Hosie - Death Date

Chapter Six - You're Dead

Hey Everyone... If you're still there... Look I'm sorry I didn't finish this one but I now plan to :)

Mya's eyes open slowly, the first feeling that crosses over her is confusion. The second, this burning hunger. She just ate and she has no idea why she could possibly be this hungry. Then she remembers what had happened not long ago. She remembers seeing a car speeding towards her, she remembers her scream and then... and then, 'what happened after that?' She thinks to her self. 'That's it, nothing happened. Nothing... But something must of happened'.

"She's awake!" Josie exclaims. Mya puts her hands over her ears, Josie's being too loud. Her senses are in override.

"shh" Hope says. She leans down next to Mya who still looks extremely confused. "It's okay Mya, this might take a bit to explain to you... but you will be okay, if that's what you want?"

"What are you talking about? What happened? did that car hit me?" Mya asks. "Or am i dead?"

"Technically you are dead" Josie mutters. Hope looks back at Josie, glaring at her. "Sorry I know, rip off the bandaid slowly" She apologises. Hope looks back at Mya with a small reassuring smile.

"Yes you are dead" Hope starts to explain. "But you had my blood in your system and well, I'm supernatural. A hybrid of three creatures. Vampire, Witch and Werewolf. My blood has started to transition you into a vampire"

"Wait.... what?" Mya asks. Her head begins to hurt as her emotions flood in like a tidal wave. She puts her head in her hands.

"I know it's a lot to take in" Josie says as she kneels down next to her. "But i asked Hope to slip some of her blood into your coffee this morning so you could have the choice to live or not... and if not at least i'd have some time to say goodbye" She explains.

"What do you mean the choice to live? I'm already a vampire ain't i?" She asks.

"Not exactly" Hope chimes in. "You're in transition and in order to complete it you need to drink human blood, that's probably why you're so hungry"

After explaining everything to Mya they decided to go back to their hotel room, she hadn't made a decision. How could she make that decision so quickly? She had been prepared to die, she had not expected to be brought back to life, or whatever you call it. Mya mentioned to Hope and Josie that she wanted to be alone and she shut herself in her room.

"Do you think we made the right decision?" Josie asks.

"Honestly, The world sucks, these death dates that were scientifically engineered into everyone's DNA was the worst idea that anyone has ever come up with. People shouldn't know when they are going to die and I honestly think that having a death date impacts that. Mya wouldn't have been so careless out in the street today if that date wasn't on her arm. I don't think she would have died without it. So yes I do think we made the right decision because she deserves a chance like everyone else." Hope explains. "And so do you"

"Mya deserves to be here, she's such a good soul and I hope she stays just so she can be an impact to everyone else around her"

"I've heard enough" Mya says. Hope and Josie turned towards her bedroom door, not realizing that she had poked her head out. "I will turn, Josie give me some of your blood"

"I wouldn't worry about that" Hope says as she opens the mini fridge and pools out a blood bag and throws it to her. "I'm disappointed, I thought you'd smell that blood bag from a mile away"

Josie's birthday is in two days which means her death date is in three. Hope is stressing out and she has already been slipping her blood into Josie's coffee in the morning. It has been a few days since they got back from Australia and it was almost as if the orphanage didn't even realize they were gone. Mya didn't come back to the orphanage, she decided to stay in Australia for a while. She didn't want anyone to know that she was still alive as it was known around the orphanage when her death date was. No one spoke of Mya, the assumption that she had passed had swept over the whole orphanage and they all moved on with their life.

Hope sat on her bed in hers and Josie's room, she looked over at Mya's bed, it had been cleared. If only people knew that she was still alive, she would surely be hunted down to have tests on her. Josie's walks in with a dress in her hand. "Hey what's that for?" Hope asks.

"Well it's for my birthday in a couple of days, I was hoping maybe we can go out and make the most of my last human birthday" She suggests.

"How does New Orlean's sound?" Hope asks with a smile.
