[TW: blood.]
Haha, I'm not sorry :)

My face Burns.
It hurts.
What the fuck is happening?!

BAM!!

A gunshot?!
Something heavy is on me..
Is that the phantom?
My ears are ringing..
Did Logan..?
Holy fucking hell, my face! It hurts to move a single muscle!

"She's over here!"

That voice.
It's Logan.

"How did she manage to get taken out of all of us.."
Grumbly tired voice? That's Tyler..

"Ash? She's alright? Right?"

Aiden.

Breath, Ashlyn.
Slow breaths.
Ignore the pain.

Though as I tried to ignore the feeling of the gashes in my face, I tried to not panicked.
Which is incredibly difficult.
Woooow, surprising.
No matter how many times I told myself they were near, my heart quickened, scared that I was going to die.

I can feel warm liquid pouring down my face.
My own blood.
My own fucking blood pooling into a pile on the grass, and my hair.

"There! I see her—"

I heard Logan's voice fade out.
I could hear everyone's footsteps stop.
I heard gasps,
Low curses.

It's really bad, isn't it?

"Hey, hey.. Ashlyn.. you conscious? Fuck, guys help me get this phantom off of her!"

"She's not going to the conscious, Logan! Look at how much blood there is!"

"Taylor, shhh, help me get it off!"

"Aiden are you— Aiden? Aiden dude you good?"

What's happening?
I want to open my eyes.
I need to do something to catch their attention.

The heavy weight was lifted off of my body.

"Earth to Aiden.. are you okay?"

What's wrong with Aiden?

"That's her blood?"

"Yes, Aiden that's—"

"Her blood?!"

Open your damn eyes.
Ashlyn! Open them.

My brows twitch slightly.
Then I felt something cold on my face.
Rubbing alcohol?
No, it doesn't sting..
Water probably.
Slowly, I tried my best to open my eyes, but immediately I was shocked with the worse burning ever.

"SHE'S CONSCIOUS!" Logan looked over.

I could see him barely through my eyelashes.
I can feel the coldness of whatever was on my face.
Or maybe that's just my own blood, it is pretty cold out.

"Hey, hey.. Ashlyn, don't move, you're injured pretty badly, just.. just don't move." Taylor sat down next to me, placing her hands on either side of my head, holding my head still. "Logan, what do we.."

Taylor's voice faded from my ears as I tried to focus on my breathing.

Eventually I fell asleep.

"ASH!"
"ASHLYN!"

I can't move.
I can hear commotion.
Why can't I open my eyes?
Why can't I move?

"Trooper?! ASHLYN!"

Are we still in the phantom dimension?
No, I can feel the living ground under me.

"Damnit.. kids! What happened in there?!"

"She got taken, Mr. Banner.. by one of the phantoms we found her but—"

My body's shaking.
Am I in a seizure?
What is happening?
Is everyone okay?!
My face still burns.. but it's more mild..

"What if she doesn't wake up like that Tyler boy, Mike what are we—!!"

Without thinking, my body rolled over and I was grabbing the blanket to my right as I coughed hard.
I opened my eyes a bit and realized everyone was surrounding me.

"Ashlyn! Sweetie, are you okay?" My mom placed a hand on my back, and another on my chest above my lungs.

"Fi—ne.. I'm fine.." I coughed, my voice was extremely hoarse. Almost like I lost it.

"Breathe.. hey, how are we sure she isn't going to have a heart attack?!" My dad was in front of me, his hand on my shoulder, and looking at the group behind me.

"We don't— we've never.. no one has been attacked that badly by a phantom yet.. I-I've be attacked but not like how she was." Logan stuttered. Just from his tone I could tell he was absolutely terrified of my dad in this moment.

"Mike, she's breathing that's all that matters right now." My mother whispered, still holding me as I continued to let out coughs here and there.

"Aiden.." I asked, looking at my mom. "Where's Aiden?"

I turned my body, sitting up on my own when I noticed Aiden.
He was holding Lily, standing behind Ben, looking petrified.

He's never been scared before..
He's never looked like THAT before.

"Aiden?" I asked once again. His eyelids softened a little, and he stepped next to Ben.

I was trying to figure out why he was making that expression, but suddenly I felt arms around me.

Aiden.

"...You.. You were so bloody.." He choked out quietly.

Bloody?
I knew I was bleeding a lot but.. that much?

"Everything.. Ash.. your hair.. face.."

My stomach twisted and I hugged him back, tighter, resting my face into his shoulder.

"Hey.. Hey, I'm okay." I mumbled back, feeling his arms tighten.
I knew he was trying hard not to cry.

"Aiden, I'm okay."
