"Jon! JON WHERE ARE YOU!" 
Everything was dark and blurry, and he could taste blood in his mouth. It hurt, it all hurt so much. And then he felt numb, and everything was suddenly muffled like he'd been dumped under water.
Tord was still yelling his name, he was somewhere to the left of him. 
"Jon! SAY SOMETHING! PLEASE!"
Jon lifted himself up, feeling lightheaded and slightly dizzy, but not bad. Tord was just a few feet away, looking around frantically.
"I'm over here!" Jon called. "Just come over here!"
Tord didn't seem to hear him, but still headed in his direction. 
"see, I'm fine! No need to panic!" 
Tord stood right in front of him, a horrified expression on his face. 
"T- Tord? What's wrong? I'm okay"
Tord rushed past him, ran through him, and dropped to his knees. He was cradling something in his arms. Something very small and very bloody.
