~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't know how many days it has been because I went in and out of consciousness all the while they were stacking my body with loads of antidote to help me with the virus. I saw my Mom and Jim visiting but they never really talked. People came and gone checking my vitals or sticking a needle on my wound to aspirate samples. I couldn't help but feel like I'm a lab rat. A bitten individual would only survive within a few hours as human before turning. In my case they are amaze that my body not only rejected the virus, it made immunity even. Come to think of it, as a kid I never got that much sickly. I'd only have fever and it'll go away, but my classmates would be sent to hospitals because of the same flu.

My body hurt like it's dead already not to mention the bite site where I could feel Xed's teeth still lingering like an ass that he is. And lethargic moments came and gone. That was my routine, waking up seeing faces then sleep.

Maybe it was one of those lethargic episodes when I saw he had his back on me, his long black as the night hair was tied in a loose pony-tail. I was so tempted to run my fingers on it. It's weird that I that I hate him but I coouldn't help myself from wanting him. He is that one person that made me want to loose control over things because I know he can save me. He had his usual clothing on, white button up long sleeved shirt, half of it's button's open exposing this god chiselled chest muscles, with his pants sexily hanging low like it'll fall at any given moment. He was looking out side the window with sun shining through illuminating his skin. And it confused me on how he can stay for a long time without even developing rash  or wounds that other bats get when they stay under the sun. They don't die but it's a big discomfort for them to be exposed to the light, but Xed is standing there like pausing for a girl's magazine with all his emotion turned mournful it pierced my heart to see him like this.

"I can't sense her, Jhared. But I know she lives...I just know..." He said sighing with all the frustrations laced in his voice. "It's my fault...I was so hungry and her blood smelt so good. I couldn't help myself. I wanted her to be mine." Turning to look at the man staying in the shadows with a lit cigarette on his fingers Xed asked. "You received the call from the shelter yet?" but the man just shook his head no.

'Recieved the call from the shelter? There's a spy?" I thought to myself as I listened to what he just said but he suddenly looked at my direction with alertness. His eyes constricted to cat like slits on it's hunting modes. "Oh Crap! He heard me!" I thought again.

"My Lord, you sensed the presence?" the man in he shadows said. I looked at him as Xed nodded in agreement. "Who ever the individual is an immortal, human's cannot pass through my barrier undetected, So the chances of it being your beloved paramour is a mist." he said causing all hope in Xed's eyes to vanished. He walked near me. "I can sense your eavesdropping! Get out!" With his words I felt something push me away. I tried staying but the more I do so the harder it became. "Get. Out!" He shouted and I saw blood trickling down from his nose. It destructed me causing me to stumble and be taken by that powerful force away from the two of them and back to the hospital facility where I was held a prisoner.

I opened my eyes and was greeted by the white florescent light reflected by the tiled wall. I was like inside a morgue rather inside a hospital. I tried sitting but I was tied on the bed. "Excuse me." I said calmly looking at the mirror which I know is a one way mirror where my nurse would be. "Can you please take this off me. I'm pretty sure I'm normal." I know usually the changed individual would have that blood lust going crazy and attacking anyone in sight.

 I heard muffled sounds outside when door of the room opened and my friends came rushing in. "Fran!!!!" they said in unison. Chealsea started taking the strap off of my arms while Mushka took of the ones on my legs. Queencie and Noelle slowly stopping all th tubes  connected to me.

"Geez I'm not deaf." I said smiling. "Where were you guys when they're experimenting on me. You owe me." I was just kidding but the four of them looked at me dead serious. "Alright, alright...I'm fine...and normal...except for this." I said pointing on the bit site. "It feels like it'll explode at any momment." they finally freed my ristraint and slowly sat me up. "Sorry for worrying you guys." I hugged them smiling. "Now can you take me out of this room? I want to see my Momma." They giggled and helped me walk out the threshold of the room. My body felt fine. I think I'm even well enough to fight bats.

"They are thinking that the bite wasn't deep enough to penetrate the nerves. That's why you are fine." Queencie informed me. But it did not explain who on earth did I get to see Xed. Was my soul travelling like some psychic would say. But I wasn't in a coma, well, I'm in a medication induced coma that is.

"Well what is important is that you're back." Noelle said smiling at me with all sincerity. She  "Chealsea was crying all day when you were sent to facility. She was blaming it all on herself."

"No, Cheal, it wans't your fault. I know the risks of my job so no harm done. I'm one though chick to kill." I said hugging Chealsea assuring her that all is well. "If you didn't got me on time I'm already dead." She smiled at me all teary eyed.

"Wait til you hear what I got to say." Mushka said sing songly in a very excited tone waving her left hand in an odd manner. I raised my brows and gave her a confusing look. "Alright, you are so low in getting what i mean." she sighed irritated. "Alfonse and I are getting married!!!!!!!" She squealed then hugged me. I never saw that coming but I swear I am happy for the two of them.

"Nice! I volunteer to be the pretty little flower princess to literally flood your path with tons of petals." I said acting like a ballerina swinging from side to side. We all laughed until the Shelter General made his presence known by coughing. That literally put us in our lines with salutes.

"It's good to see you well." He said to me with that military voice of his that kids would surely flinch on hearing. "You girls better butter up and get ready. In three days time I'll meet you in my office for a briefing." Queencie raised her hand. "Yes, that includes you little girl. I heard about your stories, the five of you had accomplished many things even before the war. And I know you'll be capable of what I've got in mind. Now, Dismissed." We saluted him and marched away.

"What the heck was that about." I said sighing. I know I'm not that important in the military to be visited by the General himself, not to mention I'm still in my hospital gown. But for him to visit me with such great urgency I could sense that something big was coming. Maybe just maybe, I'm still on my death roll.
