Chapter 16: My Home

A/N 

(Y/N) Your Name


Everyone had gotten back home, (Y/N) had to ride on Blue Eyes' horse because of her wing. They reached the main part of the village and hopped off the horses. Suddenly, a female ape came running down from Caesar's tree. She waved her arms and hooted loudly, asking for Caesar to come up to the tree at once. 

Caesar, Blue Eyes and (Y/N) went up first. They found Cornelia surrounded by 3 females apes, tending to her. She looked really sick. Caesar went over to her and held her head. "Help (Y/N) as well." He signed to the 'nurses'. 

"No. I don't need help, trust me. Focus on Cornelia, please." She begged them. The apes reluctantly obeyed and went back to Cornelia. 

"Please, please. I just need to speak to him." They heard a male voice come up the tree steps. Caesar took his attention off Cornelia but kept staring at her. His face held an irritated and angry tone. Blue Eyes sat on the other side of his mother with his baby brother in his arms. (Y/N) sat near Cornelia's head with her wings held up, semi-wrapped around Cornelia, protecting her. Her eyes beaming red. (Y/N) and Blue Eyes looked at the entrance and found Malcolm and Ellie. "I'm sorry." Malcolm said. "That was all my fault but I will make him leave-" 

"This... my home." Caesar stated harshly. "You should not be here." 

"I understand-" Malcolm nodded. 

"Malcolm." Ellie stopped him when she noticed Cornelia in her distressed state. 

"She's sick." Malcolm acknowledged. All the apes looked up. 

"How long has she been this way?" Ellie asked. Caesar slowly turned around and faced her. "I have medicine. Antibiotics." 

"Maybe she can help." Malcolm added. Caesar turned to him. 

"Do...not...trust you." He faced back to his wife. 

"I don't blame you." Malcolm admitted. "But believe me, we are not all like him." 

"Please. Let us help you." Ellie said. Caesar looked at (Y/N), wondering what she thought about their offer. 

"Carver was an asshole and the humans are untrustworthy. But your wife is really sick. It's your call, I'll support whatever you chose." She signed to him. Caesar faced back to the humans. Ellie put her bag down slowly and stepped closer to the apes while (Y/N) cautiously removed her wings from around Cornelia. 

"One day." Caesar said. They all froze. "You stay... one day." 

"Father, no..!" Blue Eyes intervened. 

"We might need a little more time-" 

"ONE DAY!" They froze again. "Ape will help." Caesar faced back to where is wife was lying. 

"I will not help." Blue Eyes signed angrily. Caesar looked at his son blankly. They stared each other down. 

---------------------------------------------------

"This is bullshit man!" Carver yelled. 

"Get him out of here." Malcolm said. 

"Move! That's enough. Come on, get out of here." A man said as he pushed Carver out of the humans small temporary camp. Once they were gone, Malcolm turned around and faced Caesar and the others. 

"Okay?" Malcolm asked. 

Back at the Apes Home

Koba and two other apes came in and jumped off their horses. Koba ran over to Blue Eyes and signed, "Just came from the city. Humans very dangerous! Where is Caesar?

Blue Eyes stopped what he was doing and signed slowly, "With the humans.
