Shattered Soulmates, Stone Mountain Shifters, Book 4

Chapter 11 - Caught by the All-Seeing Eye in the Sky

Miles

We hadn't been playing cards for an hour when the migraine began. The pounding on my head was followed by nausea and vomiting. "Guys." I moan from the bathroom. "I think I need to take a raincheck." I spit and wipe my mouth, flushing the toilet. "This may be a stomach bug that has set in."

The guys start clearing up the spread we had laid out. "Let me take you down to med bay to get checked. They can give you something for nausea, too." Knight offers.

"Yeah. Sounds good." I croak, hoarse from the non-stop projectile vomiting.

As we begin the descent down the stairs, Veronica comes in nearly carrying a comatose Hannah. "What's wrong with Hannah?" Knight asks.

"I don't know. She and I were having a girl's movie night; she suddenly got sick and started vomiting everywhere." Veronica looked panicked. "It was non-stop. Next thing I knew she was out cold."

Knight pointed to her shirt. "Where's the blood coming from?"

Veronica looks down at Hannah's shirt and we notice a blossoming red stain. "What the h3ll! Knight!"

Knight, still holding me up with one arm, grabs Hannah with his other arm and orders, "Go get help, Veronica, now!" Veronica takes off running down the corridor to med bay.

Knight struggles to pull both Hannah and I down the hall. He is solid muscle, but I am a big guy, so he struggles a bit but manages.

Veronica races back to us with Rachel and another shifter that works down there, Billy. in tow. Each of them is pushing a wheelchair.

"Veronica, I thought you all were having a spa night with Marissa." I state. "Where is Marissa?"

"Oh." She startles, looking like she'd been caught out. "She went out to get us some drinks. She should be back any minute. What's going on with you?"

"Same. Vomiting, nausea. It all started with a migraine though."

"I guess I better catch up to Hannah." She gestures toward the wheelchair carrying Hannah that is racing away from us.

Rachel comes around the corner as Knight wheels me closer. "Oh. Knight. How bad is Miles?"

"He's finally stopped vomiting."

"Are there lesions on his body?" She asks quickly.

I lift his shirt and am startled by the welts covering his torso. "Y-yes!"

"Okay, Hannah is worse off than him. Put him in #2 while I stabilize Hannah and get her ready for transport."

"Transport?" Knight asks.

"Yes, she is in the last stages of Cheating Mate Syndrome. I hope we can get her to the main hospital in time."

She races away to the emergency bay and I hear her yelling instructions to her team who were already working on her. Enf. North sprints by the open doorway and enters the emergency bay. In about 15 minutes, North and a few of the other medical team members are racing towards the helipad.

A ragged Rachel walks in the room a few minutes later and looks at me. "Miles, I pretty much know what's wrong with you as well."

I peer into her eyes. "I don't want to hear any bull about Cheating Mate Syndrome, Rachel. Just because Hannah shows signs of it, doesn't mean that's what's wrong with me."

"You need to open your eyes, Miles." Rachel rolls her eyes.

"No! Marissa has never cheated on me. She just flighty sometimes and just takes off. But she promised not to do that this time and she hasn't." I bellow. "This is just a migraine!"
