Prince of Darkness Bride (Closed to Poohlive and I)

[Dragonlady]

Every 20 seconds someone dies or is being born , Every 30 seconds someone is being murdered ,and every 40 seconds a child is being born, and Every Minute a woman is being raped

When you are an Er Doctor some times that is the way of life .



Riley Moon was your typical over acheiver she worked hard all the time and didn't much care for what people thought of her. She lived her life as she sees fit . IF she wanted to have a one night stand she would .. But tonight she worked on a patient at St Hope Hospital. "COme on kid " she yelled as she reached in the hole in his chest and started to pump his heart for him 'YOu can live I know you want to damn it" she looked over at the nurse "Get the surgen down here stat!" she growled ...

She had a rep of those that were going to die she made them live , Some said she could make the man down stairs angry for stealing his souls that he should of got in the first place.. But Riley always believed in second chances..

She never went to church her views were really one sided if there was a god he really had a shitty way of showing that he cared .. as she started to watch her patiant ..

They called her the star Er Doctor some even called her super woman because she cared enough to try to give them a second chance .. Though the hospital was known for its loss causes and deaths because that is where they sent them to her to see if she could what the God groupies called her a miracle worker...

She always laughed at that because she was no saint.. She enjoyed good sex and the fun of the game .. She didn't care what people thought of her she did what she normally would do Live... Just getting barely by ...


She just didn't realise that on the day like Friday 13th her live was going to change and it was up to her to choose which path she wanted to take...



They pushed her and The kid that was still alive just barely into the surgeons she sat on top of him .. She hasn't even talked to the parents yet as she looked over "Lets get Him prepped and do it around me because I'm not stoping " she looked over "Gwen I need a liter of blood" she went back to what she was doing

 

[poohlive]

Two of the nurses were already running around her. Prepping the area, getting tools needed, bringing in a defib. One of them set up a blood bag, searching the young boy's arm for a vein to pop it in.

The sugeon on call entered the room. A tall muscular man with curly red hair atop his head. He had large black eyes, staring down at a chart which held nothing more than a name and a couple of preliminaries.

"Wonder woman, glad you could make it," Dramatic entrance as usual. She sat atop the man, driving the life back into him. Slowly but surely it was working. He stood just next to her, watching her work what she could.

"His heart's failing, blood pressure droppng, 135 over 90. We've got a red count cell that is nearly non existant."

The new arrival of data helped to fill in some gaps. He looked over at Riley. Riley had never seen him before. This was a new surgeon, brand new. Might say he had just stepped off the boat.

His eyes glared a challenge, "He needs a brain myopothy. There's pressure on the brain, something is releasing embryonic fluid and causing it to flood. In another minute we're going to loose him."

They would have to do brain surgery, right here and now. Too much pressure could cause his whole braint o be crushed inside of his skull. They needed to drill into his brain, releasing the pressure.

But, David had never done brain surgery in his life. He didn't do that sort of thing. He had always looked on this from the other aspect.

"I can't drill into the kid's skull," He said, looking up at Riley, Wonder Woman, "It doesn't matter. You would need his consent, or his parents."

"They're in Alimeda. They're on their way but it's over an hour drive."

He doesn't have an hour, he barely has three minutes.

"I'm sorry... looks like we're going to lose him. No one can do the surgery, ethically speaking. He's going to die."

A promising challenge for poor little Riley here. Not too much of a problem for her. It was a dilemma, a choice. And, of course, as we all know, David did love giving them choices.

Just to be on the wonderfully convenient side one of the nurses came in with the drill, something that looked all too familiar to a regular drill one might find in a tool shed.

"It's over Riley... get off the kid."

Choice... all comes down to choice.

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley, She looked at him "NO Its not over yet he derserve a chance to live and by fucking gawd I'm going to do it " she looked at Gwen "Check out patients rights see if I can do surgery on him with out singatures I believe I can with stature 127 " she looked at the other nurse "Sara take over I"ll drill the hole in his head " she slowly moved off him .

Sara moved over the kid and put her hand ready to take over as she looked the doctor and nodded and waited for the explosion because she knew Riley was going to Rip the New surgeons ass No one ever told Riley No because she was alway right in some way or another...


