Clumsy Flying — Even Clumsier Landing

Cordelia blinked when Loriana was unable to answer. Not even her mutterings had been clear to the vampire, and had come out all jumbled for her ears. Slightly odd, but, oh, well. The girl would just have to repeat what she said.

As the winged one fell to her knees, the woman's dark blue eyes widened. Oh, no... not good. She was about to help Loriana back up when she completely fell over. "Get a bed ready," Cordelia told the nurse in a commanding tone, watching as the third female walked away to do so. She shook her head, knowing that all that nurse would be good for would be helping the red head.

The twenty year old bent down and gently scooped Loriana into her arms, being extremely careful of her wings and back. The result ended up with her holding the younger female rather awkwardly, but even so, she walked over to the bed and placed Loriana on it gently.

She turned to the nurse. "She has a broken wing, hurt her arm, there's a wound on her back, and I'm sure there's plenty of other injuries. Get to work, would you?"

The nurse nodded. She took out a small needle and injected something into the girl's vein, just to keep her unconscious and to keep her from feeling pain for a while after she woke up. The nurse started working on the girl's wing.

The nurse went wide eyed when she saw Loriana's reaction to the drug. That had never happened before! There was no time to think about that, though; she had to get some more medicine in this girl to counter-act the allergic reaction. She had to do it fast, too, or else that vampire woman might come after her. She and the avian were probably friends, and she did not want to see what a vampire would do if they were angry.

She got more medicines and a new syringe to inject them with. As she turned around, she saw that her wings were spread out to their full length, and she sighed inwardly. This might be difficult.

The nurse quickly went back to the younger female and took the arm that wasn't blue and swollen. She injected the syringe and pushed in the drugs, hoping this time it would actually work. The drugs were only meant to counter-act the last medication, though, not make the female go unconscious or the like.

Cordelia smacked her forehead with her palm. "No one at this school can do ANYTHING right..." she said softly, shaking her head. If a nurse couldn't treat a patient, then there was definitely something wrong.

The nurse sighed with relief once Loriana had gone unconscious again. Apparently, it had worked, and she wasn't going to get hurt by that vampire. Her gaze went to the broken medical supplies that had made quite racket when they had hit the floor, and bit the inside of her lip. She would have to clean them up when she was done with this, since the patient was more important than a few supplies.

She put on a pair of gloves and walked over to where her wing was hanging off the side of the bed. Pulling up a chair and sitting down so she wouldn't have to lean over, the woman grabbed a few supplies that were intact and started working. She first cleaned out the wound, being as gentle as she possibly could in doing so. She was glad to see that no more damage had been brought to the broken wing when she had had the allergic reaction, otherwise the job would probably be more difficult and probably more painful.

Of course, once she was done with Loriana's wing, she would have to look at her back and check on her arm. This poor child...

Once done with cleaning it, she started putting the bones back in place.

Cordelia stood there, arms folded over her chest. She most definitely wasn't going to leave the room like one would normally do. She had to make sure this stupid nurse took care of Loriana instead of causing any more unnecessary damage. The vampire sighed and shook her head, wondering how long she was going to have to stay here with the girl. She didn't mind it, but she didn't want to be stuck in the same place for a week or the like.

The nurse got a cast and fit it to Loriana's wing once she had returned the bones to their proper places. With that out of the way, the nurse looked at the wound on the girl's back, wincing just at the sight. Someone had actually taken to carve such a nasty thing into the girls back. She got some disinfectants and bandages, and began to clean the wound on her back, quickly bandaging it once it had been cleaned. The woman looked at the scars, feeling sympathy for the poor child. She couldn't have had a wonderful past.

The nurse then looked at Loriana's arm, beginning to take care of that wound as well.

"Will she be alright?" Cordelia asked, glad to see that the nurse had nodded in response. The twenty year old didn't want that girl to die or get hurt any worse, and would take special care of her if it would be needed.

As Loriana's eyes opened, a soft smile came to Cordelia's mouth. However, as the girl tried to move, the vampire didn't seem as pleased. "Just lay still, Loriana," she said. "I think the nurse is almost done. And I don't know if it's exactly healthy for you to be moving around... but don't take my word on that, I'm not a doctor." The twenty-year-old shrugged her shoulders. She cared, but she just didn't know.

The nurse nodded slightly with what Cordelia said, but was too concentrated on Loriana's wound to really pay attention. After a moment, she finished, and wrapped the teenager's arm wound up in a bandage. "That should do it," she told the girl.

"You feeling any better?" Cordelia asked.
