Insult to Injury [P]

Postby SpringsSong » 08/30/2009 6:28 PM

"Nurse Erica, please report to the ER.  Nurse Erica, please report to the ER."

The Common Kuhna nurse looked up from her clipboard as her name was said over the loudspeaker.  I wonder what they need this time...?  They never call me to the ER.  They must really need an extra set of hands for... something.  What do they even do in the ER? she wondered, standing up and moving down the hall with such ease that most of the regular nurses were convinced that she wasn't just an intern that needed a way to pay for college.

However, as her heels clacked against the floor, Erica couldn't help but wonder what went on in the ER.  She was just a wait-room nurse; her job was mostly just to escort people into their appointments and nothing more.  As she walked over to the ER, she heard the siren of an ambulance fading away, and the nervous chatter of doctors and nurses from within.

How can they possibly be short any hands? Erica wondered in bewilderment, opening the door to see the horrific scene unfold before her.

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

Within the ER, several doctors were clamouring around a human-form Darkflame Kuhna who was just barely breathing.  One of the doctors was saying something about needing a ventilator, and another still was calling for an IV.  Another doctor still was speaking to one of the nurses; obviously one that was not an ER regular.

"Okay, here's the situation with him.  He has an older and a younger brother, right?  Well, they're Revelates, and he's a Darkflame."

"Revelates?  Aren't those the high-and-mighty preacher's-pet Kuhnas?"

"One would think.  Anyway, they use him as a punching bag, and they always lay it on other Kuhnas within their home.  One of them got a video of them beating up on him one day, and they reported it to authorities.  The Revelates are in prison now, but this guy seems rather frail.  He's in a delicate state now; seems just short of a coma.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he slides into one before the night's out, the way he's beat up..."


At this, all that the Darkflame knew, fell into blissful darkness.

Erica examined the Darkflame carefully before she looked back up at the doctor.  "I think... he might have already gone into a coma, sir." She said carefully, looking back down at him and placing her hand just under his nose.  When she felt no breath coming from his nostrils, she instantly looked up and said, "Get me a ventilator, stat!"

She felt her head doctor's eyes piercing into her back as she said, "S-sorry, sir... I'm just trying to help..."

"No, I don't mind it at all, Erica.  Had this case not come in at this particular instant, I was going to tell you that I'm promoting you to head nurse of the ER, serving beside me as my co-worker, and not as an understudy." The head doctor said, and Erica blinked.

"But...!"

"Erica, you've clearly shown talent in the medical field.  We're going to be placing him under your care until he recovers," he said, and he strode out of the room.  Erica blinked as the other doctors and nurses stood around, looking at her and waiting for her to say something.

"What are you all standing around for?" she asked.  "I said get a ventilator, stat!"

If Verno were conscious, then he probably would have been watching Erica's every move with scrutiny and curiousity.  However, since he was completely out of it, he was stuck in an ethereal world in between consciousness and unconscoiusness.

...is this what death is like...? he asked himself as the ventilator mask was placed over his mouth.  If it is, it certainly is a lot better than life was for me back with my brothers...

If he were awake, he would also notice the human-form Common Kuhna nurse was fretting over him, her eyes holding considerable concern for him.  As air was pushed into his lungs and sucked out of him, he gave a soft groan, a sign to the doctors that he wasn't going to give up that easily.

"Nurse Erica!  He's still alive!"

"He's still alive!"

Erica didn't need to be told this twice as she whirled around, her eyes wide as she glanced down at the human-form Darkflame.  Though he lay perfectly still, Erica could tell that the other nurse was correct.  Walking gently over to him and placing a hand on his neck, Erica tried to discern a pulse.  It took a moment for her to find it, but when she did, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get him in for X-rays, now!  I wanna know what kind of stuff I'm dealing with." Erica said sternly, her voice trembling the slightest amount.

"Yes, ma'am!" one of the other doctors said as she took the bed that the Darkflame was on and wheeled it away, calling for people to stay out of the way as she maneuvered the Darkflame to the x-ray room.

Erica followed close behind, but not too close behind.  This Darkflame male, although battered and bloody, certainly seemed handsome to her.  But, regardless, Erica shook her head as she pulled back her blond hair and readied the x-ray machine.

Whoever did this to 'im... I hope they're gonna spend the rest of their lives in prison. She thought as she began to take the x-rays.

