(Juliet's POV)

"Please stop! D-Don't hurt him!" I screamed as I picked up a stone and threw it at the daemon man. Once it hit his head he launched towards me, I managed to dodge his attack and run towards Gladiolus. As I reached him his frame seemed to be smaller, a lot less muscular, after turning him over my eyes widen in shock. "P-Prompto!?" Suddenly the man threw me away and with that. my vision went black.

My eyes shot open with a gasp soon followed by a mouth full of blood. I started to choke on my blood and my vision went hazy, I looked around and rolled off the bed falling onto my chest forcing the blood out of my mouth. As I looked up, my eyes widened, my heart skipped a beat, my entire body froze as my blood was still flowing through my teeth. 'It's him!?'  he reached out to me and I closed my eyes and screamed as loud as I could, spraying my blood across the carpet. I felt 2 firm hands on my back and shoulder, opening my eyes slowly I look up and see Noctis with a worried expression. Suddenly Noctis was pulled back and Gladiolus quickly picked me up in his arms making me scream in agony as I coughed blood all over his chest. His ember eyes sadden as Ignis carefully grabbed me away and scolded Gladiolus for recklessly picking me up as Ignis placed me on the bed. Gripping on the bedsheets in pain I managed to let a few words slip out of my mouth. "P-Prompto.. where is.. he..?"

Noctis came in with Prompto holding his nose as blood dripped through his fingers. He looked up at me with one eye opened, his stare didn't move from mine as he pushed himself away from Noctis and bent down to my side and brushed my hair out of my face with his clean hand. "Don't worry... I'm right here." He gave me his signature smile and was grabbed my Ignis. "Come on Prompto. Let's clean you up and then you can go back to Juliet. You two Noct and Gladio. Leave her be."

Ignis's POV

As I dragged Prompto to the bathroom to clean his nose Gladiolus and Noctis followed after me and watched me tend to Prompto's nose. I shoved a tissue up his left nostril and lent him over so his face was facing the ground. I stood up and patted his head and glared at Gladiolus. "What on earth do you think you're doing just grabbing Juliet like that!? She's in tremendous pain and you damn well know that too! I don't know why she was on the floor but that gave you no reason to pick her up like that!" Gladiolus just looked away ashamed with his arms crossed over his chest as he grunted. "I got worried dammit! I thought you said Prompto was looking after her! But as we get here after you untied us from that tree, we find him groaning on the floor just waking up with his nose bleeding then only to hear Juliet fall off the bed!" I heard Prompto whimper softly as he gripped onto his jeans.

"I didn't mean to.. My phone was bright and I couldn't see. I woke up from her falling off the bed... I tried to get up as quickly as possible." I stood in front of Prompto as Gladiolus was stomping towards him with gritted teeth. "Shut the fuck up you stupid blonde-" Suddenly Noctis pointed his sword at Gladious's back and growled. "Don't you fucking get any closer." I sighed mentally as I grabbed Prompto's arm and dragged him back into the room with Juliet and shut the door softly and then went back to the 2 men arguing in my bathroom.

Prompto's POV

Ignis dragged me into the room Juliet was laying down and shut the door behind him and walked towards Gladiolus and Noctis arguing. 'They're not thinking about Juliet..'  Sighing I pull the tissue out of my nose and wiped it just in case there was any blood, I threw the tissue into the desk bin and sit on the bed next to Juliet who looked up at me. "P-Prompto.. I'm gonna die... aren't I..?" I crawled on top of her and our faces were so close that our noses barely touched, I locked my eyes with hers as I gently gripped her chin and wiped the blood off her bottom lip, with soft eyes and a soft caring smile I whisper just audible for her to hear. "Not when I'm by your side. I'll do everything in my power to keep you alive and safe Cookie-chan."
