I just need to finnish my homeworkkskksksk

KK

(oof)

(okay lol sorry I had more hw than I realized :/)

Sundial leaned into Plume, letting him support her weight. She breathed in his familiar scent, comforting her. The pocket watch was tight around her throat, making it hard to breathe. The smoke and humidity was not helping. "What do you want?" She choked, her voice trembling. Her fur was bristling.

Death sneered down at the pair. Sundial trembled under his intense glare, her wings clamped tightly to her sides. Death's voice was cold and terrifying, barely a whisper as he hissed, "You know why. You didnt prove yourself innocent, so I will torture your little pal there and make you watch. Then we'll switch!" He smiled malevolently, his skull for a face twisted.

Death waved his paw, his long claws catching the fire light, and an unseen force shoved Plume away from her, and Sundial swayed to the side. She came crashing to the warm, stoney floor, and watched, frozen in her terror.

"Plume!" Sundial screamed, tears beginning to appear in her lifeless looking yellow eyes. Her bat-like wings flew open, and she threw herself in his direction, grabbing one of his wings.

Death's eyes danced with pleasure as he watched their pitiful attempts. Sundial looked up, hatred and anger flaring in her eyes. "STOP! Stop this right now!" She howled between helpless sobs.

Sundial's attention snapped immediately to Plume at the sound of his voice. She was crying uncontrollably now. "No! I wont let you!" She yelled. Her gaze desperately searched for any possible escape route. She looked at Death, her voice desperate and filled with agony, she cried, "I'll kill myself! Right here, right now! Just let him go!"

(IKR!!! Happens all the time to me!! XD)

(I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM)

Death cackled when Sundial lifted a paw to her throat and dug her claws into herself. She tore out a chunk of flesh, and tried to keep herself from screaming and agony as she felt a sharp sting. Blood, warm and sticky, flowed from the wound onto her chest and the ground like a river. She stepped away from Plum, and bit into her paw and twisted it, hard. A loud snap echoed in the room filled with fire and smoke. And now, the scent of blood. Sundial muffled her own scream.

Death released Plume from his invisible grip, and watched the pair as Sundial bled to death in his ring of fire. Glee was painted all over his skull for a face. Sundial let herself crumble to the ground, feeling more and more faint as the pool of blood grew around her. Her now broken paw hurt with an unimaginable agony. Sundial cried out faintly. Her strength was ebbing.

Death cackled, laughing, "I'm done playing with you for now!" And he flicked his tail. All of a sudden, they were next to the stream, in the hollow where they were hours ago.

Sundial looked around, confused at the change in scenery. "You didn't have to destroy your hat for me. It means so much to you." Her voice was shaky. It was filled with fear and sadness and anger.

"Is he gone? Im so sorry." She started to get up.

The gesture was enough to knock her down. Blood continued to pour from her wound, and her broken paw filled her with agony.

Sundial screamed, and panic lit her gaze as she shoved him away and leapt to her paws, shielding herself with her wings. She screamed again as her broken paw touched the ground. Her heart was racing.

Blood splattered on the ground and on her wings at her movement. She swayed on her 3 paws, and flung out her wings for balance. She felt very light headed and weak from blood loss. Blood continued to pour from the wound.

She started hyperventilating at the thought of being asleep during a procedure. She was shaking, and she struggled to not fall over.

She started sobbing uncontrollably, and the extra shaking made her fall over. She tried to get up, but was too weak. She was shuddering, and she gave into her panic. Sundial couldnt stop apologizing for everything as she lay there, shuddering.

"Plume, I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry!" She choked on her words. She was still sobbing and bleeding.

Her hyperventilating continued, and due to the lack of oxygen, her whole body felt kinda numb. Sundial jolted when she couldnt feel 3 of her paws anymore. "PLUME!!! I CANT FEEL MY PAWS!!!" She screamed.

(XD ur fine!)

Sundial whimpered at the sight of the needle in his talons.

