chapter thirteen; real-life fruit ninja

   "Whatever," Jack mumbled as he shook his head, his dark hair falling across his face. "Three," Jack started the countdown, holding up an orange mockingly. "Two... one!"

   Launching the orange at them, Jack wasted no time in hurling a multitude of different fruits their way. Raf watched wide-eyed, pausing in eating his pineapple to watch the girls chop up the fruits alike to psychopaths.

   "Hi-yah!" Miko cried as she and Torryn went crazy with swinging the knives and cutting fruit at scary rates.

   It was as if the girls were taking out all their frustrations on the fruit (which they were). Miko's host-parent's kitchen which was once pristine and spotless was now painted with different fruity colors and intestines. They would no doubt throw a fit once they came home to this mess.

   "How the hell can you guys even cut fruit this fast?" Jack asked, shaking his head in astonishment at the girls acting as if they truly were ninjas.

   "I was raised in Japan, you think I didn't study Kung-Fu?" Miko scoffed.

   "You studied Kung-Fu and didn't tell us?"

   "Yeah, I studied it for like... eleven years, I'm practically a ninja!" Miko boasted with a laugh, chopping fruit at the speed of light causing even Torryn to gape at her.

   "Holy shit--OW!" Torryn suddenly howled in pain, dropping the knife as she quickly brought her wrist to her lips.

   Torryn's eyes filled with tears of frustration, the girl mumbling extreme profanities while sucking on her wound which hurt like hell.

   "Oh my god!" Jack panicked stopping his fruit-throwing at once, racing to Torryn's side.

"Hey, I was winning!" Miko complained while begrudgingly placing her own knife on the counter.

"Miko!" Raf scolded, but did not dare to look at Torryn's profusely bleeding wound which was gushing red.

   He never was good with anything medical.

   Torryn turned away from Jack's prying hands and concerned face.

   "Fucking hell!" Torryn shrieked in such a loud tone that all three of her friends cringed.

   Holy hell did Torryn want to do nothing more than scream at the moment, but that would not be good for anyone.

   Bringing her wrist out of her mouth as the metallic bloody taste became too much, Torryn clutched her wrist as a string of curses fell from her lips. Pacing around, Jack and Miko attempted to get Torryn to calm down while the girl only ignored them.

   "Let me see it!" Jack finally managed to stop Torryn, forcefully grabbing her hurt arm and bringing it to his examining eyes.

   Jack was no doctor, but his mom was a nurse meaning he knew a thing or two about first aid.

   Whimpering in pain, Torryn bit her lip to stop herself from screaming. Jack's eyes widened along with Miko's who was standing on her tip-toes to peek around Jack's taller form. Thankfully, Raf still refused to look as if he did, he probably would have passed out.

   Torryn wanted to pass out at the sight of her profusely bleeding wrist, a deep gash located diagonally running from the length of her hand all the way to her mid-forearm.

   Oh yeah, that definitely was going to need stitches.

    "Oh my gosh!" Raf had barely caught sight of it and yet it was enough for him to be panicking. "You're going to die, Torryn. She needs to go to the hospital!"
