Chapter 16

"Nurse Redheart?" I asked.

Her face got really red.

"Uh. Um. Yes..." She said.

"Don't worry. This is our little secret." I said as she examined my back.

"What was this cut made by?" She asked.

"A sword enchanted with dark magic." I said.

"Oh my. This will take some work." She said as she pulled off her backpack.

She unzipped it and pulled out a roll of gauze, a washcloth, a strip of leather, and a bottle of alcohol.

"You may want to bite down on this." She said as she handed me the leather strip.

"No. Just do it." I said as pushed the strip away.

"Suit yourself." She said as she uncapped the alcohol and poured some onto the rag.

"This will sting. A lot." She said.

"Just get it over with already." I said.

She shrugged and started to rub the rag against the cut. I cringed slightly at the pain. After she had thoroughly cleaned my wound, she pressed a clean towel to it and started to wrap the gauze around me. Once she finished, she pulled out a small trash bag and stuffed the wash cloth and my old shirt into it. She then pulled out a pill bottle and uncapped it. She pulled out a small white pill.

"Here, take this." She said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It's a condensed form of opium. It'll draw out the poison from the dark magic." She said as she pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to me.

"If you say so." I said.

I took the pill and emptied the bottle of water.

"Good. Now, just get some rest and you'll be fine." She said as she left the bus.

"What about my shirt?" I asked.

"Don't worry, darling. I'm sure I can find something around here to use to make you a new one. Just get some rest." Rarity said.

Wind Storm sat down beside me.

"I'll stay by your side until you wake up. We should be in Fillydelphia by then." She said.

"Thank you. All of you." I said as I closed my eyes.