Sundial jumped, shocked at the feeling in the side of her neck. Her eyes widened with fear, but her muscles relaxed and her heart slowed, along with her breathing. She continued to cry, but she couldnt move at all. Her wings fell limply to her side. "P-P-Plu-m-me." She sobbed his name.

"I-I-I'm s-s-scar-r-red P-P-Plume!" She sobbed, crying uncontrollably.

She shut her eyes tight, and tried to ignore the horrible feeling of the needle weaving in and out of her neck. She continued to cry, and tried to focus on Plume's humming. She tried not to scream, but a whimper escaped from her.

She gritted her teeth, trying to ignore the pain and the anxiety fluttering around in her chest. Her tears began to subside. She was running out of them.

Sundial took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Her eyes were still closed tightly, and she stammered quietly, "A-Ar-re y-you done y-yet?"

"Are you sure?" She opened her eyes now, and looked at his amazing, beautiful face. "Are you going to move it?" Her voice was full of anxiety now.

"Okay." Her eyes were full of trust and hurt. "Im sorry." She whispered. She tried to not feel nervous.

Sundial felt really light headed and weak from blood loss. "Im so sorry about everything."

She winced, and she responded, "Its alright. Just take your time." She tried to smile, but it came out tired and scared looking.

(Sorry bro, I rlly need to get to bed. Wanna continue tomorrow?)

(Night!) She relaxed against him, feeling warm and fuzzy. All fear and pain was forgotten, as she returned the lick. She sank into sleep, to the sound of the steady rhythm of his heart beating and breathing.

Wanna start?

(Is Sundial able to move yet?)

(okay lol)

Sundial opened her eyes slowly, and tried to get up. She swayed on her feet, and forgetting for a moment that her paw was broken, put quite a bit of weight on it. She screamed in agony, tears instantly springing to her eyes as she crumpled back to the ground.

"I'm okay! I just forgot that my paw is broken." She said through clenched teeth. Agony flared in her eyes though, despite her bravery.

She was in too much pain to eat. She felt like throwing up. She shoved the hare away from her with her good paw, bile rising in her throat.

Sundial's ears perked, and flinched at the noise of the elk. She decided to try and stand again. She slowly got to her paws, and lifted her broken one clearly off the ground. She took a few tentative steps forward, before crashing to the ground again. She landed on her paw, and she screamed in pain again. At least she was closer to the stream. She hoped Plume hadn't heard her.

Sundial screamed in surprise, and ignoring the agony, leapt to her paws. She unfurled her wings, and flew to a branch to get away from its dangerous antlers. She perched, searching for Plume's familiar shape.

Sundial cried out at the sight of Plume lying in a pool of blood. She spread her wings, and launched herself from the branch. She landed beside him, panicking. Her heart was racing, her breathing coming in shallow gasps. She tried to collect herself, calm down. For Plume's sake. "Plume! What happened? Are you alright?" She searched him with her eyes, looking for any signs of life.

"Plume!" She let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding as he moved. "Oh! You're hurt!" She crouched beside him, looking into his pained face. "What do I do? I don't know anything about medical anything!" She forced herself to take a deep breath. Panicking wouldn't help anyone.

Sundial nodded, horrified, and ran to his supplies kit. She grabbed a handful of bandages, what she thought were gauze pads, and a needle with a spool of thread. She winced at the sight of the needle, remembering it entering her neck. She shook away the thought, and ran back to Plume, continuing to ignore the agony in her paw.

Sundial immediately grabbed the needle from Plume, and forced Plume to lye down with one of her wings. She took her uninjured paw, and took a deep breath. "Sorry if I prick you or mess this up. But I'm going to help you, like you helped me."

(oWo Im gonna use it boi!!!)

"Take a deep breath. Close your eyes if you need to." Sundial was starting to wish she hadn't insisted on sewing up his wound. She picked back up where Plume had left off, stitching slowly and making the stitches close together.

