Chapter 15
Third Person P.O.V
Sky moves his his arm slightly but pain stops him. He groans a little. Amber looks up a little.
"Sky. Don't push yourself." Amber said as she rubs a cold wet towel on his forehead. His fever is still alive and so is the curse. It went down a bit and isn't on his face anymore. But is on his arm and chest. Sky looks at Amber.
"You don't h-have to waste your time h-here." Sky said wearily. Amber stops for a bit. She moves closer to Sky. She is on a chair next to his bed. She rubs the towel on his neck.
"I'm not wasting my time. I want you to get better. Get back to the Sky I know and lo-like." Amber said. Amber holds his hand stilling rubbing the towel against his neck with her other hand. "Besides, I like spending time with you. Even if your sick. I will take care of you." Sky smiles a bit but then coughs a few times. "Go back to sleep. You need your strength." Sky looks at Amber for a second. He squeezes her hand making her smile and blush a little. He closes his eyes and drifts off after a while. Alex comes in with her hands in her pockets. "How bad is Seto?"
"He will be fine. He needs a few days of rest to gather his strength back. How's Sky?" Alex asks. Amber smiles.
"His fever is lower and the curse seceded a lot. It's not on his face or neck but on his one arm and chest." Amber said. Alex smiles.
"That's good. Told you he will be fine after a while." Alex said. Amber loses her smile.
"But still Alex, he seems so weak still."
Amber said. Alex puts her hand on Amber's shoulder.
"Amber this is taking a heavy toll on Sky. A heavy one. He is gonna be weak from the curse being active and having a fever at the same time. I don't expect for him to be running around the day after this is over. I expect for him to be in bed for a day or two." Alex said.
"I guess your right." Amber said. She feels the towel getting warm. She dips it in a bucket of cold water next to her. Alex looks at it.
"Your taking good care of him Amber. It because of you Sky will get back on his feet soon and give those demons a lesson they won't forget." Alex said smiling. Amber smiles.
"After Kitty I expected for him to be so much more close off. What happened with Alesa...he looked crushed." Amber said wiping the towel against the side of Sky's face. Alex puts her hands in her coat pockets.
"He was completely crushed about Kitty. He told me himself about how he felt cause he just broke down in front of me. But he seems to be comfortable around you Amber. Unlike when he was around Kitty. He always seem tense. Alesa...she brings nothing but trouble." Alex said. Amber looks at Alex.
"Really?" She asks.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that he seems to be more relaxed when your around him. That's good Amber. Alesa and Kitty were those terrible x-girlfriends you don't want to know about from your boyfriend." Alex said. Amber looks at Alex for a few seconds and then at Sky.
"We're not a thing Alex." Amber said. Alex smiles.
"Then why you holding his hand?" Alex asks. Amber holds his hand tighter.
"No reason." Amber said quietly.
"You two are gonna happen. I can see it." Alex said walking away. Amber stands up and kisses Sky's cheek. She sits back down.
"Love you Sky." Amber said quietly. Sky's chest rises and falls making Amber smile a little. "At least you don't have trouble breathing anymore." Amber moves Sky's shirt to see his chest. It went down a lot and is just on his shoulder and arm. Amber smiles big. "O my god yes." She looks at his face. "Now if only your fever would disappear." The door opens and the doctor comes in. He stops next to Amber.
"How is he?" Doctor asks. Amber likes that the hospital at the base know all about Sky's curse and how to handle it due to Seto's advice
"His fever is lower then usually. But the curse is now just on his shoulder and arm. That's it." Amber said. The doctor smiles.
"That's great. Here let me check on his fever." They said going around Amber and puts the back of his hand on Sky's forehead. "He barely has it but it is disappearing."
"At the hospital, what did you mean by the fever hits Sky like the plague?" Amber asks. The doctor stands up straight.
"Maybe plague wasn't the best example. I mean whenever Sky gets a fever, it hits him hard. He gets sick for a few days and then completely fine. He gets a fever a lot actually. Well it's good cause then we know that he is sleeping and eating. Someone like you is taking good care of him since we can't always be here. I'm gonna tell the recruits Sky is getting better cause they are worried about Sky." The doctor said. Amber smiles again. Sky opens his eyes and looks at Amber. He sits up surprising Amber. She stands up. The doctor looks at Sky.
"You couldn't even sit up by yourself last time." Amber said. Sky smiles a little.
"That's good right?" Sky asks. Amber nods.
"Yeah." The doctor said.
"You couldn't walk ever." Amber said. Sky looks at his bad arm.
"I couldn't feel my cursed arm at all. The feeling in it is coming back." Sky said. Amber smiles.
