Previously on my little mage...

She continued to do so until we reached the house. We did our nightly routine and went to our separate rooms. I was about to fall asleep until...

"AHHHHHH!"

~~~~~

"AHHHHHH!"

I shot up hearing Y/n scream. I ran to her room and saw a man holding her up to the wall by the neck. My eyes widened at the sight.

"Hey! Let her go!" I demanded. He then took out a gun and pointed at me. My eyes widened. I tried to dash but I reacted too late. He fired a bullet and successfully hit me at the side of my stomach.

Being hit within the duration of my dash caused me to mess up and hit the  wall. I held the side of my stomach where the wound was. I tried moving but it would just cause pain.

I looked at Y/n. Her tears were streaming down from her eyes. I knew that I hate seeing her like this. I tried getting up, no matter how much pain it caused.

I slowly got up. I could tell Y/n can't handle being chocked any longer. I casted my first skill, causing the stranger to drop Y/n due to the pain. Y/n fell to the ground and gasped for air. I tried keeping my composure, considering I am currently losing a lot of blood.

The masked man got up and pointed his gun at me. I dashed the moment he fired but he still somehow hit me in the leg. This is bad. The man walked closer to me and aimed the gun at me. I closed my eyes, ready to accept my death.

"Go to hell"

A gunshot was heard but I felt no pain. I opened my eyes to see that Y/n moved the dude's hand, allowing him to miss. "You bitch! You ruined my plan!"

*Bang*

Another gun shot was heard. Y/n's eyes widened. She tried moving but was unsuccessful. The man successfully shot her in the chest. My eyes widened as she fell to the ground holding her chest.

The man walked closer to her and lifted her head. "A little bitch like you should go to hell". He aimed his gun at her forehead. I tried, I tried to move. I mustered up all the energy I had left, just to try to move. I can't let him kill her.

Then, her light purple eyes turned dark. A dark aura surrounded her as her eyes started to glow. "What the hell?!". The man was then knocked back into the wall next to me.

My eyes widened at what she just did. I didn't know she could do more spells than what she has in her skill set. I saw her slowly moving towards me.

"You okay?" She asked "yeah, we need to get help..." I said in a low voice. "You're losing a lot of blood right now..." "And you are too..." I said. She sighed. She lifted her hand slightly. It produced a white light as she did that. I felt most of the pain go away. I looked at my foot where the wound used to be.

I looked at my other wound and saw it was slowly healing.

*Thump*

Y/n's hand fell to the ground as she too had collapsed. I moved to her. I lifted her head up and placed it on my lap. "No... Nononononono, no! What am I gonna do?!" I panicked. Tears were threatening to fall. I took my phone out and dialed Miya.

"Harith? Why are you calling this late at night?"
"Get over here with Estes quickly! There's no time to explain!"

I hung up after saying that. "Hold on... Help is on the way..." I said, tears streaming down from my eyes. Not a moment later, Miya barged in with Estes.

"What happened?!" Miya exclaimed "Estes! Heal her now! Please! Miya! Keep watch on him in case he wakes up!" I ordered. They nodded and did as I said.

Estes started healing Y/n as Miya kept her bow aimed at the dude.

~~~~~~~
It's been days since the incident. I am slowly healing but I'm still in pain. Harley and Lesley would drop by to visit. Estes, Miya and Nana would drop by to see if I was getting better.

Harith would always be by my side, ready to help me since Estes told me not to move around a lot. As of now, Estes had just left the room. Harith walked back in and sat on a chair beside my bed.

"Harith..."
"Yes?"
"Why aren't they afraid? Why aren't they afraid like how they're afraid of you?"
"I... I don't know... Maybe they're trying to take advantage of you being weak in defense... It also may be because of the fact that you're a girl, they like taking advantage of those types of things..."

I sighed. I can't believe it. I was nearing death in my first few days here... At least... At least I saved Harith from bleeding to death. But, I still see bandages wrapped around the wound on the side of his stomach.

I wasn't able to completely heal it...
I too had bandages around my wound... I guess Estes wasn't able to heal it fully...

"Do you need anything?" Harith asked me. "Can you hey me a glass of water?" I asked. He nodded and stood up slowly. I could tell he's still hurting. That wound isn't fully healed. And here he is, walking around the house just to help me.

"Here" "thanks" I said before taking a sip. "Harith, do you want me to fully heal your wound?" I asked "no need. I'm perfectly fine. Plus, you need to conserve your energy" he said

I frowned at his answer. He's putting me before himself again. He's more concerned about me rather than himself. A sigh had escaped my lips.

As I was about to respond, Harley walked in to the room. "Hey sis, feeling any better?" He asked "I guess, it still hurts though..." I said

"Did Harith do anything to you?" He asked again "nothing but helping me. He's been asking me if I needed anything and would get it, even if he half is injured" I stated

"You know why I do that?" Harith asked "no, why?" "Cause I care for you. The only reason why I was able to get up from when I was shot was you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to move. It's just that... I saw you crying... Deep down, I know that I hate seeing you cry..."

I was speechless at his remark.

"Harith..."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you..."

He looked down at me and smiled. "You're welcome..." He said.
