Maxen P.O.V

I wasn't awake yet i knew i was in a dream or a state of mind but it felt... different felt more real than anything before i was walking down a long hallway inside a house. I was coming up on two doors on the right one farther down than the other door. It was slightly opened close to being closed, i opened it softly not sure what id see but i saw two babies sleeping in their cribs. I walked over to one having looked just born an in deep sleep.

Maxen: "i gotta try not to wake them" the other looked as if it had been just born like the other. I began to turn around to head out when i took another step the floor made a creaking noise from the boards i tried to hurry out before waking them then proceeded down the hallway i got to the last door but as i went to open it up i woke up.

Maxen: "the hell was that about"

I started to sit up when i felt a great pain throughout my body from the knife wound an arrows. I looked at my body as it had been taken care of an wrapped. I slid my legs out of the bed roll an looked around i was in an abandoned cottage house long abandoned at that. I struggled to get up but i managed, i proceeded to the door an opened it to look outside.

Maxen: {Whats going on last i remembered it was hot as hell outside before i blacked out now its cooler an the leaves are beginning to fall}

I walked out the door an began walking which was more of limping but i kept walking around getting a look for the land that i was around it was mostly just trees with a small dirt walkway leading to the door it was getting chilly out so i decided to gather so kinnling like twigs an broken branches from trees to build a fire. I wondered off alittle ways from the cottage an decided to head back but on my way i heard someone cussing.

Clara: "Now god dammit where is he..did squatters come by a grab him. For fuck sake."

Maxen: {welp thats clara}

I kept walking till she was in view an just kept walking to get to her still holding my side an the wood till i got to her. She hadnt seen me yet because she was pacing around.

Maxen: "You miss me or something because you seem worried?" i chuckled some an saw her turn around with an angry expression.

Clara: "What the hell are you doing up. You're suppose to be resting. I thought someone was going to have to die you cant do that kinda of shit you need yo relax."

I looked at her confused wondering if she could care about me but she could tell i mustve been thinking something like that.

Clara: "Its not that i really care about you because i dont but i dont want someone else to die on me or because of me"

I was silent for a moment then finally spoke up an explained what i was doing but she didnt seem to care she just wanted me to rest which i agreed with but i cant just lay still. So i just listened to her an went back in to the abandoned cottage an laid down to rest while clara kept watch. The morning turned to night while i kept resting which was boring but guess i should relax it felt better than when i was walking so i decided to make conversation with clara.

Maxen: "Soooo. How long have i been out?"

She looked at me for a moment an it liked like she was thinking

Clara: "I'd say about a few weeks which was a dick move on your part i had to keep you from keeling over or in a better choice of words dying"

Maxen: "Well im sorry if i could've helped you i would've but i felt like i was in a dream which didnt feel that long but i woke up an my surroundings an the outside was different"

Clara: "Dont apologize for something you cant help"

Maxen: "Ok well any idea when you i wont get bitched at for getting up" i laughed some after that but when clara looked at me i could feel the anger as she glared at me. She stayed quiet for a while only to say that shes not sure. I told her goodnight an i rolled over to fall asleep.

I woke up later on with wood burning in the fireplace i heard some movement an if it was clara still up i didnt want to get harped at again so u rolled over like i was asleep an had my eyes squinted an sure enough she was still awake an she had started to walk over to me. She crouched down closer to me she must still think im asleep she was mumbling to herself but i could hear what she was saying but i dismissed the thought as she began getting closer

Maxen: {oh god does she realize im awake} but my thought changed when she kissed my forehead an spoke up still thinking i was asleep

Clara: "Please get better soon please maxen"

I decided to open my eyes like i just woke up which shocked her

Maxen: "You ok?"

Clara: "Yea i was just seeing if you were asleep because if you werent i was gonna raise hell" she chuckled awkwardly but i couldnt get over what just happened in my head.

Maxen: {What the hell is going on?}

Clara: "Get some rest maxen you'll need it"

Maxen: "Ok goodnight clara."

Clara: "Goodnight maxen"

after that i just decided to roll over an go to sleep next thing i knew i fell asleep with the same thought in my head about what clara did.
