This Means War

Letting my hands drop to my side, I gripped the edge of the bed, preparing to be poked and prodded. I cringed as Glenda reached her hands up, to touch each side of my face, turning it gently to get a better look at my jaw. "Well, you'll certainly be needing some stitches, but nothing I can't handle. We'll start there and make our way down." She said looking me in the eye as she pulled her hands away, patting me lightly on the shoulder.

This Means War

Smiling at Daisy in thanks, I sat on the bed waiting as Glenda moved about, grabbing a tray full of supplies and tools, dragging it after her as she returned to us.
"You too, Hun." She said looking at Daisy and waving her arm to the bed, gesturing for her to sit.

This Means War

I smiled, glad that she was going to get herself checked out, it have me slight peace of mind over what had happened. Once we were through the doors, we walked down a wooden clad hallway, unsure of where we were supposed to go.
"I heard you were coming." A voice spoke out from behind us and I looked over my shoulder as we stopped walking. A middle aged woman stood with her arms folded, dressed in the same grey that painted this camp, only her uniform had a red cross on the chest. "Come on, this way. We'll get you all fixed up." She said gesturing towards a door we had already passed, a small smile growing on her face.

This Means War

I nodded. If I was never stupid enough to let my guard down, I would never have gotten taken and Daisy would've never had to come rushing after me. She would never have gotten hurt.
"You should still get checked out." I said glancing over at her. "It could be worth it and probably won't take more than a few minutes."

This Means War

I nodded, knowing she was right. "I'll be okay soon." I said looking down at the ground as I walked, concentrating on my steps to prevent myself from tripping over.
"Are you?" I asked her. "I mean, you got... captured as well, they didn't really seem like the kinda people who held anything back."

This Means War

"Thank you." I said to Daisy, giving her a smile as she put her arm through mine, letting me lean most of my weight on her.
"It's not too far that way." Slacks said pointing ahead before looking back at us. "Shouldn't take you more than five minutes." I looked ahead to where he had pointed and squinted my eyes, trying to see the infirmary he was talking about. With no luck, Daisy and I began walking, making our way slowly through the camp to what hopefully was a warm and comfortable infirmary.

This Means War

I woke up slowly, feeling my body ache from sitting stiff in one position for so long. I winced as I stretched my limbs out and looked out the window of the helicopter. Once we had touched down on the ground, the soldiers opened up the door as the helicopter blades above us slowed down to a stop. All at once everyone moved and unclicked their seatbelts, standing up and getting ready to hop out. I followed along and waited until everyone was off before climbing out slowly after them, one arm circled around my ribs as if to stop them from moving.

This Means War

After staring out the window for some time, seeing nothing but white clouds and patches of blue sky, I turned my head into the seat, knowing I should be resting up like everyone else. With a deep breath and a wince, I closed my eyes and settled in, feeling a tiredness wash over me quickly, leading me into a deep sleep.

This Means War

Laying my head back, I relaxed knowing we were safe and that we wouldn't be running into trouble for a while. "Alright soldiers. Relax. You've all done a great job, we'll get you home soon." One of the soldiers who helped us in spoke us, looking at us all with a comforting smile. I watched as the others settled in for the long flight and saw a few of them close their eyes, obviously keen to get some rest before being thrown back into the action of training.

This Means War

I smiled at Daisy, grateful and then took her arm letting her help me towards the helicopter. "Thanks." I said once we reached the door and the soldier inside pulled me up. I gasped at the sudden pain but was relieved to finally be inside where I knew I was safe.
Taking a seat next to Penelope, she patted my shoulder and smiled at me as I pulled my seat belt on, obviously pleased to be getting out of this place as well.
