*Noctis*
Noctis woke up in a operating type room. His vision was all over the place, his head throbbed, and he felt like he could throw up at any moment. He heard a faint beeping, in a slow pattern to his right. He felt pain shoot through his body when he tried to turn his head making him gasp.
This is when he started to freak out, he felt his heart race as if he was way to vulnerable, he shot up, now sitting at the edge of the operating bed. Now he felt like he was going to just die, the pain shot from his stomach, to every inch of his body. He notices his shirt was removed and replaced with white bandages, with some hit of red from his wound. He removed the patches of wires and tubes from his body and summoned his sword.
He got up slowly using his sword as support. He tried making his first step but tripped making him fall onto his hands, pain moved through his body, but he continued toward the door.
*The Group*
After a day has passed, after their in-counter with the prince, everyone now laid in the tent, Ignis was up all night trying to come up with a plan to help get Noct back, Gladio sat off in the distance coming up with excuses just in case anyone wondered where the prince might be, and Prompo. He was in shock he was shaking, panicking, anxiety rows through his body. He has never shot Noct, of course for training, but to actually shoot his bestfriend, the thought brought him to the brink of tears.
      'What did they do to you? If I had just went with you or stopped you none of this would have happened right!?' Prompto thought shaking his leg.
      Everyone laid exhausted in the tent, Gladio, and, Ignis fell asleep after a few hours and Prompto looked at the roof of the tent. He slowly got out trying not to make any sound. After getting out of the tent he walked to the small stream that was about a few meters away. The sun was just rising so the sky was a orange, pink color with dark blue. He sat down at the edge of the stream staring into the water.
      He didn't want to hold it in anymore, every ounce of fear, sadness, and pain shot out of his eyes as if nothing around him mattered any more. His face was stained with tears, the words 'I shot him' kept spilling out of his mouth as if that's the only thing that mattered in the world. He tried wiping away his tear but more came, "I had no choice right!? If I didn't, I-I would have died from lack of oxygen!?" He now cover his whole face with him arms, knees close to his chest. 
       After about 5-8 minutes he finally calmed a bit down. He watched as the water went down stream. He saw his reflection his eyes were red and puffy and his nose was red as well. He also noticed a tall figure walk into play. Prompto's face turned red and he hurried his face back into his arms in embarrassment not wanting him to see it.
      Ignis sighed and sat next to him, "You know you shouldn't be embarrassed, feeling emotional is a way of showing your alive. I understand that he was a very close friend and that you too were friends sense high school, but you shouldn't be hung up on this we will get him back." He said very sincerely.
       Prompto let out a little chuckle, "of course we will."
      "And I know that shooting him was hard on you but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let him die so easily, and plus he much stronger than that being the sleeping beauty he is." Ignis said getting up.
      "We'll be waiting at the camp, we're heading to Altissia, we need to tell Lady Lunafraya that the wedding might need to be held back a bit." He said walking back to camp.
     'Oh yeah the wedding, I wonder what kind of person Lunafraya is?' Prompto thought to himself.
                                *Noctis*
      Grunts and pants could be heard as Noct slowly made his way down the hall. At the end of the hall the two slide doors opened revealing a much wider area. He walked in a few steps still using his sword for balance, he heard two voice yell, "somebody stop him!"
      He turned to see people running toward him. He turned to run, but the people caught up to him and pinned him on his stomach, sending more pain into his body, now he was struggling to get out of there grip, but was still in recovery so he was still weak to move. Another guy came with a syringe in his hand and bent down toward Noctis's arm. He felt a small pinch and that was when everything turned black again.
