Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 129

!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday (pretty close)! I hope everyone had a good week. Mine was pretty normal. I practiced for my Halloween gig and taught voice lessons. I had a new student start this week, so that was fun. I just did mundane things like going to the store and pick up my son from school. We also had band practice tonight too.

Anyways, this week, Patrick's hallucination continues. Patrick is still floating in nothingness and describes how he is feeling, mentioning that he can tell that his body is massively changing and that something is changing his DNA. Pete runs into Elisa who gives him the list of ingredients they need for the potion. He visits Patrick to find he's getting worse and Spencer confirms that. Pete gets everyone's attention, tells them that the sisters have found a potion to suck the extra saliva out of Patrick, informs them that they need certain ingredients and assigns people to go get those ingredients, Pete helps Spencer change out the ice packs in Patrick's vest, and then he goes to take a nap. Patrick is delirious and pretty sure he's dying as he gets sicker. Pete wakes up, goes to check on Patrick, Spencer gives him an update and tells him that some of the others have returned with what they were sent get. They were just waiting on Joe and Andy to return with the giant moonwort. Pete goes to eat and drink and then returns to work on Patrick for a few hours. He's interrupted when the potion is done and they are ready to use it. Pete tries to tell Patrick what is about to happen, and Patrick hears him. The sisters light a candle and gather around Patrick, give him the potion, and cast a spell to make it work. It's incredibly painful for Patrick, but it is successful and everyone celebrates their win.

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it feel free to vote on my story or leave me a message. If you'd like to discuss the story with me directly, you can find me on tumblr @dancecoaster. Happy Reading!

Chapter 129

********Trigger Warning for Witchcraft and Spell Casting********

*Patrick is unconscious while still floating in the white state of nothingness. He's aware but is passed out enough that he's in this state between sleep and wakefulness. He knows he's not completely dead yet because he's still connected to his physical body, and he can feel everything that's happening to it. Uhhhhhhh! If it's possible, I think I feel worse than I did a few hours ago. My entire body is still aching everywhere, but it's much worse now. I'm getting congested and I can't breathe as well as I could before. My pain level has been steadily rising since the last time I checked, and it's much worse around all the bite marks that feel like they've either closed or have been sealed somehow. It feels absolutely raw, red, and painfully swollen around every single one of them. My head is pounding incredibly hard, I'm dizzy, the light is painful, the environment I'm in is spinning and my temperature has risen enough that it feels like my body is on fire. I can sense that I'm covered with ice packs or something cold, which feels good on my fevered skin. I can tell that I've been given something to help with pain and to bring my fever down, but it doesn't appear it's working. I just keep getting hotter. I'm not quite delirious yet, but I feel like I'm getting there. I still feel like my skin is very hot to the touch, it's making it hard to think and I feel incredibly nauseous. Even though my body is so hot, I am wet, like I'm either sitting in a puddle of water, or I'm sweating so much that I'm soaking through my clothes, whatever I'm lying on, and whatever it's covered with. I don't know if this is possible, but it feels like I have more body hair than before. I can feel more hair on my chest, my beard has grown back way quicker than normal, and my head feels like there's more hair there than there used to be. What is happening to me? My body's changing, but not in a good way, like something is terribly wrong! It's not like a simple change either! Whatever is going on, it is deep down, like something is rewriting my DNA, making me change into something else entirely. I feel so much weaker and sicker than before and it's hard for me to move. My heart is beating faster than normal, my stomach hurts a lot, and I can feel a needle in my arm. I don't know what's happening, and I'm scared! It's getting worse and I'm going downhill very quickly! Whatever battle my body is fighting, it's losing it! I don't want to die! Someone, please help me! I beg you! *
