I breathed heavily as exhaustion caught up to me. The knife in my gut, the wound on my back as well as my thigh didn't help much. I didn't have time to think about that as the goblin stared at me.
I turned my body to the right in an attempt to dodge. My side was cut by the knife but that didn't stop me from stabbing at the goblin. It lowered it's body and stepped towards me. It lunged at me with it's knife going for my throat.
I got it's knife arm with my free hand knocking it off it's trajectory. Despite this it cut the side of my neck. I tried to ignore the pain as I brought my arm back landing a hit across it's face. It didn't have much power but gave me a small grace period as it's head was knocked to the side.
I stabbed it's side with my knife causing it to grunt in pain. I remembered something as I punched it's jaw. It didn't go down like I wanted though. It stepped back as I tried to stab it's side again and stabbed my arm instead. I let out a low grunt as it punched towards my face. The punch landed on my cheek and my head turned slightly.
It hurt but not enough to stop me from grabbing it's outstretched arm. I yelled as I pulled it towards me and stabbed it in the chest. I roughly stabbed upwards managing to miss the ribs and hit the heart. It froze and soon died.
That's when something pierced my back and I knew it was a knife.
" AH, GET OFF ME! "
I spun around as the goblin held on tightly. I grabbed it's arms and tried to pry them off but then it snuck it's teeth into my arm. I managed to hit my back into a nearby wall. I pressed down with all my weight hoping the goblin would let go.
That's when someone came to my side and a resounding *thm* was heard. I quickly dislodged it's nails from my back and stabbed it in the throat with little resistance. I looked at it as I held the wall for support.
Something touched my shoulder and I quickly turned with my hands ready to block the knife of a goblin. Yet instead I was met with the hand of a older man. Seemingly in his 40's.

I took his hand.
" Thank you. "
" Let's go. "
I followed him with blurry vision and heavy steps. I didn't want to fall behind as I wouldn't last much longer alone. I couldn't remember anything as I stumbled by. I was to focused on not losing him. Eventually we arrived at a house and he quickly opened the door and let me inside before closing it once more.
I leaned against the wall and slide down. I was sweating heavily. The wound of my back was aggravated as I had just slide down the wall and the actions from before.
I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. It's something I had done often after being tried from running. I heard the door open again and along with footsteps before it closed again. The minutes ticked by as my tiredness slowly took over and before I knew it I fell asleep.
" Emmm. "
I was shaken awake as I was confused and disoriented.
" Where am I? "
" I took you here after we took down some of those goblins. After I left you here and came back you were asleep. I brought a doctor here to take a look at your wounds. "
It took me a little to connect the dots. I looked behind him and there was a man with a lab coat on he seemed disheveled and his breaths were quick.
" I'm Doctor Terkel I'll examine your wounds and do what I can for you. "
He had what you would expect a doctor to have on. A white coat and he had glasses. In addition to this there were blood stains on the white coat. He did seem to have a bag full of medical supplies and other things. His brown hair and lean physique made it obvious he worked out.
I turned to the guy who helped me before. He had a slightly protruding stomach and his arms were big. He had little hair and mean look in his eyes.
" What's your name? " I ask the guy who helped me.
" My name is Track. I'm gonna rest for a little before going back out. After you get better you can join me. Terkel's killed a couple of those fuckers already so you can count on him. Despite how he may look. " Terkel nodded and continued to look at my wounds. Track into a room and closed the door behind him.
" Can you lay down for me? Also tell me about your wounds. "
I felt a bit weak but I started to move my body with him helping me.
" A knife wound on my stomach. A knife wound on my back. One of them bit my arm and dug their nails into my right thigh. The cut on my neck and cheek I believe. Cut on my left side. I think there's more but I feel a little light headed. A punch? "
Thinking about it know I had a lot of different wounds on my body. The possibility of death crossed my mind.
" You've lost a lot of blood. The blood has started to clot. I'm not sure what was on what cut you and bite wounds are particularly nasty. I'll need to make sure your wounds don't get infected. This is gonna hurt so get ready. "
