Don't Fault Them

"Hold still."

Camelia pressed Trevor's leg down firmly while Aldrich worked on removing the arrow lodged in his flesh.

"You try having an arrow stuck through your leg and try to remain calm," Trevor yelled, his voice muffled by Fiona's hand pressed against his mouth, attempting to keep him quiet.

"Here it goes!"

Aldrich's voice cut through the tension as he braced himself and yanked the arrow free, in one swipe.

Trevor's face contorted in agony, his body tense and trembling, fighting the pain as a scream bubbled up.

The sound of his terrorizing scream was smothered by Fiona's hand, her grip firm to keep him under control.

The moment the arrow was out, blood began pouring from the wound in torrents, staining the ground below them.

Aldrich acted quickly, placing his hand over the gaping wound, trying to staunch the bleeding.