At one point, she missed, and entered the needle to high on his chest, and she winced at her mistake. "Sorry!!!"

She draped her tail over his side, trying to comfort him. She knew she was hurting him. She started crying, and stopped sewing up his wound. She was about halfway done. She couldn't continue. She couldn't bear hurting him. She shook her head and gripped the needle in defiance to her own mind. She was going to finish this.

He was dying! The realization snapped her to her senses, and she began to work again, through her tears. No, no, no! She hadn't realized she was yelling aloud. She was stitching faster, out of fear.

"Im sorry, Im sorry!" Her tears dripped onto his face as she finally finished sewing him back together. She looked it over, and decided that it was tight enough, despite the fact that it was a bit messy looking and uneven.

Trying to lift his spirits, she jokingly pointed to her neck and barked, "Look! We match!"

The smile slid off her face, and nodded. She didn't know why she felt hurt all of a sudden. She was dead. She couldn't be with him anyways. Why do I feel like this? She thought, not realizing she had murmured it out loud. She grabbed the bandages and began to wind them around his neck and underneath his wings, wrapping it around tightly. She stepped back and nodded, deciding it was good enough.

okay lol

Sundial jumped. "What?" She felt hot with embarrassment now. She hadnt meant to say those things out loud. "What are you talking about?"

Her ears flattened against her head, and she looked away. "Come on. We should be getting back." She reached towards him, ready to support his weight if it came to that. She yelped when she put a lot of her weight on her injured paw. She had completely forgotten about it being broken in the excitement.

Sundial felt awkward with him, now that he had heard her doubts. She couldnt be with him. Not really. He was alive, and she wasnt.

Sundial looked at his face. "Are you alright?" She sounded tired and sad. "Whats wrong?"

She looked puzzled and startled. "What do you mean, Plume?" She still avoided his gaze, looking at his ragged hat instead.

Sundial's ears flattened against her head. She still refused to look at him. She decided to busy herself with studying a nearby bush. She took a step back. "We..." She trailed off. If she said it aloud, it would make it true.

She finally looked at him. His eyes were filled with such sadness, she died a little on the inside. She felt like puking and crying. "Yes?" Her voice was a choked whisper.

Tears started running down her face. "Plume, Im sorry! But... Im dead! You're not." She turned away so he didnt need to watch her cry. Her shoulders shuddered as her body was racked with agony. Her mind was screaming horrible things at her. She saw the image of Plume's dead body, with Death hovering over him. She screamed, "NO!" aloud.

Sundial turned on him, suddenly feeling angry with the world. "Im a ****ING DEMON PLUME!!! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SEEN WITH ME?" Tears ran down her face as she yelled at him. "Do you really want to love a demon, Plume? You deserve better. I dont deserve YOU." She cried.

She couldnt believe he had said that. She started crying even harder. "Im so sorry Plume, Im so sorry!!!" She rapped her wings around herself and rocked back and forth, not sure what to feel.

Sundial leaned into him. "No, never. You never say the wrong thing." She yelped when he stepped on her broken paw. "I just love you so much, but I feel like we could never be together, like Im not good enough. You deserve someone better."

Sundial burst into tears again, and wrapped her wings around him, hugging him fiercely, like her life depended on it. "I love you. I really, really love you."

She felt a sharp stabbing pain in her throat. "Hey Plume? My throat hurts. Why does it hurt?" Her felt frightened. She hoped it wasnt infected. She hoped he wouldnt have to open the wound again.

*she felt frightened

"I feel really cold, apart from my throat. It feels really warm, and it hurts." She started shaking. This couldnt be happening.

Sundial felt a jolt. Her head started spinning, and her vision swam. No. Why.

Why now? We were having a moment! She thought angrily through her fear.

Fear jolted through Sundial. "Whats a anesthetic?" She was starting to lose control of her breathing again.

"No! I dont want to be asleep!" She started hyperventilating. Her heart was hammering against her chest.

