Iwas shaken from to side to side gently I groaned as I was shakenagain I winced in pain my body tensing

"comeon little one" said the familiar yet annoying voice of Rikard"wake up"

"Idon't want to" I growled I heard him sighed

"youhave to eat something"

"I'mnot hungry" I grumbled

"liar"he said quietly "your last meal was yesterday"

myeye lids fluttered open as I stared up at him as he sat down next tome grabbing my shoulders and gently pulling me into a sittingposition I lulled to the side laying my head on his shoulder

"fivemore minutes?" I asked

hisbody stiffened an he didn't move me for a long amount of time beforehe slowly pushed me up with shaky hands I opened my eyes sighing Isat up straight as he held a spoon out to me

"openup" he told me as if I were a child causing me too frown and turnmy head away avoiding the spoon where ever possible

"yournot feeding me" I told him as I evaded it once again he raised aneyebrow

"justdo it" he told me

andI sighed sitting up slowly wincing I sat up opening my mouth butclosed it again he sighed placing the spoon back in the bowl

"whyare you doing this?" I asked

"well"he said "two reasons one I don't really think your able to do thisyour self without spilling it down your body and two every one elseis too drunk"

"goodpoint" I said

takingthe spoon in my mouth and pulled it out of his hands he frowned and Ismiled

afterwhat felt like a thousand tries of Rikardunsuccessfully trying to feed me he gave up leaving my to feed myselfand I quickly found myself unable almost spilling the entire thingdown myself I looked to the direction Rikardhad walked in only to found him out of site

"Iput this on myself" I thought

settingthe bowl down beside me I laid back down again closing my eyes andfalling asleep

Iopened my eyes feeling dizzy and sore my side shot pain throughout mybody and my stomach growled I groaned

"Itold you, you should have eaten something"

myeyes widened as I saw none other than Rikardsitting next to me I tried to sit up but the pain was just too much

"onething" I said weakly "how the hell is eating going to stop allthis pain" I winced squeezing my eyes shut as I curled up on theground

"thepain will stop" he told me "as the wounds heal" I smirked

"notif I die of blood loss first" I said "I'm still bleeding youknow" I felt drowsy

"justgo back to sleep little one" I heard him whisper as I drifted offagain

Ilooked up to see that every one was already getting up to repair theship I sat there for a few seconds pulling the blanket around me myhead throbbed I felt someone behind me and they touched my shoulderalerting me to their prescence I looked up to see Gallentwho sat down next to me his fingers touching the back of my headgently as he directioned my head forwards

"holdstill" he told me

heparted my hair away from the wound I winced as he pressed it

"ow"I breathed

"that'sa nasty cut little one" he told me

"whyare you touching it" I asked trying to move away as I feltsomething wet swipe over the surface of my wound

"i'mcleaning it" he said

gentlydabbing it I bit my lips as he cleared away the blood my headthrobbed and my eyes blurred and dots appeared in my vision as hegently placed what felt like a patch on the wound before I blackedout

Gallentspov-

Iplaced the patch on the back of her head just as her body collapsedinto me and I sighed she fainted again so I went ahead and gentlycleaned the wound on her side which was swollen and looked painful itwasn't deep and didn't strike anything important. I laid her backonto her side resting her head on the cusion I brought with me as Ipulled the blanket over her shoulders brushing her hair out of herface as she slept her mouth lulled open as she took in quiet breathsI smiled she's so pure so innocent what was Rikardthinking bringing her into this but I knew the reason to over takenwith latria to know what he was doing
