"this is to get you back to the house." nat muttered softly moving his little bubble with a wave of her hand. she didn't want to move him too much but this would help get him to the house where he can rest. glancing back at the clearing, she called the rest of the blood to her and it helped bring back linx.
. with each step she took, the female grew even more and more tired. the blood was coming off of her carrying bubble for linx and she strained to keep it together. some of the blood moved and opened the door for them. nat stumbled up the stairs and practically fell on the ground as she got into the house. her grip tightened on the blade and a sudden burst of energy shot through her. damn this blade really did wonders for her. the female led her bubble of linx up the stairs and to his bed. ever so carefully she placed him on the bed and pulled the blood into both her and the sword. as she turned away from the bed, she slipped on something. what in gods name happened to her hair. what in the world happened to her to begin with. shaking her head, she grabbed some medical supplies and began attending to his wounds. with careful hands, she wrapped his wounds and made sure everything was completely covered. no need to let him bleed out while she rested as well.
. once she was completely sure that he was good, the female left his room and stumbled into the bathroom. she looked like absolute shit. scratches littered her face and body. not to mention her hair was dragging on the floor. using the blade she cut her hair back to it's proper length. what had happened back there? what was with that form? what was going on? tears streamed down her face but they were scarlet tears. "this isn't right." she whispered to no one. this was all so terrifying and there was no way she could figure all of this out right now. maybe aroich could help her once they healed up. stumbling back into the living room, the female fell onto the couch. she felt so weak and drained. nothing wanted to work anymore and she just couldn't keep herself awake. the blade in her hand dropped to the ground with a loud clatter as she passed out for what seemed like the seventh time in the passed couple of days.

For several days, Linx lay in his comatose state. He neither moved nor seemed to breathe. His strength had been slowly returning however, and Arioch worked hard to restore their body. On the dawn of the eigth day, Linx awoke in his own bed, body still aching massively as he struggled to rise out of bed. He growls in frustration as he finds himself unable to move and silently he seeks counsel with Arioch. "Arioch, what has happened while I've been out?" he questions silently, awaiting the quiet reply of his friend. However, despite his beliefs that Arioch would respond, his closest friend remained silent. This, more than anything, disturbed the young man.
With another herculean effort, he forces his legs over the edge of his bed, using the momentum to swing himself up into a sitting position. His chest heaves as he tries to bring in the air needed to keep moving, and after a few moments, he forces himself to his feet. He sways momentarily, almost losing consciousness, placing a hand against the wall to steady himself. He grits his teeth as he shuffles to the landing to take him downstairs where he knew Nat must be. He used his concern for her as his drive and focus, slowly placing one foot before the other.
Before long, he reached the top of the stairs, and lost his control. He pitched head first down the flight, curling defensively as he bounced and slammed into the ground, choking back a cry of pain. He lifts himself to his elbows, breath coming out in short angry puffs as he crawls to the couch, fighting to maintain his focus every inch. As he reaches her, he gives another massive effort, raising himself to a sitting position, leaning against the couch, resting his head on her chest, slipping his hand into hers and squeezing gently. She seemed ok, and that brought him tremendous relief. He huffs in a few extra breaths before speaking. "I'm glad....that....you're ok." he manages to speak, before falling silent once more, struggling to hold back the pain, and the blackness of unconsciousness once more.

"oh god linx! are you ok? you should be resting."
. the female swung her legs over the side of the couch but stopped moving when she got dizzy. something washed over her and it was like her balance was off. she tried to move her hand but it was tangled in something and upon examination the female found out it was hair. oh for christ's sake! was her hair really going to be this long all the time? "I'm so glad you are ok. I thought I had lost you." muttering softly, she slid off the couch as scarlet tears ran down her cheeks. nat moved off the couch and next to linx, trying to be careful. placing a hand on his shoulder, she pulled back suddenly shocked. his energy was really low and she could feel hers trying to pour into him. what in the fuck was going on? shaking her head, the female pushed the thoughts to the side. right now she needed to make sure linx was taken care of.
. "linx come on let's get you back upstairs." moving slowly, nat helped him up. she gave him a bit of energy too in hopes that it would help him heal faster. she was really surprised he had even made it downstairs. once she had helped him back upstairs, she sat on the edge of the bed. how did this even happen? why was linx laying half dead on his bed? "look I'm right here just don't die on me or I'll kick your ass." the female joked as she laced her fingers with his. she let a steady stream of energy flow into him. fingers running through her hair, she sighed. why the hell was it so freaking long? "are you gonna tell me what happened back there? why you were near death when I found you?" nat gave him a small smile again trying to lighten the mood. ok so she wanted to wait to ask but she was dyin to know.