Sundial sobbed. She started panicking. She took a step away from him, her eyes alight with fear. "No, I dont want to." She wasnt thinking straight.

She stumbled on her paws, feeling light headed from the lack of oxygen. She knew if she fell, she would have to give into Plume. She couldnt. She was too scared.

(Im including my irrational fear of hospitals and needles into this lol)

(I just think Sundial is kinda like me irl)

Sundial screamed, struggling against his grip. She crumpled to the ground when she felt the prick of a needle in her neck. (did he paralyze her first or did he put her to sleep?)

(me tho!! One of my friends has given her dad stitches before, and Im like what???)

(okay. You gonna rp out the procedure so I can maybe draw it or not??? lol u dont have to if you dont want to)

Her mind felt foggy, and she felt tired all of a sudden. "Plume? I am going to be okay, right?" She murmured sleepily. She struggled to stay conscious, waiting for his answer.

(oof sameeeee, also yeet! I will try drawing it maybe on Sunday or something)

Her breathing slowed, and so did her heart. She felt calm, but she didnt want to give into sleep. "Plume, I dont want to sleep." She murmured, flitting in and out of consciousness.

Fear entered her dazed looking eyes. "I...." She didnt have time to finish what she was going to say, before she slipped into a deep, dreamless sleep. (Take it away Starlight!)

(oof lol idk if you want there to be)

(I dont care really. An insect could have crawled in while she was still lying in the grass or something idk)

(oof. Geez Plume, why you gotta go and ruin your special moment like that?! XD)

(AWWWWWWWW Im sorry, they are just so freaking adorable!!!!!)

(When she wake up???)

(okay)

(Do you wanna stop here and pick back up tomorrow?)

(Okay! I can keep going for a few more minutes, but then I need to take a shower and go to bed. I have a debate tomorrow and some tests, so I want to be sorta well rested)

Sundial jolted awake, and lifted her head quickly. That was a bad mistake. She still felt light headed from last night. Her wound felt less inflamed. She took a deep breath. She hadnt died a second time. She whispered, "Thank you, Plume." And layed her chin on top of his head, breathing in his scent, comforting her.

A feeling of longing coursed through her, to be with him. But she knew she couldnt. She got up, favoring her broken paw. She flung out her wings for balance. She got a piece of paper, and wrote, "Thank you for saving my life many times over. I will miss you so so much. I love you. Please, never forget that." Tears filled her eyes as she continued to write next to the stream.

"I wish I could be with you, but Death will never allow that. I hope that in removing myself from your life, he will leave you alone. This is so very difficult for me, but, goodbye forever, Plume. Please, live your life to the fullest." She folded the letter and stuck it to a tree in Plume's line of sight. She carved out S & P in a heart below it, so that their love would forever be preserved in this forest.

She sobbed at the sound of him in his sleep. She died a little more on the inside as she pushed off the ground, taking off. She beat her wings, and flew, crying, into the dawn light. "I love you Plume!" She cried into the distance, hoping he had heard her.

(AWWWWWWWWWWWWW WHY DID I MAKE IT SOOOO SADDDDDDD????????!!!!!! I WANT TO CRY FOREVER NOW!!!!!!)

(oh I have plans. You dont even know!! >:3)

(Have him wake up and react to the letter and crap, and then I need to go to bed. We can continue Sunday after you finish tonight)

(1. What was the first part about??? And 2. Oof is that where we're leaving things off till Sunday???)

(Night!!!)

Do you want to start this time??? Or do you want me too??

(okay lol)

(YASSS SPONGEBOB FOR LIFE FAM)

(Awww Plume the doctor detective!!!)

Sundial closed her eyes, feeling hollow inside for the first time since she met Plume. She drifted off into a feverish sleep, from the agony coming from her inflamed paw.

