Roslaina had stopped crying and just sat in his arms with her eyes closed.

Rocking her gently, Darius gently stroked Rosalina's hair and just let her lie in his arms.
------------------------------------------------------------
After a few minutes, Calista walked into the second guestroom and immediately started to clean it, her wheezing growing worse as she inhaled more dust and dirt. Yet, even though she was having trouble breathing, she had no desire to stop, wanting to be sure that the place was comfortable for Gareth and Darius.

Rosalina rested her head on Darius. "Thank you." she told him after a while.

"You're welcome, my love," Darius whispered to Rosalina as he just held her close. "I will always be here for you," he added.
------------------------------------------------------------
After some time had passed, Calista finally finished cleaning the second guestroom. During her work, she had started to cough harder and her wheezing became worse. Yet even after some time her wheezing had stopped as she now desperately gasped for air. Seeing the room sway before her, Calista nearly toppled over but managed to grab the door frame to steady herself in time, completely unaware that her lips and fingertips had started to turn blue. A sudden tightening occurred in her chest as she stumbled from the room and into the hallway. Someone...help, she thought as her lashes began to flicker and the world darkened all around her. "Ooooooh..." Calista moaned as her blue eyes rolled back and her lashes fluttered close. A few seconds later she crumpled to the floor with a loud thud and lay in a dead faint.

Rosalina heard the thup. "What was that?" she got up. "Cali!!" She called and looked out the door. "CALI!!" she called out, giving a glance at Darius, she left the room to find her sister.

Sighing as Rosalina left to go and find her sister, Darius could only shake his head. That blonde is nothing but trouble, he thought to himself as he just remained in the room. In his mind, the woman was probably fine and he felt no desire to be next to her.
------------------------------------------------------------
Calista just lay out cold in a heap on the floor, her breathing coming only in shallow gasps.

After searching, Rosalina found her sister. "Cali!!" she went to her sisters side, paling at the site.

Pacing Rosalina's room, Darius debated on whether he should look for Rosalina or not. Figuring that the elder sister was only trying to get attention, Darius grumbled to himself the entire way as he finally decided to look for the two sisters.

Rosalina has started mouth to mouth on her sister.

Calista just remained limp as her sister started to perform mouth to mouth on her, without a single breath escaping from her nose or mouth.
------------------------------------------------------------
Starting to walk the halls, Darius merely looked for Rosalina and her troublesome sister.

"Come on Cali." Rosalina begged between breaths. "Please."

Calista remained unresponsive to Rosalina's attempts to revive her, her lips and fingertips turning a darker blue.
------------------------------------------------------------
Finally coming upon the sister's Darius just frowned at the sight. "What on earth happened?" he asked Rosalina, not looking at all pleased that he would probably be enlisted to help Calista again.

Roslina bit her lip. "Darius, I need to get her into bed. ITs better then the cold and dusty floor. Could you help me take her to my room?"

Not looking at all happy with her request, Darius merely nodded as he carelessly swept Calista into his arms, hardly caring if the woman was comfortable or not, nor did he care that she had an asthma attack because she was trying to clean up rooms for Gareth and himself. The only reason he was helping this woman was because Rosalina asked him too.

Rosalina lead the way back to her rooms, biting her lip as she did.

Following Rosalina, Darius made no comment as he carried the lifeless woman back to her sister's room. When they arrived there, Darius walked over to the bed and tossed Calista upon it none to gently. Nor was he careful on how he tossed her and in the motion, the top of Calista's head hit the bed headrest with a thump before she flopped on the bed.
Though she gave no vocal protest, Calista's body started to seize violently and foam started coming out of her slightly parted lips as soon as she landed on the bed.
