The Protectors; Book 1

Making ammends

Foxete's POV:

I wake up, but I'm not where I'm meant to be.
"Otso did you kidnap me again?" I sigh.
I get up and walk around. No Otso in sights.
"Hello?" I call out.
I see a ghost of a someone. Oh. Nevermind. This is a nightmare.
"This is why I don't sleep!" I groan.
When I look back the ghost is gone.
"Now Beema is gonna appear right?" I call out.
I sit down, "I'm waiting!!"
Instead of Beema appearing it's Freddy. My friend Freddy.
"Hey Fox." He laughs.
"What?" I ask getting up.
"You and Bonnie left me alone! You doomed this universe!" He starts walking towards me.
His eyes are red. I can't move anymore. He walks over to me and grabs my wrist.
It's your fault.
I close my eyes and wake up on the ship.
This is why I don't sleep. I carefully climb down from my bunk bed. It doesn't hurt to walk anymore. That's fast healing for you. I walk into the bathroom and take my sweatshirt off. I realize that I need to sew up the bullet-holes.
Well crap.
I change into new clothes and go into the kitchen hoping to find food.
"Oh look. Only thing to eat is mushroom stew!" I say, "How lovely!" I close the fridge.
I sit on the couch and stare into Mr Fluffers beady black eyes. Illoha walks in as I sigh and sit on the couch.
"Morning Illoha..." I say hesitantly.
"Morning Foxete.." She sighs.
It looks like she'd been crying all night. I would be too, but I can't let any of them see my weakness.
I don't blame her.
Suddenly her eyes move to my shoulder and side.
"Fox?!" She gasps.
"What?" I say as I look down at my torso.
Fresh blood bleeds out
I really need to sew these wounds.
"Did you go to bed bleeding?!" She gasps.
"Maybe? I don't remember." I sigh.
"Fox you need to get sewn up now!" She groans.
"Oh..." I sigh.
She smiles. To be honest I was afraid she'd hate me.
"Sit there." She sighs.
"The wound is from a blaster." I sigh, "There's not physical bullet."
"There's still a hole." She sighs.
"Are you a doctor, Princess?" I laugh.
"Yeah, actually I am." She laughs, "Again, not a princess. How did you not feel that??" She sighs.
"I did, I showered last night, but I thought the bandages would stop the bleeding until I had the time to sew it." I sigh.
"I'll do it for you." She smiles, "I'm a doctor."
"Oh, thank you." I grin.
"Do you guys have a med-bay?" She asks.
"Oh, uh," I shake my head, embarrassed. "no."
"Bathroom will do fine." She nods, "Medical supplies?"
"Yes, we do have those, second closet." I state, "We just got them."
"Okay, go to the first bathroom and just wear a tank top or something. I need to be able to see your shoulder and side." She explains.
"Got it." I smile. She stands up and leaves, I follow. I change into a sports top and go to the first bathroom.
She comes in a few minutes later with the supplies.
"You don't have pain killers." She sighs.
"That's fine." I laugh.
"That's fine?" She raises her eyebrows.
"I just got shot twice and walked around like I was fine, it's okay." I shake my head.
"If you say so." She rolls her eyes and begins her work.
About 10 minutes later, she's done. She sighs and hugs me. It's been awhile since someone who wasn't cold and metal hugged me. She was warm. I hugged her back.
"Thanks, Princess." I smirk.
She rolls her eyes. "I'm not a princess!"
I noticed she tied her long hair into a ponytail. It looked beautiful.
"Of course!" I say, but I can't help but smile at her.
I put my sweater on over the top. She gets up to leave, but something inside me wants her to stay.
"Hey! How about you help me fix the tv? Not like we have much to do here right?" I smile.
She laughs, "Yeah, I guess your right!" She reaches her hand out to help me up, "Fair warning, I know nothing about tech."

At least I get to talk to you.
