When Life Bites Back

I've. Just. Been. Shot.

I think I'm on the ground. The world seems woozy, is that just me? I clutch my hip. My hand pulls away...wait. There's no blood. Where's the blood? I ran into the corner of that freaking table at, like, 1000 mph. At least, that's what it feels like. 

Curling in on myself, I wait for the pain to slowly fade. The cool floor feels kinda nice. Despite how hard it is. Maybe I could just stay here...sleep. Yes, sleep. A sudden pain jolts through my back.

"Fudge nuggets! Ember! What are you doing on the floor?!"

"I was shot. Just let me die in peace."

It takes a few seconds for Lys to understand.

"Table get you?"

"Yeah, came out of nowhere."

"Sucker. You might want to get out of the way though. Next time I might kick you on purpose."

"What a kind and benevolent sister you are."

I roll to my hands and knees. In a lerching lope I crawl my way to the living room. Despite the effort it takes I lift myself onto the couch, collapsing.