Riley she looked the man before her "You call your self a doctor I don't know who the fuck you think you are but no one says no to me and we are going to do this surgery and save this kids life and if he dies at least we tried or fucking damndest you got me " she grabed the drill as one of the ladys shaved his head "I need a scan to locate where it is we don't have much time damn it"

Gwen didn't take long as she came back "Its all Clear they say as long as its life threating and he can have chance they so go for it I called them up Riley"

Riley* she looked over at the green surgen "YOu going to help or stand there looking like a damn fool that you are" she started up the drill and hoped like hell she did this right

She done surgery before only when she had to but she knew this one was going to be tricky she could only go so far and if she hit his brain she could kill him instantly .

 

[poohlive]

"You don't have to... you're not required. You can still let him go."

David moved around to help though. He stood there, helping the shave, pushing a nurse out of the way so he could finish. This had to happen as soon as humanly possible, had to be the decision of hers to make it so.

He helped start a blood line, infusing the anesthisia to knock the kid out.

"You've never done this procedure before. Only a handful are done a year. One misstep, one wrong caculation and you've got a powered drill running right into his head."

He stood there, before he, looking down at the kid's shaved skull, and up at the woman, tall and proud, the drill in her hands.

"If you're going to do it, make it quick," The heart monitor began squawking like crazy on the other side of her, he would go into cardiac arrest in a matter of seconds.

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley nodded "Those that believe in god say a damn prayer" she started to drilled slow and easy there was no reason to go fast

She got through the scull in less then a minute as she slowly pulled out the drill liquid came out "I need a shunt please" she looked at the new guy "Who are you by the way and how come you know me " she felt better all they needed to do now was patch up his heart..

She let his brain drain as she walked over to his heart and started to patch him up and hope like hell she didnt miss a damn thing

"How is Blood doctor " she looked over at him as she knew he would help her

as she bent her head down to look at what she was doing someone put a magnify glass scope over her head so she would have a better looked at what she was doing..

She listen to the machine and worked fast as she could sewing everything up she didn't know how long it took her to do that as she was focused and only asked what she needed someone wiped sweat off her brow .. No one knew she bit her lip in concetration ..


Finnaly it seemed like forever she was finnally done as she pulled her hands away from his heart she waited as it slowly started to pump blood on its own and beat slowly as she grinned "Well guys and gals I think your prayer worked"

She smiled at everyone "Gwen close him up please " as she walked out and took off her mask and leaned her head against the wall .. She hasn't eaten in two days because she was pulling a 72hour shift and it was finnally takeing its toll ..

 

[poohlive]

"You did very well," He said, as soon as he could join her. He saw the amount of desperation welling up inside of her right now. She had gone through so much, saved so many lives, sacrificed.

"You might have just saved him. I don't think we needed to pray to God back there. You seemed to do fine enough."

He leaned next to her on the ER wall, holding out his gloved hand with blood on it. Realizing that, he took it off, offering it to her once more.

"My name is David, and everyone knows you. You're Wonder Woman. I was told about you five minutes after I walked through the door. You can save anyone."

How true... how true.

"Look, my shift is just about up, and you look like you could use a break, maybe even a good meal. My treat, you could show me a few steps, what is it that makes you so damned good."

His eyes blazed with interest.

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley looked at him and shook his hand "YEah well I'm not wonderwoman so dont' forget it and I'm sure as hell not super woman either'

She looked at him "I don't remember the last time I have ate so that sounds good Look give me 15 minutes so i can do my charts and take a shower in my office " she smiled at him "I'll meet you in the er "

She did her paper work really quick went to see the boy parents and talked to them and then she took a shower

Going back to the Er in Jeans and a t-shirt Her hair was down as she stood there talking to Gwen waiting on David to take her to get some food

 

[poohlive]

When he came up behind her, he rested his hand on the small of her back, a happy smile as he turned to show her the door. They could walk out like that, getting into his black sedan, nothing special or particularly flashy about it.

He opened the door for her, "There's this perfect little italian place, tucked away in china town. I never even heard of it until this girl showed me where it is one time. I was just floored by the food. Amazing. It is to die for."

Getting into the car, he began to drive them across town. He wound down streets she did not know, unfamiliar territory within minutes of the hospital. By the time he stopped, there were distant vague buildings, and a single italian restaurant hidden almost by the other larger establishments around it.

It looked small, servicable, as if run by entirely by a family of immigrants.

