The Experiment

Eleven

I woke up gasping sweat on my forehead.

"Hey hey," Charlie said.

I looked aorund my eyes wide.

"Its only me," he said touching my hand.

"I... I" I tried to speak.

"Breathe tell me whats wrong," he said.

"I'm going to be killed. Im going to die. I'll never see my family again,"

I managed to spit out.

He looked down.

"You know it to," I said.

"Please breathe," he said holding onto my hand. "I'll be forced to sedate you,"

"I just want to go home and see my mate. What did I do wong?" I said. "What did I do?" My head spinning.

He sighs leaving the room for a moment. "Here is some water," he said.

I took it shakily sipping on it.

He hwaitated but rubbed my back. He then touched my forehead. "You have a fever," he said.

"I'll page Ashley," he asid. "Are you feeling any pain?" He asked.

"I.. my head and thrroat hurt and I feel dizzy," I said.

"Okay are you cold at all?" He asked.

"I dont know Im hot but at the same time I'm freezing," I responded.

He nodded writing down symptoms on a note pad. "Anything else?"

"I dont know overall I just don feel good my heart is fast,". I said.

He took my pulse. "Okay Ill be back in two minutes,"

I noddedand tucked my knees into my chest. It felt like an eternity passed waiting for him to come back. "Ashley is doing an intake ut will be here afterwards," he asid.

"Whats wrong with me?" I asked.

"Could be food poisening-"

I cut him off. "What if I was actually poisnened?" I asked.

He tenses for a minute. "Possibly," he said. "May I have your finger?" He asked.

I nodded confused.

I pricked my finger and then brought it to his mouth and licked.

"I need to get approval to take the poision out of you," he said.

"Is this a test?" I Iasked.

"No. I would know about it and so would Ashle. Someone did this to you," he said.

"Could have it been in my food? The same person that put shrimp in my food?"

"Most likely yes. Now I wll be right back. Dont move got it??" He said.

I nodded and looked at the. Wall scared. I began to pull my hair. I gasped feeling th sudden urge to throw up. I moved off the bed to where he toilet is at throwing up.

I felt a hand on my back. "I'm sorry I was going to throw up," I said looking at Charlie.

"Its okay," he said.

I heard footsteps, "Whats the situation Charlie?" I heard Michael asked.

"I dont know, I was wih her overnight as asked but then she woke and had a fever, complaints of headache, dizziness, sore throat and then her pulse was 167. I pricked her finger and her blood isnt clean. Theres something in it. Deffinately is what is making her sick,". Charlie said.
