I wake up to Newt looming over me. "Gah!" I scream. "Geez, you don't have to be so jumpy! You're safe now. With me..." He trails off. "And Rosie!" He adds quickly. I give him a confused look. "Why were you watching me sleep?" I ask him. "Ivy, there is something I have been wanting to tell you for some time now." I am so confused, he has never used this tone before. He continues," I-I-I..." He is interrupted by the door opening. We both jump, ready to face whatever threat is near...
Rosie walks in. "Good morning, Ivy!" She chirps. "How was your rest?" "Uhh" I manage. "Good!" She says, seeming to not hear my inarticulate response. She finally notices Newt, looking like a deflated balloon. "Newt, what are you doing here?" She thunders. He mumbles a reply I can't hear. "Out! Out! Out!" She shoos him out of my bedroom and shuts the door.
I am always amazed at the level of leadership Rosie has over us. The others, too. A short, stocky woman of about twenty, she can cook, clean, and do pretty much anything required of her. "Well, now that that's taken care of, we can finally get down to business." She nods at my arm. I finally notice the bulky wrappings on it.
As I peer at the bandages, I see that a few specks of blood have seeped through. How long have I had this, I wonder. Rosie seems to read my mind. "You came home last night with your arm bleeding badly. I wrapped it up." Then, I noticed my shirt is changed.
"Oh,yes, we also changed your shirt. The one you had on was filthy and blood-soaked." We!!! I think. Who is we?? Rosie and... and... Newt? She doesn't explain, and I am too afraid to ask. I pull my shirt over my head, and she changes the bandages. I wince as as applies the medical ointment. She doesn't even stop to make sure I am okay. She looks at me and says, "This will hurt a bit, so don't scream." She whips out a syringe and sticks me with it. As she pushes down the plunger, it feels like the vial is full of molten steel. I scream in agony.
Newt bursts through the door. "Ivy, what's wrong?" He turns on Rosie. "What did you do to her?" I have never see him this mad before. "It's alright Newt! She just gave me a shot!" "Of what?" He asks, still wary. "To counteract Tetanus, you great ape!" He realizes that I am in no danger. He looks at me and realizes I am not wearing a shirt. He turn on his heel and runs out of the room, cheeks on fire.
Rosie looks at me and bursts out laughing. "Looks like someone has a crush!" I just stand there, mortified. She laughs for a while, finished with my arm, then walks out of the room. I hear another peal of laughter as she walks into the kitchen, where Newt is. I put my shirt back on and lie down in bed.
Why does everything have to be so COMPLICATED???
