I cried by Suga's body.
"Aponi, calm down." Jimin said pulling me away from his body.
J-hope said. "If you don't get yourself together we will have to put you to sleep. Please, calm down. This is not the energy we want to put out into the universe. If your going to be spreading negativity I suggest to go somewhere else."
I was shocked at how straight forward he was but it was true.
RM asked. "Tae the bed! Come on!"
Tae moved as fast as he could going through Suga bag. There was a foldable bed. He took it out and brought it.
Jin ordered. "On the count of 3 let's put him carefully on here."
Everyone nodded. "1,2,3" He said.
They put him over all their shoulders and walked. I went with them and they brought him back to the tribe.
Ina quickly came with many herbs and I questioned them. "No hospital?!" Suga was bleeding out like crazy and it wasn't stopping. It's like if they just put a bandaid over his heart and the problem would be solved. This was driving me insane.
J-hope said. "We got this."
Jimin made Suga chew willow bark for the fever, pain and inflammation. He then put a rag in Suga's mouth and nodded. They ripped his shirt and got a sharp deer bone to cut him open enough to have access to his heart and sew it up.
I didn't say anything and tried to trust the process. I watched them hold Suga down and rip the arrow out of his heart. I put my hand over my mouth and looked away. I wiped my tears and tried to calm down. I felt like a piece of me was getting ripped out. I thought I would faint but I tried to stay there a little longer. Ina brought some acacia awns to help close the wound and a towel with a bowl of water for his forehead. Suga was sweating bullets from all the force he was using.
RM ordered me. "Let me see a piece of your hair."
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion but I cut a long piece of my hair and gave it to him.
"Here that should be enough to sew up the wound." He informed Jin.
My mouth dropped and I couldn't take them seriously.
"8 knots don't forget." J-hope reminded him.
Ina took out some sage and cleansed the area. When I looked out of the small tent there were a lot of people outside having a ceremony. They were all dancing to the drums and singing. They were chanting for Suga's well being. She then gave Jin some mashed yarrow leaves with water and applied them to his wounds to stop the bleeding. I really couldn't stay there anymore. I walked out and walked a few feet away. I need some fresh air the blood in that tent was to strong.
After, maybe 30 minutes they came out and saw how they were covered in blood. I looked away and cried. I hate this so much. I didn't want him in pain. Suga didn't deserve this. I felt so much guilt.
"Can you stop please?" Jimin asked.
"I-i can't." I stuttered.
Jimin sighed. "Your crying will affect our tribes ceremony."
I looked at the people and then away. I slowly collected myself and turned to look back at the members.
Tae sighed and said "He's alive but he's a vampire after all. Vampire's don't like silver in their bodies."
RM smacked his lips. "Jungkook hit the intersection of the artery that's connected to the heart."
"And his shoulder!" Tae added.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
RM said. "His shoulder is fine compared to the real target."
Jin said. "He didn't just hit part of his heart but he hit an artery. It was more towards the artery which is good but it was an intersection. We'll just have to see as the days go by."
"Days?" I asked concerned.
They nodded.
"Can't we just take him to the hos-"
"Aponi, our tribe doesn't believe in their medicine that kills people. We are the medicine and cure to your pains. Our herbs do no harm they cure slowly but surely. Please, trust the process and be patient." J-hope informed me before leaving.
Jimin sighed and informed me. "This will take awhile..."
"But he heals really fast!" I quickly said.
Jin sighed and said. "Aponi, Suga is not going to heal using his vampire powers. He will heal by using our powers and we heal way slower because it's natural."
RM said. "He can't use his vampire powers because the silver affects vampires not wolves. If he were to use them he would die immediately. He can't tap into his powers until he's completely healed.
A few hours went by and I went in to just see him. He didn't have no fever and he just laid there on the ground. They had wrapped him up real good that I couldn't see his chest or shoulder. I got really sad and walked out.
"I'll take you home so you can shower and rest." Jimin said.
"How soon will he wake up?" I asked.
Jimin sighed and said. "I won't lie to you but I don't think he'll wake up anytime soon..."
That crushed my heart and I accepted for him to take me home. It was about 2 hours away.
"No car?" I asked looking at him.
"We don't do that. We walk or turn into wolves. It's faster and safer. Don't worry." I was surprised when he said that.
"But-" I didn't get to finish my sentence when he said. "He's different and special. He can do that."
I nodded my head because it was true. Suga didn't live with the tribe he was on his own and just living differently. I got on Jimin as he turned into a wolf and I left with him.
"Call Suga's dad if you need anything that way I can be informed." Jimin informed me.
"You're leaving?" I asked.
He nodded his head. "You're safe now. We took care of Jungkook's body. He or his people are all gone."
"Don't you have a phone?" I asked examining his body.
"We don't really use technology."
"How do you guys call each other then?"
"We use the Kickapoo whistle speech or we howl. It's another language but just whistling not using words. He smiled as he said.
"I don't know what that is." I looked at him confused.
"I know I can tell by your face expression." He laughed. "I'll show you." He put his left hand in a form of a C on the side of his mouth. The other hand he bent his index finger and put it in his mouth. With that he whistled really loud and I covered my ears.
"You can use the index or middle finger to whistle but it's a language. We all use it to communicate but if your a human it works as far as 7 kilometers which is around 4.35 miles. For us wolfs doesn't matter we can hear each other more in the mountains."
"Wow. That's really impressive. What did you just say?" I asked really amazed.
"I asked the guys if Suga has woken up but they said no." He said looking at me.
"Oh." I said reminding me of everything.
I was left alone. I felt a little sad but he wasn't dead though. I couldn't help but feel like he was though. Jimin came the next day and he took me back to the tribe. I saw Ina placing primrose plant for bruises and wounds on Suga chest. They were changing him and making sure he was making progress.
A few days went by and I just stayed with Suga in the tent. I was so isolated from the world that I didn't really speak to anybody. I was feeling so hopeless. I feel like the tribe was praying for the both of us now. I got a call and answered.
"Is this Aponi?"
"Yes?"
"Hello, we just wanted to inform you that all the glass in the home has been replaced and you are free to move back in whenever you would like. We also wanted to inform you that all the vases for the exhibition were moved into the office from the other room. Since, it was a mess. I don't know if you would like us to move them back or leave them there?"
"No, just leave them there. I don't want there to be an accident."
"Okay, our records show that you don't owe nothing. Thank you so much for your services."
"No, thank you."
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and looked at Suga.
"What exhibition? Is that what you were doing for all those days locked up?" I questioned him but he didn't answer.
