The New Vampire in Town

chapter 7

Oskar and Demetria then woke up in hospital beds. Demetria blushed as she woke up in a hospital bed.

"Ugh, my head..." Oskar rubbed his head, feeling he might have hit it and looked to see they were in the nurse's office. "Oh, my gosh..."

Demetria sat up slowly and buried her face embarrassed in her hands.

"Are you okay?" Oskar turned to Demetria.

"I can't believe I fainted... In front of the school on my first day...." Demetria says softly.

"It's not your fault, that was just Stoker messing around, I just can't believe I fell for it again and he got you too." Oskar sounded angry with the bully vampire boy. 

Fou came to the kids in a nurse's outfit. "Are you kids okay now?"

Demetria looked up sadly. Her eyes were kind of doe like when she was sad.

"Oh, honey, it's not all bad..." Fou took out a lollipop for her. 

"Where's the nurse?" Oskar wondered.

"Night-off." Fou told him.

Demetria miserably sucked on the lollipop, but made sure to thank Fou.

"You two had a bit of a nasty fall," Fou smiled delicately to them. "What happened?"

"Somebody trying to be funny." Oskar nearly scoffed.

"That boy never learns..." Fou gently shook her head.

Demetria whimpered.

"It's okay, honey..." Fou tried to soothe Demetria. "I'm sorry this had to happen on your first day."

Demetria closed her eyes.

"Here, get some rest..." Fou adjusted her pillows.

Demetria didn't want to rest, but maybe it was best.

"Let me know when you're ready to go back." Fou allowed the kids to rest up a bit.

Oskar took a sip of water as he got comfortable in his own bed. Demetria looked at Oskar.

Oskar looked back to her with a friendly smile. "Hey, cheer up, it's not that bad."

Demetria sighed softly, gently.

Oskar took a drink. "So, what was your 'biteday' like?"

"Painful, messy... Horrible." she says simply.

"You wanna talk about it?" Oskar offered a sympathetic ear.

Demetria shook her head. "One day soon, I promise." she says though.

"Oh, okay..." Oskar decided not to badger her about it and make her feel uncomfortable.

Demetria smiled weakly.

Wren came by then. "Hey, guys."

"Oh, hi, Wren." Oskar greeted.

Deme smiled brighter slightly at Wren.

"Did you guys die?" Wren laughed a little.

"Very funny, Wren, Stoker was being dumb again." Oskar defended.

"Yeah, I guess it was kinda stupid." Wren chuckled, finding Stoker's prank funny even though it was totally mean.

Demetria looked at her. She found it funny?

Wren looked back to Demetria. "Oh, hey, don't take it so personal, Stokes always pulling stuff like that. You shouldn't let it get to you."

Demetria touched her neck absently. "But he did it during my first 'day'." she says softly.
