You'll be okay

"Jace, calm down, she will be fine!"
"She wont, i was trying to save her, i should've stayed by her side, this is my fault."
"It was just a bite, we got the venom out and cleaned it, you need to sit down."

      I groan and pull my hand to my neck, where theres a pulsing pain.
  "Ah, Alice, you're awake!" a tall, dark haired women smiles down at me. She crouches down and puts her hand on top of mine, "How are you feeling?" I blink and take a deep breath, "who are you?" She smiles sympathetically and looks over her shoulder, Jace is peering down at me, his arms folded. "Jace" i whisper breathlessley. He clenches his jaw and looks away, the girl moves her caramel brown eyes over to mine, "What are you- you, you had swords, and he had sharp teeth, and-" i stutter, my eyes shifting nervously.
Jace winces and licks his bottom lip, "Alice, your sick, you don't know-"
I hoist myself up, the girl leans backwards, shocked by my sudden movement,
"No, he tried to kill you, he had red eyes, he wasn't human, you don't seem human....what are you!?" i persist, my hair falling in front of my eyes.
"Evelyn, can you take to the guest room?" Jace asks, looking to the girl. I stand up, stumbling around a little bit, "No! You follow me, you- . that thing, attacked us, and you brought me back here....you owe me!-" He suddenly grabs my face and peers down into my eyes, "Alice, i'll tell you later, you need to rest." Evelyn smiles and grabs my hand as Jace pulls away, shaking.
      I hiss and bow my head as a sharp pain pulses through my neck, Jace bites his cheek and shoves his hands into his pockets. Suddenly my legs turn into jelly, i reach out for the wall but i can't seem to keep my grip. "Alice?" Jace starts. I fall down the wall, squeezing my eyes shut. Hitting the ground i throw my head between my knees, trying to suppress a cry of pain. "Oh my.." i hear Evelyn start. I feel strong arms slip under my thighs, and my back, i open my eyes and Jace is carrying me. Curled up in his arms he looks down to me, frowning. "Move your neck.." he whispers, moving hair out away from my face. In her noisy heels Evelyn runs over to a wooden door and anxiously opens it. Wincing i move my head to the side, exposing my sore neck. He examines it, and scowls. He brings me over to the door, before entering he leans over to Evelyn, "i'm gonna fucking kill him again." She nods, "i know Jace, i know." He mutters profanities and sets me calmly down onto a creaky bed, he crouches down next to the bed and runs a cold finger across my bare neck. I cry in agony, he slowly pulls away, watching my face, "Im sorry Alice."
        Another strike of pain roars through my neck, my back arches as i clench my teeth.
I could never handle pain, but this was different.....
I feel a warm tear travel down my face onto my bottom lip, "what's wrong with me?" i cry.
   Jace puts his hands on his knees and stands up, "Alice, we're going to give you something, it'll help with the pain, and it'll help you sleep, you need rest." Hissing as i slightly  move my head up, "Stop dodging my questions."
     Evelyn steps into view, a needle in her hand, a glowering look on her face, "take a deep breath Cherry..." she whispers. "No, stop!" i squirm. She frowns, trying to hold the needle still, "Jace, can you hold her down please?" He nods, his brows furrowed, he sits down beside me and wraps his arms around my head, trying to calm me down. I watch him as i choke out a sob, my eyes clouded with tears. "You'll be okay" he mutters, resting his head on my chest.
