The Last Forester

The Crash Part 6

(Hugh)

"Brace for impact.  We're going down."  

Worst words ever invented, and they kept echoing through my head as we dropped lower and lower.  Soon we could see the tree tops as we pitched forward and I began to regret getting on this helicopter.  I put my head between my legs while Milo and Tallica did the same.  

"Too fast, we are coming down too fast," Benny struggled to keep the helicopter from going into a flat spin.  "Here we go."  I heard a yell, a girl's scream, and the helicopter went into a flat spin.  I heard trees breaking and the helicopter hit.  I fell unconscious, my head hit by something metal. 

(Tallica)   

I regained conscious shortly after the crash, but soon went back into a black abyss, hoping everyone was alright.  

(Hugh) 

I groaned and the static that filled my ears was extremely painful.  The seat belt that held me in place cut into my shoulder as I raised my head.  I touched my temple and it felt slick with blood.  I looked over to my left and saw Milo rousing himself.  I looked at the pilot's seat and noticed Benny doing the same.  "Milo, can you walk?"

"Yea, I can," he mumbled, unhooking his seat belt.

"Help Benny out of here, I'll grab Tallica," I rasped, freeing myself of the belt and moving to Tallica's side.  Her head was bleeding profusely and her thigh was swelling as she sat.  I unbuckled her and lifted her into my arms, stumbling away from the wreck.  I lay her down a ways away next to Benny.  Her phone began to ring and I pulled it from her pocket.  It showed the name Arabella  so I threw it at Milo, who answered it, as I pulled off my hoody and pressed it to her head wound. 

"Hi, Arabella," Milo put it on speaker, but placed his fingers over his mouth.  I nodded my head in understanding.

"Milo Davis," her voice was haunty.  "What are you doing with Tallica's phone?"  

"We have a problem.  We were hit and we were hit bad," Milo answered.

"What are you talking about?" her voice was concerned. 

"We need you to send someone quickly.  Tallica is in bad shape, but Hugh is treating her now," Milo gave her our coordinates and hung up before she could ask who I was.  

I went back to the helicopter and grabbed the first aid kit and began to stop her bleeding with blood stopper.  I bandaged her head and moved to her thigh.  It was not broke, but something happened to it.  Soon enough two massive black SUVs pulled up and a dozen people piled out, running to us.  I let them take over while someone treated me and my temple wound.  They wrapped it, and checked my heart and pulse.  Tallica never woke as they examined her, but strangely she seemed to heal fast for a human.   They placed her on a stretcher and took us all to the cars.  They drove away at a fast pace to somewhere, but I was too worried about Tallica to care about them.  

We drove for a couple minutes, which seemed like hours, when a house came into view.  Let's correct that, not a house, more like a castle.  

"What the-" I faded off, studying it with awe.  It was like a medieval castle with a stone wall wrapped around the edges of the cliff top.  It was mostly made of marble stone and was old with fancy architecture.  It was surrounded by rolling green hills.  

"Welcome to Kallica Kingdom," Tallica's voice was raspy, but strong.   Immediately, the first responders surrounded her.   She waved them off, "I am already healed, back off."  

One guy spoke with a grin, "It is a pleasure to have you back, Princess Tallica."  

"It's good to be back," she smiled.