"You know, you don't have to be so modest," He said, the waitress finding them a table in the corner, looking out to the street below, "I've checked out your record. You have the highest save rate of any doctor in the hospital, probably in the whole U.S. Maybe cause you take all those risks, willing to do whatever you can to save the person. Do whatever it takes, that's a good way to get fired, but a good way to save a lot of lives too."

 

[Dragonlady]

She smiled at him "Well my boss loves me so I guess I'm lucky though there is always a price for what I do and I know this and its cost me more then anyone would know " she looked at him ..


"Can you keep a secret?" she smiled knowing damn well he would say yes "I don't do it for the money its never been about the money its been about my past that pushes me to do what I need to do" she looked at him and relaxed

She looked at him for a New doctor he was pretty good lucking but it seemed that she was always going to stay at the hospital and she was always going to do what she did because she did it so well..

Riley couldn't help but go down memory lane watching her mother in bed as she kept over doseing while her father worked and made tons of money ... The one night she over dosed she worked hard to try and save her mother but it didn't happen because she was just a kid a stupid kid that didn't know shit from her elbows...


From then on she vowed that she never lose another life .. She kept that vow really but some she had a hell of time keeping them alive she even swore to sell her soul to the devil each time she thought she lose a patient but some how for some odd unknown reason she made things happen .. but she highly doubt good ole american boy right in front of her would understand thta ..

 

[poohlive]

"That's true," He nodded, picking up the menu. He ordered them a wonderful pasta dish, with salad, bread, and the nicest bottle of wine he could find. He looked at her, nodding where he should. She looked so lost in her own self, he could probably tell he anyhing right now and she would hardly care.

Again, on her own. It was beautiful, just beautiful to see.

"It must be hard, even with the ones you lose," He reached across the table, taking her hand, giving it a squeeze to let her know there was someone here that understood her, somoene who could help her if she allowed it.

"But, you spoke of the high cost? Surely you didn't mean what the hospital pays you. What cost? What have you had to sacrifice to do all your good work?"

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley looked at him and smiled "Your going to hear alot of things some are really fun and some are just plain mean , Those that believe in god will tell you I sold my soul to the devil himself so I can be a hero " she took a sip of wine

"I do it because I refuse to let someone I know or love die simple as that I may never have a family or children because I'm basically married to my work " she looked away and blushed


Looking into his eyes "Tell me about your self David why this hospital I'm sure my rep isn't that well known" she teased him a little

"Of course I never date so I know I'm not know as the Doc Slut" she couldn't help but chuckle at her really bad joke

 

[poohlive]

"Would you believe me if I said I came up all this way just to see you?"

He shared a friendly knowing look before turning back to the waitress. She had brought the chilled wine with two glasses for them. He poured ample amount for both of them, and set it to rest in the ice.

"It's true. There are rumors of what you do, and who you are running all over. I just had to see the miracle doctor at work for myself."

He imagined she led a dull life at home. Married to her work, it was her family, replacing whatever family she had. With each life she brang back, each stranger, she could feel her own demons being presented.

"I always thought it had to be something. If you weren't touched by god, one of those shamans who can perform surgery with their bare hands or a shrine you touch and are automatically healed... seeing the virgin mary in a piece of toast kind of thing, then you had to sell your soul to the devil."

He shook his head, swirling the wine as he spoke. It looked blood red, and was thick as he drank it down.

"Personally, most people ask so little when they sell their soul, don't you think? To save one life, or get some money? To make one mistake in their past disappear? Had you sold your soul, you would have wanted the Midas touch, but to save lives, instead of turning them to gold. Is that what happened?"

 

[Dragonlady]

She looked at him and smiled "You came all this way just to see me either I should be worried or flattered " as she looked down as he asked her different questions and yet she wasn't sure how to answer some of them .


"I don't think I ever bargain with my soul but I know I swore at the devil him self he not getting this one just yet not now I think I have death him self pissed off at me because I'm giveing him less people to take to the gates " she grinned at him

"You can say that I believe in my self and what I can do I just do what I think is right I need to make these people live and I do " she took a sip of wine and looked at him

"Don't get me wrong I had patients die and I curse my self each time and replay everything I did and I wonder what I did wrong if I was a second off .. Or Do I take things for granted and have an ego and that is why they die another punishment"


she looked at him "I'm no different then anyone else I just have a very good gift to save people on there own death bed " she didn't know a tear fell down her eye as she looked at him she was tired and her body weakend to exhausting as she told him her life work ..

