New Pains Chapter Four By Blackdawn Da'tou let out a painful groan, her body hurting more then ever as she easily could pinpoint each stab wound and just how painful each was, forcing her eyes to open even though they wanted to stay shut longer and was surprised and confused to see the sky above her. Instead of getting up, she just laid there, looking at the sky, listening to some nearby birds chirping and was wondering how she got here, wherever here might be. Lifting her right arm laying the hand across a wound on the center of her stomach, she expected to feel the crusty, dried blood on her shirt and a wet, sticky scab covered in puss from serious infection. Instead, she felt no shirt or an infected wound but felt uncovered skin and Vaseline like substance on the wound. Jumping up in surprise at the mere feel but came to a halt halfway up in a hiss, new pains came in her back and shot to her ribs, letting out a wheeze and reluctantly laid back down, she wanted to get up, to walk around and investigate what was going on, she wanted to go back home. Running her hand over most of her stomach and came to realize she had been stripped down to her under garments. There was the shuffling of a nearby person then the sound of feet walking across wood, each step sending vibrations that went straight for her back and slowly made its way through her body, her face cringing at the painful twinges trying to focus and push the pain to the side. Looking up again and seen a person looming over her, she tried focusing but her eyes just didn't want to listen to what her brain said, the same went for the rest of her body as she tried to lift her hand, but the only thing it did was stumble about. Before she could say anything a hand slid under her neck just at the base of her skull and lifted her head upwards, then something was placed at her mandibles shortly followed by a few drops of water falling into her mouth making her open her mandibles on reflex. Cool water poured into her mouth and down her throat. The coolness of the water sending moisture back into her dry throat all the way down to her chest, feeling each drop take affect as it made its way down. But Da'tou ended up getting greedy over the amount and choked on it, spitting out excess water from her mouth that dripped down her chin and the side of her throat. The hand carefully lowered her head back down and Da'tou was able to force out a weary thank you, looking back up at the person now that her eyes were able to focus and was surprised to see her rescuer awake and hovering above her. "You're all right." She croaked, her throat still begging for more water. "Yes." The rescuer said to her in Arawakan, the native tongue of the humans she been living with, the language she knew since she was able to speak, the accent was terrible but none the less, the dialect was correct. "Wh-Where am I?" Da'tou tiredly asked. "You are safe young one." "But..." Da'tou wanted to tell him of her adopted family that she was being looked for and that she wanted to go home, but she was just too tired to talk, not for that long at least, but could spare a few minutes before she would fall asleep. "Who are you?" She decided to ask. "I am Gr'it-in." He replied sternly. Da'tou was able to understand the sentence, but not the name he had given her, "G-Grrr hit in." "That is close enough, but now you must sleep." "I can't..." Her eyes closed but she forced them open, "I have to go...home..." Again, her eyes closed but did not open and she fell asleep, it not taking long for her body and mind to fall into a deep slumber while her body took its time in healing itself.
A full day and night had gone by until Da'tou began to stir from her sleep, then, at the break of dawn, she opened her eyes. Da'tou opened her eyes looking up, the sky and waving tree branches were still there, again, she moved to sit up but did it slowly, the pain was still in her body but not as bad when she first awoke. Looking down at the wounds on her belly and was surprised at how nicely and quickly they were healing, her fingers playing with the Vaseline substance that was placed over the wounds then had wondered to a new wound, one she had not seen before. There was a spotted scab directly in the middle of her diaphragm, it was small yet large, like a large needle of the sort had been driven in that area. Letting out a low groan and looked around, even more surprised when she discovered she had been sleeping in a big tree, finding her clothes piled on top of each other just an arms reach to her right and proceeded to put them back on: The shorts were stained with grass and dried blood, this she could tell from the smell and the feel of it, the front of her shirt was filled with nothing but holes and covered in dried blood, more then her shorts, her sandals looking as if they were going to fall apart at any moment. Putting her sandals on then stood up and looked around some more, she saw more trees in the distance but no Gr'it-in, walking to the edge of the tree and looked down, her stomach went into flips at the sight of how high she was up but did not move, she had to be 30 feet up, maybe more. Laying an arm across her right side hugging her aching ribs and looked into the horizon, she could see Mount Hyla from her position which was just 10 miles north of Xingasa. Balling her fists in anger: She had been shot at, fell off a cliff, stabbed multiple times, suffered pain and infection, hadn't been home in over a week now and was still in pain. Screw Gr'it-in, he may have rescued her, but she had gone through too much for too long to sit around even more and wait for him to arrive, whenever that might be. She kneeled down and started to climb down, although it was some long ways down and there weren’t any vines or knots in the tree to hang on too, she could still get down by digging the talons on her hands and feet into the tree. She finally reached the ground after a few painful minutes and looked in the direction of Mount Hyla, now she was only able to see the tip of the mountain, looking around on the ground then at the trees, Gr'it-in could still not be seen or heard, she couldn't even smell him, a smell she had grown accustomed to. Then, without further due, she headed to Mount Hyla, planning on going home. Copyright © 2003-2005, Blackdawn. |
