Upside Down

eleven

           Princess. I liked that nickname. "You've got to put the ointment on your face and take the medication," he said picking me up and setting me on the bed. I watched him walk over to the tray that the doctor left. He took the two different pills and got the ointment.

        He grabbed the glass of water that was sitting there and walked toward me. He opened the tube of ointment and put some on his fingers. He tucked a piece of hair from in my face behind my ear and started, spreading it on my face and an instant cooling feeling dispersed through my face. I finished rubbing it in myself and prepared to take the medicine. He handed me a blue pill, "this ones for the hallucinations." I put it in my mouth and gulped it down. He handed me a big white one, "this ones to prevent infection." I took that one as well.

          I turned on the tiny hospital T.V. and started watching Friends. I patted the spot beside me and Leyton came and laid down beside me. I started to hear whimpering, Akino? Is that you?

'Yes it is! I missed you. I'm trying my best to fight off the hallucinations for you.' I laced my fingers with Leyton's and listened to my wolf. So do you like Alpine? Because I sure love Leyton. 'Of course I love him! I want to come out so bad and just tackle him and give him kisses.' I blushed and realized that my wolf was very loving and compassionate.

Akino you're such a softie. She growled playfully. The closer I got to Leyton the louder she got. Now I wish you were quiet. I'll shift eventually. I could picture her shaking her head, even though I had no idea how she looked.

"Lets go get something to eat," Leyton said getting up from the bed. I nodded and stood up, I started to ignore the pain of my neck. We walked down to the elevator and stepped inside. Inside held another person, Allie. "Hi Allie," I whispered. My voice was coming back. The ginger turned to look at me. Her brown eyes were glazed over and her face was red. "Hello, Beta Tara."

          "What are you in here alone for?" She looked down and hugged me, "Jacob was hurt. Badly." I frowned and crouched to face her. "Where's his room?" She told me the room number and that she was going to see him after she got food. I told her that we'd go with her to get food and see Jacob.

         The elevator let us off and we walked into the cafeteria of the hospital. I grabbed two waffles and sat down at a table. I set my food down and helped Allie get her food. She got a muffin and sausage. I showed her to the table where Leyton was already sitting. We ate in silence. As we all finished I grabbed a bottle of orange gaterade and continued walking to Jacob's room. As I walked into his room his face brightened, "I didn't think you'd come to see me." He saw his sister and gestured for her to hop on the bed.

         "So what happened?" Leyton asked for me. "I was stabbed. Good thing I didn't die," he said pointing to his stomach. I noticed all of the tubes and wires connected to his arms. "We'll leave you two alone." I walked out of the hospital room and back into the elevator. Inside I saw Amy. I couldn't see any immediate damage to her, which I'm happy for. I gave her a wave and my mind went fuzzy. As the elevator brought me to my room I sat down on my hospital bed quickly. I couldn't think straight and all I heard was my wolf growling and whimpering at the same time.

         The scent of sugar and roses came to my nose and I yelled out for Leyton to get a doctor, ignoring the pain in my throat. I couldn't see anything and I gave up on trying to fight it. It's no use. Stop trying. I closed my eyes and held onto the bed. The hallucination brought me back to when I was getting the bow and arrow. It showed me grabbing it and shooting but the arrows missed. I was soon trampled by them and my hands were numb.

           I looked to the side to see Siqorra holding the bow I had. There was an arrow left and she squinted and shot my arm. "Not everyone can be saved!" The pain in my arm was unbearable. I grabbed my arm and saw the amount of blood coming from it. I winced at the pain and my breathing started to calm down but Andrews pack wouldn't stop trampling me.

         Then it just stopped. I woke up in the hospital room and the pain in my arm was still there like usual. My left arm was purple from me squeezing it so hard. I looked around and saw a woman doctor and in her hand she had a needle. "It worked," she said looking at the needle. "But the hallucinations will continue to get stronger." I looked to Leyton who's face was laced with fear. "No," I let out. "These have been sending me messages and I don't know whether you should make them stop or not."

        "I'll let you sleep on the decision. You make quite a lot of noise while in the middle of one so I have to go and alert everyone that everything is okay." I nodded and sighed. I looked at Leyton who was running a hand through his hair. He noticed me and spoke up, "I hope you know that your voice is beautiful." I blushed and laid down on the bed. I fell asleep.

       I was at the Moon River again. I looked at the moon and didn't see Moon Goddess. Instead I saw someone who I didn't recognize. He had dark hair, and red eyes. His skin was ghostly pale and he wore a torn grey shirt. He descended from the moon and looked at me. "I've got Moon Goddess, and I've been causing your hallucinations. The only way to get Moon Goddess back and to stop you must do me a favor." I backed away from him and there was something sticky and black behind me. I was trapped in it.

          I looked at him, "what is that favor?" The words seemed to slip out of my mouth without a single hint of fear. He looked at me and gave me an evil smirk. "You must kill you and the alphas mate."
