Lonely Hope.

She smiled kindly at him, she had put him through enough pain that he deserved a bit of kindness from her. She stayed seated by his side, she started to feel drowsy. She pushed away her tiredness and tried to think of what to do for a bandage. Her mind was empty, she tried to figure it out. But all of her imagination was gone. She felt hopeless, not to mention alone without her swords and sayas.

Fia noticed this, but she tried to see the area, but he had taken his eyes off it. She sighed, hoping he'd do it again so she would understand and know where to go. She felt so tired, she looked at the man's eyes feeling herself wanting to drift off to sleep. She watched his eyes move to a oddly shaped rock. Fia didn't know what was there or even how long it had been there, she imagined if it was a animal it snuck in when she was gone and he was asleep.

She took the knife she had found in hand getting up, she made her way towards the rock. Maybe this creature could be supper, she thought with a light smirk covering her face. She continued towards it soon reaching it, knife in hand ready to attack anything that came her way. But nothing lunged at her, she couldn't see very well in the shadows. She moved closer looking at the figure ready incase of attack.

She heard the man on the ground gag loudly, she needed to finish looking at this thing fast. She hadn't a clue what it was though, she took a risk and moved forward touching it with her hand to see if it was alive or dead. Little did she know it could've been something other than a animal or human. She prayed in the back of the mind for God to keep the man from dying or vomiting since she wasn't ready for another hour or two of stiching him up. And neither was he.

She knew he was in agony, perhaps giving him water was stupid. She wasn't a real nurse, she only knew the important things such as stiching someone up and treating other seabound illnesses. She hated land, eversince she had come on land it had been nothing but tragity. She sighed wanting to just have one thing go right in her life on land. She seriously was thinking about going back to sea for eternity and never returning to this place of land.

Fia moved in to place her hand on a blanket, a confused look covered her face. Why was there a blanket in such a place? She continued to look, her eyes slowly adjusting to the light. Medical supplies, clothes, blankets, and food. She looked at it in shock, she never saw things like this in sea caves, usually it was treasure stashed. She picked up two blankets and a pair of new clothes. She moved to a place where the man couldn't see her so she could change. She slipped into a pair of fresh clothes that were a lot warmer then her dried blood covered ones. She then picked up another one for when the man felt well enough to change. She figured incase she was able to put a shirt on him she may as well take it. She took some medical supplies out as well, she'd look at them closely by the fire to see what they had.

She walked out from the shadows carrying two blankets a pair of clothing and a small box of medical supplies. She was sure that the man would be a bit shocked at the findings.

She layed the blanket ontop of him, she was almost tempted to cuddle up with him with the second blanket so that she got all the cold air that had soaked into her body out. She felt much better in the new clothes, but she still was cold seeing she had been without warmeth for hours.

She looked in the box of medical supplies, "Looks like I can take proper care of your wound and pain a bit better." She said with a light smile. She took out some liquid pain reliever, that shouldn't upset his stomach, but instead sooth it all the while giving relief to his pain. Or at least some of it, seeing it wasn't a magical pill. She now could change his wound dressings and clean it with real disinfectant.

"Okay I'm going to have you take the pain medication, then I'll change your dressings. Maybe you can get some new clothes on to keep you more warm if it's possible." She said observing his situation, trying to figure out how to get new pants on his legs and a new shirt on his chest without hurting his wounds. She waited for his okay before she opened the pain medicine and put a tablespoon of the red liquid before his mouth.

She tried to figure out how to put the clothes on him without injuring him. She figured if she had help she could lift his legs off the ground without reinjuring it to pull the new pants on. But that would prove hard, she decided it wasn't important at the moment, she first could treat his aches and then work on dressing him more properly so that when he could move around he'd be properly dressed.

Fia noticed this didn't help him much, she then layed the second blanket ontop of him. She moved sitting near him going through the box. She found some bandages and things to put on the wounds, she then found some over the counter antibotics and decided this would prevent him from infections. She sighed, "I'm going to have to torture you for a second okay? Your wounds need clean bandages." She took out the disinfectant and cream to speed healing. She lifted the blankets off his chest to show his bandaged area and slowly carefully removed the bandage.

She saw the wound, it was showing signs of possible early infection. She was glad she had found the boxes in time, she took the cream and disinfectant first cleaning the wound carefully then putting some cream on it. She then took a fresh bandage and placed it on the wound making sure it fit correctly. It was a lot easier then before, the bleeding had stopped since he was stitched up. She recovered him with the blankets and moved to his head placing it on her lap she took off the old bandage slowly and carefully. She then put the disinfectant on it and then the cream, then the bandage. This bandage was definately going to be more comfortable on him then the rag one before.

