WHO: Juniper and Edward
WHAT: Playing doctor
WHEN: Midday, Day Five
WHERE: Juniper's Room/Outside
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Complete

Juniper was in pain. Physical, mental, emotional...Was there another version? Spiritual? Yeah, she was that too. At least there was so much going through her head that was completely unrelated to what had happened to her that Edward wouldn't get wind of it. Edward. If he found out what had gone on that morning...She didn't want to think about it. He'd be completely uncontrollable. As if she could control him to begin with. But anyway, as it was, all she could think about was how badly her hand hurt, peppered with the occasional flash of irritation at the fact that the object of Edward's desire was in the City now too. Not only did that suck for Juniper, but it was going to suck for the Bella girl as well, because Juniper was definitely not letting her within a hundred meters of Edward. The last thing she wanted to witness was a blood bath, and she didn't want Edward to have to deal with the guilt of that afterward. Not to mention the fact that Jareth would rip him apart...

Anyway, after Edward promised to come over and look at her hand, Juniper tried to get dressed. Tried being the operative word. The attempt at getting the pair of jeans that had been provided on was abandoned, as she couldn't get her fingers to move enough to button them. Thankfully, she found a loose, elastic-wasted peasant skirt in the closet, and so Juniper was able to get that on with one hand, so that was good. A white fitted t-shirt, on the other hand, proved to be too much for her. She couldn't get her injured hand through the arm hole, and so was stuck with her shirt halfway on, cutting across her body in a diagonal line, with one arm and her head in place, but the rest of the fabric stuck on her opposite shoulder. She looked like she'd tried to put on a toga upside down.

Juniper fought with her clothes and then kicked her dresser, which only hurt her toes, again, and then fell face down on her bed and just laid there. She heard Edward's mind approaching and sighed. Fair warning, I'm not completely decent, but I can't change that, so you're just going to have to deal, she warned him, not bothering to get up. Door's unlocked.

Juniper moaned in answer to Edward's question, feeling decidedly sorry for herself. Her first two knuckles were fractured, so she didn't know how much a cast would help. It was more about immobilizing it so it could heal on its own, really. But whatever, Edward was there, and she was feeling better just because of that. Well, a little bit.

"You're impossible," she grumbled, shifting to press her hip against his, needing the comfort of contact with him. "I'll be alright, I just need to not move it for the rest of my life," she joked lamely, looking at her multicoloured hand as if it had betrayed her.

She looked up at him when he asked how she'd hurt it and rolled her eyes. "I punched a wall." True, sort of, and she made sure to keep her mind away from how it actually happened. "At least I know how to punch properly, right?" she deadpanned. "Where'd you go this morning?" she asked, getting the focus off of herself for a minute.

Edward frowned and realized he was maybe being a little over protective but at the same time didn't exactly trust her not to hurt it worse. He sighed and shrugged. The splint would do for now but he still wanted the x-ray to be safe. That could be done later, however.

It would have been more natural for the memory to flash through her thoughts but it didn't and he didn't sense a lie exactly so he simply raised an eyebrow. "And did this wall do something particularly dastardly to offend you?" He smiled again but frowned when he smelled blood. He peeked at her hand and looked it over for a scratch or a cut but found it just bruised. The bruising would make the scent of blood stronger but not this potent. "Were you hurt anywhere else?"

He was distracted temporarily by her question. "I went to investigate my room, one of your 'potatoes' showed up here this morning with a key and a journal for me and then I went to check on my car and ran into a familiar face. I left you a note . . ." he glanced at the still folded piece of paper by the bed. " . . . which I see you never found."

"It insulted my intelligence," Juniper said automatically, and then realised that she sounded mildly insane. So she laughed it off. "I saw that your Bella was here," she said pointedly, raising an eyebrow at him. And really, that was enough for her to have gotten a bit peeved, so it worked.

She looked confused at his question and shook her head. "I don't think so..." she trailed off, trying to remember.

