Cambria couldn't remember the last time she had ever felt so completely drained. The only time that seemed to come close to this was when she had been recovering from her accident with the white powder when she had been a little pup. The level of depression and despair was not quite there this time around, but she knew that she felt more tired and run down than she had back then. The Marino still wanted to hope that this was all nothing but a bad dream and that she would wake up from it soon, but with each day that passed the reality became inescapable. Her little sister had fallen from the roof of the mansion. She had hit her head, and ever since she had not woken up. The Medicus had trained herself and been trained to heal external and internal injuries, to make someone better when they became ill. She had never been prepared for anything like this though.


It was a godsend to have Amata back who could help her try to figure out what they could do for their little sister, but they both had run out of things to try fairly early on. All they could really do now was to make sure Artemis got her water and what little liquid nourishment they could get her to swallow. The rest was just a waiting game. All they could do was hope and pray that Missa would wake back up. Their mother barely left the room where her sleeping daughter had been placed, constantly watching over her. That was another worry, in her state of distress, her mother had not been taking good care of herself. The cocoa fey had never seen her mother look so frail. She was barely eating, barely sleeping and her ears seemed deaf to any pleas that her two healer daughters made.


Artemis' accident and subsequent condition would have been a hard enough blow, but their adoptive brother had blamed himself for what had happened and had ran away in the middle of the night. Cambria watched as her mother felt the internal battle of wanting to help both her children and being unable to do so. She so wished there was something more that she could do to help. If only she could wake Artemis up...but she couldn't.


It was Cambria's shift to keep an eye on her sister. Finally Savina had fallen asleep out of sheer exhaustion and the slim Marino girl had covered her mother in a blanket carefully. She sat next to her little sister's bedside, her own eyes weary and hollow-looking. Please wake up Artemis...please. The silver-toned girl just lay there though, unchanged. Her breathing was still steady and clear, they could all be thankful for that, at the very least.
