Annie POV

I sat up in bed, the cords all tangling out of me. Jacob was asleep on the side of my bed. Which I happened to realise was a hospital bed. I felt trapped I didn't know what was going on. So I hit the emergency button and to my surprise doctors came filing in.

"How did you wake up?"

"Are you ok?"

"How do you feel?"

Doctors were bombarding me with questions and I didn't have the space to think led alone breathe.

"Everyone move away. Annie, hi I'm nurse Stacy. How are you feeling?"

"Where am I? What happened?"

"She's in shock."

"Please Dr.Henderson, lower your voice. Clear all of these students out please this is not a case to deal with."

Stacy turned back to face me, she had a lovely smiled on her face.

"Sorry about that. You are in hospital. You have been transmitted with two diseases. One which is night terrors, meaning you have been having nightmares that you haven't been waking up to and that you are unaware about. Also you have nocturnal seizures, which is why we brought you in. It's just you having a seizure while your asleep. All the doctors came rushing in because you weren't supposed to wake up."

"Ok."

I looked down at Jacob and realised he was bleeding. His head was bleeding.

"What happened to Jacob?"

The nurse, Stacy, looked at me and all of a sudden I was deeply afraid. She smiled at me and laughed except this time it wasn't friendly. Her smiled turned wicked and fangs sank down from her gums. Fangs! How was this possible I was fully awake! In a rushing hospital!

"What are you doing!"

She brought her lips right to my neck and whispered to me.

"He married her."

Then she sank her fangs into my neck, I started thrashing and pushing her away. But it didn't help, and Jacob wasn't waking up. Was he dead? Oh please he wasn't dead.

I started to feel light headed from all the blood she was draining from me. Oh god please, please help me.

I woke up to a loud alarm going off, and doctors pushing me out of the room. I looked at Annie, and she was thrashing a round in her bed. I stayed outside her room window, but then a doctor who I wasn't sure of came over and closed the curtain. I sank down against the wall below the window.

"What's going on?"

My heart was slamming against my chest as I asked myself that question. I felt like the world was falling apart around me. What was I supposed to do? I couldn't hold on any longer, I was slipping away.

I woke up sitting in a chair, still outside Annie's room. I saw Stacy walking towards me, from down the hall.

"Nice it see you're awake Jacob. Here have this, it will help."

She said as she passed me a bottle of water and some tablets. I smiled at her, which hurt my head a lot. Then I took the tablets.

"What's going on in there?"

The alarm was in my voice but also the pain I felt, it had slipped out as I spoke. Stacy kneeled down beside my chair.

"Annie is coming out of her terror at the moment. You need to stay out of there during this process, it is dangerous for the doctors and we don't won't you getting hurt. If she is successfully taken out of the terror, she will remain in hospital for a few weeks. Just so we can monitor her."

"I hope she makes it through."

I whispered, unsure if I could speak with out breaking down again.

"Me too. Come stay in the nurses lounge. I have an apartment room, just down the hall. You can sleep there for a while."

She helped me to my feet and walked me away from Annie. Away from my love. I was going to come back soon. After a small nap, if I can fall asleep.