And yet she paid a price them most .. To some she is consider different and she is a freak of nature to others and most fear her because of what she can do so she remains not close to anyone due to that and yet this man that she looked at is more intrigued with her then she expected and yet she couldn't understand why her..

 

[poohlive]

He ate his salad in peace and quiet solitude. She had a lot to say on the subject, and her words rang true. They weren't true, he knew that much, but they certainly did ring true in his ears. The way a convincing family member told a lie, of course it was a lie, but they are your cousin, or brother, or child, you have to believe them, and what they do.

He held her hand once more, hoping to bring her some comfort.

"Death shouldn't mind all that much, just less paperwork for him. The Devil might be pissed off at you. You're not scared about that though, pissing off the devil? I imagine if he ever got pissed off at someone, he could do a lot of damage."

Pasta came. Wonderful creamy alfredo sauce that just melted in the mouth, with buttery testera noodles and thick sliced dreamy chicken. David could not help but devouring as soon as it was set down.

"Tell me though, saving all of those people, doesn't it make you feel proud? Don't you feel like you're better than everyone else here? You make a difference in this world, what does everyone else do? They pick up garbage, they sell stock, the fucking deal drugs and collect welfare checks? You get up every day, hauling your ass into a hospital, to save people's lives who don't even give a shit about you."

This pasta was just to die for. His compliments were to the chef.

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley took a bite of her food and moaned in pleasure "I don't think I have eaten in three days this taste like sin " she moaned in pleasure her eyes closed as she listened to him


"I'm no different then you its just that I choose not to have a life I just work to save it seems thats all im good at and the devil him self well I doubt he really want to hurt me much if all things considering it gives him a chance for those that should of gone to hell for him to play with more"

She couldn't smile at him "This food is great" she didn't realise how fast she finnished her food as she looked at him

"yes I take pride in my work but I don't let it go to my head and yes those people could care less what I do till I do it and just maybe I saved someone that was on the wrong tracks of life might change for the better though let me tell some of them I'm tired of saveing their lives I think I had a guy come in about 5 times each time he should of gone to the devil him self and each time I saved him " she smiled at him

"I guess you could say that is one guy the devil is certainly looking forward to see I'm sure" she thought about Phillip March your typical drug addict, woman beater and child molestor among other things ...

 

[poohlive]

"You so sure about that? I don't know... guys like Phillip, they've already sinned. The Devil doesn't care if they go to hell today, or five years from now, they've ruined their own lives, their souls. It is only a matter of time. I think, if you want my honest opinion, the devil is more interested in people like you."

He pointed to her with a fork, slipping the last few morsels into his mouth before filling up both of their glasses of wine. Ample wine, lots of wine, wonderful blood red goblets for them to quench their fill.

"A woman on the edge, fallen far away from God, but dancing in time with her own demons. You think because you save a person here or there it makes up for your own shortcomings, but all you are doing is stalling the inevitable. One mistake, one sinful urge of pride or lust, or even jealousy, and you too will share the fate of some lowlife drug dealer who hits his wife all too often."

David furrowed his brow, sighing, "Isn't that sad? That you could so easily be cast in the same pit as him? You save lives, he ruins them, yet in the eyes of God you are practically the same."

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley looked at him shocked "I never thought of it like that and why would the devil be interested in my I'm sure there are far more women more interesting then me And God lets not talk about God or how much damage he puts to people or how he just loves Irony because that is all god does is sit on his fat ass and does nothing "

She rubbed her arms feeling cold in side and outside "I guess I just the odd woman out no matter what I do or what people think of me I'm still never going to live normal life a dream of love and a family isn't in the books for me "

She shivered feeling the coldness was she really that bad "I sorry this isn't my normal converstion Hell I'm usually don't go out to dinner with anyone I keep to my self " she blushed at her own short comeing

 

[poohlive]

"Well, you're out here now, with me. I am not some catch myself, but I've been watching you for a long time, and I've always wanted you for myself."

He spoke such words sipping from the wine. It just trickled down his throat, delicious and heavy on his tongue. He soaked it in, his eyes half glazed.

"What do you say we go back to my place? I have something I want to tell you... show you, and I think I need to do it in private."

He made a motion for the check. It arrived, and he set down more then enough money to pay for it. He stood up, holding out his hand to her.

"Would you join me?"

