A Hero to the Rescue

Jake winced a bit when the healer called him the girl's friend. He wasn't even exactly sure if he knew her, even if she did look familiar. But it wasn't in his nature to just leave someone hurt to fend for themselves. And it seemed that she would die if she was left there, so he had to help her. He wasn't sure sure what to respond when the healer said he could wait until she woke up.

"I'll stay with her. You must be very busy with the illness going around, I wouldn't want to keep you here longer than needed." he smiled at the healer and looked at the girl. Her face was so familiar but he was far from being able to place a name to her face.

It had been almost twenty four hours since Cecilia had been carried into St. Mungos Hospital half dead and a slim chance of living when she regained consciousness. Her mind went into hyper drive as she started to freak out. Felix, he was going to come looking for her. He was going to want her back. She lifted her good arm up to her neck, and there it was that stupid collar still around her neck. “Get it off,” She almost screamed clawing at the leather thing around her neck that bore her name and blood. “Get it off! Get it off!” She screamed louder and louder as she continued to claw at her neck.

Jessica turned sharply the girl should not have woken so son but she had and now was tugging at something around her neck. Jess walked over and took the girls hand " shush, I'll deal with that. " she said softly, her tone light and warm, her hand crossed the catch and it sprung open sliding it off she saw the red marks that told her it had been on along time her hand touched where it had sat and she started to heal them as well .

Stepping back she looked at the collar and sighed " Cecilla Krum, is that your name?" she asked softly as she placed the leather collar down on the tray next to Cecilia she cast a small barrier spell around it and smiled to her. " Cecilia do you know where you are?" she asked taking her hand in her own and checking her vitals. finding them to be almost normal she placed Cecilla's good arm back under the covers.

There was almost a calming affect as Jessica took off the collar. It was like she was removing him from her. Hearing her name she nodded slightly and tried to sit up but failed do to the pain coming from her arm and leg. "Looks like St. Mungo's, but how'd I get here?" she murmured an answering question. "My leg, I can't move it, nor my arm." she said wincing in pain. unlike the last time she had woken up in St. Mungo's there had been no brain damage and she could remember everything that had happened. She wished she could forget the horrible painful details, and because of those she began to panic again. "Where is he?" She asked looking up at Jess with scared worried eyes full of pain.

He'd thought that she would be asleep for much longer than she actually had, and when she woke up he was kind of startled by her sudden screaming and clawing at her neck. He looked at what she was clawing at on her neck and he saw she had a collar on her. How'd he not notice that before? The healer went over to her to take the collar off and she read the name that was apparently on the blood stained collar. At the name Jake's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the girl. "Cecilia ...?" he said softly. That was why she'd seemed so familiar ... Jake winced at his stupidity for not realizing who she was before. But then again no one could blame him, it was kind of hard to tell with the cuts and bruises all over her body.

Cecilia asked where he was and Jake raised an eyebrow. He got up from where he was sitting and he slowly approached the bed where she lay. "Who's he, Cecilia?" he asked her in a soft tone. He didn't want to scare her anymore than she already seemed to be by asking questions in a forceful manner.

Cecilia heard the male voice her heart racing as she glanced over at him and almost sighing in relief as she saw it wasn't barker, but Jake Collins the guy she had had a crush on for most of her life. But yet she wasn't comfortable, which was odd for Cecilia, she had always felt comfortable around Jake. Shaking her head she refused to answer. it was almost like how she couldn't tell about the spice she had bought. Biting her lip she pooped herself up with her one non-broken arm. "I.. I can't say his name," She murmured and looked away from the two adults that stood beside the bed she lay on. "I'm sorry," she said quietly.

Jess smiled seeing the Girl awake hearing her name she looked at her " Cecilia " she said softly she placed her hand on Cecilia feeling all was healing and she would be fine now Jess tucked Cecilia in and wrote her notes " ok I will come back later, you have an hour before visiting is over don't make her talk for too long as she needs rest" she told Jack and turned to leave the room she knew they would both be fine now as they sorted out what to do next. Jess turned and left the room.
