 Rik's POV:

 Nonononono

 Nononononono...... 

 Nonononono!

 Everything burning.

 I couldn't save them.

 Why do I mess up?

 Why does everything hurt. Why did that thing have to take my friends from me? 

 " Rik? "

 The others are going to die because I can't get back to them... They'll be stuck as frozen trophies for the rest of their lives.

 This.....

 " Rik!"

 This is....

 " RIK!" 

 I gasped and shot up. My whole body burned as a sharp pain shot up my side. A hand forced me back down to the warm bed that was now ruined with my blood.

 " Rik, Rik, take a deep breathe." I looked up at X as he leaned down in front of me. The admin of Hermitcraft had his purple eyes glowing as a weird energy came out of his hand. 

 I breathed as the pain started to numb in my arm, shoulder, and back. I looked over at the wall to find my metal leg, the peg leg and normal one, leaned against the wall. X looked over, " I took them out of your inventory because the metal was messing with the healing." 

  That makes sense. Well, it makes sense that someone who just had a panic attack or something along the lines of it. 

 X was still holding me down as I tried to move. The admin, despite being kind of short, was way stronger than me. Of course, I've had a lot of strength taken out of me and a lack of sleep will make you feel worse. 

 " Your stitches on your back split open Rik.... Your arm is also tearing up... Oh dear... Oh dear this isn't good... " X mumbled as he hurried over to a chest. I looked around sleepily. Mumbo, Iskall, Tango, and Netty were all still fast asleep. I'm surprised that they slept through my panicking. 

 I breathed slightly as X came back with some medical supplies. He turned me over and rubbed two thing on my wounds. A numbing agent, and some sterilization, " S-so.... Where are the other hermits?" I asked him as X sighed.

 X explained that everyone except us were offline. From what X told me, the others were all trying to get on desperately. Some were even started to cuss out the creature that trapped the five of us here and took over the others that were trapped.

 " I'm am going to start working on a portal to get us somewhere else." X sighed as I resisted the urge to flinch in pain. I silently kept listening to him. X had to cut some of my shirt to get at the wounds better.

 I didn't care honestly. My whole body was relieved that I wasn't moving or fighting for once in my life. X let out a sigh, " So, I got everything stitched back up. I think I will go ahead and use some admin magic on you, okay?" 

 X moved slightly so I could see his face, " What kind of magic?" I questioned as X cleaned his hands. The admin explained that he can heal any injury, but it takes a bit of energy to perform. He also told me that he will recover quickly, but it strains his wrists and hands.

 " Don't you have to make the portal?" I questioned him in a whisper. X sighed, " I do, but I suppose that I must ask Tango for help. I didn't want to, but I have to in order to get you up and moving again." he told me with a frown.

 I nodded slightly as X did his magic. The energy broke through the numbness and spread through me. I struggled and tried to pull myself away as a sharp pain make me bite into the pillow. X grabbed a hold of my shoulder.

 " Don't struggle or move. If I break the energy, we both will be in hell." X narrowed his eyes as he moved my head to look at me. I made a painful sound as the spike in pain continued as I let out a sigh.

 X forced me to remain still as the pain turned back to numbness that covered my whole arm up to the tip of my right hand. After a couple of minutes, the numbness was the only thing left. The only problem is that the numbness took over my whole backside as well.

 The admin placed me on my back and wrapped my arm in a warm pack. He picked me up and slipped another one under me. I stared up at him, " So..... work? I questioned as X nodded carefully, " It did... The bad news is that the corruption was actually in your arm, so I needed to numb to and do some other work.

 I let out a sigh, " Is that why I'm on this heat pad?" I questioned as X nodded, " It's magical..... It should keep your wounds close while you continue to heal. I mean, you can't move anyways, so it's fine." 

 It doesn't feel fine. My whole upper right side is hurting in ways that even I can't explain. I can barely move as is, and this, whatever the -AGH- you call it is chasing us down like wild animals. 

 " Are you okay?" I mumbled as X shook himself out. He nodded as he looked at his hands, " Yeah. You are surprisingly easier to heal than the other hermits." he chuckled as I smirked at him. 

 X stood up and smiled down at me, " Now, I'm going to get a bit more rest before I begin the portal." he sighed. I nodded as X walked back to his bed. He laid down and quickly fell asleep. I looked at him for a while until I looked up at the ceiling.

 I couldn't really do anything while everyone else was asleep, and my whole body was numb, So.... So I guess I should go back to sleep and hope for the best.
