Rotten Sister

The accident

As the two lay on the meadow embracing one another, Sportacus saw a huge opening on her arm, she was bleeding terribly. "Oh no, you probably got that while tumbling down" Alyssa blushed at the fact that she cried like a small child his arms and now had a boo boo he had to take care of. "I-it's fine!, I'll just go back to the lair and look for a first-aid kit" her voice was hoarse and she winced when she stood up.

Without words Sportacus carried her in his arms, and looked up to see his airship wasn't far off. "Ladder!" He cried out, he grabbed Alyssa with one arm and the ladder went up.

He quickly sat her on his bed, and pulled up her sleeve. The cut was deep, she was losing a lot of blood. Sportacus quickly got a first-aid kit, and with a worried look on his face he said, "this might hurt a bit". As he finished cleansing the wound opening, he got a needle and thread, and started to close the opening. She winced in pain, "just a little bit more, please be patient" he spoke to her as he spoke to one of the children.

"There as good as new!" He smiled brilliantly. "I can't thank you enough Sportacus, but I must get back to the lair, my brother is probably worried", she said with sincere look on her face. It was getting dark and she really didn't know her way around yet. As she headed towards the opened door of the airship, Sportacus quickly stopped her, and whispered in her ear, "please stay" he had pulled her into his chest.

"It's late, and it's too dangerous". Alyssa shocked, grew flustered. "But I'm fine Sportacus!" He then pleaded with his eyes, she melted his blue compassionate eyes had won her over. "Fine, I'll stay" he then smiled and said, "you need rest, you can take my bed" Alyssa protested she just simply couldn't take his bed, "but where will you sleep?" Sportacus pointed to a sleeping bag on the floor. Alyssa felt so exhausted, she didn't want to argue anymore. But she also noticed how dirty she was, "Sportacus, I think need a bath" she said embarrassed. He just smiled, "go for it, I'll get you some new clothes to change into"

After taking a bath, Alyssa grabbed a towel and wrapped herself in it. She the opened a crack on the door to feel the clothes sitting on the desk near the door. "Wow!, such big clothes!" As she changed into them she realized that these blue pajamas were of the hero himself. She then wrapped her hair in a towel and left the bathroom. A voice from behind startled her, "I didn't know it would be that big on you!" Sportacus laughed, looking at his pajamas sag on her small body frame.

"Well, It would be quite strange if they were a perfect fit" she shot back. As she said this the hero, disappeared into the bathroom, "I guess he also thought he needed a shower too" she said to herself as she nodded off into a deep sleep.

"Alyssa I need you to be be brave, okay?" the bloody hand slipped from her cheek leaving a print. "But fjöldi níu, you're dying!" He stopped breathing, "fjöldi níu!!" she screamed.

* fjöldi níu : Is Icelandic for Number Nine.
