COLD BLOOD

●○●○ SICK ○●○●

Suddenly my dad started the engine and our car moved through the row of other cars. I didn't see his car again and took a sigh of relief.

When I came home I was so tired. I had planned to take somedays off from college. Still, I had no idea as to why Adrian was following me. I wrote down my leave for a couple of days and gave it to my dad.

Dad! Please give it to Mr Adrian, our class teacher. Tell him that I won't be coming to college for a couple of days. I am not feeling well. I said extending my hand to give my leave to my dad.

Yes! I was going to say the same to you honey. You should take rest. You are not looking good. Dad said kissing my forehead and turned to leave.

I tried to sleep but it looked like I had lost my sleep somewhere. Last night events were played infront of me like a movie. I hid half of my face inside the duvet. It was thursday and I had planned to get 2 days off from college today and tomorrow and after that I will get saturday and sunday so it will be a total of 4 days rest. I wanted to really sleep this time and after a struggle of an hour I had managed to fall asleep.

I got up at about 3 p.m in the afternoon and feeling hell groggy. I hadn't felt that much sick before in my life. I had a strong urge to vomit so I ran towards the bathroom and vomited. It was like I had a cleanup of my belly. I vomited till my stomach begin to hurt.

What was wrong with me? I looked intothe mirror.

Dark circles were clearly visible and my skin had got more paler than before. I was looking like a living zombie out of a movie. My lips had also lost their natural pinkish tone and turned almost colourless.

Oh God! What's wrong with me? I ran my hand through my hairs..

I went downstairs to eat something and my mother's jaw dropped when she saw me.

Angela! Oh God! What has happened to you?
Mom looked at me with her eyes wide opened..

I don't know mom. May be its due to the lack of sleep. I tried to relax her.

But Angie honey. It doesn't look like. It seems that you have blood deficiency. Look at your face,its gone paler and your lips.. mom said in concern..I should take you to a specialist..

Its not needed mom. Its just a fever and tiredness and nothing more. I will be just fine..I fell on my chair..

No. You're going to the clinic with me today. Is that clear? Mom ordered me..

Yes mom..I yawned..

At about 5 p.m, I was at the doctor's office. Sitting on the examination table and waiting for the doctor. My feet were dangling above the ground. I felt like I didn't care anymore. The door opened and a gentlemen, in his mid 40's and supposed to be my doctor came inside..

Hey! So you're the patient. Doctor smiled opening my file..

Yes. I smiled carelessly..

Hmm. So you are complaining of fever, body ache and you threw up today as well..doctor took out a pen torch from his coat's pocket..

Ahan! I replied..

Hmm..open your eyes wide..dr threw the light of the torch in my eye..now look up, look down..good..you are indeed suffering from blood deficiency..now take deep breathes..the dr started checking for my breathing..lean down a little..wait..

I stopped as the dr moved some hairs from the back of my neck..what is this? He checked for the spot..seems like a bite..

What? I asked in shock..

Yes. Its on the side of your neck..dr pointed on the side of my neck..

Um..it could be a spider bite doc..I replied softly..

I didn't know the spider had fangs like a vampire..its quite big compared with a spider bite..he said..

What? But who could it possibly be if not a spider? I asked touching my spot where the doctor pointed..

I climbed down the examination bed and hurried towards the giant mirror placed against the wall in the doctor's office. I swept my hairs on a side and tried to look at my neck. There were two tiny spots, more like holes and that area was a bit red and swollen. I turned around towards to the doctor.

I think some kind of giant insect bit me thats why I am not feeling well. I said folding my arms on my chest and sat on the bed again.

Hmm. May be. I am prescribing you some antibiotics and an oinment. It will make you feel better. The doctor smiled putting his hand on my shoulder and giving me a friendly rub on my arm.
He tore the paper from his pad and gave it to me. Get these medicines from the Pharmacy as soon as possible.

I nodded in a yes and smiled..Thankyou doctor b.bye..I opened the door and came outside. I didn't want to tell my mom about it. I was scared and I didn't want to scare her as well..

I was laying on my bed and thinking about my illness. After a couple of hours of taking the meds, my symptoms had already started to wear off. As soon as I started to feel better, I gave a thought about Adrian and then I fell into a deep ocean of thinking.

'Why was his skin so white? How could his eyes turned from blue to a jet black colour? Why did he become so angry when I told him I don't keep any boyfriend? And specially, what was he doing in my room last night and also outside the hospital?

I was totally messed up in those thoughts so I decided to take a look at his facebook profile.
He had a few friends, mostly teachers at our college. His profile was as normal looking like any ordinary person.
'Angela! What are you thinking? He is not what you think he is..stop making a fool of yourself..I thought to myself...

I started searching about some paranormal stuff on the internet. Usually, I loved to search about it all day long. I came across a website and started reading some random stuff just then I saw an article about vampires..I clicked on the article and began to read..

There were two types of vampires. One type who usually drink human blood and kill them. They can't show themselves in the sunlight because it would burn them. Another type was half vamps half humans. Usually this type was called "Hybrids" born as a result of marriage between a human and a vampire. This type possesses both vampire and human qualities.

I was tired of the bullshit..so I turned off my lappy and fell on my bed..

"Was Adrian a vampire? Was he a hybrid? I was puzzled so much that I pulled my duvet above my head and fell asleep...
