Eric drops his hands from me and I rush over to Josiah just as he falls forwards. I catch him then Eric carries him to the table. I help lift him up then rush over to the sink and wet at least five cloths. I run back over to Eric and Josiah and Eric helps me take off Josiah's shirt and rip his pant leg off of his right leg. I dab the wounds and brush the cloth over the blood.
"He needs to get in the shower. There's too much blood for me to see the wounds." I say and Eric nods. He pulls him off the table and I follow him into the bathroom. I turn on the tub and Josiah moans his eyes still shut. I bend down over the tub and place my hand in feeling the water.
"Ok it's good." I say standing up and turning to face Eric. He nods and I help him slide Josiah's pants over his wounds. The blood covers all the way up to his stomach and I try not to throw up when I see it. He slides off Josiah's boxers and I grab a towel and throw it over his man areas. Pulling off my shoes I step into the tub before Eric brings my brother over and I help get him in.
"I'll hold him up so he doesn't sink. You wash off the blood." I say to Eric as I squat in the shallow water holding Josiah's head up. The blood turns a dark red and I have to bite down hard on my tongue to keep the bile rising in my throat down. Eric gets right into it scrubbing of the dried blood. I feel the blood slosh around my feet and legs and the nausea is just too much.
"Please hurry." I say taking deep breaths.
"Are you gonna be sick?" Eric asks and I shake my head taking a deep breath.
"Just hurry." I say and he nods continuing to scrub. Blood chunks fall off and it's too much to take especially as I scrub blood out from his hair too. Eric finishes and I help pull him out of the tub my stomach rolling as we go. We take him back out to the kitchen and lift him onto the table. I reach a wound on his leg and my stomach reaches it's last battle.
"It's pussing." I say and feel the bile rise again.
Come on come on come on I have got to do this for him.
I take a deep breath and clean up the wound.
"Burn the tip of my sword. I need to open this wound again." I say handing my sword to Eric and moving on to the next wound. I clean it out then touch my hand to it and let some of the healing energy enter it. I feel semi drained but when I pull back I feel a little stronger. I do the same for the next three wounds and now I'm feeling lightheaded.
"Here." He says and I turn around and take the sword from him. I reach the wound and gently press the tip of the knife to it and slit open the wound. I gag but finally get the layer of skin off and clean the wound out. I press my fingers to it and once again the healing energy leaves my fingers.
"Raven." Eric exclaims then catches me as I fall backwards.
"You need to rest." He says but I shake my head and stand up pushing away from him and gripping onto the table.
"Raven you're draining yourself you need to rest." Eric says
"No, I have to finish this." I say then I take a deep breath and place my hand to the sixth wound. This one takes more energy and strength to heal. The cut is deeper and I'm draining too quickly.
"Raven please." Eric says catching me as I lean towards the left a lot.
"I'm almost done." I say and he sighs but releases me and I continue healing Josiah's wounds. I reach the last one and touch it. This time it hurts to heal him and my chest contorts and I cry out in pain. Falling to my knees I huff and gasp for air.
"That's enough Raven you have got to rest!" Eric exclaims squatting down beside me.
"No I don't. I need to be awake when he wakes up!" I exclaim
