If Only

New Points

(Heads up, I'm attempting to make horrible cat puns during Nepetas dialogue ((bc fuck me if I don't, it'd be a sin basically)) So just in case I'll put little translations by then words that I deem impawsible to understand ;3 .... Yeah, I'll show myself out..... Enjoy!!)

Your name is Nepeta Leigon and you just want your moirail. The meteor is shaking and humming, you can hear screams in the distance and damn, you're just standing there. You're mentally preparing for death and hoping to see Equius again sometime soon. You're sobbing quietly, begging silently for your moirail when you hear someone squeak your name and then a sudden heaviness lands on you before you could turn to see who it was.
      There was a groan of pain then the crash. A violent scream that foretold death was made somewhere near by, but you didn't hear it, your head was smashed into the ground, knocking you out. By the time you woke up, the pressure was gone and you rolled onto your back, whimpering with pain and opening your eyes.
"O-oh.... N-Nepeta you're awake..!" Who was that? You know the voice, but not not enough to put a name to it.
"N-Nepeta..?" Who is it?
"Nepeta, you're s-scaring me.... A-are you ok..?" .... Something with a T....
"Oh... Oh gog..." Ta... Tavo..?
"Please don't be dead, please don't be dead."
"TAVROS..!" that's it! He's your rust blooded friend, who's super shy and nice.
"N-Nepeta..! Thank Gog!" I sat up slowly, careful of my back.
"Tavros, its so good to see mew alive!" I looked at him, he looked horrible. His horns had cracks which were leaking his mud coloured blood, he had rusted bruises all over his face as well. He looked sick and exhausted, what else is missing...? Oh, his legs!
"Tavros, do you mind me asking where your legs are? Or even your wheelchair..?" He shifted nervously.
"O-oh um, they broke in the crash, and my wheelchair is probably broken too..."
"Oh no!" I looked at his horns, they looked so fragile...
"Let's get your horns bandaged, we can start with your care, then go find some ofurr (other) survifurs." He squeaked, surprised.
"Oh..... No.... I'm fine, you should just leave me here, it'd be easier."
"No way! You're my furrend (friend), why would I not help mew?" He fidgeted nervously and tried not to make eye contact.
"I uuuhhh.... I'm J-just a rust blood Nepeta, go find your moirail... I'll just wait h-here..."
"No."
"... W-what...?"
"Mew saved my life! You're hurt and I want to help mew as much as pawsibble!" I didn't give him a chance to reject my declaration to help, I just left and returned with bandages shortly after. He seemed genuinely grateful for my help. I pushed my need to find Equius back, I had a task and that was to get Tavros walking.... More or less. True, part of me wanted to ditch him and search for Equius, I almost did a few times actually. But Tavros needs help, sure he's strong and independent... To an extent.... And he was mostly free to do, or say, what he wanted. But he never refused after that, which I was grateful for.
      I guess I had a bunch of adrenaline from all of the excitement because I didn't feel any pain at all, I didn't actually think about being hurt before Tavros started stuttering about my blood and I was injured. I didn't feel anything, so what was he talking about?  Turns out I had a minor cut across my stomach and upper right arm, they didn't look bad and they weren't going to kill me, they had just been bleeding for a while and sure scared Tavros. Poor guy, he's so strong, but frail and soft at the same time. After a while I felt boredom pick at me so I decided to stop being a sitting duck and go out to find everybody else.
"I'm going to go see if I can find anybody else." I looked at my current companion, just watching his reaction.
"N-Nepeta, I don't think that's safe to do a-alone..!" I smiled to myself, glad I had someone watching out for me.
"I'll be fine, I promise.... I'll come back with something, I purromise (promise)" He had opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it and never said what he was originally going to.
"....o-ok,if you think that's b-best..." I nodded.
"I do, I purromise (promise) to stay safe and come back soon." He nodded timidly and looked away, not saying anything else. I sighed, hoping to find Equius. It was the only reason I was going out and searching. If I could survive, so could he. He was strong and capable of so much, I have no doubts that he's dead.
      How wrong I was.