"I found it, I just got distracted, what with punching the wall and not being able to get myself dressed," she said, sitting up and gesturing to the wreck her room had become in the attempt to find something she was able to get on. "Buttons are beyond me, as is getting a shirt on, apparently," she said, tugging on said shirt, trying to cover herself as best as she could.

Edward raised an eyebrow at her and laughed but just for a moment before his expression changed drastically to one of misery. As annoyed as he was he'd thought in a way that his being here was something of a blessing. There was no chance for him to kill the Swan girl if he was trapped in some parallel universe but now . . . he sighed. It seemed he was doomed to struggle with his self control no matter where he was. Perhaps he was being tested.

"Let's splint that as best we can and then we'll see if we can't get your shirt on you properly." He released her hand and set about setting her fingers properly and getting them splinted. This really was Carlisle's area of expertise but Edward had assisted him in the past and had more than enough experience to do a better job than most doctor's would have even with the materials he had on hand. Once her hand was set and he had her properly dressed he was distracted again by the blood.

He followed the scent to a spot on her neck where two fresh puncture wounds stood staring at him. He froze absolutely still and for a moment looked like a statue. He blocked her immediately out of his mind and then spoke very softly. "You punched a wall?"

Juniper was kind of a wuss when it came to pain. Well, that was something of an understatement. While Edward set her fingers, Juniper buried her face in her pillow to keep her screams down to a minimum, and then sat back up with a tear streaked face, and gave him a little smile. After all, it wasn't his fault that it had hurt so bad. She had been the one to lose her temper in the first place, right? "Thanks," she said quietly, wiping off her face with the back of her good hand and scrubbing under her nose, taking a couple of steadying breaths.

"Shit." Juniper muttered, and then got up. "Now Edward, calm down," she begged, putting herself between him and the door, sort of. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd be pissed, and it wasn't like it was a voluntary donation or anything," she said, and then winced. Like that made it so much better right? "But he's done with me. At least, I'm pretty sure he's done, given that he was wondering whether or not I was worth the trouble after I punched him. Please just...don't do anything...please," she begged.

Edward fought with his anger and beat down the impulse to just run past her, find the offensive villian and expose him to the bright light of day. The thought of watching him rolling around trying to beat off flames was slightly satisfying and the monster inside of Edward smiled. It wasn't just human blood the monster craved but any form of violence. Edward was more than willing to let it have it's way at the moment but the consequences he knew would be worse than the reward.

"I don't appreciate being lied to where your safety is concerned," Edward told her in a fairly cold voice. Cold because if he let out any hint of emotion he would lose that tenuous grasp he had on his temper and go out looking for a fight. "This will not happen again," he informed her he gestured to the bite mark on her neck so that she wouldn't confuse his words and think he was just being a tyrant. "I don't care if you think he's done with you, you told me that he wouldn't harm you because you were too valuable to him and that he needed you but clearly your assumptions there were incorrect. I'm not leaving you alone after dark again."

Her eyes filled with tears at the tone of his voice. "I know, and I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you," she said with a little catch in her voice, trying to control the flood that wanted to start up. "And well, it was my fault, about my hand anyway. I shouldn't have let him get to me. I was just so pissed, Edward. He got to me when I was asleep, my defenses were down and...I didn't realise what was happening until he was done," she said, coming clean and gesturing to her neck.

She took a couple of steps toward him, looking fairly pathetic, and twisted her fingers around each other, looking down at her feet. "Please don't be cross with me. I didn't ask for it, and the only reason I didn't tell you was because I knew you'd be angry. He knows everything about you now. Everything about us," she said, her jaw tightening. "I just...please tell me you forgive me," she begged, the tears finally breaking their barriers and rolling down her cheeks. "Please Edward..."

Edward sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pressed his face to her stomach and let his hands run soothingly down her back. He was worried about letting her into his head just now, afraid that the rage would frighten her, but he was afraid of what not doing so would do to her as well. So he took the chance. The rage was blistering, all encompassing, violent even, but none of it directed at her.

