"Why is it still bleeding?!"
I shout obviously panicking because the sight of blood has always freaked me out.My heart is beating super fast and it feels like I'm being punched in the chest by a guy with a big hammer
That is obviously crazy
My eyes start to shut down indicating that I might possibly blackout but I resist the urge to close them because this is not the best time to do that and I'm still not clear about what is going on.
At least I have my brother is with me to explain why my lower leg is losing so much blood even after several failed attempts to stop it"I don't know...maybe, this is ..." Cyx says
Cyx is my twin brother who always claims to be the older twin even though we both don't know who was born first. Our mother won't tell us a thing.o
I'm pretty sure I'm the eldest
Not that it matters"What's happening Cyx, I'm scared...tell me what's going on"
The pain at that moment decides to make itself known since I've been trying so terribly hard to ignore its presence.
"Why are you even here , Thimna"Cyx says with shaky whisper
He stands up from where he was bending to inspect my now grotesque wound and starts to walk around in circles which he does when he is deep thought. Like me of course.
Twins
"Is that all you could possibly say to me!?"
I shout at him and that drains my energy by at least 20 percent."What are you doing here...you're not meant to be here, this is my realm daduwethu
(*Daduwethu-sister*)
"Just help me , I don't want to bleed to death"
The pain is so bad that it takes a lot out of me not to cry and yet I'm speaking to this idiot who isn't even helping me but instead is speaking about realms like it's a f video game.
"You won't die, Thi" He says and immediately darts his eyes to my leg making me think his statement was false and that I would most definitely die.
He starts removing his now soiled ripped t-shirt that he wrapped around my leg and uses my tank top with my permission or course to do the same
I must say ,it looks much better now
"Thank you...now can you tell me what's going on"
He better answer this time because I'm not going to ask again."You are not meant to be in my realm...if they find you , they'll ...kill you" He says and starts fidgeting with something in his pocket
This is obviously a prank or joke gone wrong but judging by his seriousness , I might need to reconsider.
I look up and notice the jet-black cloudless sky with 2 pale blue moons and weird tall looking tree like plant that makes the sky unoticable because of their wild tossed branches of leaves that make my nose want to smell more of its graceful scent
"What do you mean, Cyx you are scaring me "
"We have to get you back to earth " He says and lifts me off the leafy ground which I've been on the entire time while he was doing circles and inspecting my still painful but less bloody leg.
"Stop playing"
That was all I could say
Everything is happening too fast
Where am I
Why was my leg shot with an arrow
All of su
