Ruby stopped again, "No Wait guys I definately heard something that time! Just stop for a minute! Everybody stop!" Ruby braced herself whatever it was seemed to be getting nearer, she hoped it was Gwen and the others, but had an uneasy feeling inside

Every muscle tensed within Nikki's body .Ruby was right, something was moving nearby. Something getting closer. She looked around to Ruby, then to Walter and finally to Paulo, all of them sharing her tense position.

"Hang on, I think I heard something,"
He managed to contain his pained grunts long enough to hear what sounded like distant voices. "Hello?" he asked the darkness, raising his voice.

Ana used a slightly more demanding tone, hoping it didn't sound too much like desperation.
"Hey! We need help here!"
She set off towards the sound of the woman's voice, practically dragging Severin and Gwen with her.

'Someone's over there...' Nikki murmered, still on edge as the distant voices continued to come closer.
'Someones in trouble' Paulo added, picking up fragments of speech in the distance
Breaking away from Paulo, Nikki began to tear through the undergrowth.'We're over here!' She cried 'Are you hurt...?' Nikki began to speak but broke off as she nearly collided into a woman appearing from a thicket of bamboo.
There was a momentary pause between but then Nikki noticed the blood on the womans hands.
'Oh God...RUBY!' Nikki cried.

Gwen tried to keep up with Ana, until they all came to an abrupt stop and found themselves staring at the other half of their original search party. "Glad to see you lot," she sighed in relief. "And yes, Severin's been hurt. Ruby, can you help him? We did the best we could..."

"And yes, Severin's been hurt. Ruby, can you help him? We did the best we could..."
Ruby looked up to Gwen, 'The tables have turned now' she thought, but it wold be selfish of her not to help out in a situation.
"Looks like it was a good idea a came after all!" she stated "Oh and by the way before you ask, Boone went back to tell the others we're fine and Nikki & Paulo here joined us shortly after you left, Right then Severin you better come with me"
Ruby grabbed Severin supporting him and took him aside from the group to help him out "So tell me what's happened?" she asked

This was certainly humiliating. To be injured, helpless, was embarassing at all, but now he had to reply on Ruby.
"So tell me what's happened?"
He looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "An arrow went through my leg."

OOC: Was the arrow taken out of his leg or not? I can't remember, m guessing it's still in their, correct me if I'm wrong and I'll go back and edit the post
"OK Severin, here's the deal, no one else in this search party has any medical knowledge but me, so before you go shooting your mouth off, just think who your talking to got it? I don't think you understadn how bad a knee injury can be, you know you can be paraylsed for the rest of your life? Do yuo fancy hopping round on crutches then?"
She looked at Severin's leg and took a more sympathetic tone.
"Severin, I'm sorry your not Gwen's doormat it's just well...you know..." she quickly changed the conversation flow
"Well whoever dressed your knee did a good job, you need to keep it clean to avoid infection , fortunately though the arrow did not hit the bone or anything that could have a long term effect it just gone through some of flesh below the actual knee bone and it has narrowly missed any other sort of bone, and although it may be painful Sev-just think it could of been worse!
She looked up to Severin.
"Now your muscles won't be feeling great and neither will you, but don't worry you just need a bit of stitching after we get this thing out, and regular clean bandages on their, and a bit of antiseptic"
She went to grab the arrow from his knee
"Right Severin brace yourself, because this will be anything but pretty!, right after three. One, two..."

"I understand the consequences of a knee injury. I've had much worse." he said through gritted teeth and wishing he had a nurse with a better bedside manner.
"Right Severin brace yourself, because this will be anything but pretty!, right after three. One, two..."
He tightened his grip n a tuft of grass, and grinded his teeth together.

She reluctantly handed Severin over to Ruby's care, knowing there was nothing more she could do at the moment. Then turned her attention to the others who'd joined them. "Nikki, Paulo, nice of you to join us," she nodded. "We ran into some trouble out there," she said, looking at Walter.

"Nikki, Paulo, nice of you to join us"
'Thats...that's okay' Nikki replied as calmly as she could, a look of dismay on her face at Severins situation.
'Sorry..she's not that good around blood' Paulo interupted, outstretching his hand towards the woman talking to them.

RUBY
"THREE.." Ruby yanked the arrow out of Severin's knee, she hoped doing it would quickly would mean less pain for Severin. Although she doubted why she was doing this for him, she tugged so hard she could feel the pain herself and as soon as the arrow came out blood began to pour. She looked down at Severin.
"Right hang on in there, I just need to stop the bleeding, she put her palms over his knee to control the blood "I understand this isn't on your top 10 favourite moments but just wait, then I'll be able to stitch it up."
Ruby gazed over at Nikki, who was looking a little pale
"Paulo, Is she Okay" she said trying to control the bleed and look away to another person at the same time "Take a seat Nikki, we're going to be here for a while, have some water just don't go collapsing on us."
She looked back at Severin
"How you doing?" she asked "Listen, Severin like I said I'm sorry for calling you a doormat and everything else, I guess I was more disappointed with you more than anything!" she sighed sympathetically

"THREE.."
"Raaaaaaaaaaargh!!" Severin had been through much worse than an arrow through his leg, and he had a high pain threshold. Still, Ruby was anything but gentle, and he felt the edges of the arrow scrape into yet more flesh as it was ripped out.
"Listen, Severin like I said I'm sorry for calling you a doormat and everything else, I guess I was more disappointed with you more than anything!"
He breathed in and out rapidly, realizing that maybe Ruby was having trouble understanding it wasn't the best time to have a conversation with someone. At least wait until I've stopped bleeding. "Ruby, I've honestly forgotten and I don't care anymore." he said truthfully.

