Tending Wounds

"Time to go." Kyxsha said...her hand on my shoulder. >.<

I turned and looked at Domix. "This isn't over is it?" I asked. "Why don't you just come with me and be done with it?"

He looked around slightly. He seemed like he was about to tell me something serious...when out of nowhere he stuck his tongue at me...pulling down one of his eyelids in a childish expression. "Yeah! I bet you wish don't you?!" Then he was gone in a flash.

I put my hand over my face...feeling foolish about expecting something serious out of his mouth. Then, Kyxsha and I returned to the Castle.

"Go back to bed now." I stated firmly. "I saw the way you looked when Thrud dropped you. You're still in deep pain...so go rest and heal it up."

"I said I'd help you with your cuts...besides...I want to go to Agrabah." She rebuked.

"No." I stated flatly. "You sent that guy...he's enough to deal with Agrabah." I knew it was harsh...but she needed to rest! "I can take care of my own wounds. Please...just go up to bed..."

There was a mixture of anger and sadness in her expression...but I had a lot to think about again...I just needed a few moments to myself. Reluctantly...she began her ascent up the stairs. I went to the medical room...and treated my wounds with a mild antiseptic...they weren't all that bad.

I couldn't believe seeing my sister again. She'd changed a lot from my memories...yet at the same time...not at all. I mean...she still was able to strike fear into not only me...but Domix as well. And Domix...the look he kept giving me was so misleading. He wanted to come back to me...to make up for the mistakes yet something kept him from doing that. I knew there was a reason...yet just what was it...

I sat there deep in thought...for minutes on end....
