Lili relaxed her wings making it easier for Darren to take a look at the wound.

Gold Dusk frouned. "I'll go get some water so we can clean her up." He picked up a bucket and headed to the creek.

" Lili darling i'm sorry but i have to tear yor shirt." she said before ripping it. she gasped as the gaping wound.

Gold Dusk returned quickly and set the bucket down next to Meriana. "Do you think you can help her love, or go you want me to get the Old one?"

" i think i can help her." she said with confidence.
she took a cloth and dipped it into the water and started to clean Lili's wounds. she turned the herbs into paste and put the salve onto her back. " it should heal soon. " she said puting the bandages on.
she sighed and looked at Lili. " what happend? what really happend?" she asked.

"He was upset with me ..." Lili said turning her head so that her answer was muffled by her arms.

"Meriana ... there are so many times I have wished to be human ... I can't make him love me, I know that ... but ..." She turned her head away from Meriana.

"Why was she upset about Cloudya?" Gold Dusk asked a little suprised by his answer.
