Fatherly instincts

"Oh come on now your just showing off." Mia says as Drake easily grabs and apple off an tree next to the path they were walking. "I don't know what your talking about." Drake says jokingly and grabs two more apples handing one to both of his friends. "Grab a few more so we can have them just in case." Grayson tells Drake who grabs a few more apples and hands them to him. Grayson slips his book bag off and puts the fruit into it and the putting it back on. The three of them continue walking until Drake stops and faces the forest. "What?" Grayson asks. Drake could feel another life force a bit deeper into the forest, which seemed to be one of an child. "Wait do you hear crying?" Mia asks. Drake and Grayson listen closer and sure enough they do, they draw there weapons and start walking into the forest. They soon find young girl with her leg trapped under a tree that feel over, she quickly becomes scared seeing the strangers. "Put your swords away." Grayson commands. They all put there swords away and approaches the child. "Please help me."she begs them in between crying. Grayson's fatherly instincts kick in as he sits down next to her and puts his arms around her trying to comfort her. "We can't lift it off her leg it's way to heavy not even the three of us will be able to budge it." Mia explains. "Drake can you move it with your telekinesis?" Grayson asks the mage. "I can try but if it weighs over an ton it won't work" Drake answers. His magic wraps down his arm and the young girl watches in awe, masking Grayson smile remembering how easily children as young as her got amazed by simple things. "Ready?" Drake asks and gets a nod from Grayson who stands up. The tree lifts up a few inches and Grayson pulls the girl back and the tree then falls back to the ground. She begins to cry again as her leg now hurts five times more then before now she moved. "It's alright." Mia says comforting the girl. "What happen?" Drake asks grabbing a handful of things from his book bag. "Me and my new friend was playing, and he ran when the tree fell." She explains which didn't make much sense to Drake and Mia. "Someone must have been trying to kidnap her and the tree must have fallen and she got trapped so he ran away not wanting to get caught." Grayson interprets. "How did you get that from what she said" Mia asks in amazement. "I had a daughter." Grayson says back in an emotionless voice. Quietness fell over them as Grayson held her while Drake poured an mixture that he made a few minutes before on her leg and then wraps and then wraps it. "Well that will help until we get her home so they can fix it up better." Drake says putting his things back into his book bag. "What's your name?" Grayson asks. "Page." She answers. "That's a really pretty name you have there Page." Mia says back marking her smile. "Do you know the name of the town you live in?" Drake asks. "Stonehill!" She answers proud of herself that she remembered it. "That's a bit down the path, Well we should get going, it's getting late so once we get there we can see if we can stay there for the night." Grayson explains. He picks Page up and the group starts walking towards the town. Two miles later they reach the small town, and gate opens and a woman rushes out. "Mommy." Page says happily. "Oh my god, I so happy your safe. Thank you so much." She says taking Page from Grayson's arms. "Be careful we found her with her leg trapped under a tree that fell so it might be broken." Mia warns. "Here take this, I already put some on her leg before I wrapped it. It stops it from hurting much and I mixed some healing potion into it so it should help it heal." Drake explains handing the potion to Page's mother. "Thank you three so much, is there anything I can repay you?!" She asks. "Well if you could so us where we can stay for the night we would much appreciate it."Grayson says back. "Yes, yes the inn is this way I'll even pay for the night for the three of you," she then leads them to the inn and as promised she pays for them to stay the night.
