I'M BACK EVERYBODY
Ic ♥:
He was in pain. Oh so much pain. He should be dead. He wasn't even sure if his heart was beating.
But he was done for. Sunclan was not exactly hell. Hell was always thought to be full of flames and screaming. Sunclan prison was torture. He had been in a cold, makeshift cell of debris, dirt, and the odor of other unkept people. And he had been oh so kind to the others, and so patient for escape.
His kindness was a new ability. He could take away pain. If someone from Hawkclan came in, if they were young, if they were elderly or pregnant and had a cut or broken bone, he would ask to take away their pain, and if they said yes, he touched them.
From a Hawkclanner, he received her broken left forepaw. From one of Sunclan's own kits he got a gash on his left shoulder. From a pregnant she-cat, he took a bruise and a cut from her sides, and the last was from an elderly tom. He received a cut close his right eye. And with all the injuries, most of his cuts were untreated and partially infected.
To make matters worse, they had broken his prosthetic. The plastic was floppy and chipped, the gears and shafts jumbled around inside it like lego blocks in a plastic bag.
He didn't even look like Zane anymore. His jaws were clenched around the plastic of his leg, which meant he was stumbling on two legs, due to his forepaw being broken. His silver and white fur was tangled and matted with dirt, mud, and especially blood. Most of it was his, but some of it was also blood from other cats. Under his fur, his white and silver self was tinged with yellow from infection and malnourishment. His usually upright and straight posture was sullen and seemed ready to crumble.
His face was even showing an emotion of sadness and tire.
Zane continued walking, not even sure where he was. He didn't care. He just wanted to be in a safe place again. He wanted his leg to be repaired.
He wanted his Father.
He couldn't keep this up. He was in the middle of no where. He collapsed, groaning from the pain of collapsing on his wounds.
He was ready to die. He wondered, would anyone really miss him? Him and Nya were on uneven terms. He rarely ever saw Kai or Cole around, and only talked to Jay when they happened to be in the same area.
Zane Julian fell unconscious.
It might've been hours or minutes later, but a white tom came up to Zane's crumbled form, gasping at the site. The tom's eyes locked on the leg, and his jaw dropped. The tom took the leg in his jaws, and heaved Zane's body over his shoulders.
He set Zane back down on the bed In a small room, with a desk, a window, and the bed.
The tom cleared wiped his current project onto the floor, and set the leg on the desk. He took various small tools and replaced various broken gears, worn screws, and two broken shafts. He did all this unnaturally quick, but slow enough to be precise. As he had finished replacing parts, he heard a low, quiet voice speak.
"Who- who are you? What are you doing? Where's my leg?"
The white tom stiffened, not moving from his position. He didn't want him to know, he wasn't ready.
He would have to just use manipulation on his memory. No, he couldn't do that to him to again.
Julian stood up, his head low to avoid eye contact with Zane. The white tom looked up at Zane when he was in front of the trainee, and his son gasped as Julian pressed a pressure point on him, sending him back into unconsciousness.
He could not interfere. He was only going to fix his leg, and drop him off back in Hawkclan.
Julian went back to work, gluing and stitching the plastic back together. He washed the dirt and muck off, and set the leg back down.
It would all be ok, he decided, and strapped Zane's leg back to his body, and heaved the tom on his shoulders again. Julian knew where Hawkclan was. He had been monitoring the clan, watching after Zane. Of course, he had never left his room.
Julian set Zane back right where he had found him, and left him there. Julian then walked away, making sure not to look back.
And Zane awoke again, back in the middle of no where, and got up, not really sure what happened.
He then got up, and resumed limping home.
He did eventually reach the Hawkclan border, and he breathed heavily, collapsing against a tree, his wounds still untreated and his fur dirty.
He was home.
Tears crept from Zane's eyes, and he sucked it in, after a few tears dropped.
And he was unconscious once more.
