I throw up once again, a small whine leaving me as I hang my head " Are you sure you're okay?" My father asks, I nod while letting out a groan and giving him a thumbs up before more vomit makes its way up my throat and into the toilet. Throwing up was horrible, it had to be the worst thing next to having your nose stuffed up and runny at the same time, gripping the toilet seat tightly more comes up, "Octavia, I think you should go to the hospital" my father said, shaking my head I glance at him keeping my head right where it was just in case, " No hospitals" I said, taking in a deep breath to calm my breathing I slowly move away from the toilet, "It's probably something I ate at the boardwalk" my father nods his head but I can see the worry in his eyes. Slowly I stand up leaning against the sink for some support, my head was pounding and my stomach was still turning " I'm fine pops" my father lets out a sigh while I wash my hands and wash out my mouth before walking to my bedroom. The moving truck should be here tomorrow finally, and I'll have my old bed back " Are you sure you'll be fine here by yourself?" He asks, I lay down on the bed not bothering to cover up, it felt like my whole body is on fire, "Yeah, I'm sure. Go to work dad" I said, he goes to kiss my head but I hold out a hand stopping on him, " I don't want you sick" my father smiles down at me nodding his head. I watch him make his way towards my door, "If you need anything just call me, okay" he said, letting of a small hum I close my eyes. Hearing the bedroom door shut I snuggle deeper into my bed wishing to not be sick. Today I have the day off. No vampires, no trying to find anybody. Just my bed, sleep and me.
Marko looks at the house, it still looks the same after all these years. At least to him it did. He hasn't been here in years, it makes him feel uneasy which hes never felt since becoming a vampire. Walking around the house he follows the sweet sent of Octavia's blood, it sent tingles down his spine, and he did his best to ignore it when he was around her but sometimes its hard, he was a vampire after all and consuming blood was the only thing keeping him alive. Coming to a stop he looks up at the open window, with a sigh he flys up to it, and enters. Quickly glancing around he takes notice of it being Michaels old room. Holding in a growl he looks over at the bed, Octavia was laying there, curled up, he frowns as he gets closer to her. Noticing the sweat on her forehead and the few damp spots on her shirt he frowns, he places his hand to her head, she was burning up "Octavia" he sits down grabbing her shoulder giving a small shake, she let out a small groan, " Octavia wake up doll" he said, slowly she opens her eyes, when she sees it's him her eyes widen, "Are you crazy, what are you doing here?" She asks, her mind went in different directions, making up scenarios that could happen, and none of them ended in a good way. Marko smirks down at her, " A little" he said, Octavia gives him a small glare making him smile, he liked getting under her skin or bugging her, it was funny to see her facial expressions " To answer your question, you weren't at the boardwalk. I got worried so I came to see if you were okay" he said, she let's out a small sigh and nods her head, he grabs her hand lightly, and she closes her eyes liking how cold he is, its nice against her hot skin, " I ate something bad yesterday, now I'm sick" she said, Marko forgot what it felt like to get sick, it's been so long but he still felt sorry for the girl. Octavia moves over patting the spot she hasn't laid on, " Come on, your cold and it feels good" she said, Marko let's out a small chuckle but does as she says. Taking off his jacket he lays down next to her, she scoots over getting close to him, "Better?" He asks, she nods her head giving him a small smile. Swallowing hard she looks up at him, " I think I know where your brothers were killed at" she said, Marko tenses under her and, pulls her closer to him, she moves her right leg so it's laid over his, "Where?" He asks, Octavia lets out a shaky breath and lays her head back down on his chest, " Here, some of the house got remolded. My dad said my great grandfather drove through the front of the house by accident, but who drives through their own house by accident" she said, a growl came from Marko causing her to look back up at him, his eyes were goldish yellow causing her to swallow hard. Carefully she places her hand on his face, " Hey that's good news, that means they didn't move them to far. They're probably somewhere on the property" she said, Marko looks at her, he was having an inner battle on what to do. Get revenge now or wait until later after a few seconds he nods his head. They lay there talking, Marko tells her about his brothers, and about Max, their sire, how he wanted to turn both Michael and Sam, so it would be easier to get Lucy. Octavia's half asleep when Marko slips out of her bed, ready to leave " Where are you going ?" She asks, slowly she sits up. Marko turns around looking down at her, "Suns going to be coming up" he said, plus he can't get caught here, it wouldn't end well for him. Octavia takes in a deep breath nodding her head, " Right, I don't need you turning to ash" she said, Marko shot her a smile. Why was she joking with him?, why was she even helping him?. She went to get up when he stops her, she opens her mouth but he shakes his head, "You need rest, I'll come back tomorrow night right when the sun goes down. We'll walk the property to see if I can feel them or see if we can find anything" he said, she nods her head swallowing hard. Marko gives her one last smile before vanishing into the night, Octavia's hair blew around her face for a few moments before settling down, she bit the inside of her cheek as she lays back down getting comfortable. Tomorrow night was going to be long.
