When Darkness Falls

[Screech]

After an hour, light had begun streaming in through the windows, and Constable walked out of his 'operating theatre', wiping his hands on a cloth. He was somewhat suprised to find more people in his home than had originally come to him, but he sighed, deciding to dismiss it, even if it was rude, and a bit irritating.

"I've done what I can for your friend. I've cleaned him up, and stitched his mack together. However, I'm afraid there was nothing I could do to save his eye. The damage was too extensive. I would like to keep him here for the next few hours at least, just to make sure that, when he comes round, he doesn't try to undo what I have done"

 

[Ithica]

Amelia stood up when the doctor walked in. He didn't look happy. He explained Dahmnall's condition and she said,

"Thank you, doctor. How long until he regains consciousness?"

 

[Screech]

Constable scratched the back of his head. "Hard to say. He was out when you braught him in and, judging by his responses, didn't need to be administered pain releif. But, in my professional opinion, and judging from his wounds, he should be awake within the hour. I've left a general anastetic in there in case he needs it, but all he should feel is a mild itch"

 

[Mystical Avalon]

She watched and waited. Despite the fact that she looked nothing like a vampire with her blonde hair and blue eyes, she seemed well at ease watching the others. Hoping they would soon take note, she smelled the distinct coppery smell of blood. Ah, how wonderful. Blood.

Dahmnall

Dahmnall surged up, looking around. "Where am I? GRANDDA? UNCLE PATRICK? AMI?" he yelled in a panic

 

[Ithica]

“I think someone is at your door.”

Amelia told the doctor. Then Dahmnall could be heard panicking, so Amelia ran past the doctor and into the other room.

“Dahmnall it’s ok. Lie back down.”

Amelia flinched when she saw the bandages over his eye. The doctor said that he couldn’t save the eye. Maybe if it had been later in the evening Dahmnall would have been able to heal himself. Amelia sat down on the bed and said,

“You were hurt pretty bad. We took you to a private doctor. How do you feel?”

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"My face hurts like hell." Dahmnall said. He looked around "Why cant i see out of my left eye? What happened? did i actually kill that weird vamp bitch?"

 

[Ithica]

“You need to relax. Yes, she is dead. You passed out and Alric, the slayer that helped us, helped bring you to the doctor. Would you like some water?”

Amelia wasn’t sure about how to tell him about his eye and knew she was fidgeting which could be bothering him so she got up and started to leave.

“I don’t think the doctor gave you enough painkillers maybe he can give you more, if you need it. I could go get him.”

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"No i hate medicine, but i could use some water." He said feeling quite thirsty

 

[Ithica]

"You had about an hour of surgery. I can't imagine why you would be thirsty."

Amelia walked over to the sink and got him some water. She sat back down on the bed and made sure he had enough coordination to get the water.

"How much do you remember of the fight with Cecillia?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

Dahmnall drank the water "Not much, i kinda went cuchulainn on her" he said chuckling slightly "i remember she slashed my face, and i slashed hers with me axe."

 

[Ithica]

At least he is in a good mood Amelia thought to herself. She took the glass from him and held his hand.

"Do you know the limits of how far you can heal yourself?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"yes, for instance the big ole bite in my shoulder should be gone." dahmnall said
"What time is it?"

 

[Ithica]

"It's after 4:00. The doctor wants to keep you for a few hours. Do you want me to phone your Uncle?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"whatever happened to my face wont heal up due to my healing factor now, and yes please, his numbers in my cell under "Uncle Paddy"" Dahmnall said. "Where are the doctor and other slayer, so i may thank them."

 

[Ithica]

"There was someone at the door. I'm sure the doctor will be in soon to check on you."

Amelia got his cell phone and briefly talked to his Uncle. She explained that Dahmnall had been hurt and gave him the address. Amelia was pretty sure that if she didn't keep moving she would fall asleep. When she got off the phone she said,

"I'm sorry about what happened Dahmnall."

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"Dont worry about it Ami, i had to protect you, and its all part of the job." dahmnall said "i must be even uglier now then i was before judging from the way me face hurts."

 

[Ithica]

She thought back to how vicious the fight between Dahmnall and Cecillia got and was thankful that Dahmnall and Alaric had been there. She didn't think that she would have lived through a fight like that. But would things have gotten as bad if she hadn't tried to protect that man. Maybe Dahmnall would have been paying attention to Cecillia rather than to her.

"Isn't it my job to protect you too?"

Amelia looked back over at him and smiled,

"I believe it will take a little more that a few bruises, and an eye patch to make you ugly, honey."

She gave him a wink and laughed.

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"thank you darlin' i hope....eyepatch?" he said in shock "so when she slashed my face, she...?" he said not able to say the words.

 

[Ithica]

He looked so horrified she couldn't look at him anymore.

"The doctor said that he couldn't do anything to help. There was too much damage to your eye. But the doctor doesn't know what you are. There could be a chance you will be ok. I'm so sorry, Dahmnall."

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"Its alright, Im alive and you are unhurt. thats all that matters." he could feel his eyeball was gone. "so eye patch or glass eye?" he said with a weak chuckle

 

[Ithica]

She went to go get him some more water and sat beside him.

"Go for the eye patch it's more mysterious. Well, it works in soap opera's anyway."

She was trying to joke around with him but couldn't quite find it funny.

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"Eyepatch it is then lass." Dahmnall said "This is why hunters dont get many dates." he said chuckling

 

[Ithica]

"I thought it was the hours you keep. Are you going to be ok? Can I get you anything?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall

"Kiss me?" Dahmnall said "I almost died tonight, not knowing what that felt like."
