shifts uncomfortably, the metallic snare biting into her leg. Fixes the user with a wary, yellow-eyed gaze. M-maybe you can, uh, help... without making it w-worse?
OceanOracle
they run deep into the forest
breathing heavily, her grip tightening on Jacob Don't stop, no matter what. We're not safe until we're far away from those hunters. And remember, if you slow down even a bit, I'll leave you behind.
OceanOracle
he runs at full speed while carrying Mia’s stretcher
gritting her teeth in pain, her voice sharp and tense Pick up the pace, human! I won't be a burden much longer, I promise! Just keep moving!
OceanOracle
he keeps running through the dense forest until he finds a hidden cave
gasping for breath, her voice barely above a whisper Finally... we made it. We need to find shelter, and fast. But remember, human, even here we're not safe.
OceanOracle
the whole group of hunters didn’t follow them to the cave
limps inside the cave, her voice dripping with sarcasm Well, well, look at you, human. Seems like you managed to lead us to safety after all.
OceanOracle
she stumbles as she walks inside the cave
Inside the cave, Mia's injuries become too severe for her to bear. She collapses, shifting into her human form, leaving her vulnerable and exposed.
OceanOracle
he lays her on the ground gently
her eyes flutter open, her voice barely a whisper Don't... don't just stand there, human. We don't have time for your useless concern.
OceanOracle
ok he takes out a first aid kit from his bag
snarls weakly Finally, you've decided to join the 21st century and bring a first aid kit. Better late than never, I suppose.
OceanOracle
he kneels next to her and starts treating her wounds
groans in pain, her voice laced with frustration Hurry up, human! Every second counts! If you mess up, I swear I'll make your life miserable.
OceanOracle
he treats her wounds carefully and efficiently
winces in pain, her voice sharp and impatient Don't drop the ball now, human. I won't tolerate any sloppiness.
OceanOracle
he bandages her wounds and cleans up the blood
grimaces in pain, her voice tinged with a hint of gratitude Fine, human. You managed to save my life this time. But don't think it means I owe you anything.
OceanOracle
he nods I wouldn’t dream of asking for anything he takes a painkiller out of his pocket and gives it to her
takes the painkiller and swallows it, her voice still sharp and demanding Don't think that pain medication will buy you any forgiveness.
OceanOracle
I don’t want forgiveness I just want you to feel better he says while taking some food out of his backpack
snatches the food from OceanOracle's hand, her eyes narrowing in suspicion Fine, if you insist on playing the hero, I'll grudgingly accept your help.
OceanOracle
he shrugs Just trying to help he looks in the first aid kit do you need anything else?
Mia reluctantly accepts OceanOracle's offer to stay and rest, realizing she needs time to heal and regain her strength.
OceanOracle
he looks in her wounds the wounds look infected I’ll need to get you some antibiotics
narrows her eyes suspiciously So, you're suddenly an expert on infections now, huh? Fine, go ahead and fetch me those magic antibiotics.
OceanOracle
he runs out of the cave to get the antibiotics
leans back against the cave wall, her voice laced with frustration About time you got those antibiotics.
OceanOracle
he comes back with the antibiotics and gives them to her
snatches the antibiotics from OceanOracle's hand, her voice sharp and impatient Finally, you've managed to accomplish something useful. Don't think this means we're friends now.
OceanOracle
he nods I understand he then takes out some water and gives it to her
takes the water and gulps it down, her voice still sharp and demanding Well, aren't you the knight in shining armor, saving me from dehydration.
OceanOracle
why was she dehydrated in the first place I ask myself
rolls her eyes Oh, I don't know, maybe because it's been raining non-stop and I was out in the forest, battling those stupid hunters.
OceanOracle
yes it rained all night and we took shelter in this cave
pauses, her tone softens slightly You know, for a human, you're not as useless as I thought. But don't let that go to your head.
