RITA

'''“Yea. Ehm. Well uh, when exactly is this sabotage?” Vix asked Aidan.'''

'''“Early tomorrow morning, so get a good night's rest,” Aidan replied. I looked up at Vix and nodded. We both stood up and I went to go walk out the door. Aud followed me apparently and snuck up on me to startle me with a good shoulder shake and a “boo!”'''

'''“AH! Aud! Don’t do that to me!”'''

'''“But it’s funnnyyyyy Rita!” She whined back to me. I scoffed and continued walking. She kept following, and I guessed I was going to get another, “YOUR GOING ON A MISSION WITH VIX,” scream/awful pep talk.'''

'''“Sooooo how are you doing Rita?” She asked. '''

'''Yep. Here it comes, I thought.'''

'''“I’m fine Aud,” I laughed. She huffed.'''

'''“Feel excited about anything?” She pried making her voice go higher. I laughed replying, '''

'''“Oh yaaaaa! I am soooo excited Aud!”'''

“Foooor!?”

“Getting some peaceful SLEEP!” 

'''Aud’s face was the most comical I had ever seen. She had her hands in front of her excited and waiting for my answer, her face all giddy like a child about to get a sucker, and then, it literally melted off her face and her arms fell to her side in exasperation. I laughed and continued walking, hoping she was done following me, but of course she kept going. She was silent until we got to my hut. She presently walked into the corner I kept my box of clothes and looking through them.'''

'''“Uh, Aud? What in Thor’s name are you doing rummaging through my clothes?”'''

“Looking for an outfit.”

“For what?”

“Your mission tomorrow.”

“Uh....I can pick out my own clothes Aud...”

'''“UGH! Your clothes are so plainnnnnn! Be right back!” She said before running out the door. As soon as she left I slammed the door shut locking it. Chuckling to myself I changed into some PLAIN pajamas and plopped into bed. That was my last memory for the night.'''

————————————————————

'''I got up early the next morning and yawned slowly letting myself wake up. I swung my legs over the side of my bed next to Nebbie on the floor.'''

'''“Morning my babyyyy,” I cooed as I crawled next to her onto the floor. She was definitely not an early bird, so I tried to wake her up slowly. I scratched under her chin,'''

'''“We’ve got a mission to go to! Time to get uuuuup!” '''

'''Nebbie rolled her eyes and snorted a puff of smoke at me before starting to turn a shade of reddish-orange. Okay...she was annoyed. I stood up,'''

'''“Okay fine. Ten more minutes while I get ready Miss Prissy Sleep-In, but then we’re going! Okay?”'''

'''Nebbie snorted and then rolled over onto her side. I laughed and then pulled out a random set of my apparently plain clothes, before combing my hair back into a loose bun. Then I opened a cupboard where I kept a bit of food and grabbed a small breakfast before walking over to Nebbie.'''

'''“Mkay princess! Wakey wakey!”'''

'''Nebbie moaned before standing up and following me out the door. Soon I was at the port and Vix, Aidan and I had taken off to the base.'''

————————————————————

'''About a while of flying, we stopped for a break and I sat on a shard while Nebbie took a drink. Vix came and sat next to me sighing, “I really hope I don’t screw this mission up.”'''

'''“Why would you?” You’ll do fine!” I told him. Didn’t we just go over this two nights ago? He threw his hands up in the air,'''

“But I’m a screw up!”

'''“No your not!” I insisted. '''

“Yes I am.”

“No you’re not!”

“Yes I am.”

“No you’re not.”

“Yes I am.”

“Nope!”

“Yep!”

“Nope!”

“I could do this all day Rita,” he finally said.

'''“I could to,” I replied with a grin, “but seriously, your not a screw up. And that’s final!”'''

He made a scared face and I chuckled to myself, gods he looked adorable when he made faces.

'''“Calm down there captain! Don’t get to bossy or I’ll have to shush you!”'''

I started to tease him,

“Oh no! Don’t shush me!” 

He flicked my nose, “Shush.”

'''I pretended to be hurt and he just laughed. That was a good thing, now he was distracted from his “I’m a screw up” mentality, and the mood was lightened. Aidan called for us to go and we set off to keep going to the base.'''

————————————————————

'''“Vix! Vix? Vix! Viiix! Vix!?” I called watching him walk down the hall. I was about to run after him but Aidan called,'''

'''“Rita! We got a big group over here. Come help!” '''

'''I sighed and turned around to go and help Aidan. We quickly rescued a few families and a brother and sister, probably around ten and six. The little girl hugged me quickly before running off after her brother. Aidan ran out the door and I followed him. When we exited the building, Aidan turned to shadow cloud, telling her to fire. Before I realized what was happening the blasts were fired and the building was lit.'''

'''“Aidan no! Wait! Vix is still in there!” I yelled. Aidan stopped shadow-cloud for a minute as I stared at the building in panic. I was about to run in and find him when I saw him stumble off a door to the side. I sighed in relief, until I saw he was covered in wounds.'''

'''“VIX! What happened are you okay!?” I yelled in a panicked voice bolting over to him.'''

“I’m fi-“ He started to say before he fell into the ground unconscious.

'''“VIX!” I screamed running over and sliding to the ground next to him. '''

“Oh Thor, no no no. Vix!” I yelled shaking him.

