Capítulo 33: Chapter 33: Doing Her Best For This
"Amethyst, you'll catch a cold if you don't bath properly," Scarlet called out to her.
"Hmmm," Amethyst obviously jumped slightly when Scarlet spoke.
She then looked at Scarlet, "Thank you for letting me use your bathroom, I'll get changed now."
Scarlet nodded before she and the caretaker stepped out of the bathroom.
Slate came out of his room the moment they closed the door.
"What happened Slate? She's in a pretty bad shape right now," Scarlet wheeled herself closer to him.
Slate sighed and walked to the kitchen to brew some coffee, it was still February and the weather was still definitely cold.
"Slate answer me!!" Scarlet said impatiently.
Slate sighed again before he started recounting what happened and what he noticed Amethyst was doing before the incident.
"She drowned right after plunging in?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, it seems her body just stopped moving the moment it entered the water and she drowned. As for the reason, I have no idea. She has to be the one to tell us," Slate answered.
Scarlet could only hold her questions in for Slate was right about that.
"And, don't ask her now. You saw her condition, it seems pretty bad that she was so out of it," Slate added just as the coffee was finished brewing.
Scarlet nodded her head before looking back worriedly at the closed bathroom door.
*****
Amethyst had been staring at her reflection for quite sometime now.
The rush of memories returned even all of the emotions she felt back then.
'I need to thank him,' she thought when she remembered that it was Slate who saved her.
"I forgot after all those commotions, I should have done it sooner"' she muttered.
"Amethyst, are you done?"
"I'm sorry, I'm coming out," she answered when Scarlet knocked on the door.
"Have some coffee," Scarlet gave her a mug as she sat down.
"Have you calmed down?" Slate asked her.
"Yes, I'm sorry about that. And thank you for everything, for saving me that is," Amethyst replied with a smile.
Slate nodded his head in response.
"Anyway, I am asking you to sleep here tonight," Scarlet sa I'd.
"Ah, no... I can't implore on you too much," she shook her head and hands.
"You are not because I am the one asking you. You don't have to tell us anything but we are your friends and you told me that you feel the same way. Knowing that you aren't in good condition, we would surely worry about you," Scarlet held her hand and said.words to describe what she was feeling.
Amethyst still wanted to say that she will be fine but she knew, just like in the past when she first left their home, being alone means that she will keep on reminiscing the things that have happened.
"Sleep in my room," Slate said when she didn't answer.
She looked up at him, she had slept there in the past because she didn't want to argue but that was still his room.
"The study room had a bed, I sleep there from time to time when I am studying some clinical cases. I barely use that room," he said before she could even open her mouth.
"Thank you," was all she could say.
Their kindness is touching her like never before.
Towards her family, all the kindness she felt was the fact that they gave birth to her.
The other things she got to do was because Emerald was there to pull her along.
But it seems as they grew up, after she closed herself to the world, Emerald had changed as well.
Changed to the woman who took her work away from her.
"Rest now, I think you really needed that right now," Scarlet said after she noticed that Amethyst had finished her coffee.
Amethyst nodded her head and Slate lead her to his room, "The sheet were already changed. Go on and rest."
She nodded her head when he once again spoke up, "I also told you to stay here because I still need to monitor you. You have drowned a while ago, there might be some effects of what had happened."
He left after saying this and Amethyst could only sigh before climbing up the bed.
She was tired, not physically but emotionally.
Tired of the memories that felt like they were happening in the present.
A tear fell from her eyes as she closes her eyes, a tear of feeling grateful she was able to meet the two of them and experienced such warmth.
"What do you think?" Scarlet asked Slate.
He knew she was referring to the story they were trying to finish.
"If she can't, I can remove a part or two on the scenario I was thinking," she added.
"No, you have to speak about this with her. Amethyst was doing her best for this," Slate stopped her.
"What do you mean?" she asked seeing how confident he was.
"I have noticed it since that time in Burnham Park, she was out of it, every time she looks at the water. And today, she didn't directly went straight to getting into character and was actually doing something else. By how pale she would get from time to time Nad her seeming breathing to calm herself down. I can tell she wanted to overcome whatever it is she wants to overcome and do your story," he explained.
"She was doing that?" she asked in shock, she didn't expect that Amethyst would go this far in helping her.
"I can tell that she is someone who knows how to return good with good," Slate sighed and said this.
*****
Amethyst was having the nightmare of her past but as it gets too bad, warmth would radiate starting from her hand, spreading to her whole body.
The nightmare would disappear and she would feel calm again, leading to a deeper sleep.
This happens quite a few times until she had finally woken up the next day.
She wasn't as energized because of those nightmares but she wasn't feeling too weak, so it was a good enough rest.
As she sat up, she noticed that there was an IV drip connected to her and a basin of water on the bed side table.
She tilted her head to the side not understanding what had happened while she was asleep.
"You're finally awake."
She looked towards Scarlet who wheeled herself in.
She has a tray on her lap with food in it.
"You should probably eat your brunch now," she then said handing it over to her.
"Brunch?" Amethyst asked in confusion.
"Yes my dear. It is already half past 1 in the afternoon. You were sleeping quite peacefully that we couldn't really wake you up," Scarlet chuckled.
Amethyst blinked a few times as she heard of this.
"Anyway, that is normal since you ended up having a fever last night."
Amethyst, who was about to eat, whipped her head towards Scarlet.
"Fever?"
Scarlet laughed, "Yes, the reason you slept long was because you ended up having a fever. It was a good call to let you stay here, Slate was able to monitor you properly."
"Then that basin?" she asked pointing at the basin of water on the bed side table.
"Other than the IV drip, he used the conventional method of helping to lower your temperature. You wouldn't wake up to take your medicine, that is why there was an IV drip," she explained.
She felt embarrassed before she remembered something again, "Are you alone? Did you look after me, after he left?"
Seeing Scarlet she knew that Slate had left but for Scarlet to look after her.
"Relax, the caretaker is here, she was the one who took over looking after you. Though there really was nothing she would do because by daybreak, you are already better. So go on and eat now."
She could only comply, a thank you is already over rater, all she needs to do now is to get better in order to continue what she was doing.
