Sacrifices ( LXXII )
" Aaron! He isn't breathing! He-"
" Aaron!"
" Put pressure on him-!"
" No! Don't touch him! How could you! You could you let me hurt... him! He... let... me... how!?"
Lucinda ran over." Stand Back!
" What did you do!?" Garroth exclaimed, looking at the now frozen Aaron.
" This will keep him in state and buy us time, we need to get him back to the lodge and call for help!"
Quick A/N: If anyone knows what the heck Lucinda actually said there, please tell me.
" And find Alex! She went after Aaron earlier, and that was ages ago!"
Kim and Lucinda both nodded, before they and Garroth set off for her, leaving Zane to look after Aphmau and Aaron.

The group split up, searching through the woods for the girl as none of them knew exactly where the fight had gone down, eventually, Lucinda found her and yelled for the others to join her.
" She has a pulse, but it's weak, she's suffering from frostbite as well, we need to get her back to the lodge."

Hours had passed by before Alex awoke slowly in one of the lodge's rooms, everyone else either taking care of Aphmau, or still working on fixing up the lodge, something they'd all forgotten about for the longest time.
The girl looked around at her surroundings, blinking slightly at the blinding light coming through the window, reflecting off the snow outside, she moved slightly, all too aware of the bandages on her right ribs.
She slowly sat up, wincing slightly at the pain as it shot through her before noticing the tray of food in front of her, a bowl of tomato soup, and some broccoli sat on it, along with a glass of water.
The week passed by in this state, she'd sleep for most of the day, a nurse would come in every once and a while to change the bandages, her friends, mainly Garroth, would stop by every time they had the chance, but she hardly talked, and when she did, it was only a few words at a time.
The others would tell her news about the lodge, who checked in today, any interesting guests, or how her other friends were doing in these trying times. They mainly talked about Aphmau, Aaron's condition was unknown for the large part, but the two girls never actually saw each other, one was in mourning, and one was practically incapable of moving without being in immense pain.
At the end of the week, she was awoken by a new face, a very welcome face.
" Dad..."
" I'm here Alex, don't worry."
" Does that mean-"
" Sylvanna's with Aphmau now, she'll take care of her."
" I'm glad... Dad, there's something I need to tell you... and I'm going to need you to stay calm... well... two things really..."
" Does at least one have to do with your eyes?"
" You noticed?"
" You're my daughter, of course, I noticed the change in your eyes, now come on, you can tell me all about it."