"I'm not angry with you, Juniper. I'm angry at him for abusing you and angry at myself for being so foolish as to leave you, vulnerable while you were sleeping. I said I would protect you from him and I failed within hours of making the promise." He shut her out to spare her from the anger, and pulled her gently down into his lap. "I won't leave you alone again," he told her sounding more than a little miserable. He was furious that he'd allowed her to be taken, hurt when he should have been protecting her. He had forgotten this vampire had abilities that he didn't. He foolishly believe that she was safe. It was his fault.

Her hand went into his hair when he wrapped his arms around her, and Juniper froze for a second when she got wind of what he was thinking, what he wanted to do. "Edward..." she muttered miserably, leaning down to press her face against the top of his head. "Please don't. I couldn't bear it if you were hurt just because of me."

Shifting in his lap, Juniper pet his face with her good hand and kissed his forehead, trying to soothe him. "It wasn't your fault, you didn't know. I didn't even realise I was so vulnerable, I've never been faced with that kind of thing before. And who knows what would have happened if you'd tried to stop me," she pointed out. The mind was such a delicate thing, had he tried to pull her out of it, who knew what might have happened? "This isn't your fault. It's his, so stop blaming yourself." She didn't need to see into his mind to know that he was taking the blame for it.

"Now we know. And I'm fine. I will be fine," she assured him, cupping his face in her hand. "Please smile. You promised you'd kiss it better," she reminded him with a little grin, trying to make him feel better.

Edward wasn't precisely in the mood to be comforted just then, he knew he didn't deserve it. Still he allowed her to pet him and when she reminded him of his promise he offered her a weak smile and brought her down to kiss her gently. He was still holding her like she was made of glass though and that wasn't likely to change any time soon. She seemed to very fragile to him just now. "I promise not to go picking any fights, Juniper but at this point I think my speaking to him is unavoidable, especially if he now knows everything about us, everything I've told you." He was glad he hadn't shown her any of his weaknesses and that he still had a surprise or two up his sleeve.

That was a meeting he was not fully looking forward to though he knew that if he didn't approach the other vampire it would be mistaken for weakness. He needed to put his foot down or it was likely to be a problem later. The part of him that was very much influenced by his time spent with Carlisle still hoped that despite his anger and the unpleasantness of the situation they could come to some kind of understanding amicably.

She returned his kiss and then looked at him with nothing but worry and misery written all over her face. "He's so unpredictable, Edward," she sighed, closing her eyes. Really, after hitting him, she was lucky to be alive, no-kill rule or not. "Please be careful," she whispered, knowing that there wasn't much she could do to stop him at this point.

Feeling even more sorry for herself than she already had been, Juniper climbed out of his lap and lay face down on the bed. She hated the way he barely held her, hated the look in his eyes when he'd figured it out, hated the fact that he was blocking her so completely. She longed for the night before, when their time together had been filled with laughter and happiness, despite the situation they'd found themselves in.

Turning her face into the pillow, Juniper let her tears flow silently, sopped up by the down of the pillow, and wished that she'd never been born. She always screwed things up, and hurt the people she loved.

Edward sighed when he saw how his behavior was affecting the girl he cared for. He kicked off his shoes and crawled over behind her. His hand went into her hair as it had the night before and his lips easily found her cheek. "I'm sorry I'm upsetting you so much. It's not my intention though I suppose that it's inevitable. For that I apologize."

He tried to think of how he might make this up to her and when something finally came to mind it made him smile. "Juniper, sweetheart, I think I might have a way to cheer you up, if you'll allow me." He pulled her over onto her back and smiled down at her, much happier now that he'd thought of this. "I made you a promise yesterday about something we could do on the first sunny day. Do you remember?"

"It's not your fault," Juniper mumbled against the pillow, still pouting. "It's mine. I'm weak and stupid and human," she spat. If she weren't, she wouldn't be having this problem. She'd be able to fight Armand off herself, not just be a weak little nothing. Not that she really fancied the idea of being a vampire, but it would solve a hell of a lot of problems.

Juniper's lip jutted out when he rolled her to her back and she looked up at him with her lips all twisted up and her arms tight over her chest. She didn't want to feel better. She wanted to die. Preferably in a drawn-out, painful fashion. That's what she deserved. "Yeah, you said you'd show me about the sun," she allowed, letting out a sigh, and trying to not look even mildly interested.

