Larion - Part 9

"…Luna! Luna!"

I heard a distant voice calling me, slowly becoming clearer as I woke up from the darkness where my consciousness left me. The moment I felt it returning, my head immediately hurt, and my whole body felt as if it was going to break anytime soon.

"She's not waking up," another voice chimed in, and it was from the only woman among the other two men. "Is she even breathing? We should force the air into her if she's not. You do it," she said, pushing the person in question.

"What?! Are you crazy?! I can't kiss her! Luke will kill—no, Lisa will kill me!"

"I doubt they would rather she die than have you kiss her," Maggie replied to Andrew's unwillingness, her voice calm yet demanding. "And it's called mouth-to-mouth, not kissing." 

"Jack, you do it! You don't have a mate, so—" he stopped mid-sentence, only to realize that he had accidentally said a taboo word. "Shit, I mean—uh… I-I will do it!"
