Better than the morgue... (Medic Bailey) by Abigail Thornton and Clara Abernathy

Abigail walked beside her hobbling cousin from the Pitch to the school once more. She'd promised the Coach to take her cousin straight to Medic Bailey, and she intended to keep her promise. All the while, she repeated these words over and over in her mind. Momma's gonna kill me... Momma's gonna kill me... Momma's gonna kill me... Oh bother...

The hobbling pair reached the door to the Hospital Wing and Abi opened it slowly and helped Clara to one of the beds before she called out, "Medic Bailey!"

She heard Clara groan from the bed and turned worriedly towards her cousin so fast that she could have snapped her neck clear off. "Clara? Whatsamatta?" she asked, clearly terrified that her cousin was dying or something, purely because of HER!

Clara watched her cousin fret over her on their way to the hospital wing and inwardly groaned. "God my head hurts," she mumbled behind Abi as she got into one of the beds. She heard her cousin yell for Medic Bailey and wished to god that she wouldn't yell like that since her head felt like it was going to split in two. "Could you please not scream like that?" she asked Abi softly. "That really is making my head hurt among other things." She figured that her cousin was probably still blaming herself for the accident and wanted her to stop.

"Ya know," she began, "This really isn't your fault Abs. You and I both know that eventually I always end up mangling myself in some way or another. This was just my way of mangling myself this time. Bright side is at least Coach Pierce was here to keep me from killing myself so this really isn't all that bad," she assured Abi. She laid her head back against the pillows and waited for either Abi to reply or Medic Bailey to show up whichever happened first. She just hoped he had some Asprin when he did.

"Maybe its not my fault fully, but Clara..." Abi started, albeit quietly. "If I hadn't asked, no BEGGED you go with me, you wouldn't have been here..." she added, sitting down in a chair beside the bed with a heavy sigh.

"It isn't all bad? Clara, you're in the Hospital Wing...? It surely isn't GOOD..." she said to her cousin, quiet, but yet still emphatic enough for the eleven year old to hope that she understood.

Clara grinned and shook her head. She knew her cousin was right in some very small way. If Abbs hadn't begged her she might not have had the accident and ended up where they were now, however, that does not mean that Clara might not have ended up here on her own anyhow. She was just glad that it was for a botched flight and not, for say, a botched potion that could potentially explode. "Okay so sitting here in the hospital wing does suck quite a bit," she admitted. "Its way better to be sitting here where it can be fixed than someplace where it can't. Ya know...like the morgue," she emphasized the last word to prove her point. She just hoped that it slightly made her cousin feel better and see that the situation could always have been worse. Somehow she was sure that Abi might have missed that side of her point all together.

"The Morgue?" Abi repeated after her slightly older cousin. "Way to come up with something to try to HELP the situation Clarabear..." she said, rolling her eyes. If only Uncle Bryan saw us now... she thought to herself as she shook her head at her cousin. The door to the office squeaked open and Abi turned from Clara to see Medic Bailey walking in.

OOC as asked for by Abi

Abi had begged Clara to come to Flying Class with her firstly to try to get Clara to be able to fly, but mostly because she didn't want to go alone. Finally Clara had consented to go. Abi and Clara went to class, Abi had a hard time getting her broom to go up, so she got mad and closed her eyes once she finally mounted the broom. She hears a scream, (Clara had mounted, and her broom took off like a shot into the air).

Abi opens her eyes to see this happening and screams Clara's name as she watches Clara careen around the Pitch before Coach Pierce does Petrificus Totalus and Clara lands on a mattress Coach conjures up. As this is going on, Abi has dropped her broom and is running towards Clara, thinking this was all her fault and her mother would kill her (which she wouldn't do, but to an 11 year old who begged her cousin to go do something she KNEW would prolly hurt her kinda got to her).

Abi reaches Clara and the Coach, where Clara asks how she did to which Abi is not happy about, and Coach asks if someone would take her to Medic Bailey. Abi volunteers and they go to the Hospital Wing.