"I want to see if you can walk." The Doctor said. Sky gets off the bed. "Alright. Walk to the door and back." Sky does it and the doctor smiles. "Your fever is basically gone Sky. If your okay then I say you can get back to work." Amber looks at Sky.
"His arm still has the curse on it." Amber said.
"Seto said that Sky should be fine as long as it isn't on his face. If it is then he should rest till it goes down. It is up to you Sky if you want to work or not." Doctor said. Sky looks at Amber and then the Doctor.
"I'm tired of doing nothing so yeah I'm gonna help." Sky said.
"Alright. But if your feeling sick then I want you back in that bed no exceptions. We are not making the same mistake twice with you." Doctor said.
"What?" Amber asks.
"When Sky had a fever for a few days and 'got better' he went back to work. That was a huge mistake. He got way worst after two days and it almost killed him." Doctor said. Sky crosses his arms.
"To be completely fair that was when James was controlling Seto. So it wasn't my fault." Sky said.
"Right, yeah. Let's go with that. Amber tell me if his fever gets worst cause we will drag him into that bed if we have to." Doctor said. He leaves.
"Now I get why he was always one to take care of me. Then the other doctors." Sky said.
"Why?" Amber asks.
"Cause he is very assertive with me. Unlike the other ones. I can walk all over them expect for him." Sky said. Amber smiles. Sky puts on his shoes.
"You can be a handful when you are hurt Sky. Don't want to listen to what the doctors say. I'm sure you would do it the redneck way and slap a piece of tape over a wound and call it good. (A/N before you say anything. Consider this..I live in the land of rednecks. I have seen them do this before many times)" Amber said.
"I never thought of that before. It would consider how serious the wound is." Sky said.
"Sky.." Amber said smiling.
"Imagine putting a piece of duct tape on a arrow wound and taking it off. That would hurt." Sky said. Amber pushes Sky's shoulder a little chuckling.
"Your just ridiculous." Amber said. Sky smiles and then loses it.
"Alright so..I know bad stuff been happening. Want to update me?" Sky asks looking at the ground. Amber loses her smiles.
"Um...yeah..sure." Amber said. She looks at him for a second. "Um Jerome and CJ died. Mitch seems to finally be focused. Seto was bit by a Jabbit and poisoned. But he is okay now. He just needs some rest. Jason is mute and missing. Ghost is missing. Ty's alive..oh shoot." Sky looks at her.
"Wait Ty is alive?" Sky asks. Amber takes a step back from him nervous.
"Um..it slipped out." Amber said quietly. Sky puts his hand on her arms.
"Amber." Sky said.
"Yes. Ghost told me not to tell anyone. I wasn't gonna say anything." Amber said. He takes his hands off of her.
"He's alive and you weren't gonna say anything to anyone?" Sky asks.
"Don't hate me Sky. She gave a good reason not to say a word." Amber said.
"Just like when he died you guys were gonna say nothing to me so I was useful to you." Sky said.
"It wasn't like that Sky!" Amber said. "I wanted to tell you. We all did. But we knew you would find out the truth all by yourself."
"Finding out something yourself is worst, Amber. A friend telling you is better cause you know you can trust them." Sky said.
"Ghost doesn't want you guys to get involved with Ty!" Amber said. "She thinks you will just kill him Sky."
"W-What? Kill Ty? Are you serious?" Sky asks. Amber nods. "Have I sunk that low to make you guys think I will just kill one of you?"
"No." Amber said.
"I would never hurt or kill anyone who didn't deserve it. Killing is still hard for me Amber. It will always be hard for me and killing Ty will basically be killing myself." Sky said. Amber's expression softens little. Sky grabs his coat and sword. "Seriously Amber. Has everyone loss confidence in me that they think I will just kill anyone who makes me mad."
"You killed Herobrine and Dylan." Amber said. Sky looks hurt at her and he looks away from her.
"Wow. Can't believe you went there. Yeah but thanks. Thanks for reminding me I'm the only one left in my family." Sky sad as he walks pass Amber.
"Sky wait." Amber said. Sky stops and turns around. He looks at Amber.
"What?" Sky snapped. Amber flinches a little. "So all of it was an act?" Amber looks at him.
"What was?" Amber asks.
"I know when someone is afraid of me. If all of that was just an act, liking me. You did a fantastic job." Sky said. Amber takes a few steps towards him.
"No. No. No. I didn't act anyt-"
"Yeah right." Sky said stopping Amber. Amber notices Sky's eyes looking glossy.
'Oh no. I think I hurt his feelings. This went downhill so fast.' She thinks to herself.
"Just when I thought you were different. Guess I was right. I'm just an accident waiting to happen." Sky said. He leaves and Amber runs to the door. She grabs the handle but doesn't do anything. She feels tears form in her eyes.
"Ghost, you bastard. What the hell?" She said quietly.
