Angelica finally made it to Pyro's house, after what seemed like an hour of walking.

She glanced down at Blaise, who was fast asleep, before walking up the front path to the door. She knocked somewhat loudly, in a rush to get Blaise healed.

After a minute or two, Pyro opened the door. She was short, compared to Blaise and Angelica at least, and she had long ginger colored hair with bright green eyes.

"Angelica?" Pyro asked, looking confused before looking down at the griffin in her arms. Her confused expression
immediately disappeared. "Blaise?! What happened to him?!"

"It's kind of a long story, but he needs to be healed right now," Angelica said, looking just as worried as Pyro.

"Yeah, come on," she said, stepping out of the doorway and urging her to come in. Angelica did just that, stepping into the house and following Pyro out into her living room.

Pyro spread a sheet on the floor, sitting down. "Can he turn into himself?" She asked, looking up at Angelica.

"I'll ask him," she said, sitting on the floor next to Pyro, looking down at Blaise. She lightly touched his face with one hand, holding him up with the other. "Blaise? Wake up, baby," she said softly.

His glazed eyes fluttered open, gazing up at her.

"Can you turn back into yourself?" She asked, softly petting the top of his head.

He nodded slightly, still looking lightheaded. He closed his eyes, and turned into himself after a minute of trying.

Angelica carefully laid him on the sheet, being sure not to get any of his blood on Pyro's floor. She looked at him, noticing that he looked incredibly weak.

Pyro looked horrified, looking at him up and down. She looked back at him, gently placing her hand on his face. Her hand started glowing purple as she started healing him.

"Don't worry, Blaise, it'll be okay," she said softly, "Sissy's here..."

He closed his eyes, looking comforted by her healing. Angelica looked at him, noticing the scratches and cuts on his face were beginning to disappear.

After she finished healing his face, Pyro moved on to his shoulder, gently placing her glowing hand on the stab wound and massaging it lightly.

Angelica looked up at Blaise, who looked like he'd fallen asleep again.

Pyro moved from his shoulder to his hip, and after that was done, she looked up at Angelica. "Any other big ones?"

"Yeah," Angelica said, moving next to his leg and rolling up his pant leg, revealing the giant stab wound at his calf. She looked up at Pyro, who was taken aback.

"That looks awful..." she said, moving closer and gently putting her glowing hand over the wound. "What on earth happened?"

"He got caught coming to see me..." Angelica explained, looking down. "and they took him to the dungeon. It took us all day to escape..."

"Oh wow..." Pyro said, looking down at him, "but how did he get caught? I thought he could hide?"

"Well..." Angelica said, looking down again, "He usually can... but his prescription ran out..." she said, knowing Pyro would know what she was talking about.

Pyro looked shocked and angry at the same time. "What?! Why didn't he tell me?!" She shouted, looking down at him angrily. "I told him I'd help him with it if he needed it!"

"Shh, don't yell," Angelica said, even though she knew Blaise wouldn't be waking up for a while because he was just healed.

"I told him I'd help him..." Pyro repeated, looking kind of sad. "This didn't have to happen! He's so stupid!"
