Forest Hunt Down (TPOT DARKFIC) (OLD+UNFINISHED)

We Need to Leave

Warning: Mention of blade like objects, blood, cursing, and fighting

Book's POV: 

I'm running to camp on a dark night. Blood dripping down my face, panting

I run to Nickel, where he lays asleep in the tent

" NICKEL. NICKEL! WAKE UP! WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW! " I hissed to Nickel, trying to wake him up

" What is it, Book..? " Nickel slowly opens his eyes, clearly tired 

As soon as Nickel looked at me, his eyes widened with shock

" Book... Y-Your face! " Nickel shuddered

" That's not important! We need to leave! " I exclaimed

Nickel stands up

We start walking deep into the forest in one direction, hoping it's the right way

" So- Uhm- What are you going to do about your face? " Nickel questioned

" I'll... Uhm. I'll- ACK- " I started coughing

I clear my throat " Ahem. I'll bandage it with leaves, I suppose. " I answered 

" Let's do it right now before you die from blood loss... " Nickel said nervously

" Okay. " I sigh

Nickel starts grabbing some leaves and vines to bandage me with

" Here! That's should be good enough. " Nickel puts the leaves and vines down in front of me

I begin placing leaves on my head and tying it with the vine. It's poorly done, but good enough. As Nickel said.

" Feeling any better? " Nickel asked me in a slightly sarcastic tone

" It only stings a little bit. " I reply with a wince

" At least it isn't any worse. " Nickel said

" Let's keep going, I'll also tell you what happened along the way. " I tell Nickel

As Nickel and I continue walking and chatting, we run into Teardrop

" Teardrop!? what are you doing here? " I exclaimed

' What you two are trying to do ' Teardrop motioned to us

" What did she say? " Nickel asked me

" 'What we're trying to do.' Which is to get out of this forest. " I told Nickel 

Teardrop nods

" Well, Teardrop, do you want to come along with us? " Nickel asks Teardrop

' Sure, but don't expect to always see me around ' Teardrop motioned to Nickel

" Uh... What did she say? " Nickel asks me

I groan " Ugh... Do I have to teach you sign language? " I said, annoyed

" Just tell me what she said! " Nickel blurted

" She said, 'Sure, but we shouldn't expect to see her around often...' " I muttered

Needle's POV:

As I wake up and stretch, I notice that Nickel is missing and there's some blood next to where he was sleeping. Book isn't here either... I swiftly stand up
