A Damsel In Distress - Part 4

'I f*cking bet she's suffering from hallucinations!'

Maya clenched her fists for a second before taking Raven into her arms, in a princess carry, and running back to the group.

The silver girl followed again while holding the baby tightly. 'Why wouldn't they explain what's happening!' She complained in her mind. 'Crimson-purple girl tell me what's happening please!'

"RAIN!!" Maya yelled while running towards the group.

A few seconds later and Rain was already treating Raven, as she was in Maya's arms.

"How are you feeling?" Rain asked her with a worried expression. 'Her eyes keep darting from me to Maya, then to the rest of the group.

'Her head is constantly swaying as if she's just awoken from a car crash, even though it's almost unnoticeable it's still not a good sign' Rain analysed in her mind.

"Dizzy..." Raven said weakly. 'Kayla, please answer me...'

She's been trying to talk to Kayla the moment she's returned back to normal, yet to no avail.

She didn't know how or what happened that had caused her to turn back into a boy again, albeit an elf boy. But she knew something went terribly wrong there.

Unbeknownst to her, her elf ears hadn't reverted back to their human form yet, nor did her deep red eyes.

'Kayla? Pleae give me a sign!' She was worried sick about her. Even though their start wasn't the best, Kayla had never given up on her and had always been there with and for her.

'I know I've been an a*shole but I'm so sorry! Please come back, I'll always treat you with the respect you deserve!' she yelled in her head as tears streamed down her feverish cheeks.

'Please, I beg of you... don't go...

'You're not just a voice in my head, you're my consciousness! I need you...' she screamed in her head.

"Hey what's wrong dear?" asked Maria as she cupped Raven's face in one of her open palms and wiped the tears away with the other. "Please tell me what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

'My heart and soul!' Raven wanted to yell, but she hasn't told anyone about Kayla yet and she didn't think now was the best of times.

"I'm sorry, it doesn't hurt that much. It's just that I think I'm daydreaming, err, like having a day-nightmare..." Raven actually said with a half smile, trying to cover the despair in her voice.

Although she wasn't lying about having a nightmare while she was awake, she was lying when it came down to the pain part.

The pain in her heart wasn't compared to that headache assaulting her, but still her head was pulsing like a nuclear bomb.

Emotions hit her from every angle and corner of her mind, she was lost without even a destination to look for.

'If Kayla ended up leaving like the other voices-' however she didn't get to finish that thought.

"My healing abilities only work on injuries or abnormalities." Rain said in disappointment. " I'm sorry but I don't think she'll recover in less than an hour at least. I've started the healing process but the hallucinations will still take a while to fade away."

The hallucinations were a natural effect fever had on the brain cells as it would cause confusion and sometimes random firing of neural signals that lead to fake images, voices, and even memories.

The fever itself can't be removed instantly because that would require freezing Raven, which will most definitely kill her. Waiting was the only option they had.

"tch," the silver girl clicked her tongue irritated. At first she thought the friends of the crimson-purple haired girl were trying to help her, but after a while of them arguing together rather than giving her some help, she concluded that they're all idiots.

She knew they weren't faking because their expressions were way too sincere.

"Fuuu~"

'If crimson-purple trusted them, then I can...' she thought to herself as she took a deep breath to calm herself down a little bit.

"Here, little white thing," she called out to Maya in her own language as she handed her the little baby.

"Eh?" Maya was surprised yet she complied and held the baby carefully in her arms. 'It's... really light,' she thought to herself.

"Promise you'll take care of her!" the girl demanded.

Maya didn't understand a word but she felt like nodding was the way, and that she did.

Striding towards Raven on the ground, the girl took off the top of her kimono, surprising everyone.

Joey accepted Camilla's previous offer as he fainted a second time. (AN: refer to the previous chapter.)

"Eh? What are-" Rain wanted to cut her off but the girl put a finger on her forehead prompting her to stay quiet.

The gesture was the equivalent of humans putting a finger on their mouths to signal a "shut up please" to someone else.

Rain didn't say anything, but watched intently as Raven's dizzy eyes fell on the two huge silver melons, promoting her to focus instantly at every jiggle and move they took as the girl got closer to her.

Her fever was by no means getting any better, quite the contrary.

The girl approached her and said quietly, "Please drink this, it'll make you more focused and energise you, it's a little thank you for giving me food." she finished with a soft smile that nobody could see as their eyes were a bit too busy.

Of course the others didn't understand a word anyway, still, they all watched in 'the slow motion illusion' of their minds as the girl held Raven by her shoulder, sitting her on her lap.

Raven's current form was lighter than one would expect, but the girl retained her composure.

She pushed gently Raven's burning face into her ample bosom, "Drink!" she said in a low yet assertive voice.

Raven was just like a bay in her arms, and so like a baby she acted.

*Flash-Snap!*

"..."

"Oi Maya! What are you doing?" Maria asked, slowly, still confused by what she was watching.

"Taking a picture? To save the memory?" Maya said with a bright red face as she held her phone for Maria to see.

"Ah, make sure to send it to me ok?" Maria said, her eyes still unmoving. Maria wasn't looking at the silver breasts in lust, but just with curiousity and appreciation.

'Runing with these must be a hassle," she thought to herself.

"For sure." Maya replied as she stored multiple pictures. "uhm,' as if happy about a job well done, she nodded and sent one to Maria.

"OH MY GODDDDD!!!!!"

A few seconds into the scene and Raven was already up on one of the nearby trees. She's managed to jump so fast the the silver girl didn't understand what had happened.

"I can't believe I was sucking on..." thinking about what she's just done, her face turned bright red as she stood still on the top of the tree.

"Is she gonna faint again?" Camilla asked as the others nodded in unison.

However, rather than fainting, she was just so embarrassed and... some other feelings that she didn't care to explain.

However, she instantly got an idea of what she's just drunk.

"It's like coffee... caffeine?" she said in realisation. The energy she got and the urge to go to a washroom, it was like dumping a gallon of energy drinks straight into her stomach.

[Hey, Raven you've consumed a lot of caffeine. Even though humans drink it regularly, it's still poisonous. You sh-]

"Kayla!" she yelled loudly in surprise and excitement.

The others heard her but didn't understand who she was calling for, or why for that matter.

'Where have you been!??' Raven asked in her mind. 'I missed you so much!'

"Err, please come down lil Rav-"

ROOOAAARRRR!!!

Before Maria could finish her sentence or Kayla start her own, a loud explosion of a roar deafened them as monsters started to flood them like a mad ocean.
