"Man what are you doing here?, you are supposed to be keeping your distance". I heard Matt whisper yell.
"I was found I needed some where to crash and this is the only place I could think of, look man I'm sorry but I need your help. And Zarina needs mine." I heard the stranger say, judging by the voice he was tall, masculine and I little older than Matt and myself."RIN!!! RIN!!!" I heard Matt yell my name. The shock of Matt yelling out my name made me jump hit my head and drop the glass and then managed to cut my knee on a shard of glass.
"Crab" I whispered to myself.
I could hear footsteps walking towards the ensuite and tried to stand back up but failed when I slipped back down. The cut on my knee was rather deep and it did not look nice, I carefully picked up a shard of glass and examined it the liquid on it was not clear like water but more like a murky green sort of swamp liquid.The doors burst open and I saw two men walk in or more there shoes, one pair I knew where Matts but the others I did not know.
I tried with all my might to stand up but failed miserably. The last I heard was Matt frantically yelling my name and picking me up bridal style, the rest is all blurry but some parts were clearer than others.From what I remembered I was carried to the sitting room where a pearl white liquid was dabbed on my knee, causing me to yell out in extreme pain.
I then felt something dripping on my forehead but was to preoccupied by the pain to notice.
I could not remember what came after that but I remember the two boys checking on me all most constantly and I was never alone.
By the time I was able to move without pain coursing through my body, the sun was rising. The new boy was sitting on the couch half asleep but still conscious enough to notice I'm awake.
"MATT!! MATT SHES WAKING UP" I heard him yell out to Matt. Then all of the sudden I hear doors swing open and I sleep deprived Matt rushing in. He had rings under his eyes and his lips were pale, his hair was messed up from having hands run through it and he was wearing a thick coat of sweat.
He rushed to my side and hugged me tighter than I could have imagined.
"DUDE??!!." I said hardly being able to breath. He loosened his grip and then backed away.
"Sorry" he said apologetically. I looked around at my surroundings, I was in the spare room that Matt had found through a little hall way, we thought got it must have been a passage to another apartment so we didn't go in the room. My thumb had a pulse detector thingy on it and there was a drip beside me. It took a while for my eyes to re-adjust but I was soon able to see the semi familiar room with white was a wardrobe and two windows, nothing special but it wasn't a bad room either. With all the medical equipment it looked like a hospital room."I have three questions" I said starring at Matt, not wanting to acknowledge the other person in the room.
"Shoot" he said slipping his hands into his jean pockets.
"One. How long have I been out?
Two. Why did I go out?
And three. Who the hell is this guy?" I said listing off the questions with my fingers and then pointed directly at the new guy who was yet to be informed that I was not a very trusty person.
"Okay, so you have been out for five days, you were poisoned and this is Jamie" he said casually. I gawked at him because of how long I was out it felt like one night not five days. I was shocked then the rest of what he said started to filter through my brain.
I was poisoned, but how? And by who?
"Ah...I...um okay" I stuttered slowly and painfully. I then looked at Jamie for the first time taking in his appearance. My mouth hung open, but I quickly shut it as I looked at the practical Greek god he was the hottest person on earth.
His hair was wavy and blonde...I think, hey the lighting wasn't great I could hardly see Matts face and he was mere inches from my face sitting on the bed. Anyway back to Jamie the Greek god, he was wearing a black V neck tee-shirt and dark blue jeans.
"Jamie was the one who saved your life so you can thank him for your heart beat" Matt said groggily.
"Thank you" I said sending him a small smile. He returned it with a genuine looking smile.
"It was nothing, the herbs did most of the work" and then I remembered the deep cut on my leg I lifted the sheets revealing my paler legs and no cut?
What?
"What the hell" I whispered mostly to myself but got a reply anyway.
"Rasparm heels almost any wound although it doesn't get rid of poisons and so on" said Jamie.
"But you want be able to walk on the leg for quite a while." He said tenderness in his voice.
I sat up and rested my back on the backboard of the bed, being cushioned by the pillows on the bed. It was at this movement that I realised I was starving.
"I'm starving" I said clutching my stomach.
"Yeh rasparm tends to do that to people or wolves should I say." And with that I was completely lost. He knew about wolves and then I realised my ears world be showing.
crab!! My eyes. Arghh why did their happen.
