In the Arms of a Caretaker Chapter Seventeen By Blackdawn Da'tou opened her eyes in a deep breath, almsot like she had stopped breathing in her sleep. She coughed from it and found her throat to be dry that only added to her hoarse cough. "Da'tou." Gr'it-in's voice called out that was followed movement. She found her tired eyes swollen and hard to open, and as a result could only open them halfway. Insects were heard all around her and creatures howling and screeching in the distance, some that she knew were nocturnal. The humidity also felt low. Whcih led to the conclusion she was outside. Da'tou saw movement from a heated figure at the corner of her eye then a hand touching her. The suddeness and not knowing the hand was going to touch her caused her to gasp. "Da'tou," His voice soothingy called again, "It is all right." He paused for a moment then laid a hand under her mandibles, placed a hand under her head slightly lifting her and moved his other hand. "Here, drink this." Then placed a container between her mandibles and slowly poured cool water. Da'tou drank until she gagged on the liquid then relaxed her head on his arm. She felt the metal of his armor under her head and was uncomfortable, but the feeling of him being there, holding her was soothing. The top side of his his big fingers from his left hand lightly stroked the side of her face and his breathing was steady and calm. Thoughts of Kere rang through her head now, the image of his torn throat and destroyed face was all she could see and caused her to cry softly. "Da'tou?" Gr'it-in said questionly, "What is wrong? Is it the pain? I can give you some more sedatives." No medicines could treat this wound she was experiencing. Not replying, she only laid in his arms as the image and self-inflicting pain grew. She shut her eyes and dug a taloned hand into the dirt trying to shove away her dead brother. "Da'tou," he said worridly this time, "What is it, why are you crying?" Wanting to change the conversation, to keep her feeling from growing, she asked. "Where am I? What's going on?" Gr'it-in didn't answer her for a few moments, pausing like he was confused at her question when she was crying and didn't answer his question first. "You are safe Da'tou." he said, "We are in the haven of the jungle some miles from your birthplace. There is a fire here, strips of dried meat and water for you. The rest of the pack is camped not to far away for you privacy, and I was left as your caretaker. You've been unconcious for nearly three days." She closed her eyes and turned her head away from him, not wanting him to see her tears, and soon she turned to her side. Doing that had caused hot pains to shoot through various parts of her body, and sore muscles that made themselves known. But surprisingly not in much pain as she thought she would be. The physical and mental pains wrapped around her torturing her ever which and she cried out loud from it all. "Da'tou." Gr'it-in snapped, grabbing her body and turning her around where she would face him. "Will you answer me? What is wrong? Why do you cry?" She didn't want to tell him, she didn't want to tell anyone, she just wanted all the pain to stop, she didn't want anymore assassins after her, she wanted everything to go back the way they were before all this happened, back when she was still happy. But, if wasn't for all this happening, she wouldn't of met Gr'it-in and his pack, she wouldn't of found her Mother's belongings and wouldn't of known her own past. Gr'it-in growled, "Damn you Da'tou." He said shaking her a little, just enough to jolt her and demanded from a crackled voice box. "For the gods sake, tell me what is wrong!" Not being able to take it anymore, all her feelings bottled up inside and him patronizing her, she howled and fought to get up while screaming. "Let me go Gr'it-in, just let me go!" But it was no use against his strong grip. "Da'tou," his voice called over hers, "Calm down, you are in no shape to be going anywhere, just calm down." Da'tou screamed again. She screamed with all her might in fury at everything and kept fighting against him, but his grip was still solid. And after struggling against him for some minutes, she finally wore herself out and slowed her struggling then finally stopped. Exhausted phyisically as well as mentally, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Copyright © 2003-2005, Blackdawn. |
