[centre][b][h1][color=tan]Cody[/color][/h1][/b] [color=tan]"I have to be able to protect him..."[/color] [hr][hr] [@blackpanther][@Vicier][@december][@YoshiSkittlez][/centre] [hr][hr] Despite Aron's assurances tht he was oky, Cody couldn't help but check him over, giving his hand a squeeze when Aron took it, relieved that Aron was okay. He reached out to run his free hand to over Aron's bruised face, the marks marring Aron's handsome face. [color=tan]"I know, but I still wish I could have done something..."[/color] He said softly, wanting to soothe away the bruises, as if his touch could heal the ghastly injuries. He hated to see Aron hurt so. As the hospital-or the emergancy department-seemed to fill with their friends screams, Cody grimaced, wanting to go check, if not for him, then for Aron's sake. They didn't know if Gage was alright, and Cody was sure that Aron was worried about his twin.And then there was Syleste...the others...Shifting, Cody pulled himself up in Aron's bed, carefully so as not to harm Aron, wrapping his arms around him, and tenderly hugging him. As if he could protect Aron simply by keeping him warm in his arms. There was some small relief as Cassie came in with Sebastian, the latter appearing to be more torn up then Cassie, although Cassie appeared to have a bandage on her hand, one on her shoulder, and blood on her clothes that showed hidden injuries from her albeit torn up clothes, probably from the wolves attack. Glad that two of their friends were okay, Cody said to Aron softly [color=tan]"Gage will be okay..."[/color] It seemed like Cody's words had made Gage appear, as Cassandra's father appeared carrying Syleste-Cody was glad to see that Syleste seemed to be mostly okay-she had to be, didn't she? If she was being moved...it meant she wasn't about to die, right? And then Gage appeared, absolutely furious, accussing Xerxes of hurting Syleste, as if he had forgotten about the wolf attack. For a brief moment, he recognised the need to protect and do something when the one you loved beyond all else was hurt. He looked to Aron, sighing softly. He didn't know what was going on, but if they were all being gathered here, then...maybe they would find out.He was beginning to think that what had happened to them wasn't normal. His broken leg no longer hurt, and that didn't seem to be...right. And The cut Aron had on his forehead had closed up. And his friends-most of them except for Syleste and Sebastian-didnt seem to have as much blood as they should. [color=tan]"See? If he's anger, then he's okay"[/color] Cody said in a light tone to Aron, as if trying to make light out of what was going on, but mostly to maybe get a smile out of Aron again.