"I will bring back some food, and coffee any requests?" He asked make his way to the door.
"Maple latte" I said way to fast and then realised he probably didn't understand a word I said.
"Got it a maple latte coming right up, uh I will be a while actually. I can't make coffee so I will go to the cafe,be back soon, see ya" he said saluting.
As soon as he was gone I glared at Matt.
"What?" He asked.
"Who is that really?" I asked attempting to sound calm but failed miserably.
"That is Jamie, he and I have been friends for almost all our lives, we both left our packs and found refuge in your dads pack."
I let what he said process and then came to a conclusion that it would be wrong to date Jamie, oh well it's not like I'm missing anything I did only just meet him, but man he was ... *sigh*.
The door opened again revealing Jamie in all his glory and a coffee cup and a plate with ...
"pancakes!!!" I squealed excitedly. I hadn't had pancakes in, a week maybe. Okay so it's not that long but I still missed them even if I was unconscious most of the time.
Jamie sat the plate beside me and put the latte on the night stand.
I devoured the pancakes and drank the latte within a matter of minutes. Hey, I was hungry.
"Here drink all of this" Jamie said handing me with a large cup of clear water.
"Uh, are you ..." I trailed off not knowing how to say it but I was now really cautious of what I drank.
"I ran some tests and I don't think that you will get poisoned again." He said sounding confident.
"Think, you think that I won't get poisoned." I said.
" And by think I mean 99.99998% sure you won't get poisoned again." He said less confident.
Is sculled the water and then felt really sleepy. I rested my head on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.
Whilst I was asleep I began to remember what happened through my time unconscious.(Dream)
My body was screaming in protest yelling at me to just end the suffering and kill myself. The pain was like having nails hammered into every muscle in my body. I attempted to look around the room for something to end my suffering with but there was nothing but a limp figure in a chair asleep. Every time I tried to move it felt like I was slowly being eaten alive. My eyes were on fire, my throat dry like a dessert, my veins like sandpaper rubbing against each other, the muscles in my body past being numb were consumed by a fierce pain and my joints where frozen in place. I let out a scream in protest, and the body jumped and dabbed something all over my legs, arms, torso, neck and face. The pain subsided slowly leaving me in a painful yet bearable state. But it didn't last for long the pain was soon back. But worse then ever.(End dream)
My eyes shot open in shock.
What was that?
Is that what I went through? Is that why Matt was sleep deprived and sweaty with a worried expression plastered on his face.I sat up and realised I was extremely thirsty, I tried to stand but failed because of my legs, they were like they had not muscle.
I looked around and saw the night stand, I used that the help me stand but as soon as I tried to walk more I fell, but I didn't hit the cold tiled ground but instead I was caught in the arms of an angel.
"You shouldn't be walking, or standing for that matter" said the deep and dreamy voice of Jamie.
I didn't answer knowing I was incapable of talking without drooling.
GAWD ZARINA GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!!
I looked up at him, he looked like he had just been woken up.
"Your lucky I woke up in time to catch you" he said smirking.
"Any way what were you doing?" He asked me looking into my eyes.
"I was thirsty, so obviously I tried to get a drink but was so rudely interrupted by you" I said jokingly punching his shoulder.
In one quick motion he picked me up and through me over his shoulder. I playfully hit his back knowing it would not make a difference.
"Sshhhh be quiet the monster is sleeping" he said jokingly, he tip toed through the halls and toward the kitchen, he put me down on a stool and headed for the cupboard. The cups inside where in a locked container? He grabbed on and put water in it from the filter he had brought.He gave me the cup and I sculled it in a matter of seconds.
"Want any more" he said taking the cup.
"Nah I'm good" I said wiping the top lip.
He put the cup in the sink and picked me up to take to me back to the bedroom but instead I told him to take me to the lounge cause I wanted to look out the windows. I felt silly but it had been what felt like forever since I saw the stars.He put me down on the couch and sat down on the single seat next to it.
I looked up through the window at the stars it was beautiful, it had been so long since I saw them.
"Ha" I whisper laughed to my self.
"What?" asked Jamie.
"It's a full moon."
