ベラミス - The Blue Snow story - her love adventure (8)

Chapter 8 Lizard attacks again

Blue Snow lied on a bed of dried grass, and her mother Penelie gently washed the wounds gently.

"Aarrhh" Blue Snow groaned as Penelie put a pad soaked in the juices of the herb on her.

"Hold still..." Penelie said gently.

After that Penelie put bandages on Blue Snow.

"Mother...thank you.." Blue Snow said softly.

Penelie looked at Blue Snow and gazed into her blue eyes - Blue Snow's eyes glittered.

"Just rest..." Penelie smiled. Nako peeked in, and meowed.

"Nako..." Blue Snow smiled, and Nako crouched beside Blue Snow.

Kugo peeked in.

"Kugo..." Blue Snow tried to get up..."Arrhhh"

"No..you cannot move... or you will tear open you wounds..." Penelie gently push Blue Snow back, and had her lying down.

"I will go out and leave you guys..." Penelie smiled.

Kugo came in with Idina, and the two sat beside Blue Snow. He stroked Nako gently, and said, "You worried about your mommy ?"

Nako purred.

Idina hugged Blue Snow's neck, and said, "Idina is sad when you are hurt...I want you to be my mommy..."

Blue Snow blushed, she then gently hugged Idina, and smiled, "...I am OK....don't kid me..."

Blue Snow looked at Kugo, and his face was red.

"I am sorry...you got injured for me..." Kugo said.

"It's OK....we are fighting together....." Blue Snow continued.

"You should rest well.... you are wounded seriously..." Kugo said.

Blue Snow closed her eyes, and Kugo placed a small quilt made of goat's wool over her.

As Blue Snow fell asleep, Idina slept beside her and wanted to quitely use her Galaxy Energy to heal Blue Snow's wounds.

"Don't over do it... or others will know your powers..." Kugo whispered.

Idina winked.

Then they heard Blue Snow murmured, "Ma..ma.." and before Idina could use her Galaxy Energy Penelie peeked in.

She touched Blue Snow's forehead.

"She's having a fever..." Penelie said.

Penelie gently took the bandages off Blue Snow's chest, there were pus coming out of her wounds.

Penelie told Kugo, "Get some water...cold...from the well..."

Kugo nodded.

Penelie gently use the wet clothes to clean Blue Snow's wounds as Blue Snow was lying there in a fever.

"A fever...?" Kugo thought. Belamis was supposed to be a cyborg, and she never even got sick. Kugo was a bit dumbfounded.

Then they saw the pus turned dark green - the claws of the lizard had poison on it, Blue Snow's body was reacting to the poison.

"Ma..ma..." Blue Snow murmured, and she opened her eyes.

"Dear... mother is here..." Penelie gently put a wet cloth over Blue Snow's forehead.

Blue Snow gazed at her mother's blue eyes - same blue eyes like herself.

"You are strong girl... you will be well..." Her mother encouraged Blue Snow.

Blue Snow nodded. On her chest was a large crystal, shape of a tear drop, and Blue Snow placed her hand on it.

"We have to leave the bandages off first... and let the pus discharge..." Penelie said.

"You know ways of healing ?" Kugo asked.

"A bit... Idina, can you help cleaning her wounds?" Penelie asked.

Idina nodded. She helped to moisten the clothes, and Penelie gently wiped Blue Snow's wounds.

Kugo gently held Blue Snow's hands, "Belamis.... you are still so kind and brave...."

"Mother... you did not sleep?" Blue Snow said softly.

"I stayed up...you are wounded seriously... your dressings on your wounds have to be changed..." Penelie said.

Blue Snow said softly, "I...I..."

"Dear... it is OK... we are a family..." Penelie gently touched Blue Snow, and she placed new dressings on Blue Snow's wounds.

Kugo watched all and was touched.

Penelie stayed up all night and she tended Blue Snow wounds.

The next morning, Kugo realized he had not answer the call from Earth. He ran back to his craft.

"What takes you so long to answer!!???" Medora said.

"Everyone is worried!" Nick added.

"I am sorry. I ..kind of tied up..." Kugo replied.

"With Belamis..." Medora added, but she understood.

"We are calling you so urgently because we have to tell you this..." Dr. Joey said.

"Kugo. Those large raptors you and Belamis met are artificially created...  they are not natural.." Dr. Kitty said.

"If Belamis cannot transform and recover her memory and fight with you... I am afraid..." Professor Dodge said.

"Recover her memory...?" Kugo remarked.

"What ?" Medora asked.

"Let's wait..." Kugo replied.

"Wait ?" Dr. Kitty asked.

"I ..I will call back .." Kugo just signed off.

Kugo headed back to the village and back to Blue Snow's hut.

The Kugp saw Toto, Mimi and Penelie with Blue Snow. Naka sat beside Blue Snow.

Kugo watched Blue Snow with her mother, and also Toto and Mimi. Then he saw Idina hugging her.

"She is happy...now and as she is..." Kugo thought.

Kugo heard the laughter of Blue Snow, and inside Kugo's heart Blue Snow was Belamis - now living as Blue Snow, happy and loved by her family.

