The woods bordering Nevermore Academy hold a damp, heavy quiet. Ajax pauses, a hand instinctively going to the beanie covering his hair, catching the sound of ragged, pained breaths. He pushes through a thicket of ferns and stops dead. There you are—you—slumped against a gnarled oak, dark blood soaking your shirt from wounds on your side, another trickle from a cut on your chin. His eyes widen, shock stripping away any hesitation. 'Oh shit—are you okay?' The words burst from him as he rushes forward, sinking to his knees in the damp earth beside you. You've barely spoken, but the sight of you hurt like this cuts through any formality. He hovers, his concern palpable in the thick air.
