"I told you to stay put" Ari growled and unsheathed her sword.
I grimaced, knowing I was going to hear about that later. But, right now I needed to worry about Faye. I crawled over to him as he was clutching his leg in pain. His poor dragon obviously felt bad about the whole thing and was whimpering beside him.
I looked at Ruby and nodded towars Reath. Ruby knew that I wanted REath to be distracted. I knelt at Faye's side, "You're lucky I know about wounds and injuries."
I glanced over my shoulder and figured Ari had it under control, she seemed capble enough. I focused on the task at hand. Ok. "I'm sorry, but I have to pull it out. It's going to really hurt," I warned him.
He nodded, knowing it had to be done. I wrapped my hand around the arrow and hesitated I grabbed his hand with my free hand and squeezed it before pulling out the arrow with a swift yank. Faye cried out as I threw the arrow to the side. I needed something to wrap around the injury.
Taking off my button-down shirt, I tore it into strips and began cleaning the wound with the water from my canteen and securly tied the strips of my shirt around his leg.
Sweat poured down his temple, and I wet another strip of cloth to cool him down. "Here, drink some water," I told him, handing him the canteen.
I wanted to help Ari, but I wouldn only get in the way. I wouldn't be of much help, so I sat next to Faye and held Ruby in my arms, stroking Reath too to keep him calm. We could only watch as Ari took them down.
