WHO: Juniper and Edward
WHEN: Day 6, around lunchtime
WHAT: Juniper getting her mental ass kicked by Jareth's rules/getting in a huge fight with Edward
WHERE: Juniper's room
RATING: R-ish
STATUS: Complete

Something had gone very, terribly wrong. Though Juniper had been rightfully confident in her ability, apparently, her ability wasn't one that was allowed any longer. Jareth must have done something, put up a mental teleportation block as well as a physical one. That was the only thing that could have left Juniper as she was now. Weak, ravaged, and mentally closed off, completely unconscious.

But something was changing. Though she didn't move, and didn't speak - audibly or otherwise - Juniper began to run a fever. Her skin flushed red and beads of sweat formed on her face, her body fighting so hard to keep her brain from boiling that her hair, clothes and bed became sopping wet in barely a minute.

Something had changed, but it was clearly not good.

It took everything Juniper had in her to scramble to cling to the familiar voice, barely making it through. She was only getting a word or two from him, but it was Edward. He was there.

She listened to him with everything she had, trying to follow the sound of his voice, trying to respond, even though she couldn't. Juniper's face though, scrunched up with the effort, just a bit, her limply heavy eyelids creasing slightly.

...find you... she mentally breathed, both relief and worry lacing the tone, and her body stiffened slightly in Edward's arms.

Edward shifted her in his arms so that he could slide down and have her face to face with him. He reached out to that tiny, weak mind-voice, trying to grasp a hold of it anyway he could. I'm right here, Juniper. Right here . . .

The relief that he felt was almost overwhelming. He concentrated as hard as he could, trying to find her and reel her back in. He was so lost in what he was doing he didn't even think to call Carlisle. His every thought was for Juniper as he longingly reached out for her mind with his own.

It took another twenty minutes of scattered phrases and thoughts, but finally, it worked.

Juniper woke up with a gasp for air, shooting half up before she fell against Edward's chest, getting a bunch of water up her nose, which made her cough and sputter until she'd gotten her airways clear.

Then she clung to him with every bit of strength in her little body, and started to sob.

Once she was free and moving and breathing without the complication of water blocking her airways Edward felt her fever begin to abate and he wrapped his arms around her tightly and ran his hands across her back. He turned his face to meet hers and pressed a desperate kiss to her lips. He really had thought that he'd lost her, and feared that he nearly had. He pulled her flush against him and then pulled her head down into the crook of his neck so that he could better cradle her.

"Don't ever, ever scare me like that again," he told her, agony in his voice but also relief now that she was back, and breathing and functioning as she should. He was still a little concerned about the fever but it was nothing like it was.

Juniper returned his kiss with tears on her lips and hung on to Edward as if she were terrified that someone would rip them apart. And really, someone almost had. She nodded against his neck at his demand, and really, she had no problem never going through that again, it had been horrible enough the first time.

"I'm so sorry..." she breathed, picking her head up to press another quick kiss to his lips. "I didn't know..." But somehow in her overly talkative life, Juniper didn't have the right words for it. All she wanted to do, and all she did, was kept kissing him, so relieved to be back in his arms.

"Don't apologize," he shook his head. All the anger had been washed away out of worry. "I thought I'd lost you . . . I don't ever want to feel that way again." He returned her kisses with equal passion and demand, passion that became more apparent after a few moments and Edward was glad that he hadn't had Juniper near anything resembling a 'danger zone'.

He gave her one more full kiss and then turned his face away and tucked it against her shoulder. "Your fever is going down. Thank god. I was so worried about you, Juniper. I've never been so scared in my life." Right, think about the fear, think about the panic. He felt himself begin to calm and relax which made him a bit more comfortable laying here with her so close while they were both naked.

"How high was it?" she asked, curling up around him, refusing to let go even for a moment. Then she realised where they were, and what they weren't wearing, and her eyes bugged. "Cor, my brain must have been poaching..." she breathed, as she had a pretty good idea that the only way Edward would take her clothes off was to save her life. Which wasn't an entirely pleasant thought.

Then again, his own thoughts weren't too bad...She smiled a little and kissed his collar bone, resting her head on his shoulder and letting out a little sigh. She didn't want to think about what had happened, to try and explain it to him, now that she knew what had gone wrong. All she wanted was to stay there, safe and secure, in his arms.

Lifting her head, Juniper looked at him for a long moment and then smiled softly. "I'm back now, and I love you," she reminded him, leaning down to kiss him again. She'd been through hell, but this, right here, was heaven.

"Very high," he told her, watching her carefully. "I apologize about this . . . I was very concerned. I didn't know how else to cool you down." Edward had worried that once she realized their state of undress she'd be angry with him, think he was taking advantage of her. "I've been very careful not to look, I promise."

He smiled, a bit more at ease when she kissed him. "I love you too. I'm glad to have you back. Let's not try that again, okay? I know you want to help but it's more important to keep you alive an well." He kissed her again, but kept the kisses fairly chaste, not wanting to get too excited given their current position. "Do you think you'd like to maybe dry off and put on some clothes? Now that your fever is going down I can't imagine you're too comfortable in here with me in this frigid water."

"Easy fix," Juniper smiled, really not ready to move yet. She just shifted her leg off of his long enough to flip the lever stopping up the tub, and then slid her foot against the hot water knob until it came out nice and warm. "There," she smiled cheekily, waiting until the water temperature evened out a bit before flipping the lever closed again.

She was laying on her side next to him now, and so she brought her knee up, avoiding anything delicate, and wrapped her leg around Edward's waist, her body pressed flush against his. Truly unable to help herself, Juniper pressed her lips to the hollow behind his ear and ran her hand down his chest softly. "You feel so, unbelievably good," she muttered, tilting her face up a little bit to nip at his earlobe.