(lol Sundial is asleep so Im gonna need you to keep track of what time it is and if he finds her)

(lol jk) Sundial dreamed that Death was holding Plume in his clutches, and made Plume rip open his own stomach, and lay there while his organs and blood poured out, taking his life slowly. She listened to his screams, unable to do anything. He cried out to her, and she jerked awake, crying and screaming bloody murder. (If Plume is nearby he might be able to hear her or something idk)

Her sudden movement threw her out of the tree. She unfurled her wings, trying to catch a draft, but she was falling with her back towards the ground, so she couldnt do anything but flail around helplessly. She crashed into tree branch after tree branch, cutting up her wings and body. One of her hind legs caught on a branch, still a ways above the ground. She flapped her wings, and flailed around, trying to get loose, but couldnt. She was stuck. She could feel her leg slowly being pulled out of its socket as gravity tried to pull her down.

She knocked her shoulder into the side of the tree, trying to dislocate her leg. She felt and heard a loud pop as her leg was wrenched free, also being pulled out of its socket. She screamed in pain and fright as she feel towards the ground. She landed on her head, and immediately blacked out.

(She pulled Plume down with her??? But she broke his fall XD)

She lay limply on the ground, blood trickling from her ears and small scratches all along her body. Her hind leg was twisted at an odd angle, and her front broken paw's splint had fallen off during the flight. It was inflamed and heat radiated from her.

She groaned in pain, beginning to wake up. Her eyes fluttered open. "Where am I?" She croaked, her voice filled with pain. Her eyes looked slightly glazed over.

"Oh." She settled back down, sounding quite unconcerned with this news.. "Plume, I didnt know you had siblings." Her voice sounded confused and pained. Several Plume's filled her vision, and they were all swaying. "Why are they moving like that? Why are YOU moving like that?"

"Do you hear that Plume and Plume's siblings?" She said, sounding dazed. She started to try and sit up, but screamed bloody murder as she put weight on her broken paw and moved her dislocated leg.

"On my back? But it hurts to move. I dont really want to. WHY are you MOVING like that?!?" He was swaying still, and it was making her feel sick. "Why does everything hurt? Where did the other Plumes go?" She looked dazed and confused.

"Why are you wet?" The world was spinning a little less. Sundial was able to think straight enough to realize something was wrong. "Plume? Why cant I think straight?" She was starting to panic now. "WHATS WRONG WITH ME?!?" She felt terrified. What was wrong? Why couldn't she remember anything?

She yelped as he turned her onto her back. "Please dont hurt me." She whimpered. Her eyes were still slightly dazed. "Where are we anyways? Why did I fall on my head?" She asked, confused. Blood continued to dribble from her ears, and she could hear a terrible ringing sound.

His voice calmed her, so she yelped in pain and surprise when he grabbed her leg. She screamed when he started to push her leg back into its socket. She started crying, and she struggled against him, but he finished pushing it back, and stepped back. She lay there, her mind feeling even more foggy from the pain she was in.

She looked at him, blinking away the last tears. She giggled slightly, saying, "How come your face is moving now? How is it doing that?" She reached up with her non broken paw and poked him on the nose, saying "Boop!" Between her giggles.

His face was swimming in and out of focus, and there appeared to be a lot of him. "Oh hey! Your siblings are back! What are there names?" She stopped giggling almost right after she said that.

"Hey Plume, how come you're raining? I didnt know you could rain. Are you a cloud?" She asked sincerely at the feeling of his tears hitting her side. "Can you hear that ringing noise, Plume?" The ringing in her ears seemed to be getting a bit louder.

Blood continued to dribble from her ears, dripping on the ground.

"Plume! Stop raining! You're getting me wet. Why are you breathing funny? You should really breathe normally. I love you too." She decided she wanted to stand up now, so she attempted at standing. She leapt to her paws quickly, but toppled over. She yelped when she bent her leg, which was still sore.

"Plume, why are you reading? Thank you for not raining by the way." She rolled over to him, making herself dizzy. She laid her head in his lap and closed her eyes.