She took out a few other medicines, "There's one bottle for pain, one bottle to prevent infection.. It's funny that they're all new and drinkable, I wonder if someone knew before this all happened what was needed." she said out loud to him.

She smiled lightly, "One more time, this one is just as needed as the first." She said kindly to the man, she put the spoon to his mouth with the medicine on it. She needed to take care of him until he was better and she knew that would be at the least a week. She was a bit upset at that, but right now the patient was important.

She noticed he stopped gagging she smiled lightly glad it had worked.

Fia knew it was hard, but it had to be done. This time it'd be less painful and she knew that he'd be glad she did this when she did. She was glad that he couldn't move, it was nice to not have to worry about him squirming like a baby. Little did she know he was 1000 years old, he was ancient compared to her. She worked hard to keep him alive nonetheless.

She could tell he was grateful to not have to deal with this before the painkiller, she knew it would've hurt. But she knew of many men who could stand unreal amounts of pain so she always tried to be like them. The hardest part for her was to put a innocent person in pain, but she learned to deal with it. She knew the vampire that did this to him must've been a blood lustful nut. Not for thirst but just to see it.

She had not a clue that he wasn't a human, she herself would be qualified as a human seeing she had no physical traits for powers. It was more of a skill that she had, but she was a very skill pirate that was for sure. She considered herself someone with the power of motivation. She saw him wince, but she wasn't going to baby him. He after all was nearly a grown man, she had done this to 13 year olds who got caught in cross fire.

She had no concern for his wounds, she did her best work. With the medicine he'd be fine, she had worked in better situations. But he'd be fine since they weren't about to be under attack by a enemy ship or something. She guessed that someone had known they would be there. She wasn't going to push it since the man didn't seem to really care.

She noticed his gaze at the wounds, she knew it was noticable that she had experience, seeing her speed and non-grossed-out-ness. She knew they should be fine, she had dealt with worse wounds. But usually the person seemed to get better faster. She guessed it was because of his exposure to cold, she sighed hoping he'd be able to get better in this weather.

She smiled, he took the drug. He'd get better, she knew he hated it but it was neccesary. She looked at him, "You should sleep, you need it."

"Thanks."

She smiled, "Shh... Getting better is the only thanks I need, I don't want to have put all this work together for nothing. All I want is for you to stop struggling to get better and I want you to be perfectly fine. Because I can't afford to miss too much training, and also I won't be able to get you to the hospital until your better at least enough so I can carry you there." She said looking at him, she wondered how long it would take for the man to stop taking so long to heal properly.

She smiled when he went to sleep, her own eyes flickered. She felt tired herself, she looked at the stuff deciding she could take a rest seeing that he was going to be sleeping. His was was raspy, but it was there. She wasn't going to fuss over him like a mother over a baby. He was a grown man and he could deal with his pain to an extent.

She layed down a good five feet away from him, close enough to hear if he was in aggony or had a relapse. She closed her eyes for but a few minutes and dozed off into sleep, she had no dreams when she was this tired. She often would fight it if a dream did atempt to show it's face in her mind. She often felt alone, but she was glad to be alone. She was the type that liked her space and didn't want to have to answer to people.

Fia was still asleep, she may have been a stickler in some respects but she was still a human. She slept soundly, she was a person who enjoyed sleep, it always seemed to help her deal with things. It was just early in the day, she was a late waker. She had never attending a formal school so waking later in the day was allowed even though it wasn't approved of. She also was extremely tired so that helped her to sleep more.

She in the back of her mind knew he would be up, she also knew she should get up and feed and give him water. But she had been neglecting her own need of sleep lately and in order for her to nurse him back to health she needed her rest too. She layed without blanket on the floor, she had only seen two blankets, she was fine without one since she had discovered the clothes. She had woke in the middle of the night to stoke up the fire so it wouldn't go out until afternoon. Sound sounds of breathing during slumber filled the room, she didn't snore though. She looked rather peaceful an occaisonal chill would wake the girl, but she'd cuddle into the sweater and sleep on through the night.

She woke to the sound of him panting, she yawned lightly a chill coming down her spine as she woke. The ground which she slept on was cold, she rested her head on her shoulder forcing her eyes to stay open she yawned again. She was the type who didn't enjoy waking up each day, she found it annoying when sleeping was so nice.

"How are you feeling?" She asked with a yawn, her eyes still shut she hadn't noticed the snow keeping them in yet.
