Tw: description of blood and wounds, bit of gore (let me know if I missed any)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wake up wake up wake up
Wake up
WAKE UP
A loud thud from inside the bedroom caused the girl to jump awake, falling off the couch in the process as her head to snap upward and towards the sound. She blew her long brown hair out of her face, quickly scrambling off the floor and practically running into her bedroom as she spotted the heaving figure sprawled across the floor. She rushed to the person's side, placing a hand best she could across her trembling shoulders slowly lifting the 'passed out' woman back onto the bed.
She was still confused as to who the hell this person even was and why they were hanging from the trees in the forest, bleeding out. Let alone why she had even brought the stranger home to care for.
~•Flashback•~
The girl screamed, almost falling on her back as she stumbled at the sight before her.
There swung an upside down figure, vines entangled themselves around her limbs and body to tightly. She wore ripped white robes with light blue ends and torn up black leggings, if they could even be called pants anymore in their terrible shape. Black gloves stemming past her elbows with white tips reached out for the trembling girl weakly, blood dripping down from her face where a large gash across her left eye laid, covering the sea blue eyes that were dull with little to no life.
The girl would have thought she was dead if not for the occasional twitch of the body. However the thing that caught her attention the most was the pair of white wings held down by the vines, they were beautiful and quite large from what she could see, though one appeared to be shorter than the other blood dripping from its tips clearly it wasn't supposed to be like that as the feathers were messy and uneven, seemingly ripped away in an unkindly manner.
The girl's heart dropped as she stepped back further, extremely confused and scared as to what the hell was happening but mostly, concern swept over her and she decided (although she believed she was being stupid) to cut the stranger down and at least heal their wounds.
~•Flashback over•~
And so here she was, tending to a random stranger...who had wings... and appeared to have a huge fight... and could be dangerous....
Yea this was stupid.
After grabbing some new bandages she moved to replacing the now bloodied ones on her body and wings. Granted it was a little awkward due to all the slight twitching the random person's wing did and carefully moving the bandages around her legs without being weird.
Since the girl lived alone she normally didn't treat other people's wounds, let alone someone who probably had a completely different type of body than the regular person living in the area. Giving this winged person any kind of regular medicine was risky but she was willing to take the chance, after all if the medicine did in fact weaken them that might be a good thing. She could be dangerous and could try and attack the moment she woke up, or, immediately try and fly to tell her people other species exist and a full fledged attack could be made on Earth!
Her hands flew to her head, cupping her face in worry as she took a few steps away from the figure.
"Oh god, did I just single handedly destroy the entire planet because I cared for some random lady?! Ooooh she's going to send a signal of some kind and then kill me! I mean after all I'm a witness aren't I? I caught her and brought her home!" She stopped, "oh god she's going to think I kidnAPPED HER!" Her voice cracked as she began pacing, continuing to ramble on and on, completely forgetting that said women was laying on her bed,
"Oh lord I'm doomed I'm so fucking doomed! Aaaaa, why'd you have to bring in a winged lady, she has wings for gods sake! She could have flown away or something!" She glanced at the figure laying on her now blood stained sheets. In her panic she had completely forgotten of the state of the woman. Her battered and bruised body was stained with blood and her one of her wings were snapped in half, the bone of her wing wasn't even left on.
She walked closer, eyebrows furrowing as pity washed over her, all sense of panic she had mere moments ago completely disappearing from her mind. She reached a trembling hand out towards the girl curled into herself on the bed. Her fingers gently touched the top of the ripped wing, it's end already bleeding onto the bed through the fresh bandages, she softly stroked the feathers being pleasantly surprised by how soft it was. It felt like a plush pillow, one made for royalty in the castle.
Her fingers reached the end of the blood stained wing, and she sighed rubbing her thumb up and down the feathers, the figure on the bed only slightly whimpering in response.
"...can you even fly?" Her voice was laced in worry as her hand moved to the girls face, gently moving the hair covering her eyes behind her ear. The bandages covering her eye were bloodied, ready for a change.
She sighed, leaning forward and setting the girl up, leaning her onto the pillows and backboard. She grabbed the roll of bandages and small rag, placing them beside her as she took off the bandages letting them fall onto her lap as she examined the scar, having to hold the girl's hair back. She grabbed the rag, gently dabbing it over the wound and cleaning around it, rubbing the blood off the girl's face. Finally she placed a piece of the cloth over her eye and grabbed the bandages, grabbing a piece of the bandages and unrolling them, wrapping it around the girl's face and over the piece of cloth making sure it stayed in place.
The girl sighed, taking a moment to glance the bandages over, slightly cupping the girl's face to do so. Whilst she was making sure the bandages wouldn't fall off, she hadn't noticed the pair of hands reaching upwards.
