It makes me mad, so mad, that I can't help her, that I can't help Ruby, she's hurting, in so much pain and there's not a damn thing I can do.
He stared out of the tiny cabin window at Slade and Ebony, who were kissing, their desire evident for all those around to see.
Desire, was that all he felt for Ruby? Was there something more? He wanted her, he couldn't deny it, but he felt something else as well, something deeper, something more.
Her moans break my train of thought and instantly I am by her side. I crouched next to her and stroke the strands of blonde hair off of her damp forehead, she cries out for me her eyes glazed with fever, delirious.
"Don't leave me" She cries.
I sink down next to her and lift her against me, it rips at my soul to see her in so much pain, I have never felt so helpless.
"I've got you" I whisper soothingly, "Its ok Ruby, I'm not going anywhere".
I glance up as the door opens and Amber enters the cabin, the stricken look on my face tells her without words the grim truth about the extent of Ruby's injuries.
"She's dying, isn't she?" She asks, I nod unable to look at her as I struggle to stay in control of my emotions.
"I think she's bleeding internally, her temperature is raging" I inform her, "She's in so much pain" I say my voice breaking.
Amber almost began to feel sympathetic towards Ram, he was no longer a power crazy genius, he was just a guy who would do anything to save the girl he loved from suffering any further pain, he sat cradling Ruby in his arms, his guard down as he grieved for what might have been and the girl who wasn't yet dead.
