Rivalry or friendship? Closed

It was getting late. Shadows within the corridors of the castle grew bigger as the light of the flames grew smaller. Just enough light to navigate your way with ease.

'Ugh.. It's getting late. I shouldn't linger out of the Common Room for too much longer.' Rubbing her eye she went down the many stone stairs. It was calm tonight. Todays lessons must have really worn out the students. The moon peeked inside from outside the castle walls, making the corridors and halls look more blue. Beautiful.

However the peaceful silence didn't last for long. A voice echoed through the halls. It was rather far. 'Wh-..What was that?' The young Prefect stopped for a moment. Her ear turned towards the direction of the scream. Quiet. And then there was the scream again. It sounded helpless. 'What on earth..'
Swiftly, Nico started to run down another set of stairs leading to the third floor. She was still far away from Slytherin Quarters but that would be a worry for later. Her strawberry red hair waved from side to side as she elegantly made her way to the source of the cry. Through the long hall, she followed the voice to the entrance of the Hospital Wing. 'This can't be good...' She muttered softly.

Arriving at the entrance, Nico peeked in, gently pushing the wooden door open. 'What's.. going on in here?' Her iceblue eyes reflected the moon ever so slightly, making her eyes look even lighter. What she saw there were two girls. One held onto another who seemed to have passed out. Red drops of blood seeping on the floor. Heck. Nico quickly lifted her arm infront of her nose and mouth. Luckily she had already eaten and wasn't especially hungry. The latest event she had been through concerning blood however weren't very pleasant and fun to remember.

This wouldn't bother her. She would be a proper prefect. No distractions.

With a few steps, she skipped over to the duo, quickly offering her shoulder as support for the dangling student. 'Here. Put her on one of the beds.'She wasn't strong but that wouldn't stop her from giving a hand. 'What happened? You should've been in your Common Room for a while now...'

Another nightmare had woken Katrina. She had fallen asleep after dinner and woke up from the nap with another night time terror. She was curious if anyone in the Hospital Wing would have any clue how to help her. Before she reached the hospital, she heard a girl cry out.

A limp form dangled from her arms. Another girl approached, Katrina followed as they entered the Hospital Wing. She honestly had no clue the time, since no one was out of their dorms she was slightly afraid that it was past curfew.

Katrina saw the limp form bleeding and her first-aid instincts kicked in. Katrina spoke to one nurse hopefully in the back "Help, there is an unconscious and bleeding girl out here!" despite the obvious pain that girl was feeling, Katrina's voice was still steady.

"Hey, can I check her out, I have first aid," Katrina spoke hurriedly to the two girls and pushed past them to the girl. She was bleeding, unconscious, with several bruises and other injuries. "What happened?" she inquired while checking her down. If she knew what happened, she would have a much better clue what to do.

Katrina shook her limp form and aligned her body strait. She checked for a pulse, relieved that it still held steady. The Gryffindor placed a pillow under her head to hopefully straiten out blood flow. There was little she could do without a first aid kit. Thankfully, there was one on the bedside table. Katrina opened it and pulled a length of bandages. She expertly wrapped it around the girl's head.

"That should hold it for now, we need a nurse!" It felt odd being in control, but it also felt right. Her expertise was needed and she could be saving this student's life.

_{Ariana felt the strawberry haired girl, whom she knew was a Slytherin prefect, lift Kara off her shoulders. She stretched out her aching arms, and heard the hospital wing door creak open again. In came in a fellow Gryffindor with a streak of teal in her hair. Ariana knew her name was Katrina, she smiled at her, and Katrina smiled back.}

_{Ariana was so dazed after telling the slytherin prefect what happened, but she replied as she heard the inquiry again.}

_{"What happened?" Katrina asked.}

_{"Kara got in a fight with the girl that threatened me, but it got so bad that the girl hit her so hard on the side that there's now a large gash on the side of her lip, bleeding badly, and she fell on her head on the concrete floor, so the back of her head is completely bashed. It also looks like her finger is broken, it's twisted horribly." Ariana explained, her voice slightly shaking.}

_{Katrina then pushed past her and grabbed Kara off of The slytherin prefects shoulders. She straightened her on the bed, trying to somehow help stop her bleeding.}

_{She watched as the white pillow soaked up the blood, turning it into a deep, thick red color.}

_{Ariana stomach churned at the sight and she clasped her hands over her mouth.}

_{Kara now had a large amount of bandages wrapped around her head, but the blood still seemed to poke through. Katrina called for a nurse and then Ariana inched towards Kara's limp body. She made it to her side and she placed her hand on Kara's head gently.}

_{"I'm sorry, Kara. This shouldn't of happened, if only you let me deal with it myself." Ariana said, she sighed with worry for the poor girl. They were good friends after all, and although Ariana hadnt been keen on their friendship at first, Kara had really seemed to grow on her.}

_{She felt her hands shaking and she cursed under her breath, for she didn't want to seem weak. She hated that. She scrunched up her nose slightly and stared into Kara's face.}

_{"Wake up, please."}

Nico sighed. This was bad. They were in luck to have gotten to the Hospital Wing so fast. As a girl ran in, calling the nurse over, the dhampir set a step aside to give her some space. Apparantly she had some healing knowledge that would atleast stop the wound from bleeding heavily.

