Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 8

One by one, Kira held the photos to the wall of the treehouse, vines wrapping across their corners to hole them in place without blocking too much of the photo itself. "There..." she murmured, hesitantly grabbing Luke's hand.

"We're...find, I think..." Heidi responded quietly, though she eyed Benji's shirt, which was stained in blood. "He's scared of blood, though, so I suppose I should change his shirt before he wakes up." She paused, looking over at the girl. "You're Sage, right?"

Luke nodded, holding her hand back. He'd have to move his bed so he didn't cone face-to-face with them when he woke every morning.

"How many years ago is this?" Tom asked his old team mate with a frown.

"Yes ma'am." Sage said with a nod. "I was just making sure you are not feeling any ill effects from me healing you, yesterday."

Jayden frowned as he heard her. "Amnesia of some sorts...? But then, she would not remember the past..."

Paul watched the two with interest.

Melaney shot her shadow out in many spike, like a giant spiked mace head, disappearing into a mist of shadows.

A dizzy spell washed over Kira, and she held Luke's hand tighter for a second. "I...should lay down..." she murmured, letting go of Luke's hand and retreating back over to her bed.

"You can drop the ma'am crap, it's alright, s'not like anyone here really respects my opinion anyways," Heidi shrugged. "Thanks for healing me 'nd Benji, I feel fine."

Nathan kept his eyes on her and by using IA accurately predicted where she would resurface.

He slashed with the lightning lance.

"Nathan has been known to overeact and boast, hasn't he? You should've tried to calm him down, be the bigger person." Erika replied. "And another thing: this isn't your village, it's everyone's. And you were not apointed leader, I, Heidi, and Ade were. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm a fucking useless damsel! And that's how you treat me!"

"Three years, I think," Kriska said, shrugging.

"I respect your opinion," Sage stated firmly. "And you're welcome." she then smiled.

Rose reappeared on Sage's roof, smirking, as she brought up a shadow serpent to deflect the slash.

"Yeah, good idea," Luke replied, a bit more withdrawn. "With plenty of rest you'll feel better much sooner."

"It's been six since the Storm," Tom told her carefully.

Joey sighed. "I know, and I'm an idiot to have said that..." He said.

Erika decided to catch her breath after yelling.

Benji slowly woke up, quickly spotting his blood-soaked shirt and screaming, pulling it off and throwing it across the room, trying to get the dried blood off his skin.

"Hey, calm down!" Heidi jumped to her feet, trying to soothe the crying boy.

---

Kira curled up under her blanket, staying quiet for a bit, before speaking up. "Can you...can you hold my hand? Just 'til I go to sl-sleep..."

"Erika..." Joey said, seeing her out of breath.

Sage conjured up a bucket and a cloth, and handed them over to Heidi.
