Ah, ok, so I did get to writing Patrick's POV for the Patrick/Lars fight. And I will be providing some information about the others, but the reason I didn't write a whole lot about the others fights is because they might want to write their own version in their Oh Dear's.. This won't be long…
I leaned against a tree, trying to catch my breath. This was hard… Even I, Patrick, was getting tired. And I didn't get tired easily. I looked at my sword and leaned down to wipe all the blood and gore off. Right now the enemy was currently was retreating to a certain spot, and they would advance again in a tiny bit.
I stood back up and sheathed my sword, and started walking out on the battlefield. I nodded over at Nick Yang, who was also walking to meet the oncoming enemy again. He had a blackened eye and one side of his face was drenched in blood, as his head was wrapped in bandages. But he looked like he could think clearly… not many could have stood that injury.
A hand grasped my leg and I drew a dagger from my side and looked down. It was Zeike. He was struggling to stand up.
"Take it easy," I said, putting the dagger away. I pulled him up.
"Sorry," Zeike said and held his head. "Got knocked on the head and the wind kicked out of me."
"Well, at least you're ok," Patrick said.
Zeike nodded and stretched his arms, wincing probably at the pain.
"Patrick!" I heard someone call and Ozzy walked up. "How is the battle looking?"
I shrugged. "Not many are getting killed at all, thankfully. Myla is taking out a lot of our men though, that's about the only thing affecting us. We're driving back the enemy, and already some have fled the battlefield. This'll be over in no time."
"Has any tried taking out Myla?" Ozzy asked.
I shook my head. "Not that I know of."
Gopher walked over with Kid Mental. "I saw Otaku heading over to Myla," Gopher said.
I whistled. "That's going to be a tough match."
Spirit walked over, drawing an arrow. "Is this a group meeting or something?"
"It could be," I said. I heard the yell and the trample of feet. "Ok guys, the enemy are advancing… take your men and attack each side of them. I'll take the middle."
"Got it," they said and were off.
I gathered what men were in my group and we set off to meet the enemy… and more blood was slain.
I knocked a man off his feet, and blocked a blow and punched one person in the face, I fought with my all, and my sword was soon stained red with blood. I grabbed another sword and fought two handed, swinging them left and right.
I shivered, feeling a cold chill. I turned around and gasped at the man standing in front of me.
"Lars!" I shouted.
"Hello, Patrick," he said. "How is Aay?"
I growled and jumped at him. "Why are you still alive!"
"Why such vengeance?" he said as he blocked my blow.
"You know why!"
Lars jumped back and flipped his hair out of his eyes. He sighed and closed his eyes. "Same old Patrick." He opened his eyes and grinned. "So I hear you hitched up with Aay. How's it goin'?"
"What's it to you?" I said. I swung the swords around and got into a offensive pose, my leg out farther than my other one and leaning partially down, ready to jump at him. And I did.
Lars laughed and blocked my right sword, and swung his sword to the side to block the left. I swung around and aimed from the back at him, and turned around and aimed at his head. He parried both. I fell to the ground, putting my leg out and catching him under the knee, and I pulled him down with me. I jumped back up and watched Lars roll quickly away and trying to stand back up.
I turned and saw Aay running past me, and as she looked toward me I gave her a nod and a smile, and had to quickly turn back to block Lars blow.
"Oh, so that's Aay now, eh?" Lars said. "She's looking pretty good…"
I knocked his sword away and hit him in the mouth with my elbow. "Stop talking."
Lars wiped his bloodied mouth. "You're a lucky guy."
I swung the swords in front of me and turned, swinging them low. He parried, but I did a side flip and hit him with my leg, bringing him to the ground. I jumped at him and held the two swords to his neck. "I know I am," I said, out of breath.
"Ah, what a bad position," Lars said. He pointed to the swords at his neck. "Not a good one at all."
"I should just kill you right now."
"Why?"
"Because…"
"Because I betrayed you," Lars finished for me. "Right. Yeah, whatever. I didn't know you cared so deeply about that."
I sighed. "Who wouldn't?"
"Me."
"What if Myla betrayed you and killed you right now?" I asked him.
Lars shrugged the best he could. "I know she would anyways. What about Aay? Do you think she would ever betray you?"
"A silly thought," I said. It was a silly thought.
Lars scratched his head. "Well, go ahead, finish me."
I took the swords away from his head. "I don't kill in cold blood."
"But you're doing it all around you."
"I have to protect myself."
"Sure," Lars sighed and picked up a sword. "Let's have another rematch. This time to the death."
"Got it," I said.
Lars rushed at me, and I parried back, avoiding his attacks. I needed to concentrate. I needed to end this. I then stopped blocking, and started attacking with hard blows. I jumped over him and attempted to stab him through the back, but he swerved around and blocked it, and used his arm guard to block my left sword coming at his shoulder.
I held the sword at his arm guard, struggling to push it closer to him, as the right sword against his sword. We just stood there, pushing our swords at each other, and I moved the sword down, trying to catch it under the armor. It did catch, and I pushed it under and pushed away from me. I caught his arm with my sword, and I partially cut it off. Lars yelled and let go of his sword and collapsed to the ground, holding his barely hanging arm.