'THREE..'
'Not that good around blood's a bit of an understatement' Nikki mumbled, feeling her stomach turn as Ruby wrenched the arrow out of Severins leg.
"Paulo, Is she Okay?"
'Ah...It's difficult to tell...but she's going a bit pale though' Paulo added in reply, looking up at Nikki's colour-drained complexion.
"Take a seat Nikki, we're going to be here for a while, have some water just don't go collapsing on us."
'She's right Nikki this could take a while... you had better sit down you don't look too good' Paulo said, helping her to the ground.

Ruby looked at Paulo, he was caring and considerate not like most other men Ruby had met in her life, 'Maybe it's a Brazillian thing' she thought before turning her attention back on Severin
"Ruby, I've honestly forgotten and I don't care anymore." he said truthfully.
"Yeah I understand this isn't the best of times for a heart to heart or wahtever you call it, but it feels like this is the only time I can talk to you. When Gwen's not breathing down my throat" she said "Don't tell her I said that, I really don't feel like roud two today!"
She took her hand off Severin's knee
"Right bandages, she said looking through her medical pack. The bleeding is stablelized you'll still feel a bit of pain and you'll have to be on crutches for a few days, so it's no more action man adventures for a while I'm afraid." she smiled at him
"Oh before I forget you need some stitching" she digged around in the pack "You'd be suprised what I ahve it here" she said whiping her bloody hands on an old rag
"I should of asked if you have any sort of problems HIV, I doubt you do, it's just that its stuff like this were it can easily pass on" she wiped some of the excess blood off of Severin's knee and got her stitching equiptment out along with a bottle of antiseptic
"Now this might sting a bit" she said pouring the antiseptic on and began stitching his knee back up
She looked over at the others Ana, Gwen, Walter and Paulo. Nikki was on the floor looking very nauxious
"If you want Nikki you can try and get some rest stress and tierdness is probably adding to all this. And if you other guys could get some sticks together to make some crutches that would be great, just so he can get around on his own instead of having to be carried everywhere" she called over

((OOC: Whoa, guys. Let Ana and I get a word in here....))
'Sorry..she's not that good around blood'
"That's okay, neither am I," Gwen said, shaking Paulo's hand. "And we weren't exactly planning on any grievous injuries. Luckily, Ana was able to handle it."
"And if you other guys could get some sticks together to make some crutches that would be great, just so he can get around on his own instead of having to be carried everywhere"
She then turned her attention back to Ruby. "It doesn't look like we'll make it back to the beach before dark. If you can stabilize him, we should just stay here for the night," she suggested. "Severin's been through enough."

RUBy
Ruby gave a tired look to Gwen, she had to everything that she wanted to no one else mattered, not even her partner in crime who could of just died with an arrow through the leg.
"Fine then Gwen, I was only making a suggesting so Severin could be comfortable instead of having to get up earlier tommorrow and doing it" she sighed. For a second Ruby got the feeling that she was in control for once and maybe Gwen didn't like the fact there was a little power struggle going on.
"No we won't get back tonight, to be honest I don't think any of us were expecting to, that's why we sent Boone back, we asked him to wait for us tommorrow back were we started but whether he'll remember is another sorty. She looked at Ana--Lucia who was quieter than usual "I hope you have some sort of gun with you Ana, we might need it out here" she gave a look to Walter, Paulo and Nikki to remind them not to mention the mysterious noise-just to keep everyone calm-of course.
"How you feeling Severin? I'm nearly done now, when we get back I suggest you keep close to me and Jack though, afterall we're the only two that have proper drugs, medicines and medical equiptment with us. If you come and see me I'll change your dressings as well or if you want Gwen to do It I'll provide some for her.."

Nikk took Ruby's advice and shuffled backwards to lean against a nearby tree.
'Are you sure it's a wise decision to stay out here?' Paulo said, not letting on to what they heard earlier in fear of scaring the rest of the group.

It was a relief to be able to put Severin in the care of someone who she'd been reassured had more medical knowledge than herself, but Ana's relaxation was short lived as she stood back and watched Ruby work. To be fair, she knew what she was doing, but her technique left a little to be desired. Namely patience for her patient. If there had been any other choice, Ana would have stepped in and hauled Severin's ass back to Jack herself rather than watch him suffer when a gentler approach might have been more appropriate. But there wasn't any other choice, so Severin would just have to grin and bear it as long as he could.
While the others talked amongst themselves, Ana attempted to get the blood from off her hands. It had only been a couple of days since she'd been trying to wash Jake's blood from them. It felt like a lifetime now. She wiped her hands on her jeans leaving red smears in parallel stripes, before lifting the dog tags that she was wearing up so she could read the name on them again.
Reynolds. Jacob.
Where are you?
"I hope you have some sort of gun with you Ana, we might need it out here"
Hastily she tucked the tags back under her vest and turned to face Ruby with a frown, as if to say did she really just ask me that?
"Oh yeah, you're in luck. I brought my M16 on this trip. It's in my back pocket." Ana's sarcasm was barbed with annoyance. Then she addressed the group, making the decision for them.
"We're making camp here."