'''“AIDAN! Vix is down over here! Come help me get him on Nebbie!” I called. Aidan was giving directions to the freed civilians but he shoved the map in one guy’s hand telling him something before running over to me and Vix. '''

“What happened?!” He gasped.

'''“I don’t know, but he’s bleeding real bad,” I answered. Aidan nodded and we both picked him up and hoisted him onto Nebbie. '''

“You get him to a medic, I’m gonna finish up here,” Aidan said.

“Wait though, you don’t have backu-“

'''“I have shadow-cloud AND tumble. If I’m not back in two hours then send someone or something, but I’ll be fine. Go!”'''

'''I nodded and then took off. The nearest medic was ten minutes away, so I kept myself busy trying to stabilize Vix AND keep him from falling off nebbie. When we finally got there I ran alongside his stretcher as he was taken down the hall.'''

“Will he be alright!?” I asked the nurses.

'''“Sorry Miss no time,” the said before I was shoved aside as they ran down the hall. I just stood there mostly in shock watching them disappear into a room. I stumbled over to a nearby bench and put my head in my hands. Letting out a few shaky breaths and a couple tears I muttered,'''

“Good Thor that boy just can’t stay outta trouble.” 

Nearly a whole hour later, the doctor and a couple nurses finally walked out of the room I saw Vix wheeled into.

“Uh sir,” I said standing up and walking over to him, “er, Doctor, how is he?” 

“Are you family?”

“No...”

“Then I’m sorry I can’t answer that question.”

'''I stared in disbelief before I remembered, well duh, we are guardians. We have medical rights like this.'''

“But Vix is a guardian.”

“I know...I saw the badge on him, but I can’t say anything unless you are a guar-“

'''I cut him off by pulling out my badge and holding it up for him to see. '''

'''“Oh I see. I’m sorry my dear. He’s got a few nasty gashes, but he should be alright. However I am worried about that shoulder of his. He won’t be able to use it for at least a week before he can get back to-whatever you guys are doing these days.”'''

'''“Noted. Thanks Doctor. May I see him?”'''

'''“Alright,” he nodded. I turned to quietly open the door and walked in. Most of the blood had been washed off him, so he looked a lot better. I walked over and sat on his bed, weaving my hand into his. He stirred and then opened his eyes, looking around him quizzically. Then he seemed to realize where he was and a small grin crept across his face,'''

“Told you I would screw it up.” 

I smiled shaking my head,

'''“Good Thor Vix. Just don’t do that again.”'''

“No promises.”

I smiled and then asked,

“Well, how are you feeling?”

“My shoulder really hurts...”

“Yea that’s your worst wound...You wanna tell me what happened in there?” 

Vix sighed, “I saw the man that killed my father...”

My grip tightened on his hand as I looked at him in concern.

'''“So I went after him. I killed him, but it wasn’t easy...”'''

'''“Oh I see...” I answered. The way he ended it seemed to make it known that he didn’t want to discuss it anymore, so I stood up to poor a glass of water from the jug on the table opposite to the bed.'''

“Thirsty?”

'''“Very.” He answered as I handed him the cup. He drank it and then the doctor walked in. '''

'''“Oh good. Your awake. I was going to stop in and let you know that you should be good to go in a couple hours. But please don’t use that arm for a week. Otherwise it could keep you out for longer.”'''

'''Vix sighed and I shot him a “say okay to the doctor” look. He gave me the stink eye and then said, “Okay.” '''

'''The doctor smiled and then left the room. I turned to face Vix,'''

'''“Hey, at least it’s not two weeks! Besides it’s not that hard to occupy yourself. Especially with all the fighting going on, we could probably still have you do plenty of stuff at the base.” '''

'''“Yea...I guess,” he sighed. '''



'''“Woah! What happened to you guys?” Aud said as we entered the clubhouse. I helped Vix limp in while Aidan put the dragons in the stables.'''

'''“Vix got a few bad blows during the sabotage mission…” I replied. Vix sat down and I walked over to the smirking Aud, flicking her forehead with a look that said “shush.” I slumped onto the chair sighing while we made plans for the rumored attack tomorrow. Kate, Michal, Isla, Kat and the recruits had done a pretty good job at holding off the first wave while Vix, Aidan and I had conducted the sabotage mission, but we knew Harn wasn’t done. More was to come and none of us were looking forward to it. '''

 

'''When the meeting was over, Aud turned to me, “Alright sis. Let's hear the details.”'''

“Of?” 

“Your mission of course!”

“Aud it was a normal mission!”

“Vix had to go into the hospital though!”

'''“Exactly! Normal! A guardian always ends up in the hospital after this stuff. You know that!”'''

'''Aud sighed, “Touche, but stiiiiiill. Its Vix! What. Happened. Between. You. Two?!”'''

'''“NOTHING Aud!” I rolled my eyes and turned to get up and say goodnight to the others. I walked over to Vix,'''

“You all good?”

'''“Yea I’ll be fine.” I felt Aud’s eyes upon me so I cut it short and said, “Alright! Good then, see you tomorrow.”'''

“Yep...bye…”

'''Then I shot a look at Aud’s smirking face and called “G’night everyone,” before walking out the door for some sleep. '''