I stopped and backed a few steps.
"We agreed to the death, Patrick. You didn't follow through," Lars grunted out.
"Well, it didn't go according to plan," I said and walked away.
Lars cursed and I heard him get up and start running at me. I had sheathed my sword, so I grabbed a dagger that was tied underneath my arm. I heard a step behind me and spun around, hearing the cut in the air, and ducked below it. I then reached out my arm and stabbed Lars straight through the stomach. I jumped back.
Lars pulled out the dagger that came out his back. "That can't kill me," he said.
"Damn," I cursed and drew my sword. I slashed at Lars left and right, and locked our swords together. I held it together, trying to tear apart the sword from Lars's hands. I succeeded. The sword went flying away, and I put the sword to Lars neck in lightning speed. I said goodbye as I ran it through his neck. He tumbled to the ground.
I backed off, and stumbled to the ground to catch my breath. I hadn't realized I had been breathing so hard.
"Patrick!" Kid Mental said as he ran over. "Aay's up there!" he said, pointing to a hill top.
I looked up and sure enough, Aay was matching against Myla. Wait. "Is that her?" I asked.
"I'm pretty sure…" Kid Mental said.
"… She got fast," I said quietly. I watched Myla retreat over the hill, as I couldn't see her anymore, and I watched Aay follow. "Something's not right," I said and started walking to Aay. I passed Otaku and nodded for her to follow me.
"Aay's up there," I said.
"Yeah, I know," Otaku replied. "Was that my imagination, or did I see tons of arrows fly up there?"
"That wasn't your imagination, because I saw it too," I said. I sped up. It took awhile to get up the hill, and when I reached the top, I was able to see the whole battle. Our army was almost covering the whole battlefield, and I could see Myla's army retreating. There were bodies all over, but the loss wasn't that big, but it was still a loss, no matter what, and would hurt many families.
We eventually came to a cliff with a waterfall. I looked down it. "Is that…?" I asked, pointing to two shapes through the mist of water.
"I think so," Otaku said and started looking for a way to climb down. We eventually found a slope with grass burned from recent fire, and I noticed a huge tree also burned, but it would seem from a long time ago. I pushed that thought aside. I could now make out that it was Aay…
"My God…" Otaku breathed as we reached the bottom.
I stumbled over to Aay, who was lying on the ground covered in arrows, water, and blood. Tons of blood. I pushed Myla off Aay who had an arrow through her heart. I felt for a pulse on Aay's wrist. I felt one, but it was faint.
"Otaku, go get help," I said.
"Got it," Otaku replied.
I couldn't really carry Aay with arrows in her back, as I couldn't remove them without proper tools. I gently straighten Aay out, who looked like she was struggling to open her eyes, and I whispered her name, seeing if she would respond.
She didn't. She just kept mumbling.
It was a couple more minutes before help showed up. Megamickel ran up to me, carrying a stretcher. "Good Lord," he said. "We'll have to remove the arrows." He kneeled down and handed me some tools.
I nodded. I had to tear the back of Aay's shirt apart, and I pulled the arrows out one by one. I wrapped her back up, and then pulled the arrow out of her leg and bandaged that, as the hole through her arm. I wrapped her in a blanket I had been brought and placed her on the stretcher.
We brought her back and placed her in one of the tents set up for the wounded.
Now it's been one and a half week, and we've learned that Aay could not see anything. We were all stricken by the news, and Aay could barely even move….
Now its two weeks, and Aay's woken up, and she's been able to move… and her vision has been returned. She described the details of her fight with Myla, and I later on described what had happened with Lars.
But overall, I was just happy to see her alive. Most of the people I knew were still alive.
Now I'm just happy this chapter with Myla is all done with…
But…
Something else surprised me…
Aay was found to be pregnant on the day of Otaku's party. I had paled when I first learned of it, not because of disgust, but because Aay had gone through all that injury, and I was wondering if it had hurt the baby at all. Later that night, when Aay had talked with someone who knew a lot about medicine and such, it was found out that the baby hadn't been injured, as far as we could tell. Aay and I were both very glad about that.
Aay laughed when we walked home. "What should we name the baby?"
"I don't know," I replied.
"That's a weird name," Aay said. "'I don't know.'"
I bonked her over the head. "Ok, how about…"
"Whisper's a nice name," Aay said.
"Yes, but Captain Vess just named his newborn daughter that," I said, regarding the Captain of the King's Army. I should say, newly ranked Captain.
"I know, but it's just a nice name… How about…" Aay wandered off.
I laughed. "Aay, we have around eight months. You'll come up with it."
Aay nodded. "Yeah…"
And thus… we had a boy.
We named him Sliver.
I struggled how to end this… See how I'm weaving it in with Hidden Away?
Hope you enjoyed this!
And I challenge you guys, as Otaku challenged you before, to write your own Oh Dear's with your characters. I thank Otaku93, Mental Productions, Revan Jast, Blitzer boy1 and Sith Worshipper for writing their own and giving me a thrill in reading them!
