Reverse's hand was suddenly yanked from my grasp. I slowed to a stop to look at him, seeing his foot caught on our root. We locked eyes, then Reverse hit his head on the rock in front of him. I screamed. "REVERSE!" I was by his side in an instant, removing his foot from the root and lifting his head. Instincts seemed to take over as I ripped the sleeve off my jumpsuit and tied it tightly around Reverse's head to block bloodflow from his wound.

I lifted him carefully over my shoulder, carrying him back to the Nightmare Palace. I hoped that our King wasn't dead, that the intruders hadn't hurt him. I continued to haul Reverse back home.

An hour and a half later, I arrived at the Castle. I was exhausted from carrying Reverse the entire time.
He seemed to be at least a hundred pounds, so he was awfully light for his age and height. I set him down by the wall, going to the main entrance and pulling open the doors. I went back to pick up Reverse and carried him inside.

I was making my way through the halls to Reverse's room, when something flew from the shadows, tackling me. I yelped as I was knocked to the ground, Reverse being thrown from my grip. I heard the unconscious whump of his body hitting the floor as my hands were pinned above my head with one hand, a second being thrown to my neck.

Confusion raced through my head. What just happened? I wondered. the grip on my neck and wrists immediately ceased as my vision cleared. My head hurt from hitting the ground too hard, and it brought tears to my eyes.

I began to cry as Nightmare -- the one who had tackled me -- began to comfort me. "I'm sorry, I didn't know is was you, don't cry." He said. I looked at him through tired, blurry eyes. "That wasn't nice!" I whined. He grumbled. "I'm not nice..."

"You're mean!" I yelled. "Meanie butt!" Nightmare glared at me, standing and going over to grab Reverse. I got up, then went over and kicked his shin. "Ow!" Nightmare yelled. He pushed me over, then carried Reverse away. I fell on my bum.

I quickly got up, following. I was concerned for my older friend. Nightmare brought him to the infirmary and put him on a bed. I watched as the makeshift bandage was taken off and replaced with a new one after wound was cleaned.

"Go to your room." Nightmare ordered. "I'll get you when I need you." I whined. "can't I stay here with Revvie?" I pleaded. "Pleeeeeeeeeease?" Nightmare stared at me. I gave him puppy dog eyes. He sighed. "Fine." He snapped. "Don't do anything stupid, and don't mess around with things!"

I nodded happily. "Yes sir!"
