snorted and looked up to her after downing the glass of water.

"Thank you, but I gotta get to battle brief. Plus I have to watch the sparring challenges."

I said as I stood up trying to brush off the soreness. I was feeling a lot better and wanted to prove to Barlowe and Seifert that their plan didn't work.