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley looked at him and smiled "Is that an offer" she teased him "YEs I'll go to your place But I warn you if i fall asleep I'm sorry I don't remember the last time I have slept" she got up and then took his hand


"Lead me away " she smiled up at him her eye were a little bit heavy from the wine but she was so relaxed she didn't think she would care one way or another as they both got into his car and she laid her head on the seat and looked at him

"You said you been watching me for a long time what did you mean by that "

She was fighting with her eyes from closeing ..

 

[poohlive]

"Shhh, just sleep now. Sleep, you need it," He passed his hand over her eyes, watching them slowly drop. Her heard lowerd, resting on his shoulder. He liked the weight it held there, the feeling of her, unconscious, drifting off into some wonderful dream, or horrible nightmare, trusting him, nuzzling against him.

He put an arm around her, making sure she was comfortable.

The drive didn't take long at all. He had a house, black with red hinges, in the middle of suburban america. Parking the car, he scooped up Riley in his arms, and carried her inside.

Lavish furnishings, the latest in technologies, David set her down on the couch. He knelt beside her, watching her sleep. She took in small breaths, her chest rising ever so slightly. She looked like a chimunk, gasping for those tiny breaths of air.

His fingers traced down her cheek, slowly, deliberately. He found himself day dreaming, pretending for a moment he was someone else, anyone else.

"Wake up," He whispered, reaching down to kiss her, his lips caressing against hers, "It's time to wake Riley."

 

[Dragonlady]

In dreams that only made her yearn for more she felt something soft against her lips as someone told her to wake up "I'm up " she sat straight up opening her eyes she looked at the man before her

She reached and touched his face and his lips "I'm awake for a little bit " she couldn't stop her self it actually felt good to wake up to someone as she kissed him..

She had a strangest dream but it didn't scare her for most they would of thought it was a nightmare but in a way it wasn't she was with the Devil and they were danceing both of them naked and just danceing he was gentle and kind and yet his eyes never cruel to her ...

"David I had the strangest dream and I think I had more of them but I was danceing with the devil naked ..So does this mean he not mad at me' she teased him a little "But he looked like you" she touched his face she didnt realise her hands was on his chest and her hair was in her face as she looked at him it was the first time in her life she felt wanted

 

[poohlive]

David simply leaned into her, hearing her soft words against his neck. The thought of it intrigued him, even more than he realized. He thought it best not to say too much, not this early. The poor thing hardly knew where she was at the moment, much less, what she was doing.

"Would you dance with me?" He asked, turning to the sound system, it took up half of a wall, and all he had to do was press a single button before something dark and sultry began to sway inside of their bodies.

He stood up, his hand running down her cheek and then shoulder, finally grasping her own hand. His blood coursed red hot inside of his body, the sweltering could not be quenched. It refused to.

 

[Dragonlady]

Riley looked at him and smiled "I'm all yours to dance with"

She moved into his arms and looked into his eyes and smiled "You have a nice home David kinda dark but nice" she touched his face with her free hand as she laid her head on his chest .. she was a small woman considering as she listen to his breathing

She felt intoxicated by him as she lifted her head up standing on her toes she kissed him again smileing as her tongue flicked his lips softly to see what he would do ..She felt a power in him a strong part of him that she didn't understand as her free hand rubbed the back of his neck playing with his hair as she got lost in what she was doing ..

 

[poohlive]

He played with her hair. She had such soft hair, it felt like silk beneath his fingers, intoxicating as he breathed it in. The fresh shower had done her good, wiped away all of her problems, all of her sin, all of her life.

They moved against the wall, he kept her there, pinned. His kiss as deep, delicious, drinking from cool spring on a hot fiery day. His tongue came out to lick at hers, to find just how delicious it was, and he was not disappointed.

His hand moved down her body, pressing into her through her clothing. Wandering fingers, enticed by her curves, running down to the thick denim of her legs, pushing one up, making it wrap around his body, keeping him there.

 

[Dragonlady]

She couldn't stop the moan leaveing her lips like she couldn't stop the reaction she had to him .. she didn't know what got into her as her hands sneaked there way underneath his shirt and touched his chest playing with the soft hard lines of his body ..

Tipping her head back she looked into his eyes and smiled "I'm awake now " she went for her shirt and lifted it over her head as she looked at him she wanted all of him and at this point she never realise how greedy she was as she kissed him with the passion that built up in side her she never knew she had.
