Black Rose near shot up when she heard him breath and rolled him over to listen if he had a heartbeat. Which he did and cause her to cry even more. "C-Chase.. your alive!" She sobbed and placed her head against his. "Oh my god I thought you were dead!" Her voice was cracking with her sobs and heartbreak as she thought he was dead. "You.. Your weren't breathing and- and-" she couldn't finish her sentence.

Chase chuckled slightly, it was an exhausted rasp, but still a chuckle "I-I was with my parents, they told me that I must leave, I didn't understand at first but... I had to leave."

Black Rose looked down. "O-oh.." Her ears and head both lowered as she whimpered. "I'm sorry." Her voice was barely more than a whisper.

"Not your fault, I needed to be here with you!" Chase smiled with a wag.

Black Rose smiled and licked his nose. "I'm glad you're back. I missed you."

"Yeah, I missed you too.. I couldn't have just left you, plus we'll all have our time at some point, mine isn't right now" Chase winced as he remembered that he had hit his head.

Black Rose stood up and smiled. She picked him up and placed him on her back. "Don't complain. You're injured." She said and touched his nose with her own. "And I don't like seeing you injured." She didn't like knowing he died. Or that he came back for her. Why didn't he go with his parents? She wondered. I'm not that great.. Plus he wouldn't get hurt anymore if he wasn't here.

Chase grumbled but he didn't object as he was carried back to his camp, "We do have a healer, his den is right beside mine" he yawned.

Black Rose smiled as her tail wagged a little at the sight of him not wanting to move. She was happy he trusted her enough to carry him. "Okay." She said and picked up the pace, getting to his camp within a few more minutes and looked around for the healer's den, as well as the healer.

The healer came out of the den and rushed over, his golden eyes wide, "What happened?" He dropped a mouthful of healing herbs and began to pack them into Chase's wound.