A few hours passed, and Verno slowly began to come to within the hospital room that he was in.  At first, he tried to keep his eyes closed, but his consiousness continued to pull him back into the real world; the world of the living.  With a sigh and a flutter of his eyelids, he slowly opened his eyes.

He was not surprised to be in a white room with various machines hooked up to him; however, he was surprised to see a nurse in a purple overcoat and nurse whites standing by his bed, taking his vitals.

"Wh... who are you...?"

Obviously, she had to be a nurse at the hospital, but she certainly wasn't his normal ER nurse; he would have recognized her in an instant, because she was a Biolune pet and always wore black clothing.  This nurse, however... he was having trouble pegging what it was about her that made her so... striking to him.

Erica blinked as Verno rasped his question before she turned to face him.  Now that the blood was cleaned off of his face and clothes, she could look at him without fear of shuddering at the sight of blood.  Sometimes I wonder why I got put in the ER department... I'm a little too squeamish with blood. She thought before she cleared her throat.

"I'm your new nurse, Erica.  Your old nurse apparently resigned for personal reasons; among them was beign a musician, as I understand it."

Here, she continued going about taking Verno's vitals before she continued.

"Whatever in the world happened to you?  Judging from my boss' reaction, this is far from your first visit here, but it's decidedly your worst.  These x-rays we got had us wondering how you didn't puncture a lung somehow."

Here, she pointed at the x-rays, which revealed a few cracked ribs among a lot of internal bruising.

"We were afraid that we were going to lose you, to be quite honest.  You kept going in and out of a coma throughout the night, and there were several close calls where we almost did lose you."

Verno was far from surprised to see the internal bruising, but the broken ribs certainly caught him off-guard.  He knew, yes, that Obsidian and Onyx were rather tough guys, but... broken ribs?  They'd obviously taken their "practices" to a new extreme here.

"They... they've never broken ribs before... just bruised me really bad... and given me cuts that needed stitches..."

He sighed as he tried to turn over, but found himself unable to because of the bandages around his body that were keeping the ribs that had been broken from puncturing his lungs.  Groaning some, he turned back to face Erica, studying her carefully before he tried to sit up, his eyes wide.

"Oh!  I... I remember who you are now!  You were working the desk when I came in two months ago!"

His eyes got wider still as he tried to sit up again, his heart rate accelerating as he tried to talk to Erica about this particular instance that he was remembering.  He doubted that she would remember; after all, within two months, Erica had probably seen well over a hundred patients...

"Please, for the love of Zu'hai, lay back down and lie still!"

If there was one thing that Erica had learnt as instinct, it was that patients were usually not meant to be excited in any way, shape, or form when they were recovering from injuries, especially not those that had several broken ribs that had almost died before they could receive treatment.  After setting down her papers, she turned back around and faced him, taking down her hair and looking at him very carefully.  Now that she thought about it, she remembered seeing him a couple months back.  Shaking her head, she laughed.

"You have to remember, I was an intern back then.  When you work the desk, you see hundreds of patients in a month's time.  I'm not doubting you; you obviously have a better memory than mine, but I do not recall ever seeing you."

She knew that this was a lie; she remembered seeing him, and she'd been quite smitten with him when she'd seen him.  However, now was not the time for her to be remembering this; now was the time to make sure that Verno was actually going to make it through the night, and then the week, and then two weeks.  By then, he'd be released, and Erica would have other patients to care for.

"O-oh..."

Verno said this as he slowly sank back down, his eyes losing their gleam as he closed them, drawing in a breath.  He'd gotten so excited about remembering who she was and being glad that she was now his nurse, but his dreams were obviously in vain as she did not remember who he was.

"I... I suppose that's true, Erica."

As he said this, he relished her name as it came from his mouth.  Erica!  Oh, how he wished that he was not bedridden so that he could stand up and take her hands and tell her how he'd fallen in love with her at first sight when he'd seen her those short two months prior...

...but he also knew that doing so might not be a wise idea, either.  After all, what if she didn't feel the same about him?  He cleared his throat before he spoke again.

"My name is Verno... but you probably already knew that from my charts..."

"Right.  Verno, son of Alana and Milos, brother of Onyx, Sable, and another Revelate; half-brother to a whole slew of others... it's all right here.  Alana must have her hands full with you and your brothers."

