Demetri POV

I stood pacing. I had no idea what time it was and I hated it. Izzy will be here soon. I can talk to her right? Maybe she will listen?

I continued to pace then I heard the door open. I quickly turned towards the door. It wasnt Izzy though.

"Hey," the female said.

"Where is Izzy?" I asked.

"Out sick. She is fine though. Its mostly exaustion," she said. "I'm her friend Jess," she said.

I nodded and sat down.

She looked at me hesitating. "I have to repeat yesterdays test," she said.

I nodded and layed back. She put the iv in my arm.

'You know what to expect? It can cause burning and blisters. Let me know when you cant take it," she said.

I nodded and looking down. I winced feeling it gasping out in pain.

"Breathe," Jess said. "Lets talk through it. Its easier that way," she said.

I coughed a bit.

"Izzy. Is she your mate?"

"If I answer are you going to kill me?" I asked looking down.

"Of coursse not. She is my best friend. She helped mine escape from here," she said.

"Youre the one who imprinted on a vampire?"

"Yes," she said quietly. "We actually found out that sometimes the imprint starts with a mate bond," she whispered. 

"Is Izzy really sick?"

"No shes mostly overwhelmed and she didnt sleep last night.  I think she is scared of her father finding out and killing both of you. Its a forbidden concept," she explained.

"Not all vampires are bad," I whispered.

"I know. I know," She said and looked down. "How are you feeling?" She asked.

"It hurts," I whispered. She came over and  put a cool rag on my left arm and neck which was where most of the the burning was. I took a deep breath.

"Breathe," she said and took my hand.  "I know it hurts breathe,"

Tears fell as I felt the burn though my body. It was nearly as bad as the change.  "I cant," I gasped out sitting up quickly bending over throwing up. 

"Okay. Breathe let me see your arm," she said.

I held it out to her. She took out the IV. "Drink," she said handing me two blood bags.  "This is your blood and this is a regular human blood,"

I took it from her weakly. "The burns will slowly go away within 24 hours," she said.  "Cold rags help a lot," she sad and helped me lay down.

"Can you stay with Izzy?" I asked. "Idont trust her parents.  They hurt her."

"I know. I know. I hate it too. Its her father. He is a cold hearted asshole," she said.  "I'll stay with her.  Its going to be hard to hide the imprint. Whatever you do. Dont let her parents know. Especially her father," she said.

I nodded. "I wont,"

"Good, Izzy should be back tomorrow. I'll stay with her," she said. 

"Thank you," I said.

"Please rest now," she said and sighed. "I will check on you in a few hours,"

I nodded and closed my eyes laying back just laying still fighting the urge to cry. The burns were horrible. They will heal though.

JESS POV

God Izzy is in some deep shit. How the hell are we supposed to deal with this.

"Hello Jess did everything go okay?"

"Yes miss, reacted normally. Got sick about twenty minutes in. Tapped out at 30," I said. 

"Can I ask you a few questions?" She said. 

"Of course miss," I said. "Where would you like to meet?"

"My office," she said. 

I nodded and followed but I looked down  on the way there. What if Izzy told?

She had me sit on the couch and she sat across from me.

"How is Izzy?" I asked. 

"Emotional," she sighs.

"Well thats nothing new," I chuckled.

"More than normal," she said. "She is visibly upset over her assignmet with Demetri. I feel like she is lying to me but we know I cant bring that up with the counsil members and well her father."

Shit. She knows.

"Did she imprint on Demetri?"

"I think she knows better to make the same mistake I made. It made me weak and I was destracted.  She knows better. Plus shes overwhemed and feels trapped here. Living here. I dont like making accusations but look at her.  Really look at her. Her ribs. Your husband hurts her more than she tells you," I said and looked down. "

"She never says anything," she whispered.

"Because she is scared to say anything," I whispered. 

"So you think this is why she is overwhelmed and not the imprint?"

"She wouldnt imprint,' I said again "And if she did I would be the first to know. May I stay with her for the rest of the day I'm just worried for her well-being and she really needs someone or she can stay at my dorm? Oh also I was checking Demetri's room the audio is going in and out. It wasnt working yesterday and today. I tried to recover it, shut down it and restart but no audio was recorded.," I said.

"Thanks for letting me know," she said. "And yes she will be sleeping off campus for her safety. You will be present with her at all times and. Let me know if anything happens.  Izzy is in her room sleeping. She will be out for awhile," she said.

"Of course,"  I said and sighed.

I walked out of her office and took a deep breath.

That was a close one.
