Melanie's pov:
it took a few days for Seth's leg to be good enough for her to walk around, don't get me wrong I could see how annoyed the pain made her, the slight limp and the blood staining the bandages.... what I'm trying to say it took her two days to act if nothing was wrong not to heal, she always had no problems dealing with the pain after all.
for the rest and I it took that much day to get on speaking grounds again and solve our differences, right now we are friends again with four days before the supply ship here, eating something Seth got us.... it was supposed to be a deer but she was annoyed so it was not really looking like that.
Fearless still stuck to her side after the accidental ear clipping, it didn't change anything for him in his love for her, perched on her shoulder like a bird even as she tried to shake him off, he either sat there and laid with his front paws on one side of her neck and the back on the other side like a living fur scarf that annoyed her all day.
----
it was night and all so the place was scarier, no idea what could be hiding in the night, in the shadows, ready to drag us away to our death.... just the thought of that made me shiver.
I decided to walk up the stairs to see if Seth was okay while the others were half asleep on the couch even though they had their weapons in hand, you can never be careful enough in this place can you?
I knocked on the door which was barely one anymore with the damage done to it, I freaking could see in the room with the hole cut in to it for fucks sake.
"come in, it's open" I carefully opened the door, Seth was laying on her bed/mattress with Fearless laying on her neck like he always down.
"I told you he wasn't all that bad" I said, sitting by the bed and rubbed the wolf's head making him yawn but snuggle his snoot back against Seth asleep.
"I still want to drown him" I rolled my eyes and face palmed as she put the wolf on the mattress as she sat up. «why are you here?"
"oh euh I came to check on all the wounds"
"go on" I lifted her arms in a mock surrender and sitting close to me to let me have a look at the things I wanted.
"your cheek healed, wounds from that gun shot and scythe are soon to be just like the cut you made yourself in your neck and side, your leg will take some time"
"you know I was never in such a state before you girls pointed their faces on this island?"
"well you did say I am the first that cut your face so the change happened back then...... but I'm grateful you kept us safe, tomorrow will be the start of our last three days here" it hurt a bit to say that, I can't continue lying about my feelings can I. "maybe we should take out the thread I used to stitch up your cheek while I'm here" she passed her hand on them and shook her head with her usual big smile.
"I like it, all this.... it's like trophies maybe? some souvenir is a better wording"
I just stared at her, I saw her arch up an eyebrow with her smile as I slowly turned red, come grow a pair and do it, you only have a few days Melanie and you know very well you'll always regret if you don't.
"Melanie?"
"I'm sorry if you hate me after this" I breathed out with a loud sigh and closed my eyes and kissed her.
you know all the cliché stuff? like 'wow it felt like fireworks in my stomach'? well they are all lies, it's like world war 3 down there!!!!!!! how could they compare it to something so small as fireworks?!?!
I pulled away sadly as she did nothing, opening my eyes with tears in them and getting up before she grabbed my arm.
"wait" I looked back, her eyes wide and her mouth just hanging open in shock before she yanked on my arm and I kind of fell half in her lap, half laying on the mattress.
"it's not a lie right?"
"what?" I wiped away the tears that spilt, pushing myself on my elbows to look up at her.
"this is not a lie right?!?!" she kind of yelled half scaring me.
"n-no I meant it"
she stared silently before to my huge surprised she leaned down and kissed me again.
Oh hell yeah !
she pulled away after maybe a minute or two even, I noticed I had closed my eyes so I opened them again and smiled almost as big as she normally does.
"awe you cute" I said pinching her red cheeks before she swatted my hands away and sat up, I pulled my legs off of her and sat up too.
"shut up or I'll drown you with this flea bag"
"yeah sure"
"I hate you"
"and I love you too"
"STOP POCKING ME!!!" I started laughing and she annoyingly shoved me a little but she didn't deny anything that happened right now.
"don't worry I get you have a hard time being nice and show affection I get it; all I need is to know you do like me right? that wasn't a lie like you asked me"
"no it wasn't a lie...." I sat there happy go lucky, hugging her arm with my head on her shoulder while she just held on my hand, well.... this went down smoother than I thought it would.
I heard her hum something before looking at me and back forwards and actually singing it, I love when she does.
Won't you come out?
We can paint the town red
Kill a little time
You can sleep when you're dead
'Cause it isn't over yet
Get it outta your head
Chase a couple hearts
We could leave them in shreds
Meet me in the gutter
Make the devil your friend
Just remember what i said
'cause it isn't over yet
Just remember what i said
'cause it isn't over yet
Say you have a little faith in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home to where the lonely ones roam
Won't you come out?
I've been waiting for you
Holding by breath 'till my body turn blue
We got everything to lose
Yeah, i'm waiting on you
Suns come up and there's no one else around
Meet me in the shadows while you tell me what you found
You got everything to lose
Yeah, i'm waiting on you
Say you have a little faith in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home to where the lonely ones roam
To where the lonely ones roam
Roam with me
Come down to where all of the others fell
Get lost in the dark to find yourself
Just remember what i said
No, it isn't over yet
Say you have a little faith in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home to where the lonely ones roam
Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home to where the lonely ones roam
"I like your voice"
"thanks~" she chuckled.
I sighed and kissed her cheek, standing up and walked to the open window, looking out it at the stars, leaning out a little.
Seth's pov:
I might not look like it but my brain was having a melt down with a red flashing alarm going off.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YES!!!!!! SHE'S MINE AND NO ONE ELSE'S!!!! MINE!!!!
I started smiling bigger when she wasn't looking at me, my heart dancing the samba right now.
I stood up too and walked over when she backed away a little, strangely staring outside.
"what's wrong ?" I asked.
"I think I saw something" she leaned out and I was about to tell her to not do that when an arm grabbed her own.
she screamed of course while I grabbed on her, trying to pull her back before something was splashed in my face making me stupidly let go as it burned my eyes.
it was rubbing alcohol.
"MELANIE!!!" I screamed and jumped out the window when the sight in one of my eyes was back.
"SETH!!! HELP!!!"
I ran off but stopped after a while, not matter what I screamed I got no answer, I was worried, angry and stressed, I slammed my axe in a tree with a scream and cut it down before running back to search for her.
I searched all night until I saw the first rays of sunlight come up, my eyes burning still but vision back to normal as I ran home.
"GIRLS!!!!" they jumped awake with a scared scream as I slammed the door open and stood there sweaty, shaky and out of breath. "MELANIE WAS KIDNAPPED !!!!!"
"WHAT ?!?!?!"
