Nature

apologie unaccepted...maybe.

He raised his eyebrow, skeptical. What I said was true...most of it. I tried standing but my leg wouldn't move from the ground, when it did the bullet dug deeper into my leg. I screamed and fell back. Tears pricked my eyes. My ears sat back and my tail beat the ground in pain. His eyes widened and he dropped his gun from its point at my face. "Don't move." He said as he started sprinting away through the woods. " And you think I can!?! AGH!" I yelled as I attempted to sit up again.

About an hour passed and I was still alone. If I die here, I'm going to be so pissed. Damn you strange creature. I thought. Another 15 minutes passed and things started to get dark. I didn't know if I was dying or it was getting to be night. I heard footsteps running towards me. " well its about time you've got back." I said a tear escaping my eye. He bent down and reached for my legs. I flinched away not wanting to get hurt again.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm going to help you." He reassured me. I didn't buy it but I wanted this bullet out of my leg. I let him take my legs and pick me up. He carried me, my hurt leg facing outwards. He walked through the woods, turning around a corner tree and through a series of similar looking trees. I put my arms around him and hugged him tightly. "I don't know who you are or what you are going to do to me but thank you. For saving me." I said as I buried my face in his chest.

" Hey, don't worry about it. I'm not going to do anything other than help you...but I didn't really help you when I kinda shot your leg sooo...yea sorry bout that. I got freaked out and I just lost it." He said. Maybe he really was going to help me. Well I guess all I could so at that point was hope.

We got to a small clearing and he set me down. "Where are we?" I asked. "My home get destroyed a few years back, so I live here now. I think it's nice. Just to look at the stars every night." He said looking up at the sky and standing. I tugged on his shirt, my leg beginning to bleed again, drip by drip hitting the ground. "H-hey I don't mean to be rude but, I'm k-kinda bleeding on you h-here." He set me on the ground and reached in his back pocket. "This is going to sting a little." He said uncapping a syringe full of a blue ish liquid. "Woah woah woah. What's that?" I said moving back a bit. "It's a numbing solution, for when I fix your leg. I swear it won't hurt for long. If it does you can squeeze my hand. Ok?" I nodded and laid back down.

He held my leg in place with one hand and the other hand inches away from my leg. He glanced at me then focused back on my leg. "One..two...three." And the needle went into my leg. I squeezed my eyes shut to stop the tears from flowing out. I bared my teeth and bit down on my tongue to level out the pain. I grabbed his arm that was holding my leg and held on until the pain was gone.
He drew the needle from my leg and stood up. I opened my eyes. "That didn't hurt that bad." I lied.

"Really? Then why and I bleeding?" He pointed to his arm and sure enough,claw marks. "My bad." I said. "It's ok." He took off his belt and sat back down. "What-" He interrupted, "to stop the blood flow. " He said as he lifted my leg and slid the belt under it, tightening it. "How long will this take?" I asked. "I don't actually know. I've never done this before. On something live. " He said calmly. "So your telling me that you've never done this before!?!?" I said.

"Yup." He said digging around in his pocket and taking a pair of tweezers and setting them down. He took his hat and slid it off just enough so I could see part of the top of his head. I gasped. "No... way..." I said as I sat up and pushed his hat off. 2 ears flung from his hat. Not human ears, ears like mine. Cat like ears with little tufts of fur on the tips of them. "We will talk later. I use special bullets that dig deeper into the skin the more the animal moves."My eyes widened and I laid back down again. " This part could hurt if you move. Don't move." I nodded and looked up at the sky.

He put his hand on my hip to tell me that he was going to begin digging in my leg. "I think I'm ready." I said already gripping the grass under me.
He sighed and began prodding around in my leg trying to find the bullet. I winced and almost screamed again. Yes it hurt but it was getting, little by little, better. When he hit the bullet, it dug a little deeper into my leg. My head jolted up from the ground. "It's ok. I know how to stop it." He said sweetly. He grabbed the bullet and began twisting. I screamed and the tears began flowing.

"I know it hurts but it's the only way to get that out. Try and relax." He said trying to calm me down. It didn't work. The pain was unbelievable and I felt like he was cutting through the bone in my leg. He finally got it out after all the twisting and pulling. He tossed it behind him and picked the front half of me up. "I'm sorry. Are you ok?" He asked as he rocked me back and forth.

"Y-yea I think s-so." I said burying my face in his chest. I suddenly got a burst of confidence and sat up. I took his face in my hands and...
