Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The incident
After I finished my food, I asked him: "So what actually happened last night ?"
His ear dropped down a bit - "You may want to rest a bit more."
"Please,...I..I need to know."
...
...
...
"George ?"
"Fine" - He mumbled - "Where do you want me to start ?"
"From the beginning" - I said.
"Sure!"
"We were having a walk in forest, gathering some food, then I heard a strange noise so I decided to check it up, but when I got back you were already gone, I searched the surrounding area and heard your whimper, then i saw you lying on the ground, there were blood all over your face."
"Oh" - I said.
"Remember anything now ?"
"No not yet."
"But it wasn't a big deal, why didn't you tell me the first time I asked you to ?"
He answered: "I just...don't want to remember that memory."
"Why so ?"
"I don't like seeing you got hurt" - he looked away while answering.
I was a bit shy and speechless, as I reached out to the back of my head to scratch it, my vision faded quickly, I felt like falling down a cliff. I passed out.
I had a dream, I saw a doorknob, it somehow felt so familiar, yet I couldn't remember where I had seen it before, or maybe it was just a false memory, a dream. Curiosity killed the cat, So I decided to touch it. The moment I did it my head hurt like hell, as if it was being hit by a pickaxe.
"Celio!..."
"Celio!..."
"CELIO!!!"
I woke up, my breath was heavy, my body was sweating yet all of those seemed to fade away as George leans toward me, giving me a tight and warm hug.
"You wake up!! I'm so glad you did Celio, you just passed out all of the sudden, I was so worried."
...
"We need to go to the nearest town to get a doctor" - he said
He packed our stuff with haste put it all in our backpack.
He handed me mine.
"Wear this, I'll carry you"
"Where are we going ?" - I asked
"Like I said we need to find you a doctor."
"There's no need to, I'll be fine."
He glanced at me.
"Ok let's get going" I said
He offered me a piggyback.
As he carried me to our next destination I remember him calling me Celio so I asked: "What did you call me back then ?"
"Oh, ugh.. Celio ?"
"Sooo......Is that my name ?"
"What else could it be?"
His voice soften down: "Hey you should rest, we can talk later."
We didn't said anything after that.
At one moment I started yawning, I was lying on his soft fur back, a small breeze of wind carried his sweet vanilla scent, everything was just so comfy, my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, I eventually fell asleep.
