Love and Roses

chapter 6, an accident

Her previous thought had been wrong, to her dismay she could not find the way back to her room, Celine of course already knew this but wanted to let her try. She had simply been lost at first, but taking another wrong turn she slipped and tumbled down a few stairs. A little yelp of pain escaped her mouth as she tried to sit up, she had bent her arm in the wrong direction.

Celine was already rushing to her as Rose started to call out for her, finding her on the floor she rushed and kneeled beside her. "Are you ok? Where does it hurt?," she exclaimed worriedly. Rose held up her arm, it wasn't broken but a bruise had already started to form around the area. Celine didn't think she could help her properly here, so she gently picked her up and started walking to her room.

Rose felt a strange feeling of safety in her arms, after a little bit of a walk they reached a door, Celine pushed it open revealing her own bedroom. It was colossal inside, a large window on the west wall was blocking the light with gorgeous curtains of blue and gold. Her bed was in the middle of the room, a lacy canopy framing the edges. It looked very elegant, yet also cozy. Celine brought her over to the bed, placing her down carefully then walking away again.

Rose looked around, taking in the looks, the feel and the scent. She had been focused on a painting on the wall of a girl, a beautiful young girl with jet black hair framing her face and shoulders. She was wearing a very pretty gown and holding a red rose in her hand. She was startled and looked up as Celine approached her again, she was carrying a medium sized red bag. Rose tilted her head and Celine smiled softly at her, "it's a medical bag, bandages and all of that."

She smiled slightly and nodded, Celine started to grab things from inside the bag, setting down wipes, an ice pack and a tensor bandage. Rose watched quietly until Celine picked up her arm to look at it, she blushed lightly at the touch. "I can't get a good look at it with this sleeve, can you pull it up for me?" Celine asked and looked at her. She nodded and tried to pull it up, but it was too tight to go up far enough and it hurt to try. "Here I can just– ," she slipped her arms out of the sleeves and pulled the dress down to her torso, blushing harder now.

Celine also went a light shade of pink but stayed focused on her arm, carefully wiping the area then inspecting it. Rose worked to keep herself from wincing when she touched it, "ok... It's not broken or anything, just hurt." Celine said calmly to her. She nodded and watched as she started to bandage it, "I can give you medicine for the pain as well." Rose nodded again, when she'd finished bandaging it she smiled at her and handed her a little pill and a small container of water.

She swallowed the pill and looked at her, she was tired and sore now, but still not unhappy.
