(Craig Tucker x Reader): Stolen Love

9 ~ Reunited

With a forceful throw, I threw the stick into the underground lake, leaving it there until it'll be found again, if it will ever. 

My vision returned to present day, to where I was now. I gasped and fell flat on my butt, dropping the stick in the process.

'That was a lot to take in.' I thought to myself, taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

So, that's The Stick of Truth, I've heard legends on it but never have I thought of it as a real thing that exists.

Should I leave the stick here? I don't want it to fall into the wrong hands but if I leave it here someone else could find it and they could use it for evil.

I thought about it for a short while but I didn't have because I heard somebody coming this way, was it Craig?

You grabbed the stick and hid behind a large rock that jutted out of the cave walls.

You could see mostly everything in the cave thanks to the glowing lake.

From a hole on the other side of the cave, which I didn't know existed until now, emerged Craig, who looked hurt.

He was limping his way towards the water, dragging his hand across the cave walls to support his balance in case he were to fall.

He came up towards the lake, collapsing right at lake's base.

I got up from my hiding spot and called Craig's name in a worried manner.

Craig looked up at me, finally I could see that his leg was a darker color than his other one.

He must of gotten it stuck under the rocks when they collapsed in on us.

I dived into the lake, swimming my way towards Craig.

I have to help him, I can't just let him die after he protected me from all those guards, I owe him big time and now is my chance to repay him.

It didn't take long, thanks to all those swimming classes my father made me take in case of an emergency I was a pretty fast swimmer.

My father put me through training in case something were to happen to me like this.

I reached the other end of the lake, pulling myself out of the lake and making my way towards Craig's crippled body.

"This might sting." I said, gently placing my hand onto Craig's leg, slightly touching his wound.

He grunted with pain as I touched his leg but soon enough the wound was completely gone, though it did leave a scar on his leg but that was the only thing that was I guess the downside.

Craig breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks Y/n."

I looked down at Craig to say something but he was resting after I healed him.

Craig's POV
My eyes opened to revel that I was in a plain white room where it looked like nothing existed in the entire universe.

"Ah Craig, you're finally awake. Or shall I say asleep." I heard a voice call out to me.

I knew who was using the dreamvisitor to contact me.

I got up from the floor, dusted myself off and waited for the speaker to revel themselves.

"Hello Grand Wizard sir." I said, waiting for Cartman to appear which he did.

"Where have you been?" Cartman demanded looking all angry at me.

Do I tell him about Y/n? I mean did plan to bring her to him but I'm not sure anymore. 

I don't know why I'm having second thoughts, I'm never like this. What's happening to me?

"I got captured." I said, still trying to figure out if I should tell him.

"Of course you did." Cartman brought his free hand up to his head, squeezing the bridge of his nose.

"I brought you someone useful." I finally told him.

"This better be good, Craig. You do nothing useful around here." Cartman dropped his hand and looked at me with a look of disbelief.

"Someone who can heal someone with a single touch, and can control plants." I said, I spoke in a monotone manner I didn't change my tone at all or my blank face.

"Sure." Cartman just said.

I opened my mouth to say something but couldn't, the world was fading away.

Guess I was waking up.

I slowly opened my eyes to see Y/n sitting there, my head placed on her lap possibly when I was asleep.

She looked down at me, noticing that I was awake.

"Craig! You're alright." She said with a big smile.

I sat up from where I was laying down and immediately Y/n hugged me tightly.

"What?" I asked her.

"I was just worried. I never used my powers to heal someone close to death."

I didn't say anything I just returned the hug. It just felt like the right thing to do at the moment.

"Did you find a way out of the cave?" Y/n asked as she pulled away from the hug.

"Yes."

Y/n's face lit up with joy.

"So we're not stuck down here!" She practically screamed.

Jeez guess she really wanted to get out of her huh?

I stood up, feeling my leg was pretty much all better and walked out of the underground lake room.

"Hey! Wait up!" Y/n screamed, she ran up right next to me, following me towards the exit of the cave.

By the time we exited the cave, it was the beginning of dawn as the sun started to rise.

"We have to get moving." I said, grabbing Y/n's arm and moving towards a direction I knew would lead towards the Kingdom of Kupa Keep.
