Private Finished Hurt Among the Trees

It had been a stressful week just like most of the other days during the week Rom hadn't slept again. Late in the night he had taken off towards the woods to clear his head. He had brought his usual pair of black sweatpants and had tied them to a branch before taking off in his hell-hound form for a long run to wear him out. After running himself out energy wise Roman curled up under a tree and finally fell into a fitful sleep.

Rom had woken up to a noise he count quite place. His black furred ears perked up as his body stood up cautiously as he searched for the noise that woke him up. His stride headed in the correct direction as he took off cautiously. His over grown size ambled through as his boned nose tried to sniff out any danger. He would have continued to move cautiously but he heard the small cry of pain and then took off at a run. The cry of pain had removed all of his normal caution and instead caused him to nearly fall over the ditch as well. Luckily the giant hell-hound had stopped just in time to stop his own tumble. He peered into the ditch and saw the young lady

" Damn" he whispered to himself, before calling down to the girl. " Uh ... hold on try not to move." There was no way he could make down the ditch in his current form so he raced back to the tree where he had tied his pants. In his rush Roman had knocked down three or four trees in his path causing loud crashing noises to descend from where he was coming from. He made it to the tree and shifted to human form and put on sweatpants on and raced back to the ditch.

Moving as fast as he could Rom slid down the ditch, no doubt getting dirt into his own shift injuries but he quickly ignored them and walked over to the girl. " Hello, My name is Roman. What hurts?" Roman was quick and to the point but gave her a quick look over to see if there was anything he could visibly see other then the gash on her arm.

Regardless of being half naked, barefoot , and a filled with weird looking holes, Roman was completely focused on helping her and it was good thing that he had been in the woods in the first place.

Roman wasn't worried in the least that she had seen his other demonic form because he had focused on getting to the girl over the ledge. Any person would find it reasonable to freak out when faced with a large zombie looking wolfish form. It was a good thing that he could switch into a human normal looking form and it was especially lucky to have one to help the girl who had obviously not meant to get hurt in the woods.

He noticed a few things as soon as he got down on his knees to see her better. One, she had moved from when he had seen her in his wolf form but didn't make it very far. Two, She obviously wasn't focused enough to see or hear him coming down to help her. On the other hand, She didn't seem to be frightened or scared that he was there and was instead trying to crack jokes. He guessed that was a good a sign as any. " I believe we need to get to the infirmary. " He announced trying to keep the worry out of his voice, " Can I ask what your name is, miss, and this is going to sound weird but do you know what day it is?" The first question was just to get to know who he was helping but the second one was to see if she had any sort of concussion that he had to worry about as well.

With a quick look around Roman cursed under his breath again. It looked like they were going to have a difficult time getting out of the ditch they were in especially with her injured the way she was. He then decided to let her know the predicament and also what they could do about getting out of the ditch and what to do after they did.

" It seems like we might have a difficult time getting out of this ravine here and I don't have enough experience to help you medically down here. We have a couple of options but I don't think any one of them is going to be easy." He started while wiping his dark hair out of his eyes." I have the strength to carry out, but you might have a bruised or broken rib that I could make way worse if I hold you to tight or if we fall while walking up the hill. If you can walk then I can slowly help you up the hill that way, but it's going to hurt your leg more and probably be harder to breathe." He waited a minute almost regretting his third option. " Or I could shift and that will be the easiest, fastest, and less painful way to carry you up the hill but I wont have hands to help if something more is going on that I can't see right now."

All the options had some sort of downside and He was prepared to do either one of the options but it might have to change if something did happen to go wrong.

" I wish we were in better circumstances to meet Bel, but I'm going to have to get you out of this Ravine and into some practiced medical hands and out of this forest." Rom told her trying to keep himself calm in the process. " I believe your head is fine for now and you don't have a concussion but we also can't stay here any longer. "

Roman stood by as Bel attempted to stand up and walk on her own. She had barely made it a step before it was obvious the pain wouldn't let her go any further. It would take time to shift and be back to help her but It seemed the best option would be to just carry her as far as he could. His hands attempted to go to her sides and steady her while she stood. " I'm going to pick you up, Is that okay? I might as well go with option one. We are going to get out of this Ravine and then go to the school infirmary. "

After making sure she knew exactly what he was going to do he tried to pick her up gently with one arm under her arms and the other under her knees while he swooped the rest her into his arms firmly against his own chest. He glanced down at her once to make sure she was a comfortable as she could be before beginning to walk towards the steep sides.

Although his body was healing itself at the moment, There was still the bones on his fingers showing through until his skin and muscles grew back to cover them up again. Roman's mind began to think as he thought about the best way to make it up the steep hill while carrying another body weight. His best option was going to be with momentum to run up the steepest part and he hoped she was up for jolting experience Bel was going to have to go through in his arms.

It seemed like for now that he had Bel's trust and that felt good. Roman didn't have many friends yet and maybe this was a weird start to one. Although he could worry more about that later and focus more on getting the girl to some kind of safety.

Roman slowed to a walk when he made it to the top of the ditch and back onto a trail that headed to the school. " I'll get you back to the school here soon. It's a good thing I was out there when you fell." Roman fell silent after his comment. He wanted to walk in silence as he walked back to the school. He hoped his silence helped her to know that they would be back soon. He needed to treat his own wounds and eat something, but that could only happen after he knew Bel was in safe hands.

After he walked back onto school grounds, Roman hurried to the where the infirmary was and quickly handed her to a nurse.

After Roman dropped Bel off at the infirmary, he heard her question before he left the room. " I'll come back to check how your doing in a little but let the nurses do their job. I've got somethings I have to do myself. "
He held up his weirdly injured hands that looked like bone finger tips coming out of a normal hand. They had improved some since the walk over but his finger tip would fully heal with-in the hour. " I've got to eat something and then I'll happily return to see how you are if you are still awake. "
He gave her a light smile and a wink then headed out of the infirmary to go get himself something to eat.
