Chains

Chapter Eight

I lay there uncomfortable as Angelina tapped her foot and crossed her arms. " What if she would of died? You can't control your powers!. Showing her a battle, with werewolves!". Angelina's eye brows twitched at every word he said, she rolled her hand into a fist. Veins popped from her arm, bursting from the strain. She leaned her weight into one leg then twisted her body slamming her fist into the door. It splintered reveling the nurse from before, her eyebrows raised and jaw dropped. "SHE LIVED DIDNT SHE? Do you want me to be like you and never use my power!" She slammed her body passed the nurse still stood there in shock. " I'm sorry, maybe if would be better if you left" Drake reached for her arm but she flinched causing him to step back. She dropped a container of bandages then ran away through the hall with no hesitation.

Drake waited till her footsteps were no more before he could moved towards me wrapping the bandages round my arm, he opened his mouth to speak . Before he could finish the first letter I butted in. "You have a power?"i twisted my fingers waiting through the few seconds of the awkward silence. " I, lucy, well yes but I don't use it very often" i waited for him to continue, but he didn't say another word. He walked over to the door and picked up the wood for it only to fall through his fingers. "Lucy, maybe you should walk around the ward while I get this door fixed". Excitement and shock filled my body " You Trust me?",he gave a slight nod like he was still unsure.

I made my way to the door when he grabbed my arm wrapping me into his body, he rustled my hair then moved his hand to my heart. "Be safe". Heat covered my checks, i quickly turned my head. Embarrassed by my reaction. I bit my lip and ran out the door to only hear drakes laugh get more distant.

Their were many rooms here, hardly any were in use. Maybe vampires don't get ill often. Even so the place was beautiful, a waste in my eyes. Are hospital's were normally the shed in the back. Many died of the disease in the far away districts.My father and mother once brought back a boy from the worst human district, his body was bones. Blood hardly ran trough his veins. He died the day after, in my hands. My mother told me he was very ill but I cried for days, thinking it was my fault. If only I could of brought him here, maybe he would be alive today.

A screeching sound filled the corridors, the sound of a woman crying. I couldn't make out where it came from until I passed a room, the nurse sat on the bed with her face in her hands. I peeked inside to only be caught, i raised my hands in surrender. She rubbed her eyes then showed a plastic smile. " Nurse are you okay?" she just watched the ground. she didn't even flinch when I sat next to her, maybe it was just Drake."You know I feel bad calling you the nurse, what's your name?" She hesitated but quietly whispered " Robin ".

"Well Robin I was wondering if you could direct me back to my room. She nodded and smiled. "well let's go then" She caught my arm pulling me back to the bed, she smiled but was close to tears. " About the werewolves, i sneaked into my masters library. I know how to get there, I...i could show you" I was wide eyed, I could feel the happiness radiating from me.Tears now streamed down her cheek bones, i pulled her close to me and rubbed her head. "As long as you able to do it safely". We both burst out in laughter, defining are masters must give us both a thrill. That was until her laughter stopped, i followed her eye line to the door. Angelina stood there smiling, leaning against the wall."So the little mouse was let out her cage". I shrieked at her voice shivers running down my body and my heart beat increasing. Did she hear us?. " Anyway you don't want to keep master waiting". Her voice so sly as if she was planning. I patted Robin on the back, and rushed to the door to only have a hand stop me. Angelina placed her mouth near my neck, i didn't flinch. Determined not to show fear. " Little mouse don't go running off till were home". Before letting me move she sniffed my neck and grazed her fangs.

We stood outside the hospital, the breeze hitting us slightly, Robin waved us off. I handed her my letter I wrote before. Drake finally pulled me away to the car after saying my goodbyes to the staff." What was in the letter?" Drake questioned. I didn't want to lie to him but this was the only way. " A thank you letter". We both turned to angelina as she giggled, her fangs over biting her lips." Let's get back I'm staving" I'm quite glad she said this bringing on a different subject even though the thought turned my stomach. We drove away, my eyes glued to Robin now intently reading away. In Three days time I would meet her outside the hospital. Until then I would remain in my new 'home', i was going to value these days. Unsure if I will ever see Drake again. With that thought I molded my body round his lap, then closed my eyes. He moved my hair then gently kissed my cheek.i fell into a deep sleep as he traced the wrinkles on my palm.
