Gods Sinners

Chapter 6: Wounded

Ray POV

Zack has his back leaning against the wall, sitting right next to me. Scanning his body, his sweater was muddy and wet. A few bloodstains here and there. Also scanning the area and realizing that we have moved.
"Where are we?"I ask him. He turns at me and sighs.
"A cabin 5 hours away from the last village we were in, "he tells me.
"Wait, you carried me here?!"
"Yeah, dude your light as a feather" he points out.
"So what happened...?"
"You don't remember, YOU WERE FREAKIN STABBED BY CATHY!!!"
"Wait, WHAT?!" I then push off the covers and put my shirt up to see my wound. My cut was under my breast, but it was covered by some bandages.
"Zack..." I turned to look at him and he's blushing. He turned away and didn't make eye contact with me.
"I'm sorry, I had to strip your top clothing to keep you from dying" he apologizes. My heart then becomes warm, to hear him apologize makes me happy.
"Thank you, Zack" I then move in front of him.
"What about you, are you hurt?!"I ask him.
"Not really," he says.
"What do you mean not really?"I ask him.
"Um...a little," he tells me.
"What happened..?"
"Eddie had the energy to turn off the self destruct button and set the whole place on fire" my eyes widen a little but my face didn't show much emotion, "things from the ceiling came crashing down and a long piece of wood stabbed my back and pierced through it".
"Were you able to get it out?!"I ask him.
"No, but I was able to take out most of it," he says with pain in his voice.
"....."
"What?"
"Want me to help you?"I offer.
"Do you know how to take it out?" he asks.
"I know a way"I respond.
"Well, I guess is my only choice" I help him get up and he guides me to the restroom.
"Sit in the shower, "I tell him and he does as I say. The water was luckily working and I filled a bucket with hot water. "First we are going to need to numb your wound".
"Okay," he says as he takes off his sweater and reveals layers of bandages on his body. I then see his wound, it was bigger than mine and it was still bleeding.
"You're lucky to be alive and running. I can't believe you carried me while losing all this blood"I point out. I get one of our bottles and pour some hot water in it. Then, without telling Zack, I pour extremely hot water on his back.
"AHHHH WHAT THE HELL RAY?!!!" he screams angrily.
"Sorry, we don't have ice and there's no other way to numb your body, "I tell him. As I pour more as he grunts in pain. I then have an idea. I rip half of my shirt and fold. Then I give it to Zack. "Here, put this in your mouth, "I tell him.
"Why?"
"It will help with the pain a little, "I tell him.
"Whatever"I then continue. I touch his wound to see if he could feel anything.
"Can you feel me touching you?"
"No" he responds.
"Good," I say. I then slowly open the wound bigger to see where the wood is. I found it, but it required me to open his wound wider.
"Zack, I'm going to need to open-"
"JUST DO IT" he commands me. I then get his scythe and cut the wound more. More blood came out, spilling on my hands. It was warm and the smell filled my nostrils. I wanted to gag from the strong smell of blood which then tastes like iron. Though, I couldn't get sidetrack. I continued opening the wound more and Zack was biting the cloth hard and screaming into it. I was then able to reach the wood but his body wasn't numb anymore which meant that once I pull it out, Zack is going to feel extreme pain. I reach for the wood and count to three. As I count, I dump the rest of the hot water on Zack.

I pull out the wood and Zack screamed as if someone was stabbing him. Then he stops.
"Zack, are you okay?!"I ask as I take deep breaths.
"......."
"ZACK?!"
"......."

"I'm fine" he then says.
"Thank god," I thought.
"Now lets quickly clean the wound and put something on to stop the blood," I tell him. I then make sure I clean both wounds that are on his back and on his stomach. After that, I then quickly cover him with more bandages that we had in the backpack. "How are you feeling?"I ask him.
"Better, thanks Ray," he says while smiling. I then felt my body getting warm again but then it faded again.
"That's good to hear" I tell him. My anxiety and stress levels then calmed down. As I was taking out the wood, my whole body was trembling and I was ready to past out. I felt like vomiting from all the smell of blood, but this was the first. I actually have no problem with smelling blood, but today was different. My body had no more energy to get up or move. It's in shock right now and I can still feel my self trembling.

"Ray, are you okay?"Zack asks me. I then was able to regain my sense to speak and focus a little.
"Um, yeah I'm fine"I lie.
"Then why is your body trembling?"he asks me.
"I-I don't know"I lie again.
"Were you scared?!" I didn't want to tell him but I couldn't lie.
"......."I just stared for a couple a seconds til-

"...yeah, I got scared a little"I finally say.

"Well, so did I"he responds. I then look at him to see that he was actually smiling a lot right now.
"Without you, I could have died right now"he tells me. I couldn't help but feel good in the inside. He then gets up and picks me up.
"What are you doing?!"I ask him.
"Taking you to the bed so you can relax"he responds.
"Oh" he then drops me on the old bed and lay down next to me. After a few minutes, he quickly falls asleep. Inside, I'm really happy, that I could smile but I can't right now. I then relax and also drift off to sleep.
