Part Twenty: Injured?

"How is your sister doing?" Sky asked as she put her sword down, but she still had her guard up just in case they attack.

"She was doing better, but then last week, she fell ill again," Felix replied, "I want you to help her and cure her."

Sky looks at him, "Felix, I want to help you and cure her, but I can't. I can only give her medicine that could help her and help her fight off the illness."

Felix looks back at her. His facial expression changed into anger and betrayal. "You don't have a choice. My sister is the only real family I have besides my bandit family. I'm only a bandit because of my sister. I want her to live well and not be poor like how I grew up until she was born."

Sky put her sword back up. "Felix, you can't do this. You don't have to do this. You can go to my aunts and have her help your sister. She'd understand and help you and her. She might even tell your sister stay with her until she's fully cured and you can probably stay with her when you're not doing bandit things," she replied. Sky was saying the truth. She knows that her aunt would help them and care for them.

Felix didn't believe her. He ran up to her and held his sword to her throat. Felix had pressed his sword hard into her throat to where if she moved an inch, she'd get cut. "No, I want you to help her. I don't want anyone else to help her," he stated.

"Felix, I understand, but my aunt was the one who made the medicine for your sister last time. I was just the delivery girl. I mean sure I could tell you want you would need to do for almost anything, but when it comes to medicine, I don't really know a lot about it," she said as she looked at him in the eyes, "I would help your sister in a heartbeat, but I don't know what I would do."

Felix pushed the sword more into her throat to where it would cut the top few layers of skin, but nothing deeper. "Sky, I only trust you."

"Felix-" she said as she could feel some of her blood run down her neck. Sky looked at him with tears in her eyes.
