Subject: She jumps...
In reply to: Hallie Baker 's message, "*comes in*" on 19:02:48 05/26/01 Sat

She jumps at the sudden appearance of another person, and then there's somewhat of a relief that sweeps through her, first because she wasn't a robber, and second because the sound of a woman's voice that was tinted with an Irish accent brought back good memories, but she didn't pause to enjoy them. She rushes to the woman, "Oh dear." She says, her voice is also heavily tinted with an Irish accent, and then she lowers her voice, "Listen ma'am," She says, "I know you probably cannot hear me, but there are some cases that can hear, everything's going to be alright." She says, mostly to herself. She inspects the unconcious woman, looking over her arms but there is no bite there so she moves down to the legs, and sure enough, right on her right ankle were fang marks, Phire gasps, "My gracious, those are deep." She runs out of the room and grabs a few things, she gently but quickly removes the shoe and stocking, then she takes a strip of fabric and ties it extremely tight just above the wound, then she does the same with another fabric just below the wound. She pulled out a medical knife, lancing the fang marks, blood began to run quickly out of the wound. Sapphire grabbed an instrument (Which looked like a sack with a tube connected to it with a sucction cup on the end), squoze the sack pressing air out of it, then using mouth (suction cup) of it to cover the wound then quickly releasing the sack, and blood streamed into it. She quickly emptied it and did it one more time. She then gently threw the strange instrument aside and ran to another room, coming back with a bowl of hot water with a rag in it, and a jar full of something. She quickly dabbed the area with the rag drenched in really hot water. Then she opened the jar (leeches!) and placed a leech onto a fang hole, then another, until all of the fang holes were covered. She cleaned the area as she waited, knowing the leeches were risky, then came back when the first leech died (of snake poison in the blood) She replaced that leech with another one. She continued it until many leeches had died, and then finally they stopped dying, she pulled the last leech off. She refilled her bowl of hot water mixing some medication into it ( some herbs, and alcohol) and cleaned the wound again. She then wrapped the ankle tightly with a bandage, and leaned back and wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced at the clock, wishing her father would come back. She cleaned everything up after slipping an asprin down the woman's throat, and another medication. Once the area was cleaned she looked at the woman, then bent over and gently lifted the limp body, half dragging her to a bed in another room. She layed the woman in the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin, admiring the her Irish features secretly, it had been since Sapphire's ma had died that she had seen another Irish female besides herself. Then she went back to the main room and decided she'd stay the night at the office, so she went to make her supper over the fire and wait for her father to come home back...
