The First day of spring

"No," Maya said throw clenched teeth. she didn't want to give into the pain. she didn't want to be weak at the moment. she was sure that was just the type of thing her father would have told her. Though no matter how much she didn't want to surrender she couldn't help but do as she was told and scream. Though she wasn't just up seat because of the pain but because of the realization that her future was crushed. Just like her leg. even after the bone was healed she'd have problems dancing. She'd never be as good as she had once been. "Why did i have to forget there was no prince?" she asked herself aloud.

She would have been an idiot if she hadn't given into the pain. It would release the tension in her body and Elijah was thankful when she did. He pushed her hair back out of her face and caressed her cheek in an attempt to keep her calm. She did as she was told, just as he'd hoped she would. She wouldn't feel any better but it would help her some way, he was sure of that.

"Good girl," Elijah murmured, "Good girl. Calm down. I've got you. Right."

Ignoring her added statement, Elijah set her leg down. He took his wand from his pocket and pointed it at the easel. He flicked his wand and one of the legs came off, collapsing the easel immediately. He caught it and pointed his wand at her leg. He placed a numbing spell on it. He didn't know how strong it would be but he hoped for the best. He then lifted the leg and placed the wood under it. Cursing, Elijah pulled his shirt off and put it underneath the wood and her leg. He tied it over her leg and managed to create a makeshift splint.

Satisfied with his work, Elijah hooked one arm underneath her knees and wrapped the other around her waist.

"Ready? One, two, three!"

Elijah rose to his feet, bringing Maya with him. He rubbed her back and managed a smile for her benefit.

"To the Hospital Wing then?"

Elijah started to stand with her in his arms and Maya quickly put her arms around his neck. She had panicked for a minute but now she was kind of embarrassed, her cheeks where turning red as she loosened her grip on his neck. He gave her a smile that she presumed was rather forced then spoke. She nodded slightly. Despite the numbing spell he had cast on her leg it was still kind of soar. Though not like it had been. "Right the Hospital wing," she said quietly still thinking she had been quite stupid.
Maya looked up at him as he walked the silence between them seemed odd and uncomfortable to her. She thought of something to say and carefully chose her words. "I don't think I introduced my self earlier," she said quietly, "I'm Maya Rose, and I'm terribly sorry you are carrying me to the Hospital Wing." as she looked up at him she realized he was actually quiet good looking.
