Heate Eissilent 2

Ladybug and Starshine Step Up.

I don't own anything besides Heather and I have Kate's permission to use her…and please please please review :)

Kate's POV

I watched as one of the twins ran over and picked Heather up off of the lift. She looked terrible! There was a giant gash from her knee to her upper thigh and her lip was swollen and bloody. Her nose also looked in really bad condition; it wasn't broken but it was almost there. I followed him into our room and he set her down on her bed as gently as possible. Anala brought in a large bowl filled with hot water and a wash cloth. Jacob came in with a first aid kit and asked everyone besides Anala and myself to leave. They did as they were told and shut the door behind them.

Jacob reached up and pulled up Heather's shirt to reveal a large bruise covering her whole left side. I cringed and waited patiently for the inspection to continue. Jacob also pulled down the top of her sweats to see that she also had a large bruise on her hip. He pulled them back up and got into the first aid kit and pulled out some weird string and a needle.

"I'm going to need you two to clean out the gash on her leg and the rest on her face," he said while he put gloves on. He threw us each a pair of gloves as well and we put them on obediently. I looked up at him while I was putting my gloves on to see him sterilizing the needle.

"How do you know how to do this stuff?" I asked curiously. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Three and a half years of med school. I dropped out to dance and my family wasn't happy about it. I was the only one in my village to get in on scholarship to a school here in America. After I got enough money to survive, and I found the vault, I dropped out," he said. I looked back to see Anala already working on Heather's gash so I picked up another wash cloth and helped her. 10 minutes later the wound was clean and Jacob set to work.

I got up and walked out to the others. They were all sitting around and talking and I heard them stand up and rush towards me. I was staring at the ground and the questions kept coming.

"Is she okay!" Moose yelled.

"What happened?" Luke asked frantically. I waved my hand at them to shut up and they did. Jacob walked out behind me with Anala. The bowl of hot water was now blood red and you could tell everyone feared the worst. The rags were just soaked with Heather's blood and I saw Moose sink into the nearest chair and lay his head in his hands. Jacob stepped up with a smile on his face.

"She's going to be alright. She needs plenty of rest and someone there to watch her at all times but she'll recover. I'm afraid she won't be able to battle at Red Hook though," Jacob finished. Everyone sighed in relief and some even got up to go check on her. I knew what she'd want when she woke up so I headed to the kitchen.

"Does somebody want to go out and get some orange juice and ingredients for chocolate ship cookies? I'll pay!" I yelled so it would carry through the vault. Soon everyone was in the kitchen and staring at me weirdly. Moose was the first to speak up.

"You're going to have to explain," he said. I smiled and then got two bowls from the top of one of the cabinets.

"When Heather wakes up she's going to want two things; orange juice and chocolate chip cookies. Now I know it's a lot of work but she obviously went through something bad so why not go the extra mile to make her feel better? Plus I don't know where the store is," I finished. I heard someone chuckle and I turned to see Natalie walking towards me.

"I'll go and don't worry about the money, I can pay," she said. I thanked her and she left. The others spread out through the vault to dance or play video games. The twins and Moose stayed back with me and we talked about pretty much everything until Natalie came back with everything I asked for. The twins put the orange juice in the fridge and I got out all of the tools I would need to make cookies. I saw Natalie already measuring out the flour and sugar. I looked at her funny.

"You don't have to help me. I can do it if you want to go do something else," I said. She shook her head and waved me off.

"I love baking. I think that Heather deserves the best cookies possible right now," she finished with a smile. Soon enough we had a TON of cookies and I heard a scream of pain. I dropped what I was doing and I ran in to check on Heather. She was writhing in pain and holding her leg and side.

"WHAT THE HELL! ARE THESE STITCHES? SON OF A BITCH THEY HURT LIKE HELL!" She screamed. I laughed and she looked at me with so much hatred I almost ran out of the room. "WHAT!" she screamed at me. I looked at her and smiled.

"They wouldn't hurt so much if you would stop moving, plus your whole left side is black and blue. You'll get used to the stitches and they won't hurt at all. You're wound is still new. What the hell happened to you by the way?" I asked. She let her head fall onto her pillow and thought for a minute. Her eyes shot opened and then she signaled for me to shut the door. I did so and then sat back down and waited patiently. She leaned up near my ear and began whispering.

Heather's POV

"Alright so I was exercising right and I felt someone was behind me when I was jogging so I started to run like hell. I was already worn out from all the earlier exercising but that wasn't my problem. My ear buds fell out of my ears and they tripped me up which got me my wounds. I was running pretty hard and it hurt like a bitch when my face collided with the pavement. Oh dude before I forget to tell you that your step-brother is TOTALLY hot. Anyway the guy chasing me was dragging me into this alley and I was fighting as much as I could but then right when I was about to give up the guy dropped me and ran and Julien picked me up and he brought me back to the vault. Now I'm in immense pain and I'm hungry!" I yelled. She looked blank for a moment and then got up and left the room to return with cookies and orange juice. "I LOVE YOU!" I screamed and totally inhaled the plate of cookies and knocked back the orange juice. She took the plate and cup from me and stood up. She went to turn and walk out but she stopped.

"Wait, you think my step-brother is hot!" She yelled. I raised my hands and then pointed at the stitches in my leg. She sighed angrily and I knew that once I was better I would get it. She was walking out of the door when I remembered something.

"KATE WAIT COME BACK!" I screamed. I heard her sigh and she re-entered my room. I smiled at her. "By the way Kid Darkness says 'hi'," I said happily. I saw her blush and mumble something and then she walked out. Ah this is going to be fun; I wish I didn't have stitches though I hate needles! Wait! Who gave me stitches in the first place! They better have sterilized that needle or I am going on a hunt!
