Injuries… and a new person! Pt. 2

Flame watched as Olivia called for a nurse. Then she helped Flame sit down and told her she looked likes she was going to faint. "All because you decided to let yourself bleed out more then needed, I'm truly grateful," she told Flame with a smile. "But don't ever do that again," Olivia scolded Flame. “If we are going to be friends now, you can expect me to do stuff like this all the time.” Flame told Olivia smiling. “But don’t you dare say we aren’t friends!” Flame collapsed back into the bed. Her hand started throbbing in a way she didn’t like. She started shaking. “And I will take that water any time now.” she really didn’t want Olivia to worry about her right now but she couldn’t hide the pain from her face. ‘Don’t you dare say cry Flame.’ she told herself.

The pain reached so great that she could no longer hold it in. If Olivia couldn’t deal with her crying once then they couldn’t be real friends. Real friends knew each others weaknesses and didn’t care if the other one couldn’t deal with something. “Sorry you had to see me like this” Flame said through gasps of pain. She hadn’t cried since she was 5 so why was she starting now?

She looked up at Olivia as she brought back the water and handed it to Flame. Flame brought the cup up to her hands very shakily and took a sip. “Do you happen to know any pain reliving spells? Just for now it doesn’t have to be perfect but I understand if you don’t want to try.”

Olivia watched Flame break down, it was clear she had been trying hard to stay strong for her. She couldn't take her eyes away from how weakily Flame had taken a sip of the water she had gotten for her. What suprised her more was that Flame was showing her vulnerability, she trusted Olivia already. Olivia placed a reasurring hand on Flame's shoulder, "Pains temporary, it will be gone soon," she said, "Hopefully," she whispered the last part, wanting Flame to be seen by the nurse as soon as possible. Olivia was never good at consoling people, she never knew the perfect words to say.

"You want me to try a pain reliving spell?" Olivia aksed, "I....I don't really know any, all I know is what my brother has told me about them, I have never casted it," she explained, unsure if Flame really wanted to be a test subject at this specific point in time. She clearly was in tooo much pain to think straight. Olivia slowly took our her wand, she looked at Flame and then at her wand, she hated seeing her new found friend in such a way. "If you trust me I can try, but if it goes wrong you can't blame me,"she warned as she took in a deep breath.

Olivia thought back to the time she had sprained her ankle while playing in a football match, she limped to the car and her mother drove her home. Her brother Atlas helped Olivia to her room sitting her down on her bed, as he began explaing the many spells used when someone gets hurt, unfortunately as he was underage he couldn't actually preform the spell. Not long after her mother came and did a more compex spell healing her immediately. Olivia closed her eyes trying to remember everything her brother had taught her about the Lenio charm, "Are you really sure? or do you want to just wait?" Olivia asked once more, she was conflicted, she didn't want to make it worse.

"Are you really sure? Or do you want to just wait?" Olivia asked Flame. “Just do it.” Flame said, sucking in a breath. “I trust you and even if it doesn’t work I would never blame you for anything.” It was true Flame thought. If she were to get caught pranking someone with Olivia or injured cause of her she would just blame herself most likely. She let her mind wander for a minute so she could try to ignore the pain. She should owl Jinx back home to ask her to send more prank supplies over. Ohh, maybe after this was all over she could ask Olivia about doing pranks together, and maybe they could hang out a lot!

Flame winced, the pain was getting worse and worse by every minute that went by. She looked back over at Olivia. "Please." She begged softly. Wait begged, Flame had never in her life begged for anything before. If someone had said no when she had asked for something or for help with something, she would just do it herself. She looked Olivia in the Eye."Look, if it gets worse it's my fault because I asked you to do it. You shouldn't try to heal it, just relive some of the pain. If you don't feel like you can to it that's fine too." She didn't want Olivia to feel like Flame was forcing her.

Olivia looked at Flame with sympathy she couldn't just leave her like that she had to try. She trusted that Flame wouldn't go back on her word if things went wrong. "I'll do it," she said trying to sound confident. She was more worried then anything, if Flame had just been some other student she wouldn't have even hesitated to try but she wanted to get it right for her, they were friends now afterall and friends care for eachother. "Somethings you should know though," Olivia began, "The charm is old, I have to tap your hand but i'm only going to do it twice because if you over do it you might end up with secound degree burns, and lastly if twice isn't enough there will be no effect," she explained, she was sure Atlas had told her something along those lines.

She took in a deep breath and muttered the incantation tapping the wand but to no use, the opal light and liquid didn't apper at the end of her wand. She tried again and still nothing, she tried once more but nothing happened. She was getting a little frustrated as she knew Flame was in immense pain if she was now begging for help. She took in another deep breath closing her eyes and concentrating hard. She muttered the incantation once more tapping it and like magic it worked, she tapped it twice on Flame's hand before stopping. "I do hope it works, a good sign that there is no burning," she said a little proudly. "Can you feel anything? numbness, tingling?" she asked hoping for the best.

Olivia tapped Flames hand several times. "I do hope it works, a good sign that there is no burning,"Olivia told Flame. Flame concentrated on her hand. "No Burning." She reported to Olivia."Can you feel anything? Numbness, tingling?"Olivia asked her. "There definitely is Tingling."Flame said. "It is kinda strong. Should I be worried?"She looked at Olivia. Then she realized something. Slowly but surely the pain was ebbing away. Flame's hand no longer felt like it was going to explode or fall off. Another thing she noticed was that her headache had gone away along with the dizziness.

While Flame's hand still hurt a lot it wasn't searing pain anymore. Flame examined her hand. The swelling had gone down a little bit too! She looked at Olivia and smiled."Guess what?"Flame asked Olivia still smiling. "Whatever you did helped because while my hand still hurts a bit it isn’t as much pain as it was before! I also don’t feel dizzy anymore!”Flame was so excited for Olivia that she almost didn’t notice the healer whi was standing in the doorway. “My name is Nancy And I am a healer. May I take a look at your hand?” Flame held out her hand and Nancy examined it for a second before taking out her wand and muttering a spell. Flame’s cut stopped swelling and started to close slightly. “You are going to have to leave it in a bandage overnight but by tomorrow it should have healed. Though I should warn you that it will leave a scar.” Flame nodded and thank Nancy who then left. Her cut was still tingling but it would be fine. Flame looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was almost dinner time. “Want to grab something to eat?”she asked Olivia.
