First message
Thunder boomed over head, a torrential downpour in the midnight sky, had the girl not be awake from the storm, she’d likely have missed the knock on her door. Gazing through the peep hole, her eyes grew wide with a mixture of feelings, seeing Nathaniel, beyond her door. His posture gave way to pain, his hand over his lower torso, the end of a blade sticking from between his hands. The door was opened, the man’s dark eyes turning to her. I could really use some help His voice was quiet, pained, coughing up a bit of blood, nearly falling over from the lack of so.
She helped the man in, no questions asked, every move, he’d wince with pain, how he made it to her, he had no idea. But he did know, she was his only hope, he knew she was going into nursing when they split, only hoped she still was.
Set down, upon her couch, a light grey that would surely stain, she left him there, headed to fetch a handful of supplies.
