Red and Blue

chapter 16 Annoyed (edited)

I run to the storage room. I look around trying to find some blind folds. My main plan is to put blind folds over there eyes and bring them to my home. I have some healing potions for Fai, and me just in case.

I wish I didn't have to come to this, but I can't leave a dying person out there.

I put my enchanted bandana over my eyes. I won't take the risk of them seeing my eyes. I still will stay firm with not being adopted.

I rummage around, and find seven in an older looking crate. I take all of them, with the healing potion. I look around the room. It's whole base is concrete walls, with a window. It's a little dusty from not being here in a while.

There's a few crates with different random items in there. I glance at the room one more time before rushing back out to Fai.

I rush through the short hallway, I find Fai near the entrance with shoes, and my cloak.
I put the items on the ground. I put on the bandanna on my eyes, with my shoes, and cloak.

"Fai, can you sense there life force? If you can, tell me there condition." I say. Fai looks up with his nose in the air.

" he's not in a stable condition at the moment." Fai answers back.

I click my tongue. I climb on Fai's back. I Tap his shoulder, and he starts running.

While Fai is running , I lean on his back. I glimpse at my surroundings.  There's trees going by quickly. I hear the birds chirps. I hear the vegetation russel around with the wind. Fai's paws on the grass is almost like a lullaby, calming my down.

We make it there in a little over five minutes. There's four people. It seems like three men, and one woman.

There in a typical adventuring type clothing. There in thin armour. The type you'd see in fantasy manga. The woman of the group currently has a cloth over one of the men's stomach.

I let Fai put me down, behind a large tree. Fai stays in the shadows behind the tree. I slowly start walking out.

Before I'm completely out behind the tree, I see one of the men look towards my direction. He pulls out his sword. "Who's there? Come out!" I hear the man yell.

I walk at an average pace forward. He looks at me warily. Before he does anything I answer him, "That person over there is dying." I simply state it like a fact.

The man with the sword looks at me angrily. I cut him off when I see his mouth open. " I have a healing potion here. It will help him, but not fully. I will have to treat him at my home."

The man looks into my hand seeing the healing potion. He glances back at his three other companions.

"Edrick, we don't have a choice at the moment let him through. The woman holding the cloth against the man's stomach says.

The other man that hasn't said or done anything yet, stares  at me going near the women. I walk to there injured companion.

The man injured is barely conscious. I open the bottle full of potion. I open his mouth a little letting the potion into his mouth.

I close his mouth before he can spit the potion out. He swallows it, as I'm looking at him. The wound on his stomach turns a golden ish color. The wound starts to heal. It heals, but stops after a minute.

The man's stomach is mostly closed up. There's still a smaller wound though. It's not bleeding, and it seems almost in the process to start scabbing.

I sigh out loud. The man is asleep, but he looks weak. I'd have to treat him for a day at least to let him feel better.

I click my tongue again. "Your companion is stable for now. I'm going to have to treat him. I'm taking you guys to my home, and no objections. He'll die out here soon, in the condition he's in, out here."

The two men with the woman look at each other. They look at each other helplessly. The man that hasn't said anything till now speaks up. " We have no choice in the matter at the moment, but if you cause him any harm we will attack on the spot."

I sigh inwardly. " Yes, but first, I have blind folds that you will put on yourselves to not find out where I live." I clearly saw objection in there eyes. Before any of them had the chance to speak I also added, " Or he can die out here."

I see there anger visible in there eyes. I throw the blind folds to them. They all grab them.
Before they put them on, I yell for Fai.

Fai comes out. I ask for the tallest man with the sword, (I think his name was Edrick) to help me lift the injured one onto Fai. He helps me put him onto Fai.

Fai walks a steady pace forward. The three people behind me put there on blind folds. They held each others wrist while I held the tallest man's shirt.

My only thought was, " this has been a long day."