Taking up his hand in hers, Juniper kissed each fingertip and then brought his hand to lay it against her heart. "You found me..." she whispered, and then tilted her head up to kiss him, gently, but with an extreme amount of passion.

Edward went tense the moment Juniper wrapped herself around him. Adjusting the tub temperature was something he more or less expected her to pull, but this was . . . well unexpected didn't cover it. He didn't want to hurt her feelings by pushing her away and having her misunderstand his reasoning yet again so he simply stayed passive and reigning in a tight control over his reactions.

He turned his face to look down at her when she started kissing his fingers but found that to be a mistake because suddenly he was caught up in a rather intense kiss which he couldn't seem to find his way out of. His hands went to her hips and pulled her around so she was resting on his stomach, still above anywhere dangerous and he fought not to press too tightly as he dug his fingers into her flesh.

He managed to pull away after a moment, breathing hard from the clean air in the room around them and trying to get her scent out of his head.

Juniper shifted easily against him, straddling him now as they kissed. His fingers biting into the flesh at her hips didn't hurt so much as made everything else feel even more amazing, and she let out a little groan against his mouth, kissing him harder.

Despite the fact that she wanted to just keep going, Juniper knew that Edward needed a moment, and so relented in kissing him when he pulled away, giving him that. Or at least, she stopped kissing his lips. His jaw and neck, however, got a thorough treatment, her soft mouth and dull little teeth moving across his skin, tasting him as if he were ambrosia.

Then she brought her face back to his and brushed the tip of her nose against Edward's own. Touch me, she begged, both with her thoughts and her eyes, catching his own. I want...I need to feel you, Edward...

I am touching you, Edward replied back, refusing to actually look at her until the tone of her 'voice' made him look up and she caught his gaze. He made a noise which sounded somewhere between a groan and a slightly animalistic growl and then leaned back in to kiss her. He moved his hands to the edge of the tub and held fast in order to resist the temptation that Juniper's very warm and willing body possessed.

His mouth moved down from her lips to her chin and down her neck, kissing at first but eventually licking and sucking but being careful to keep his too-sharp teeth away from her delicate flesh and tempting veins which throbbed tauntingly at him as her pulse increased. He moved down to her collar bone giving her the same treatment, but once again making sure to avoid too close contact with his teeth.

She let out a little giggle that got lost against his mouth as he argued with her. Wrapping her arms around him, Juniper pressed her body flush with his, loving the feeling of molding around him the way that his build demanded.

His mouth against her throat had her letting out a little moan, and Juniper leaned back a bit, hanging on to him, leading his lips away from her collarbone to the top swell of her breasts, her fingers digging into his hair.

Somewhere in the back of her head there was the warning to not reciprocate, but like Juniper had argued, that was about as likely as lassoing the moon. Dropping one hand from Edward's hair, she reached behind herself, gripping his thigh, kneading her fingers up his leg slowly.

There was a loud crack and a sudden splash and Juniper would find herself suddenly sitting in a empty tub that was missing one of it's side with Edward (and the missing piece of the tub) nowhere to be found. He wasn't blocking her though, at least not too tightly.

I'm in the next room. Please give me a moment. The voice sounded strained and it should be. Edward was trying not to have a hysterical fit as he cursed himself and his male hormones or whatever the hell it was that was making his brain take a walk around Juniper because he wasn't entirely sure he even had hormones anymore. As much as he and Carlisle took an interest in human physiology they just didn't have the facilities or resources to do that kind of intensive study on vampire biology.

He managed to pull on the rest of his clothes without destroying them accidentally as he pulled himself together and then finally realized he'd dragged half of the bathtub into the next room with him. He sighed irritably and then took a seat on the side of the bed. Alright. I think I'll be okay now, but I wouldn't recommend coming out nude.

After she recovered from the shock of being very much alone, and the tub being relatively...well, extremely broken, Juniper broke out into a rather embarrassing fit of the giggles. That, right there, was the ultimate sexual validation, and while she knew that Edward was really trying to be a good boy, she couldn't help but enjoy the points her ego gained. After all, she'd made her boyfriend break the tub. That was fairly amazing.

She kept her thoughts to herself though, because she knew that teasing Edward about it right then would only make him mad, Juniper got up slowly, avoiding the broken porcelain, as he really didn't need the scent of an open wound added to the mix. Juniper wondered if her tub would get fixed, or if she'd have to move rooms, or just suffer with it. Though, given that her shower was relatively useless at this point, she could always borrow Edward's...Which of course brought about a whole slew of thoughts that she Iron Curtained quickly.

Wrapping a towel around her body, Juniper hung on to the wall with her good hand and slowly made her way out of the bathroom, her head swimming, given that she still definitely wasn't a hundred percent. Actually, now that she was upright and mobile, Juniper realised that she wasn't even at fifty percent.

"Edward...I think I'm going to..." And she did. She passed out.

Thankfully Edward wasn't brooding so hard he missed the warning and was there to catch her before she hit the ground, though not in time to keep the towel from hitting the floor. He sighed. It seemed he was doomed to have Juniper naked and unconscious in his arms no matter what he did. Somehow he couldn't manage to make himself feel too terribly bad about that.

He scooped her up in his arms and lay her on the bed before covering her up and taking a seat next to her. There was no sign of a new surge in her fever and while there were no thoughts to sense there wasn't the sudden absence of her mind as there had been before so he didn't go into a new fit of panic. Instead he smiled softly and gently ran his hand across her cheek.

"Juniper? Juniper you're going to give me a heart attack one of these days, and considering I'm dead that's going to be quite a task. Wake up, love."