He forces a smile to her as she immediately goes into a concerned mode, taking her help reluctantly. He could feel her trying to feed him energy, but it seemed to not have any effect. Once he was back in his bed, he allows her to lace her fingers in his as he places his head in her lap, needing the comfort of being with her. In truth, he was terrified, but he didn't know where to begin explaining things to her. For the first time in his life, Arioch was silent. He couldn't feel the touch that Arioch's consciousness placed on his own, and he didn't know what to do. He didn't care that he was hovering on the very edge of death, he was concerned for his oldest and truest friend.
He turns to lay on his back, staring up at Nat with a light smile. "You couldn't kick my ass if you tried love." he says in a voice barely above a whisper. "As for what happened, that's a long story. It deals mostly with Arioch. When the demon known as the Morrigan took over, Arioch turned his back fully on his people, casting the spell that brought him within me at my birth. Even before then, he'd been different and an outcast, albeit one of the most powerful demons out there. The man you met, Nicodemus, he's been hunting Arioch ever since he fled to claim his power for his own. I awoke in the night, feeling the demons closing in and led them away from here. Away from you." he says quietly. He shuts his eyes as he fights for breath, most of his energy still gone. What little he'd regained from his comatose rest was quickly fading.
"I fought as best I could, but Nicodemus had too many of his shades with him. He caught up to me, pummeled me pretty good, and ripped out my ribs. Sadistic bastard." he says softly, the pain involved in the memories almost making him black out. Almost. He inhales deeply, breathing in the scent of the woman he loved, and with it a measure of peace and happiness. A soft smile plays along his lips as he tilts to rest his face against her stomach, tired beyond words. "You came in just as he was going to tear my heart from my chest. I wish you hadn't. Now he knows about you, and I don't want you hurt because of me." he mumbles softly, fingers tightening instinctively around hers as he curled around her, fading into silence as his body demanded further rest.

"I can almost assure you that I can kick your ass now." the female laughed softly as she brushed his hair out of his face. he looked so fragile on the bed and she didn't want to squeeze his hand too har for fear he would break. "I love you linx and I appreciate you trying to keep him away from me, but I'll be fine. Something is different now and I don't think I could live with out you now." the last part sort of trailed off as she brushed her fingers along his hair.
. nat did nothing as he curled around her. he needed to rest and she would do anything to make sure he got better. for fuck's sake he was missing ribs. no wonder he was so tired. being careful not to hurt him too much nat moved so she was laying down on the bed. "rest up linx. I'll stay here. I promise I am not going anywhere." the female smiled as she held him close. he was so weak and it broke her heart. was there anything that she could do? as linx slept, the female stared up at the open sky. so many questions and so little answers why were there so many things that had happened? would that guy come back? maybe she needed to learn about whatever this whole thing was. sighing, the female slipped her hand from linx's and braided her hair. at least it wouldn't be so long that way. once she was finished she let herself fall asleep as well.
. she felt drained, emotionally and physically. it was like being awake again for that short time had taken such a toll on her. not to mention she was down a lot of blood. images of the battle flashed through her mind and she winced a bit. there was so much blood. what had she done? it was only snippets and pictures, nothing was completely whole. a sharp pain started in her head and she rolled over. nat wrapped her arms around linx and held him tight. she had been so scared. when she saw linx on the ground, her heart had stopped. now she never wanted to let him go for fear she might not get him back. kissing his forehead, nat fell asleep. she tangled herself around him and kept him close as she drifted off to sleep finally.
