Notes: Guess what I was doing last night? well I went through my dictionary, then to the English one to make sure that I had the right words. So if you see a fancy word, you know why.
Okay, now for the people that missed the last chapter- all what happened is that Katie, Miguel, Ben, Ford and Tim came back, and Kirsten operated on Lucas. But Lucas has developed a fever...and that's how it ended off.
On with the story:
Oo Oo Oo Oo
He was floating in a sea of darkness, he felt no pain, nothing. He felt at peace, he closed his eyes, allowing the darkness to take him further into it's grasp...
Kirsten frowned she heard Lucas's breaths become laboured, she quickly felt for a pulse. It was getting weaker.
She looked at Nathan who had a wet cloth in one hand and was dabbing Lucas's face wiping the sweat that had begun to appear.
"Go to sleep Nathan, you need the rest. I'll call you if there are any changes," Kirsten said softly.
Nathan nodded, he lowered the cloth back into the bowl, squishing out the access water, he placed it on Lucas's forehead. Before he moved his hand away, he brushed a piece of hair from Lucas's face.
"Hand in there, kiddo," Nathan said silently.
With that, he headed to his sleeping bag, where he flopped down in exhaustion.
Ford watched as Nathan fell into a deep sleep, before turning his attention to Kirsten. He could see that she wasn't happy with Lucas's condition, and that worried him. He looked around, going from one sleeping figure to the next, then back to the area around them. He quickly did a scan before he looked at his watch, another hour to go before his shift ended.
He turned his attention back to the darkness, listening to everyone's deep breathing, and Ben's loud snoring.
Kirsten made sure Nathan was a sleep before removing the bandage away.
As she began to clean the dried blood from the inflamed injury, her initial rush of adrenaline began to fade and her heart sank. She had seen lots of injured men in her time and she knew just by looking that the still, colourless body, meant that he was in a bad way.
She took a clean cloth and poured some alcohol onto it, knowing that it would help burn out some infections. She gentle rubbed the alcoholic cloth onto the wound. Her worried dejectedly, her anxiety increasing as Lucas remained totally unresponsive to the intense pain she was causing. She lowered the cloth, having cleaned the wound the best she could. She noticed some blood oozing between two stitches, she looked closer to see that one stitch had broke.
With a sign, she picked up a needle, and did a quick stitch. She made sure that the stitches were stronger, she lowered the needle back into her bag.
She replaced the bandage again, making sure that no dirt would enter. She looked at the figure before her, his skin had a greyish tint to it, sweat still covered his innocent face. She picked up the cloth which covered his forehead, as she dunked it into the cool water, before placing back onto it rightful place.
She did everything she could, it was now down to Lucas.
"You fight it, you hear me, fight!" she begged the motionless body.
Lucas felt pain explode through his body as he felt his wound burnt. It felt like his blood was on fire, burning him alive. He wanted to scream, to cry for help, but his body didn't respond. His screams echoed in his head, begging for mercy from the overwhelming pain, but the pain never ended. He was trapped, tortured. He wanted to move away from the pain, but his body didn't respond. He felt his heartbeat, as he felt it pounded against his chest against his aching ribs. That's all there was, just the beating, the pain, and the screaming....
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
