Description
Mariah came back with a glass of lukewarm tap water and held the glass out to Sarah who weakly sat up and took hold of the glass with both hands taking a shakey drink. "Thank you." Sarah said her voice sounding a little less strained. "What happened to Damon?" Sarah asked bluntly, laying herself back down on the bed and pulling the covers back up to her chest to cover her mostly bare torso. "He's sleeping in your room and...wait just when did you learn his name?" Mariah asked slightly irritatedly, pulling the tie out of Sarah's ponytail. "Its hard not to learn a guys name when your yelling it less that seven feet away from me." Sarah grummbled under her breath as she reached for her hairtie. Mariah laughed and pulled her arm away, preventing Sarah from retreiving her hairtie; Sarah simply growled under her breath and pulled the covers over her face to go to sleep. Mariah stood to leave the room, but when she made it to the door Sarah's sleepy voice rang in her ears. "Mariah...Stay here with me please."Mariah turned and walked back to Sarah, who had pushed one of her hands out from under the covers for Mariah to hold. Mariah took her friends hand and held it tightly out of concern for Sarah's health; Sarah seldomly suffered any type of injury and today the wounds were far from minor and probably cause alot of pain. After a short amount of time Mariah's grip on Sarah's hand loosened, as she began to drift to sleep; everyone in the house slept for the remander of the night. When Mariah awoke the next morning she immediately went to check on Damon, who was only just begining to wake up, Mariah walked over to him and placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature; finding he did not have a fever Mariah sat down on the edge of the bed to wait for Damon to completely wake up. Once Damon had completely snaped out of his sleepy state he bolted into a sitting position and winced in pain with a loud grunt. "Whats wrong Damon?" Mariah asked in concern, as she pried Damons shirt off to get a look at his chest; a bruise the size of a grapefruit was just under his ribcage.
"Mariah...What, where am I?" Damon asked in confusion, wincing again as he tried to completly remove his shirt; Mariah let out a loud sigh, she had a lot of explaneing to do. "Uh, look Damon your...Not were you might expect yourself to be at the moment, but I promise I'll try to-" "What the hell is that?!" Damon suddenly yelled, startling Mariah for a breif moment before she turned to see one of Sarah's pet spiders standing in the doorway; a chill went down Mariah's spine when she looked into the arachnids empty black eyes. "Thats just Silky, one of my friends pets." Mariah said, pushing Damon back onto the bed gently then turning to look at Silky who was still standing in the doorway silently. "You looking for Sarah?" Mariah asked the spider, who shifted its position so that it look as if it were noding. "She's in my room." Mariah informed the spider who backed out o the doorway, turned and walked off in her rooms direction. Damon looked at Mariah nerviously, then suddenly bolted out of bed and, while grasping Mariah's sholders tightly proceded to yell at her. "How can you be so calm!?! A huge bug was just in your doorway and you spoke to it like it could understand you!" Damon screamed his hands shakeing as he was making a huge attempt at not fainting.
"First its not a bug its a spider, second this isn't my room its Sarah's and third it DID understand me. Didn't you see it walk twoards my room?" Mariah said in a calm even tone, trying to calm Damon down. Marah stood up slowly and took Damon's head in her hands, she then pushed his shakeing form away from her and back onto the bed to lay down; Damon broke out in a cold sweat and closed his eyes as he shook violently. "Damon, I need you to calm down and listen to me." Mariah said, her hands still holding onto his head gently; she felt Damon nod his head lazily. "Your in my house, and in the world I'm currently living in." Mariah told Damon quietly, running her thumbs along his jaw in a sothing manor when she felt him suddenly tence up. "Oh, how sweet. NOT!" Sarah growled from on top of her spider at the doorway, catching Mariah off guard and causeing her to turn her body so suddenly that one of her nails cut Damon under his eye. "Oh my goodness Damon I'm sorry!" Mariah gasped, useing the sleeve of her cloak the wipe the blood off of the cut. 'He didn't even flinch.' Mariah thought to herself, as she turned the give Sarah a confused look. "Allright allright. I'll talk." Sarah grumbled getting off of Silky's back and walking over to were Damon was laying.
"Did you HAVE to put him in my room?" Sarah whined, earning a dark glare from Mariah who was currently pulling off Damons sweat drenched pants. "Will you just tell me whats wrong with him?!" Mariah groaned as she droped the wet pants on the floor. "The guy nearly had his soul sucked out yesterday, you really think he'd get past that unscathed?" Sarah growled while she rummeged through her red cabnet, pulling out three bottles and setting them on the dresser next to her bed. "Just tell me whats wrong!" Mariah snaped at her currently sadistic friend, earning a snort and a roll of the eyes. "You remember how shitty you felt when you accidentaly drank that bottle of polluted salt water?" Sarah asked without showing any interest. "Yeah, I was in bed rest for seven and a half weeks." Mariah said with a shudder, recalling the many weeks of vomiting and hysteria. "Well thats basically what it is. His soul dissapeared for a breif moment then was suddenly thrown back into place, so his body's gone into a state of shock." Sarah informed Mariah as she mixed the contents of the three bottles together along with various other herbs and spices; Sarah then but the mix into a saucer and over a heater to be cooked.
"How long untill he gets better?" Mariah asked as Sarah poured the hot medicine into a bowl, blowing on it in an attempt to cool it down. "If he drinks ALL of this, he'll be fine in about six hours. If you cant get'im to drink it, its a fifty-fifty shot of recovery." Sarah stated bluntly while handing Mariah the medicine; Mariah raied an eyebrow at Sarah. "Why do I have to give it to him?" Mariah asked, glanceing first at Sarah, then Damon, then Sarah again. "Because if I do it, he'll probably choke to death on it." Sarah said darkly while leaveing the room, Silky followed Sarah twoards the living room. Mariah let out a quiet sigh as she lent over to give Damon the medicine; placeing the rim of the bowl against his lips then tilting it upward slowly so that he could drink without chokeing. Halfway through the medicine Damon began to cough loudly as he started to choke on the thick drink he had swalloed; Mariah tried to calm Damon's coughing by running her fingers down his throat in a sothing manor, and Damon stoped coughing a few minutes later. After Mariah held Damon to down the rest of the medicine she placed the empty bowl on the nightstand and left the room, going downstairs to find Sarah playing with her spider quietly.
