[elmthesmalltree]

[She stands up and runs out of the room, coming back in a few minutes later, wiping her mouth with her hand]

- Melody

[sits up and looks at her]

Morning sickness?

[melody-smith]

[She nods, sitting down next to the bed]

[elmthesmalltree]

[kisses the back of her hand]

How can I help, love?

[elmthesmalltree]

[She stands up and runs out of the room, coming back in a few minutes later, wiping her mouth with her hand]

- Melody

[sits up and looks at her]

Morning sickness?

[elmthesmalltree]

How are you doing, baby?

- Melody

Tired an’ I hurt, how are you darling?

[elmthesmalltree]

[Shes stumbling around in the woods near them, crying but clearly not aware she should be looking for them]

- Melody

Mel? Are you ok?

[their voice horse]

[melody-smith]

[Her head snaps up]

Elm!?

[elmthesmalltree]

Mel

[melody-smith]

[She rushes over to them]

[elmthesmalltree]

Are you ok? Why are you crying?

[melody-smith]

Doesn’t matter. What happened to you.

God, we need to get you somewhere safer.

[elmthesmalltree]

Does matter, my girlfriends crying. That matters. Got attacked by a vamp, I think he thought I was dead when he left

[melody-smith]

You’re more important right now.

I’m probably gonna need to heal you some before we can more you.

[elmthesmalltree]

Not really

Ok, thank you

[leans up a bit with a wince and kisses her cheek]

[melody-smith]

[She finds the worst injury and gently hovers her hand over it]

Breathe in for me.

[elmthesmalltree]

[takes a deep breath]

[melody-smith]

And out…

[She heals the injury]

[elmthesmalltree]

[lets the breath out shakily and closes their eyes]

Thank you

[melody-smith]

I’ll heal a couple more than we’ll move closer to a road so an ambulance can pick you up.

Breathe in again for me.

[elmthesmalltree]

Comin’ with me.

[takes another deep breath and lets it out slowly]

[melody-smith]

Wasn’t gonna let them take you without me.

[She heals another injury]

[elmthesmalltree]

I’m sorry

[melody-smith]

Don’t be. This isn’t your fault, 小花.

[elmthesmalltree]

I had a dumb dream that’s why I was out here in the first place- it is my fault

[melody-smith]

Baby, I promise it isn’t your fault and you have nothing to apologise for.

[She heals another injury]

[elmthesmalltree]

Feels like it is

[gently takes her hand]

Thank you

[melody-smith]

Well it isn’t.

[She gives them a sad smile]

Well, I was hardly gonna leave you here without helping.

[elmthesmalltree]

I don’t want you to leave. Ever. Please never leave.

[kisses her hand]

[melody-smith]

[She breathes in shakily]

I won’t.

[elmthesmalltree]

[sits up and cups her face gently]

Baby what’s wrong?

[melody-smith]

[She shakes her head]

Not right now. Let’s get you out of here, yeah?

[elmthesmalltree]

[kisses her cheek]

Ok but I would like you to tell me what’s wrong- only if you want to though

[melody-smith]

Maybe later.

[elmthesmalltree]

Ok darling

[gets up, almost falling on their face immediately]

[melody-smith]

I’ve got you.

[She lifts them up]

[elmthesmalltree]

You don’t have to carry me baby I can walk-

[melody-smith]

Too late.

[elmthesmalltree]

Gonna hurt you

[melody-smith]

I’m stronger than I look.

[She starts heading in the direction of a main road]

[elmthesmalltree]

[buries their face in her neck and wraps his arms around her shoulders]

[elmthesmalltree]

[Shes stumbling around in the woods near them, crying but clearly not aware she should be looking for them]