Blood dribbled onto Plume's lap. The blood was slowing though.

"Mmmm. Concussion." She repeated, sounding tired. "Is that bad?" She physically jolted, her eyes flying open. "You aren't going to make me sleep again are you?"

(okay)

Relief fluttered through her. "Okay, good." Her muscles instantly relaxed, but she felt very feverish still.

(wb)

"Okay, whatever you say. How many siblings do you have anyways? Because I've seen like 10 of them and they all look like lighter colored yous." Sundial said.

"Why? I dont feel tired. Why are we here? Whats happening?" She screamed, and leapt away when she saw the ground opening up underneath her. She stood on 2 paws with her wings flung out for balance, and noticed that the ground next to Plume was perfectly normal. She started to cry and breath shallowly. "Whats wrong with me, Plume?"

(I had to too before making her have a concussion XD)

Through her tears she cried, "The ground left and then it came back!" She was shaking.

(google lol)

(brb)

(I gtg in a minute) Sundial started to shake even more violently at the mention of a sedative, whatever that was. "Where did the ground go!" She screamed through her tears.

She was too terrified to go back over there.

Her shock turned to peace, and when she fell over, she yelped once before falling asleep. (gtg rp again later maybe)

Hewwo

(okay!!!)

Sundial winced at the feeling in her head, and she threw up off to the side. She got to her paws and limped over to the river, and puked in it over and over until she was just retching. Shuddering, she collapsed by the river. She saw bright red colored birds soaring above her in a purple tinted sky. She squinted up at them in confusion. Everything seemed to be very brightly colored, and this alarmed Sundial. She lapped up several mouthfuls of the river water, ignoring the fact she had just puked in it moments before. She let her muzzle fall into the water as sleep overtook her once more.

(lol sorry we can continue tomorrow)

(okay)

"Whats happening? Why does everything hurt?" She closed her eyes and moaned with pain. Her muscles were tensed up against Plume's side, and her breathing was short.

She tilted her muzzle towards the puddle of puke a little ways away. "Yeah. I puked a lot in the river to." Her voice was scratchy and pained. "Why?" She opened her eyes and looked up at him. There were 2 other Plumes standing at his shoulders. "Your siblings are back."

"Whats a seizure?" She mumbled. "And are you sure? I've seen them around lately. They look just like you." She closed her eyes again and groaned. Everything hurt.

"I dont know. Maybe. I cant really remember anything." She replied, opening her eyes again. They were glazed over and pained looking.

(Okay)

Sundial yelped in surprise when 10 fingers appeared in front of her face. Her vision couldn't focus, and ended up flitting around, unsure of which one to focus on. In the end, she just closed her eyes and murmured to herself.

(wb then XD)

(Its fine! Im watching mental health videos)

"Ummm, multiplied? I guess?" Sundial sounded in pain and confused.

(Because I have anxiety issues, and I am trying to recover from depression)

(wut the hell is that???)

(Also bai)

(what was XD)

(Its ur turn btw)

(sin rp???)

(oh. U enjoy urself? XD)

(XD)

(K then btrp)

She felt really light headed as her shuddering increased, and her muscles tensed again. "Plume?" SHe sounded dazed. Drool dribbled from her mouth. "I didn't know you had ten fingers." She was shaking uncontrollably now.

She screamed when he jabbed the needle into her side. "Plume?!?" She yelped in panic, still shuddering violently. Drool continued to drip for her mouth. (Is she asleep or paralyzed? I dont understand all ur fancy medical terms XD)

(Okay)

Her head fell limply to the ground, making her head spin. Her muscles relaxed and the shuddering seemed to stop, but her panic remained. "Plume?!? WHats going on?!?!" She whimpered, her eyes wide with panic.

Her face was panic stricken, and her eyes were wide. She wanted to run, but for some reason her legs weren't working. Nothing was. She started panicking even more when she realized she couldnt move at all. "Plume?!?" Wh-whats going to happen to me?!?"

