Chereads / Beast's Love / Chapter 9 - NINE

Chapter 9 - NINE

I run through the forest, I stop and lean against a tree resting sliding down it, then hear something approach me, I look up and see the pack of wolves from the other night, I get up slowly, then look around for anything to protect me. I see a branch then bend down to grab the branch then I hit one across the face then start running. I run until something snags my cloke making me trip over the snow, I look back seeing the wolves gathering around me, I back up and grab another branch, I go to hit one of the wolves but the wolf grabbed it and snapped it. I back up as one jumps at me but gets pulled back, I look up and see the black horse I did before, with Antoine ridding it. "Get on" "why would I go back with you!" "will you get on!" "why? your so rude to me?" "I can only hold these wolves off for so long unless you want to get killed by wolves, get on!" I stand up and start to get on the horse but Antoine gets knocked off and a wolf bites down on his shoulder making him scream, the horse kicked the wolf off him then bucked the others making them wine and run into the forest, I run the towards the way I came but get stopped by the horse nudging my arm "I need to go home, I'm sorry" I turn to leave but the horse stops me "please I need to get home" he neighs and gently pulls me back, I fall in front of Antoine and see him lying there bleeding out. I sigh while taking my cloak off and wrap his shoulder up, and tried to set him up on the horse.

Côme removes Antonio's shirt as Marguerita puts a bowl of warm water mixed with a bit of alcohol mixed in it. "Here Ember" "thank you" I take the cloth dip it in the water and gently dap it on his wound. He grabs my hand glaring at me, "what are you doing?!" "I am making sure you don't get an infection" "and who's fault is that I got hurt?!" "your the one that made me leave" "you shouldn't have been in that room in the first place!" Well, I wouldn't have been in there if you haven't lost your temper!!" We started yelling at each other making me stand up almost walk out, but I sit down and cross my arms looking away from him "if you want your wound to get infected then fine" I stand up and pick up the small bowl "just make sure your not stabbing into it." I sigh and place the bowl back down and continue to gently dab the wound on his shoulder. "Will you please be gentle, that hurts!" "well it's gonna hurt, I'm cleaning it with water and alcohol" "why not just water?" "the alcohol cleans it better than just water alone, my mother taught me that" I wrap his shoulder in a bandage and let out a deep sigh as he fell asleep. "Do you need attending to Ember?" "I just have a few scratches, I was gonna take a bath then tend to them" "oh let me help you dearly!"
