Sibling Rivalry

[Grifters]

He was in and out of conscienceness. He heard her but couldnt talk. He was tired and drained.

He felt the knife on his wound and let out a loud scream before passing out.

He had nightmares. The plane going down, Sara drowning. Fire everywhere. Then black. He dreamt of his mom. Sick and in bed, then fine and calling to him.

 

[Perplexia]

Sara held his head on her lap dabbing his forehead and coeing him. "i got ya nicky hang on" she said smoothing his hair back from his face. She had found an aloe plant and applied it to his wound when he slept. She dozed on an off with him keeping wood going on the fire.

The next morning it seemed his fever had broke. Making breakfast she ate a little while reapplying the aloe to his wound an holding up his head an making him drink some water.

 

[Grifters]

"Thanks Red.
I was going up high for a better view and lost my grip.
Bark got me pretty good."

He coughed while drinking.

"looks like you got me taken care of, god my head hurts."

He looked around, she had been taking care of him, and still keeping camp going. She was damn amazing. He never knew.

 

[Perplexia]

"you've probably got a migraine from not eating, not to mention you probably had a concussion if you hit your head on the way down. If you ever scare me like that again Nicky i will filet your ass in your sleep you hear me?" she questioned sternly glad that he was awake and now able to express her fear over the situation.

"I'll make you some breakfast" she added softly getting up an making bringing him some coconut an bananas.

 

[Grifters]

He laughed
then was suddely tired
"ok, im gonna nap, let me know when its ready, we still have a lot to do"
he watched her prep a meal through half closed eyes
then dozed a bit

 

[Perplexia]

"we hell" she snapped back at him bringing him his breakfast. "You are resting at least another day before you try to be Tarzan again." She watched him half haphazardly raise a sleepy eyebrow at her "don't you even thing of arguing with me. As far as i see it you owe me, so you will obey" she grinned holding his food randsom

 

[Grifters]

"ok ok, but we still need wood. Can you? Stick to the treeline."
He held out his hand half asleep, he was still weak. He must have really lost more blood than he realized.

 

[Perplexia]

"its under control Nicky" she assured him as she left his food by him and went about gathering more wood. She stayed on the tree line, refusing to enter without him. She gathered what she could making several trips until she was sure there was enough to last a while.

She caught some fish for lunch, and filleted them cooking them up on the stake just like he had taught her. "wake up nicky" she said softly, "time to eat again"

 

[Grifters]

Nick had had a dream again, Sara was in trouble, running. He felt helpless.

He woke and found her working. He shook it off as just the pain.

"Thank Red I am hungry, We need to tear up one of my shirts and make me a new bandage and I gotta get back to work. we need our shelter better and a water catch for rain so we arent traveling for water daily" He was tired just from talking

 

[Perplexia]

The first thing you're going to do is rest and get your strength back." She pointed her finger an shook it lightly at him. "I will make you a deal" she said with a smirk slowly unbuttoning his shirt. "If you obey, and be a good paitent, when you recover, you may do whatever you wish to me." sticking her finger in her mouth she pulled it out slowly running it down the v on the shirt.
The shocked look upon his face was priceless.
"I know that i'm not schooled in this kind of thing Nicky, but i have read books. Including the sleeping beauty series by Ann Rice. I know that men have some abnormal fantasies. And i'm giving you the opportunity to have yours for a full week. If of course you can obey and stay put until i think you're well enough to resume."