"No..... " The thought of restoring the memory of Belamis, and to change Blue Snow back to Belamis, taking her away from all this peaceful and happiness, facing dangers, monsters...and most of all torture... was unthinkable to Kugo.

"Blue Snow.. or Belamis..." Kugo looked - to him it made no difference at all. Kugo loved Blue Snow and Belamis.

"Blue Snow!" Kugo ran to her.

"Kugo ..." Blue Snow hugged Kugo.

"Aren't you suppose to rest ?" Kugo asked.

Idina walked to Kugo and tugged  his garment.

Kugo got the hint. In the night Idina managed to use her Galaxy Energy on Blue Snow.

"Be careful though..." Kugo said gently.

"The wounds are not hurting.." Blue Snow replied.

In Kugo's mind he was worried. If those large raptors were not nature...where did they come from ?

Penelie came and she was carrying meals.

"Mother!!" Blue Snow ran foward.

Then Penelie fell.

She was exhausted after staying up a whole night.

Blue Snow held Penelie in her arms.

"I am alright..." Penelie smiled, and touched Blue Snow's face.

"I will find you the cure!" Blue Snow said.

Penelie looked at Blue Snow's sapphire eyes, and said, "Don't worry...."

Blue Snow gently placed her mother on a bed of grass, and they began eating together.

Kugo watched, and finally decided. He would not make any attempt to restore Belamis' memory...and he would stay at this planet with her.

"Wherever you are..whoever you call yourself...whatever you do..." Kugo thought, "...you are still the dearest to me... Belamis... or Blue Snow..."

Toto and Mimi came with Idina, and whispered to Kugo.

"What ?" Kugo said.

"Tomorrow's is Blue Snow's birthday!"

Kugo was baffled, then again he thought, "...does it matter... if I loved her..."

The next day, Blue Snow got up early.

Idina slept with Blue Snow, and when Blue Snow was asleep, Idina used her Galaxy Energy to make Blue Snow better.

Blue Snow felt all the wounds on her was not hurting a bit.

"Mother..." Blue Snow walked to her mother's hut, and Penelie was there.

"Blue Snow... why are you up so early ?"

"I feel well ..and strong.." Blue Snow smiled.

"I will fetch you the water and the breakfast!" Blue Snow said. Blue Snow went out and brought water and breakfast.

Blue Snow served the breakfast to Penelie.

"Thanks..." Penelie said.

"Mother..." Blue Snow remarked. In Blue Snow's mind, her mother matters most.

Kugo was outside with Idina and the others.

"Those raptors could come any minute.." Kugo thought. Then he saw Kaydo around.

"Hey!! Kaydo?" Kugo hailed him.

"Yeah?" Kaydo turned. His look was not all that enthusiastic.

"The large lizards..." Kugo said.

"What do you want ?" Kaydo replied.

"We have to at least make sure they won't attack..."

"I know you have a crush on Blue Snow... relax... I will make sure she is not harmed.." Kaydo replied.

"Gosh.. love triangle..." Kugo thought.

"Sure... Blue Snow has to be safe.... what do you suggest we do ?" Kugo smiled.

Kaydo was a bit surprised at Kugo's friendliness and said, "Well... er.... we can each lead a patrol time like we did before..."

"Yes... you are right.." Kugo said.

"Then we can guard this village..." Kaydo continued.

Toto and Mimi listened, and giggled.

Kugo replied, "Let's do it..." He winked at Toto, Mimi and Idina.

The kids got the message.

They went into Penelie's hut.

"Blue Snow!!!" The kids yelled, and they huddled round Blue Snow.

"What is it...?" Blue Snow said.

Penelie smiled, and said, "It's so nice to have little children around..."

Blue Snow smiled.

Kugo heard the happy laughter and thought, "yes... Belamis... stay there..."

Blue Snow then thought, "Where's Kugo ?"

She stood up, "Where's Kugo ?" Blue Snow went out looking for Kugo.

Kugo and Kaydo were at separate patrols.

Kugo stayed alert, and he looked around.

Then there's a hiss sound.

"Could it be them ?" Kugo's guess was soon confirmed.

There were at least thirty of those large raptors. came surrounding Kugo and his patrol  party!

"Up to the tree!!" Kugo shouted, as he welded his pole to those giant lizards.

The Kugo heard a loud cry.

"Belamis!" Kugo thought.

It was Blue Snow with her bow and arrows, sword and spear.

Blue Snow shot many arrows at the raptors. Blue Snow aimed at their hind legs with her big bows, and she shot at least ten of those giant raptors.

"Be..Blue Snow!" Kugo yelled.

"Kugo! Aim at those legs! Once their hind legs are hurt, we can get them!" Blue Snow shouted.

All the men threw their spears and shot their arrows at the large raptors' hind legs.

In no time, all of them were wounded and could not move, and the men finished them off with their swords.

Blue Snow leaped to Kugo's tree and hugged him.

Kugo was startled.

Blue Snow kissed Kugo.

The next morning, just as Blue Snow woke up...

"Happy Birthday!!!" Mimi, Toto, Idinia, Penelie and Kugo showed up at Blue Snow's hut and presented her with a cake!

Blue Snow was immensely touched.

Kugo saw that.

"Belamis..." Kugo went forward and hugged Blue Snow.
