The Battle in Phoenix Drop

Scaleswind CAN'T be here, too! I think as I stand in the doorway. I then dash behind houses to the plaza, where guards lay. I lift a hood over my face and make sure I have a medic sign on my dress. I do. You're not allowed to kill or aim for medics. You would be killed for that. I know I'll be safe as I run up to Dante. I drag him gently back behind a house. He is unconscious. I head back for Laurence. He is still awake, staring at the battle. Laurence sits up a bit as I pull him back with Dante. I have to dart around armies to find Garroth.

He's struggling to move as the battle begins heading towards him. I race over and grab him, dragging him away from the fight. He doesn't move as I pull him back behind the house. Dante had woken up and was sitting with Laurence. Laurence was trying to clean a wound on Dante's leg with his good hand as Dante tried to wiggle out from under Laurence's leg trap.

I look at Garroth and find he is unconscious. It probably happened as I was dragging him. I laugh silently as Dante fake-threatens Laurence that if he doesn't stop, he'll 'rip your favorite... uh... Blanket?' Laurence smirked and continued helping Dante. Laurence's hand just had a small cut, and he seemed to be bruised badly on his side where he had lifted up his shirt. Dante had a bad gash in his leg and Garroth... She wasn't sure.

Blood. On Garroth's shirt. She looked at Laurence with a look that said, "Pass-me-the-bandages-so-I-can-do-this-before-he-wakes-up-since-this-will-be-painful." Laurence hands me the bandages and goes back to trying to get Dante to stop freaking out, (he had seen the wound on his leg) and I truned to Garroth. The blood was SLOWLY spreading, meaning it was still bleeding a bit.

She pulled his shirt up to his throat to see what was going on. Where the tear in the shirt was, the was a long cut on his chest. Sarah took out an antibacterial liquid and poured a bit on a cloth. She ran it along the edge of the cut. Garroth moved a bit and she stopped. He didn't move again. She finished with the cloth and set it aside. Then she unwrapped a bit of the bandage and asked Laurence to prop him up. She took a quick peek at the battle. No one else was injured.

Sarah wrapped the bandage around Garroth as Laurence kept him up. After he laid him down, Garroth began to wake up. He moaned at first and then he began to move. She prepared to give him a shot of painkiller when he woke up. Sarha waited as his eyes began to open. Garroth looked around for a moment and then gave out a pathetic, small whimper. Sarah almost broke down on the spot, but she forced her arm to move, trying to inject the painkiller. He drew back before the needle touched his skin, and the needle pushed into air.

Garroth continued to squirm away as Sarah tried to help him, so she stopped for a bit. She scooted him back over to the spot he had started out in and propped him up. "I can't help you if you keep moving away," she said as she secretly prepared another dose. Sarah went to an angle where he couldn't see her very well, and pulled out the needle. She quickly pushed the tip into his arm and the liquid drained out. He whimpered a little more, as if trying not to cry.

Sarah made sure Laurence was okay, treated him with a bit of painkiller, and scooted over to Dante. He was covering his eyes so he didn't accidentally look at his leg. She quickly wrapped it up and told him he could look. He put his hands down reluctantly, but then gave a shaky sigh of relief. Then he tossed himself face first into the ground and began to sob. She looked at Laurence. "I'll handle it," he said, tugging Dante. She crawled back to where Garroth was sitting, and made sure he was still okay. His eyes are wet, and he's looking at the dirt as if he was fascinated by it.

SARAH's POV...
"Garroth, are you okay?" I ask. He nods. "Can you say something?" He shakes his head. "Seriously?" I say. He nods. "Ugh. Fine, I'll just go over there." I get up and walk back over to Laurence and Dante. They're having a fake fight. "Do boys do this all the time?" They stop and smile in embarrassment. "Because if so, call me the next time you do." I smile. They keep going, and slowly, I creep up and, careful to avoid their wounds, and jump into the pile. The howling and laughter continues for a minute until Dante pulls himself from the pile and says, "Garroth, aren't you coming?" He wasn't aware that Garroth couldn't.

I shake my head at Dante and head over to Garroth. "Are you SURE you're okay?" He nods. I peek over his shoulder to see what's going on with the battle. I feel a tug from behind as Laurence pulls me over to Dante, and they attack me. We laugh silently and mess around for a moment until I realize... "I've never had so much fun in my LIFE! Literally. Wait a minute! Why are we PLAYING WHEN THERE IS A BATTLE GOING ON?!" I yell/whisper. Dante and Laurence let go of each other and stop. "And I believe Garroth needs to be helped," I say.

I fix my hair my hair and sigh, trying not to be embarrassed and walk back over to Garroth. He was silently laughing at what we were doing. "Ugh..." I feign embarrassment. He stops laughing and just smiles. "Can you talk NOW?" I say. "I never couldn't," he says, smirking. I fake punch him. Geez, I've done fake fighting and fake punching. I peek out and see that Phoenix Drop is winning. I see a guard out of the corner of my eye, creeping up with his sword. I take out my bow, load an arrow, and without looking, shoot. I hear a thud. "Whoops!" I say, smiling.

Phoenix Drop's flag went up in the air. "Yes!" I say. Dante and Laurence hobble out to the plaza and I help Garroth up. "So, you disobeyed me." I stop smiling. "I-I... I saw Dante get hit, a-and then Laurence, and then you! I couldn't stay!" I protest. He smiles. "I never said you were in trouble," he says. "Phew," I reply. "I just want to thank you. Geez, Laurence and Dante must think you're a boy now. Wrestling with them..." Garroth says. "Yeah."
The battle was over, and I didn't have to confront my father's army! Great!

I'm going to stop it here, because I made that long. Tell me what you think. I didn't like that part that much, but I still liked writing it. Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed reading it a little more than I enjoyed writing it :)
