But I thought?
Ruby's P.O.V:
It was your average day in Gloomsville, the clouds filled the sky and it looked like was about to rain. Awesome! I can't wait to go outside and enjoy it. I was in the kitchen baking brownies; I couldn't wait to eat these with my friends when I heard the timer ding. "Oh the brownies are ready!" I said excitedly, forgetting to put on oven mitts as I ran to the stove. I opened the oven and grab the pan, but as soon as I did I immediately dropped the pan and screamed. I heard quick footsteps, knowing it was my friends coming to my aid. I look at my hand in shock as it began to blister and burn. Tears welled in my eyes and I clutched my wrist. I looked to the entrance again and standing there was Frank and Len.
I was a little surprised how'd quick they had got here Maybe they were coming to make a sandwich I concluded but I was slowly losing control of thought and didn't know what to do about the pain. I whimpered a little as the tears fled down my cheeks.
Frank's P.O.V:
Len and I were just on our way down to the kitchen to make a sandwich when we heard a scream coming from our designation. Len and I looked at each other then started booking it down the hallway. We arrived at the kitchen and saw Ruby standing there clutching her right wrist, which looked like it was starting to turn red and blister.
Ruby must've heard us because she looked at the doorway and saw us and looked surprised. She had tears running down her cheeks and looked scared. She then looked back at her hand and whimpered that's when Len and I sprung into action. We rushed over to her and I gently grasped her wrist and guided her over to the sink and Len turned on the cold water. I carefully placed her hand under the water and she gasped at first but then became silent. I guess the coldness surprised her.
I heard trampling coming to a halt in the door way so I looked over. Standing there was none other than Iris, Misery, Scaredy Bat, Doom Kitty, and Skull Boy. I quickly called out orders, "Misery get the first aid kit please." She nodded. "Iris go get me a water bottle please." She gave me thumbs up and dashed off. Then Len said "Scaredy, could you get the burn lotion please?" He nodded and left. "Skull Boy, can you turn off the oven? Please?" "Sure" He said. I looked back to Ruby, whose wrist I was still holding. I immediately let go blushing slightly. "Do you think you're going to be okay Ruby?" I asked.
Ruby's P.O.V:
After Frank and Len rushed over to me they guided me to the sink, I saw Len turn on the cold water and Frank gently moved my hand under the water. I gasped, the coldness surprised and hurt me a little but then I relaxed as it began to feel good.
I then heard Len and Frank barking out orders. Must be to the others I thought. I noticed Frank still had his hand around my wrist which gave me slight butterflies in my tummy, he must've noticed too for he let go. I looked up at him and noticed he was slightly blushing I felt myself slightly blushing also. Frank then looked down and asked "Do you think you're going to be okay Ruby?" I nodded slightly glad that he had put my hand under the water. I carefully took my hand out from under the water; I had noticed it was going numb. Suddenly I heard footsteps enter the kitchen, I looked over and saw Misery, Iris, and Scaredy Bat returning from their voyage carrying medical supplies.
I gave them a small smile and walked up to Scaredy, "Can I have the burn lotion please?" My voice was teary, I notice so I cleared my throat a little because of it. "Oh, sure Ruby." Scaredy Bat replied. "Thanks Scaredy." I replied. "Um, can someone help me wrap my hand please?" "I'll help." Said Misery. "Thanks Misery." I replied. "Oh and thanks for the assist everyone." I said looking at everyone in turn. Misery nodded, Iris gave a small concerned smile and thumbs up, Skull boy gave a small smile, as well as Scaredy, and Doom looked up at me questionably; head cocked to the side. Frank and Len nodded.
"Ruby, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask us ok?" Said Frank when I looked at him and Len last. I nodded in understanding and smiled in appreciation. I noticed my hand was starting to hurt again so I looked at Misery and she nodded and started to walk to the kitchen table. Everyone began to reluctantly leave the kitchen, Frank and Len being the last to go. Doom Kitty didn't leave, instead she hopped onto the table. I sat down beside Misery, who said "Can you start putting on the burn lotion please?" I nodded. I gasped when I first put it on; the coldness had surprised me again. However I began to relax as it started to smooth my burnt hand. I gently rubbed it in while Misery prepared the bandages.
