Arturo ran his hands through his hair giving it a few tugs trying to clear his head, he hardly noticed the bed moved as his wife got up and rushed downstairs. Everything was a haze, like he was being held underwater and his ears were packed with cotton wool.
He rubbed his neck easing the building pressure at the back of his head, his fingers traced the scars lightly spreading the pain to another place in his body. He could deal with most pain but Vargulf pain was different. He had dealt with hunters and the painful changes of every full moon but Vargulf pain, it was a cold burning that ended with a hot flash over the head and body.
Arturo jumped in surprise as Rosa spoke "Love?" Rosa's words were soft to his ears, her hands were gentle and cool compared to his own hands. She placed a cup of herbal tea in his hands and instructed him " Drink this. It'll help."
Arturo gave his wife a weak smile and allowed her hand to guide the warm tea to his lips, he sipped it slowly the tea cooling down his body and easing the pain. "Drink it all." her reassuring guidance and words helped to ease his pain. He finished the tea and took a few deep breaths allowing the remedy to work into his system, the herbs numbed his chest pain and cleared his mind. Standing up slowly he walked over to the bowl of cool water they kept on a dresser, taking the cool wash cloth Arturo dabbed his face and neck getting rid of the sweat.
A smashing sound made him turn around quickly, the look from his wife's face said it all before her lips did. "Something bad is coming..." Arturo stool owed down a lump in his throat, he walked over to Rosa and held her in his arms "Ne vous inquiétez pas mon cher" (Don't worry my dear) he planted a kiss on her forehead softly his hands rubbing her back comfortingly. " Whatever is planned we will sort it, I promise to keep you safe. Thank you for the tea love. I'm sorry I woke you. Come" Arturo lifted Rosa's chin kissing her lips tenderly holding her hand and sitting back down in the bed holding Rosa close to him. He probably could go back to sleep but he didn't plan to sleep just yet, not if something was bothering Rosa.
