It was dark outside. I could hear rain pounding outside of the cave I was in. I could hear crackling of fire deeper inside the cave. The wind blew, and a piece of paper blew in my face. I pulled it off and looked at it.
Xavier,
I need you in the deep end of the battle. Hurry and get back before the weather gets too bad. Don't forget the supplies in the cave. I mean it! If you need I can send Sam to get you. Don't forget to use your com.
~Queen Liliah
For some reason the note horrified me. I threw it on the ground and ran deeper into the cave. Then I heard a noise. I quickly hid behind a stalagmite. I looked over to see Xavier crouched on the ground, with his face scrunched up in pain. I slowly crawled over to Xavier. I thought about killing him, but then I decided he might be of use. I slithered in front of him.
"Can I help you?" He said very calmly.
"I was going to kill you." I replied.
"Then why didn't you?" He asked.
"I thought I could use you."
"For what?"
"I don't know."
"Ok. So could you- AHHHHH!!!" Xavier screamed in agony.
I quickly looked down at his thick chainmail armor. One of his four hands was holding his side. A small puddle of dark red blood was pooling under him. Blood was dripping down his arm. I carefully grabbed his hand and pulled it away from his side. There was a deep gash about three inches in. The skin was purple directly around the gash. Thorns were sticking out of the wound, oozing syrupy purple liquid. I suddenly realized that Naomi had hit him with her magic infused sword. I pulled out my whip and grew a sac of antidote. Then, I pulled a needle out of my whip and made a small hole in the sac. I dipped my finger in the antidote and spread it on his gash.
Then, I woke up.
