I stumbled along the dirt path, my bare feet rubbing against the cool dirt and gripped the wound in my side. I couldn’t make it much further… I would have to. My eyelids were beginning to flutter and my vision was wavering.
But, before my eyes shut and I collapsed from blood loss, I saw a house not too far away. As in, a lot closer than I thought. I kept pushing myself and warm liquid made it’s way between my fingers and down my side.
I grabbed the railing along the side of the porch with my left hand, pulling myself along to try to reach the door. Struggling up the steps, my breathing started to become slower and I began to panic. I pushed myself to the door and made myself knock with a weak arm. So, really, it just thudded against the door several times.
The sound of the door opening registered in my ears and I collapsed. “El… Elric…” I managed out before the world around me caved in and went dark.
