Nathaniel's Obsession
"Don't fucking dare me, Isobel. Get out," Rafael said harshly to her as she walked into his room with a glass of water and some painkillers. She saw how his face jaw and cheek were swollen. Nathaniel had purposely avoided his eyes.
"Oh please. I'm only here because grandma sent me. Now stop shouting," Isobel lied. She came because he had been in there alone and she was concerned.
"Okay drop the stuff and get out," Rafael said. She watched how he sat up without even showing he was in pain. Her brothers definitely knew how to hide their pain.
"She wants to know how you're feeling," Isobel said with her head held high. It was then Rafael knew she was lying.
"Get out Isobel. I won't repeat myself," Rafael said glaring at her now.
"Or what?" Isobel asked nonchalantly.
"You really want to find out?" Rafael asked getting to his feet. He didn't even scare her at all.
"If you so much as give me a bruise Nathaniel will kill you and I'm sure you're already in enough pain," Isobel said raising her eyebrow at him, daring him. They both knew she was saying the truth. He was not even going to try pushing her out of the room.
"I don't talk to sluts," Rafael said getting back into bed.
Isobel gasped at his words. It really shocked her hearing Rafael call her a slut. Her eyes watered.
"Did you really just say that?" Isobel asked. She didn't know what else to say.
"If the fucking shoe fits," Rafael said hardening his heart as he stared into her eyes. He thought she would say something back, but what she did shocked him.
Isobel got his bed and hugged him. He knew she was crying because of how she sniffled, exactly the same way she did when she was young. He was always the one to protect her and stop her from crying, but now he was actually the one hurting her.
"I'm sorry Rafael. I know you're disappointed, but I can't take it anymore. The way you speak to me, the way you look at me, it's killing me inside. Just stop please," Isobel said through her tears.
Rafael was shocked to silence. He didn't even know why he was so angry. The thought of almost losing Nathaniel. There had been so much blood and Isobel being in the hands of those criminals only showed how vile they were and it only proved to him now that the De Rosas had killed his parents.

Rosalyn stared at Doctor Hunter as he spoke. She was having a hard time concentrating and listening to the lecture he was giving them in the skills lab. The lab was full of interns this time, it was unusual because most interns liked staying away from the lab. Today, Doctor Hunter was going through a procedure with them and this was the time all the interns decided to show up. She was glad she was upfront. There was nothing more she loved than being on his service. He was the best teacher and he also had a wonderful personality.
"Dr. Mason, can you answer the question?" Doctor Hunter called her name startling her. She was shocked to hear him call her and she had also not been paying attention so she had no clue about what he was asking her.
"Dr. Mason," When Doctor Hunter called her name again she physically felt her cheeks redden. She didn't know what to say.
"Um..I-" Rosalyn didn't get to speak, because another intern beat her to it. She looked down at her notes, only to see she had been scribbling all along. She looked up in time to catch his questioning look. She had only just finished Dr, Weiss' punishment and now she was sure she was going to cop it from Doctor Hunter. She sighed as she willed herself to listen.