She choked on a sob and yelped when he stuck another syringe on her neck. After he pulled it out, she felt very tired. Panic overtook her. "PLUME!" She screamed, crying now. Her eyes drooped. Her breathing and heart slowed as she struggled to stay conscious.

(oof. She just rlly tired then? XD)

"Plume?!?" She choked on her words when she saw him lift the knife to her head. She closed her eyes, waiting to feel a horrible pain in her skull, but it never came. She kept her eyes closed, but whimpered when she felt the warm, sticky blood slid down her face and pool onto the ground.

She opened her eyes tentatively, thinking everything was over. She jolted and the ground swayed below them at the sight of the funnel and tube in his hands. She eyed them warily. She felt extremely light headed.

(Explain what all that means pls I am an idiot)

(Okay thank you XD)

Sundial closed her eyes tightly before he reached her, and ignored the strange feeling of everything. She didn't want to see what was going on.

She was too scared to do anything so she just groaned in reply. She kept her eyes shut tight, afraid of what she'd see.

She opened one eye, then the other one, reluctantly. Her eyes shone with fear, and she looked into his face. All she was able to say was, "Are you sure?"

(Hey, Imma go to bed now. Night! Continue tomorrow?)

(Okay)

(Okay)

She let out a shaky breath. "Okay." She still felt very light headed and panicky. "How long do I have to stay like this?" She tried to move her front paw, but she was still paralyzed. This freaked her out too.

(lol ur fine)

"Okay." She felt too scared to try and nod her head. "Plume, why do you keep helping me? Why did you follow me?" SHe asked. Her voice was thick with emotion, and her face was pained.

Sundial smiled at this. "I like hanging out with you too." Her expression grew grave. "But Death. Death is after us. After YOU!" (gtg srry)

(Back oof. I had to run to meh Spanish class)

"It matters because I care about you!" Feeling started trickling back to her. Pain prickled at her head.

She winced.

Tears threatened to pool from her eyes. "Yes, he can!" She sobbed, still feeling like she couldn't move in a fear of breaking something. She winced at the pain in her head. "He could kill you Plume!"

"And I dont think I would be able to live with myself if he did." She murmured, a single tear sliding down her face.

She looked at him. "You don't know that. You can't know that!"

She blinked, pain now showing on her face. "Are you sure?"

She took the aspiring, and swallowed. "Thank you." The pain cleared up quickly.

"Okay. So, why did you cut a hole in my head?" She asked, feeling the tube coming out of it as she tentatively lifted her paw to touch it.

"That sounds extremely terrifying." She shuddered. "I love you." She blurted, looking extremely awkward afterward.

She blushed, embarrassed at her outburst. "I just wanted you to know that I love you." She glanced at her paws.

She smiled, and she nuzzled him back, relaxing at his familiar scent.

"Im so sorry I ran away from you." She breathed, resting her head on his shoulder.

She wrapped her wings around him, pulling him into a hug. She held him like her life depended on it. Like she would never ever let go. She started crying.

She continued to sob into his shoulder, trying to control herself but failing miserably.

"Im sorry, Plume, Im so so sorry for dragging you into my mess!" She held onto him like she needed to hold him to live. "Im so sorry." She continued to cry into his shoulder.

She laughed through her tears, filled with emotion. She leaned back and looked into his face. She touched her muzzle to his beak, her tears beginning to subside.

She leaned in to him again, this time with her head against his chest. She continued to clutch him tightly.

She smiled happily. This was the first time Sundial had been truly happy in what seemed like forever.

(Okay lol) Sundial hugged him back. She wanted to just get lost in him. And for him to just get lost in her. She felt such a passion for him, she felt like she could fly across the world for him.

(wb lol)

Sundial noticed that he had fallen asleep, so she gently lowered him onto the ground. Careful of the tubes wound around her, she curled herself around him. She yelped in pain when the tube bumped against the cut in the side of her head.