"I like you just the way you are. It's not your fault, if anyone's it's Armand's but I will speak to him and explain that you're mine and that he's to leave you alone. Now that he knows you're spoken for I'm sure everything will be fine." No, actually he wasn't but he was hoping that it would be so it was close enough.

He smiled at her pout and leaned down to kiss it away. "Come outside with me my little injured sparrow. It's a beautiful day and I want to see what the sun does to your lovely red curls." He kissed her again starting at her lips but moving across her face and neck and let his eyelashes tickle her as he moved. He slipped his arms underneath her legs and lifted her easily out of the bed.

It was once he reached the door that he realized there was no real way to hide the sun's effects until just the right moment as there wasn't enough shade. "Close your eyes," he told her and blocked her out of his head. "I want this to surprise you."

She really didn't like the idea of Edward going to speak to Armand, but there wasn't a lot she could do about it. She also wasn't stupid enough to suggest that she come with him, as she knew that Edward would never allow it, and she'd be far too much of a distraction for the both of them. "I hope you're right," she mumbled.

"No, stop it...I don't want to feel better..." Juniper whined, trying to bat him away. By the time he was done kissing her, she was smiling at him against her will, and she let out a little squeak as she was lifted into his arms. "You're a wanker," she said with a decided nod, laying her head on his shoulder and pressing a kiss to his neck.

Juniper closed her eyes obediently, and then poked at him with her mind. "Ugh. Cheater," she laughed quietly, burying her face in Edward's neck and letting out a sigh. "I can walk, you know..."

"I know you can, but it's faster this way." Edward slid her around to his back and told her to hold on tight before taking off at full speed once he was certain that she was secure. He ran until he reached the forest and darted around until he found a sunny and relatively private spot for them to spend time in. He slowed down gradually to keep from giving her a head rush and then once he was stopped he placed her gently on the ground.

"Don't open until I tell you too," he told her and then stepped a few feet away. Once he was exactly where he wanted to be and bathed in light he unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the ground. Might as well let her have the full effect. "Alright you can open them."

Standing there in the middle of a small clearing Edward shimmered as if millions of tiny prisms were reflecting the light of the sun through him. Rainbows scattered across the area and the effect of the pure white light he radiated was damn near blinding to look at but impossible not to.

Juniper let out a partially terrified, partially thrilled scream when he ran off with her in his arms. It was odd, moving at that speed, and knowing she was, but not feeling jostled or anything as Edward ran. He was truly remarkable. She wobbled when he put her down, but caught her balance and kept her hands over her eyes to keep herself from cheating.

"Bugger me..." Juniper breathed after opening her eyes and finding Edward. Not only was he shirtless, but he was shining. Shimmering. Sparkling. Juniper was drawn to him like a moth to a flame, walking in a daze for the second time that day, until she was standing right in front of him.

"You're beautiful," she whispered, reaching up to run her fingertips along his chest. The light coming from him went out in the shadow of her hand, and Juniper shook her head a little bit. "I understand the bit about only coming out at night now," she chuckled quietly. Then she reached up to cup his face with her good hand and went up on her toes to kiss him. She couldn't help it. He was shiny and she was a girl.

Edward was monitoring her thoughts for her reaction as she opened her eyes and what he found there amused him. He opened his arms to her and returned the kiss happily enough. He was happy the effect the sun had on him put her in a better mood. Sure, Edward didn't really enjoy it but Alice and Tanya had never seemed to take issue with it and he could see how a girl might see it. After all they sometimes bought body glitter to try and gain a similar if much more subtle effect.

"So, you're not running away in terror. I take it this pleases you?" He raised an eyebrow at her and smiled crookedly. He gathered her injured hand in his and brought it to his cool lips. "I thought perhaps that it would, hmm, brighten your mood so to speak." He knew he was being cheesy but he was trying to amuse her so he didn't really mind or wince at his silly pun.