Erica said this as she moved to pull a chair up closer to his bed so that she could sit and talk to him.  After all, it was tiring work, standing up the whole day in heels.  I ought to invest in some flats... Erica thought as she sat down, her clipboard in hand as she examined him carefully.

"Does... does your mother even know that this stuff happens to you?  Or does she think that you're just really weak and cannot fend for yourself whatsoever?"

As she said this, she was taken back to her early days, when it had been just her and her brother, Aaron, living in the forest.  She placed a hand on the collar that he'd given her and gently unfastened it for a moment, looking at it carefully before putting it back on.  She couldn't imagine not being able to care for oneself, even when living with their family.

Verno thought for a moment before he was finally able to respond to Erica.  As he drew in a breath, he turned away from her so that she would not see the sadness on his face.  Little did he know that it was all too evident in his voice that something was wrong.

"No... Onyx and Obsidian always threaten me with unspeakable punishment if I ever tell my mother.  And, by unspeakable... well, let's just say they'd come up with something, since I can't be turned into a Fallen Luhna, like my uncle, or a Panzer."

He turned back over here, glancing at her with a little bit of concern.  His eyes seemed to hold everything, from confusion to something that not even registered in his mind.  Here, he glanced at the collar that she'd taken off and was putting back on now.

"Wh... who gave that to you?"

He asked this softly, glancing back up at her.

Erica paused as she listened to him talk about his brothers.  How did he live like that?  How was he able to live with that ever-present fear of getting tortured and tormented by his own family, and knowing that his mother knew nothing of it?  She shook her head as she closed her eyes.

"How can you live like that?  One would have thought that you would have run away solely to save your own skin by now!"

She set her clipboard aside as she said this, glancing back at him as he inquired about the collar.  Her hand flew to its little gold buckle as she offered a small smile as she closed her eyes again.

"My brother gave it to me..."

As she said this, she smiled fondly as she remembered back to when she had received this collar from her brother.  He'd been out that whole morning, hunting for the two of them--true, they were only two Kuhnas, but hunting for two Kuhnas was a little difficult where they were living in.  When he came back, however, he had a thin piece of purple leather that he then fastened around her neck, smiling as he wished her a happy birthday...

Verno sighed as he turned over to look at Erica, examining her facial features and her eyes before he spoke again.

"I don't 'live' with it, technically speaking.  I try to distance myself from them as much as I possibly can, but... it doesn't always work..."

Giving a slight sigh, he closed his eyes again, drawing in a shaky breath.

"I'm not sure how they knew where to find me, but they always knew.  Whenever I'd try to get away from them, they'd always be three steps ahead of me.  Whenever I'd be found beat up, they'd always lay the blame elsewhere; Battlehearts and Hollowhearts and Choopas and other various pets like that.  I couldn't get away from them even if I tried... not to mention they act as priests by day and then show their true colors by night."

Here, he stopped talking, falling into a slightly uneasy sleep as the machines that were hooked up to him continued to beep.

Erica was about to make a reply when she noticed that Verno had fallen asleep.  She glanced down at her clipboard, and then, she took note of his vitals one more time before she walked out of the room to talk to the head doctor.

"He's fallen asleep, sir.  He was talking about how his brothers always use him as a punching bag, and then lay the blame on other pets because they're supposed to be, like, really holy-like Kuhnas."

"Yes, I know.  How are his vitals?"

"So far, so good." Erica said.  "I'll go back in to check on him in another hour, but I need a little break right now.  For a first day, it's been a little stressful."

"This is nothing compared to a usual ER day," the head doctor said.  "Normally, we have to do at least two emergency surgeries a day."

Erica gave a slight nod before she walked away, heading to her old position at the desk.  She drew in a breath as she pulled all of the things that she'd put on it out of the desk and into a box, to be moved down to the ER wing when she went back down there.  As she filed her papers away, she came across a small note that she hadn't seen before, from the very same Darkflame that was now her charge.

"Nurse,

I'm not sure if you'll ever read this, but if you do, I just want to thank you for being so kind to me.  Hopefully, the next time that we meet, I'm not in a hospital bed, walking the line between life and death because of my brothers.  I understand if you want nothing to do with me, but I think you're one of the nicest Kuhnas I've ever met, and I'd like very much to get to know you more.  Sincerely, Verno."

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me
