9 [Scars And Wounds]

      Alisa woke up with a bad headache but when she was about to get up, she hissed in pain and remembered that the tiger punctured her leg. She looked over and saw her leg bruised with four long gashes, but they were cleaned and had stitches in them. She smiled knowing that Setg'in'ka did that but she didn't know how he stitched the wounds up.

       She looked around not seeing Setg'in'ka anywhere, but she stopped when she saw him sitting on a rock nearby. She smiled and she slowly lifted herself up, a few times her teeth grinned due to the leftover pain. She slowly but quietly, put her feet onto the ground and she slowly got up, slightly cursing herself in her mind when she felt pain shoot through her leg. Alisa slowly limped over to him seeing that he still didn't know that she was awake.

       Alisa sat down beside him on the rock and he looked over at her. She smiled at him and he shook his head and pointed at her leg. "It's ok, the pain is slowly going away." She tried to reassure him but he didn't buy it and picked her up. "Hey! You don't have to carry me everywhere!" Setg'in'ka clicked and shook his head and laid her back on the rock she realised she was asleep on and that it was covered in moss and leaves to made it a bit more better to sleep on.

         "But I don't need to sleep any longer." Alisa exclaimed and Setg'in'ka shook his head and when she was about to get up again, he laid his head on her chest and gently pushed her back down. She sighed and stayed down knowing she couldn't fight with him. "Fine, but if I sleep today, can I stay up tomorrow?" He looked at her pondering her question and a few seconds later he nodded. Alisa sighed and when she got comfortable, she realized how tired she actually was and she felt herself begining to close her eyes.

      As she slept through the night, Setg'in'ka stayed awake, making sure she was safe and sleeping soundly. Over the last few days, he became to like her more and he now enjoyed her company to where he would just stay by her side without thinking about it. He now sat on a rock only a few feet away from Alisa's sleeping form. He sharpen his spear that he took out of the tiger, which he left for nature to take care of.

         But he stopped sharping and pushed a few buttons on his wrist and his med-kit slid open. Setg'in'ka always had a med-kit with him, just in case if he was wounded from a hunt, but he used it for Alisa, but now he also needed it. He lifted up the fishnet that covered his chest and took out a tube of medicine his planet had. On his chest was three claw marks, they weren't deep unlike Alisa's, but they hurt like hell and they bled for a good solid minute. He rubbed the medicine over the marks and he slightly growled, looking up a bit to make sure he didn't wake Alisa up.

        When he still saw her sleeping soundly, he put the med-kit away including with the medicine. He looked back back to Alisa and he silently walked over to her. Setg'in'ka looked at her leg seeing that the bruising was slowly fading away and that the stitches were making the wounds heal quickly, but he knew that it would leave a scar on her leg forever, including the marks on his chest.

          It didn't bother him that he would get a scar, since he always got one from hunting, but he didn't like that Alisa would get one. He sighed to himself, and gently stroked her hair. Setg'in'ka like the feeling of his fingers going through her hair but he slowly pulled away knowing that she didn't need to be awaken by him.

       Setg'in'ka sat beside the rock Alisa was sleeping on, leaning his back on the rock. He looked over at Alisa and he sighed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

        It's been three days since the attack and the wounds on Alisa's leg is almost fully healed. Now the only thing left is long scars that reach from her knee to her foot. Alisa now walked around since her leg wasn't hurting anymore. Setg'in'ka watched her walk around and he looked at the long scars and he slightly looked down knowing that if he was there sooner she wouldn't have those. That's why he didn't show her the scars he got when the tiger pounced at him.

         "Mam I would have never thought it felt good to walk again!" Alisa exclaimed and Setg'in'ka looked up at her and he nodded. "Hey," he looked at her as she stopped beside him. "I never thanked you for protecting me." He shook his head and she sighed. "Yes it was and what can I do to repay you?" She asked knowing that he meant that it was nothing. Setg'in'ka shook his head and slightly growled not wanting her to repay him.

        "Fine." Alisa said and when Setg'in'ka thought she was done talking, she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him. He stopped not knowing what to do but he slowly put his arms around her and hugged her back. Alisa pulled away and smiled up at him and he looked down at him, but she knew he was smiling under his mask.
