“Mate.”
CHAPTER TWO
REVNA
Revna had no idea why this guy was saying mate. She didn't know him. She didn't know anybody.
“Where does it hurt, mate?” The guy asked but Revna couldn't talk.
The pain just seemed to be increasing with every second. How was it getting worse when she wasn't even on it?
His eyes started to track over her body and once they landed on her leg, his whole demeanor changed.
“One of you run back to the clinic and get things prepared. Mind link one of the other healers to help you and be prepared,” the man in front of her said.
One of the men ran off as the man in front of her looked back.
“I'm going to carefully pick you up and take care of everything,” he gently said but she could hear the panic in his voice.
“Okay?” she mumbled.
Everything was getting harder to concentrate on. Maybe it was from the pain and maybe it was from the blood she had lost. Or maybe it was a combination of both. Revna didn't know.
She felt herself start to lean back, not able to hold herself up.
“Whoah,” the man said as he quickly wrapped his arms around her body.
The first thing she noticed was how the pain slightly got better with his touch. The second thing she noticed was the tiny little fireworks dancing across her body where he was touching her.
Before she could ask about them, he picked her up and she screamed out in pain. He had jostled her leg, making it hit the other leg.
“Shit, I'm sorry little one. Everything it's going to be okay. Daddy is going to take care of you now,” he gently said as he started to walk.
With every step he took the pain just seemed to increase. No longer was the pain going away with his magical touch but it was getting worse and worse.
“Car,” she mumbled. “Stuff. Car. Get it?”
“Shhhh,” the man said. “You won't be needing that stuff anymore. Right now you need to focus on relaxing and nothing else. You're home.”
If Revna was in her right mind, she would ask so many questions but she wasn't. Her mind was clouded from the pain she was enduring.
Before she could say anything, the man started to jog. She screamed out in pain as her leg started to move. The pain only intensified as he got faster and faster. Didn't he know she was in pain? Why was he making her in even more pain?
“Room three,” someone yelled.
Revna hadn't even realized they were in a building now. How far had he run? When she first got through the fog, she hadn't seen any buildings nearby.
“We're going to take an x-ray of her leg first,” someone else said. “Place her down on the table.”
Whoever was holding her placed her down on the table and she yelled in pain. Once he let her go, it was like the pain increased ten times from what it was before
“You're going to be okay. It's just going to take a second,” the man said.
They placed something over her stomach before all of them left the room. She continued to cry and yell in pain. She heard a noise go off before everybody walked back into the room, the man who carried her immediately coming to her side and grabbing her hand.
The pain lessened a little, but it was still overwhelming and excruciating. Maybe walking on it hadn't been the best idea, but she needed to get somewhere to be seen. She didn't want to risk waiting there for hours and hours, losing too much blood and dying.
“Fracture… gash… clean,” she heard someone say.
