"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, let's go."
"No you're not you're bleeding again. Ash stop. We're taking a break."
"No I'm fine let's keep―fuck!"
I swear under my breath. "We're taking a break," I growl.
He nods, clutching at his side. "Yeah okay," he mutters, his face twisted in pain.
I help him over to a tree where he collapses against the trunk. "This trip is going to take forever, your mother is probably worried sick―"
"Ash I'm not going to leave you here," I growl.
He snorts. "Your mother made me promise to travel with you and make sure you were safe so if you showed up by yourself she'd have my head for sure. No, I was going to say we should send a hawk to let her know what happened."
My eyebrows furrow. "A hawk? They still use those?"
"The witches do sometimes but not really anymore. I have one because your mother gave it to me. It was hers but she wanted to make sure nothing happened to me while I was travelling," he says and I grin.
Well mom already likes him, I think.
It sounds like your mother planned this. She made him promise to stay with you and keep you safe while travelling. I doubt she really believes that you cannot handle the trip to the Circle by yourself, Azazel says.
Well in that case, I really need to thank my mom when we get there.
"How do we send one?" I ask.
"I have no idea."
"Well that's really helpful, got any other ideas?"
"No, not really. Ah fuck this hurts," he hisses, grabbing his side again.
"Here, let me see," I sigh.
He tries to lift his shirt then lets out a yelp of pain.
I clench my jaw. "Where's your knife? I'll just cut it off," I say.
He jerks his head towards his bag and I fish out the sheathed dagger. I cut his blood-soaked shirt off and use my water bottle to rinse the blood off of his side.
"Shit, it looks a lot worse than yesterday."
"Well that's reassuring," he murmurs.
I shake my head a little. "You know you've become a lot more snarky and sarcastic since you got the shit beat out of you," I mutter.
He makes a face. "Yeah well getting the shit beat out of you tends to make you a little irritable. Not to mention it's easier to voice your thoughts when you're around someone that makes you feel safe," he mumbles.
I pause, looking at him through wide eyes. He stares off into the forest and has a distant look on his face.
I don't think he knows what he's saying, I tell my dragon, noting how pale he is.
He looks like he has lost a lot of blood. I am surprised he did not collapse earlier, she says.
I turn my attention back to Ash to see he is unconscious. He's still breathing but it's shallow and fast.
