Chapter 7
Sorrows's POV
I put my feet carefully among the little holes that somehow weren't covered with brambles. Something big and red caught my eye. Forest strawberries. I smiled. Once me and Jerome found them and he told me how rare they were and how much he loves them. The thought of how happy he'll be when I show them to him made me happy as well. My hand reached foward to pick the berries up. Thorn scratched my skin but I didn't mind it. I looked proudly at the big red berries in my hand. There were plenty of them. If Jerome catches something we'll have a real meal in a long time. "SORROWS!" By the tone of his voice I knew something was serious. He sounded shocked, terrified, in need of help. I dashed in the direction of his voice. I dropped the strawberries but that wasn't important right now. Jerome needed help.
I stopped at a clearing. Jerome sat that, next to a body. I was glad that he wasn't in danger but something was wrong. I quickly walked to him. "What is it?" I asked worried. He looked at the body. It was a girl. A young one. She looked as if she was sleeping which she sort of was. "I know she's not a villain. You'd never find a villain like this," he explained. Her slow breathing was also telling me she wasn't dead. Besides, nobody dies here, not villains,not people. People become villains. "Villains also aren't hurt," I lifted the shirt on her back a little, revealing what looked like toxic burns. "I didn't see that," Jerome admired,slightly surprised. Then he picked her up. Her body was numb. "I'll take her to our hideout, do you think you'll be capable of finding the herbs on your own?" He asked me. "Of course but,what if she turns to a villain?" Jerome looked at the girl again, he seemed to be thinking. "I think I'll survive," he said. I quickly nodded and went off to find the herbs Jerome needed.
Jerome knew about some herbs that grow around here, but not as much as me. We had some lessons in school once about herbs and their uses,I really appreciate that I remembered so much. She probably needed something to relax, whiteberries would do. They were bitter but they really helped with calming down. One night, we saw WitherMU and Skybrine. Jerome was in such shock after that I had to feed him whiteberries for a few hours. I never understood what Jerome saw on WitherMU and Skybrine however, he was a real expert when it came to villains. It was dark and the white berries were small but I still found them. The next thing I needed were snakeleaves. They had a shape of little snakes and were pretty damn cute. I saw them oftenly around here but they were pretty much useless. However, they were great for healing this girl's injuries. It didn't take me long to find them. I put the herbs in my pocket and started going back towards the big tree, our home was right next to it.
One after one, I put my hands and feet on branches and bulges,climbing up. Jerome was relieved to see me. That wasn't a surprise,you're happy to see anybody alive around here,as long as it isn't a villain. I quickly greeted him and kneeled next to the girl. She was still breathing soundly. I put the leaves on her injuries which seemed to be all over her back, some even on her waist. I sensed that Jerome was carefully watching me. "Trying to learn from the master?" I joked. He chuckled. "No,I just..I'm waiting for you to finish..I got you something," he admitted. That got me really curious. I was glad I was almost done. I placed the last few leaves on their places and looked at him. "What is it?" He took out a leather bag, it wasn't big and it wasn't too small. He's been carrying such a bag around with him since the day I met him. My looked way newer. "I made you this from the rabbit we had last night...thought you might find it useful," he said. "Well I could really use it earlier. I had a bunch of strawberries but I dropped them when you called me," I said. "Now I regret making you this," Jerome faked a frown and crossed his arms. I laughed quietly. "But seriously,thank you."
It was day now. The days lasted only for a couple of hours, Jerome was out,hunting. I stayed with the girl. I noticed that she was slowly waking up so I paid more attention to her. She opened her eyes, they were hazel. "Do you know who you are,what happened?" I asked her slowly. She looked calm, a bit confused but not in a shock. "My name is Olivia,I know Tyler attacked me but...where am I?" her head spun from left to right. "Depends on where you mean....this forest? I'm not sure myself. But you are in mine and Jerome's home." The girl looked me straight in the eyes. "JEROME?!" she repeated surprised. Very surprised. I chuckled. "I'm Sorrows. Welcome to the team."