She snuggled up against him, licking him around the beak while he slept. Smiling, she started drifting off to sleep.

(Okay XD)

She startled awake at the sound. Fear struck her, her heart hammering in her chest. She lay as still as possible, not wanting to draw any attention to herself and Plume. She glanced down at him, and whispered in his ear, "Plum, we're not alone."

"What is it?!" She cried, trying to keep her voice down. Panic was gradually taking over.

"Will the tubes slow me down if we have to run?" She asked, her breaths coming in short pants.

"Okay. Should we get out of here?" She murmured. She stood transfixed at the sight of the fire.

"But..." She glanced at him, and then back to the forest. "The fire.... Its going to get over to this side of the river soon. Its pretty narrow."

"Are you sure?" Her breathing was still coming in short gasps. Her paws began to tremble at the sight of the fire. Her vision started coming in and out of focus as panic engulfed her. "We have to run!" She screamed, turning and stumbling away from the river, yelping. Her eyes were wide with panic, and she ignored the sharp pain in her head.

She yelped as she was yanked back by Plume. She was barely breathing in her panic. "But, we have to....." She coughed. "get away!" She scrambled to get away again.

She struggled against his grip, barely breathing. She glanced around wildly. "At what?!?" She yelped. She screamed bloody murder when she heard a roar, this one close by.

She winced at his tone. "WHAT IS IT?!?!?" She screamed, beginning to struggle again. Her heart was hammering in her chest, and she was barely breathing.

She was beginning to feel light headed from lack of oxygen.

Her panic overtook her. She was no longer thinking clearly as she sprinted away from the fire. She had no idea how long she had been running, but due to her panic attack, she had barely been breathing for such a long time. She stumbled to the side and collapsed, shaking violently.

"Deep breaths. Deep breaths, Sundial." She forced herself to calm down. She could finally think clearly know that she couldnt see the fire. She sat up abruptly. "Plume?" She glanced around wildly. Where was he? She was sure he had followed her.

She began running in the direction she came. Must save Plume, must save Plume! She thought as she ran. She was still a bit wobbly. She forced herself to take deep breaths as she ran. "Plume, God dammit!"

She kept running as fast as she could. She was about halfway to the edge of the clearing to the river.

"No no no!" She panted as she continued to run as fast as possible.

She finally reached the edge of the clearing, panting. She flopped onto the ground breathing heavily. She felt like she would never move again. She screamed at the sign of the flames, but resisted the urge to run away again. She had to save Plume!

She dragged herself to her paws and stalked out into the open, towards the swiftly flowing river. The water gurgled when she reached the edge.

She jumped in and began swimming towards the opposite bank. She finally reached it, and she trotted into the flames. She immediately began panicking at the fact that she was this close to fire. Her tail was tucked in between her legs, and she let out a whimper.

There was still a few small flames here and there, but the most of it was just burned ground, smoldering embers, and smoke. She could hardly breathe, and there were several burns along her body. Her paws were burned terribly, and she screamed when she stepped on a still burning ember. She coughed and coughed and coughed due to the thick smoke.

She yelped at the sight of him with the dragon on his back. "What the Hell is that?!?" She yelped, her eyes wide. Everything hurt, and some blood was dribbling from a cut on her side from when she fell on a sharp rock in the forest.

She was coughing horribly from the smoke in her lungs. She could barely breathe.

She nodded, still coughing, and she let him lead her out of the charred forest.

Through her coughs she asked again, "What the Hell IS that, Plume?" She coughed again, ash coming off her in a cloud.

She coughed again, trying to ignore the stabbing pain all over her. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked between coughing fits.

"What if it's dangerous?" She asked between coughs. She was still struggling to breathe a bit.

She flicked her tail in agreement due to her body being taken over by a coughing fit. She winced at the pain all along her body.

She let Plume hook up the air tank without complaint. She still coughed a little here and there, but she could actually breathe now. She nodded her thanks.