Since the redhead didn't know much else to do, she could only ask further what caused this. 'A girl who treathened you. What's your name...? And who is this other girl?' She wasn't referring to the girls - one on the bed, bleeding - the other attending their wounds. She was referring to the one who supposedly set this circus in motion. As she waited for an answer, Nico pulled up a chair and sat on the opposite side of the bed, facing the other girls - but she could now sit closer to the victim. 'Kara... I hope what you did was worth it.' Her iceblue eyes kept a close eye on Kara. This sight wasn't really new to her. During the Ball where they welcomed the students from the Ilvermorny school, alot of students got hurt like this, if not even worse. 'Why did she threaten you anyway? What happened?' Nico looked back up at Kara's friend, her ice blue hues not letting her out of her sight.

Katrina kept her fingers on the unconscious girl's-- whom the Gryffindor still didn't know her name-- wrist. Her quiet but steady heartbeat was reassuring. Katrina absentmindedly rubbed the back of her hand, hoping to stimulate her enough to wake her.

The other girls were talking about what happened. Katrina attempted to put it together, but she still couldn't quiet figure out how or why anything occurred. She didn't recognize anyone that was in the room with her, but she was aware that one was a prefect.

There was the girl who had brought the unconscious girl in. Possibly a Gryffindor, Katrina thought she had seen her around. Most likely a first year since Katrina hardly recognized her. Then there was the prefect, red hair like her. Finally, the unconscious girl looked too pale in the bright hospital wing light.

She was about to add something to the conversation when the girl's heart picked up. Her pulse raced below Katrina's gentle fingers and the 12-year-old took a self-conscious step back as her eyes fluttered open. Thank goodness. The previously unconscious girl's first thoughts were thankfully clear and Katrina found herself sighing in relief. No concussion, check.

Katrina spoke first, "You cut your lip, broke a finger, and knocked yourself out. But, you are in great shape." Now that the girl was awake, Katrina checked for any other injuries. She waited until everyone else spoke before checking the girl more.

"How much do you remember before you fell?" Katrina asked, making sure that her assumption about her not having a concussion was correct. She found herself checking the girl's eyes too, just in case. After she responded, Katrina continued. "Anything else, headache? stomach ache? Anything else hurting?" Katrina found herself repeating what she had already said, but to someone who just woke up, it would be helpful.

Again, the feeling of leadership was foreign. She assumed that no one else had much first aid, so her role as leader just happened. Katrina felt comfortable here, and she had everything it took to be a nurse. Patience, goodwill, gentleness, kindness. Katrina looked back at the girl-- she really needed to figure out her name.

_{Arianas gaze wandered around the hospital wing, and she glanced at the many empty beds, there was barely anyone in here, in fact, (Ariana craned her neck to get a better view of the room) It seemed deserted. The bottled medicines and piles of bandages lay on Karas bedside table, and Ariana sighed heavily again, turning away to gaze out of the window, lost in thought.}

_{"Ariana, what's going on?"}

_{Ariana was jerked out of her trance as her head whipped round and her green eyes found Kara, alert and awake, heavily bandaged.}

_{“You're awake!” She exclaimed a bit too loudly, causing nurses around them to shoot her warning looks, but Ariana didn't care. She leaned forward to hug the girl, then stopped abruptly as she remembered the wounds, bruises and bandages. Instead she beamed happily at her, “How are you feeling?” She asked tentatively, her voice much quieter now, to the nurses approval. “You got badly hurt, so I got help” Before Kara could answer however, Katrina had begun to check over her, "How much do you remember before you fell?" Katrina asked, checking the girl's eyes, "Anything else, headache? stomach ache? Anything else hurting?"}

OOC Note: Kara has lost all of her romantic feelings towards Ariana, not remembering that she ever had any.

Nico sighed as her questions got ignored. Seriously. Why even was she here? 'Look. She'll be better. I'd rather want to know why all of you were still out after curfew. I hope you are aware that you can get detention for being out this late. I might let it slide if you have a good excuse.'

She folded her arms and got up wakling to the footend of the girls bed. These girls seem to forget how bad it is to have a prefect around them. Definitely since they weren't supposed to be out at this hour. Sure, maybe they had a good reason to but the dhampir heavily doubted that. Nico was tired and just wanted to head back to her Dorm and curl up with her shark plushie. Her mind was tired and not keeping track of everything. Waiting for a response, her ice blue eyes looked for the Nurse. They would be in safe hands with them around. There wasn't much of a reason for her to be here. She had no medical skills. Not like Katrina. All the Slytherin girl could do was wait and then be ready to crawl in her bed. She didn't feel the need to see this scene become more dramatic than it needed to be. If they weren't going to answer her questions, she'd make sure they would regret it. 'So? Tell me.'
