'Okay, coast clear'

After looking at his surroundings, Pete quickly ran through the birch trees from his previous hiding spot, making sure to not make any noises that his backpack will cause along with his armor. Halfway across, he suddenly stops and tensed up when he heard a deep growl. Sharply looking around, Pete move to the closest tree and silently pulled out his diamond sword, preparing himself to either fight or flight.

Relying on his hearing, Pete soon heard heavy footsteps moving by his hiding spot, causing him to tighten his grip on the sword handle, waiting for the moment while holding his breath. He involuntary let out a shiver as he heard a deep growl, literally behind the tree he was hiding. After a few heart-stopping seconds, he soon heard the footsteps walking away and waited until it was completely silence before he let out a small sigh of relief. 'Too close' Pete thought as he started moving again, now having his sword out just in case.

Soon he came across a familiar area and quickly ran towards a cave. Once inside, Pete stopped moving and started listening around, checking if there were none of the monstrous creatures around and luckily, it was complete silence before Pete started to move.

He kept walking through the dark cave with only his torch as a light source and didn't stop until he was at the entrance of a mine shaft before walking once again. After a few minutes, he quickly came across a small cave that had both cobblestone and mossy cobblestone walls along with two small chest, a furnace, a single torch, enough to let out a dim lighting and a bed. When he quickly entered the cave, Pete made sure to close up the opening before placing three torches down, lighting up the room.

He made his way to the furnace and kneel down, Pete placed his backpack down, receiving a small clanging sound, and opened it revealing to be holding multiple water bottles, planks of woods, some bread and a bunch of apples. Grinning a bit, Pete took out the bottles before placing two of them in the furnace and turned it on before reaching down to take out the apples, which underneath them revealed a bottle of instant health which Pete was lucky enough to get it from killing a witch.

Placing the apples on the crafting table, Pete grabbed the bottle before moving to his feet and moving towards the bed. Grabbing the covers, he lowered it down to reveal that it was his partner for the game, whom was asleep but it looked like a fitful sleep.

"Simon" Pete softly said as he moved the sleeping figure onto his back, frowning a bit at Simon's red face and irregular breathing. "Hey" he kept trying to wake the other up while starting to lightly pat Simon's cheek a few times, ignoring the burning heat seeping from his skin before he finally received a low groan and soon Simon started to slowly wake up.

"Ugh..." Simon weakly groan out as he tried to slap Pete's hand away which the slime hybrid didn't mind as he used a small part of his cape to remove the sweat off of Simon's face. "How you feeling buddy?" Pete asked, slightly worried as Simon blankly stared up at him for a few seconds before coughing a bit, "L-Like shit.." he weakly said with a groan though Pete let out a small sigh of relief. 'At least it haven't got worse' he thought as he moved his hand down to the bottom of Simon's shirt.

"S-Stop" Simon weakly protested as he tried to stop Pete, but he was simply took weak as the other lifted his shirt up enough to reveal a bandaged-covered chest and stomach. Scrunching his nose at the sight, Pete soon gripped Simon's upper arms and started pulling him up into sitting position, causing him to groan louder in pain. "Sorry" Pete apologized as he gently pressed Simon against the wall, making sure that he wouldn't fall over and started to slowly unwrap the make-shifted bandage, sometimes tugging it, since the blood dried against the bandage, sticking to it, causing Simon to let out wince and whimpers from the pain. Soon the bandage was fully off, revealing a deep scratch wound that started on the left area of Simon's chest, down to his stomach and stopped right above his right hip and despite Pete's best efforts to clean the wound, it got infected and caused Simon to get a bit delirious and very sick from the infection.

Slightly wincing at the wound, Pete looked away to pick up the instant health bottle and grabbed the cloth before pouring some of the potion onto the cloth and looked back to Simon. "Okay" he started to say as he placed the bottom of Simon's shirt between his teeth, "This will probably sting really bad so bite into this" Pete explained it to Simon, whom managed to nod before gripping the shirt and slightly bit down, waiting.

Instead of giving him a warning, Pete suddenly pressed the cloth against the wound causing Simon to instantly bite down and let out a muffled scream before instinctively sent out a kick, but luckily Pete was ready for it and quickly pinned his legs down.

After a few painful minutes, Pete finally used up all the health potions and was glad that the wound looked slightly better before quickly re wrapping the wound.

"F-Fuck" Simon whimpered out before clenching his teeth together while breathing heavily from the painful sting. "Sorry" Pete once again said before grabbing one of the spare golden apples, "You need to eat the whole thing" he soon told Simon while holding the apple close. Simon let out a grimace groan before weakly grabbing the apple, not bothered by Pete being the one that was holding it up and started to slowly bite into the apple, eating it.

It took nearly ten minutes for Simon to finish eating the apple, mostly due to him feeling a bit sick halfway which caused Pete to convince him to finish it. As Simon was trying to hold it down, Pete made his way to the furnace, glad that the water bottles inside was ready and pulled them down. "Here" Pete said as he held up one of the bottle and helped Simon slowly drink it, making sure that he doesn't drink it too fast.

Once he drank both of the bottles, Pete made sure that the furnace held more bottles before getting on the bed and leaning against the wall before laying Simon down. "Ngh, I-I'm not tired B-Bodil" Simon started to say as his eyes became unfocused which didn't bother Pete as the hybrid simply placed the covers around the smaller before moving him between his knees and holding him close. "I know, but you should still get some rest" Pete said since pretending to be Bodil, he could get Simon to sleep faster.

"Mm...I love -yawns- you Bodil..." Simon sleepily said before falling asleep causing Pete to chuckle a bit as he held Simon closer, making sure that he wasn't cold. "I'm sure that he loves you too..."

'I hope that we get out of here soon'
