A Sepsis Nightmare

Chapter Four

**= thought

It felt hot like fire was flowing through your veins. The burning in your neck had now spread throughout your body causing an unbearable heat that left you immobilized. You had previously fallen to the floor only to be scooped up into the arms of a man who held you close to him, shushing you to sleep.
Unable to protest you complied with his gentle demands feeling the sweet relief of the internal fire within your veins subside as you began to doze off. It was as if his words and touch had control over the internal flames that reside within you. Everything began to fade to black whilst he lifted you in the air and began walking. Once again quietly muttering to himself with what you could imagine was a smile on his face.
"Your mine now"

Eyes flying open you lurched out of bed tangled in blankets as you fell to the floor from getting up too abruptly. Quickly standing back up you began to survey the room that surrounded you. It itself was well lit with what you could only guess was morning sunlight coming in from the window you spotted not far from you. There was a bed, a dresser, and some odds and ends of decorates that you didn't really care for. Spotting a mirror you began to recollect the events of the night before and dashed towards it. Checking your neck, and then your body for any sign of proof of the internal fire that had scorched through your body the previous night, to no avail you couldn't see any signs of it. Finding none you sighed in confusion. Surely you could not have imagined it could you? You are in fact not in your own room, so there is no possible way you dreamt the madness that took place that night. Beginning to doubt yourself and your sanity you take one last look into the mirror once again as you saw the reflection of the door behind you. The reflection of the door had been ajar.
Curiously you turned around slowly and walked towards the mysterious door. Opening it to reveal what could simply be described as a living room you stand in the door way perplexed. Puzzled, you stepped out as a very well-known scent hit your nose that made your stomach grumble. "Mmmm food" you followed your nose like a wild beast following the trail of their pray to an open eat-in kitchen. There you saw the back of a tall pale man with some green dyed tips to his dark hair cooking at the stove.
Anti
You had started to back up slowly turning thinking he hadn't noticed your presence when his voice cut through your thoughts almost frightening you. "Well hello Darling, glad to see you're up. Sit with ol' Anti an have some breakfast." He had motioned you to go sit at the table with a shrug of his shoulder. Reluctantly you sat down as he turned around to face you with a big plate of pancakes covered in powdered sugar, syrup, and chocolate chips (or whatever breakfast you desire) placing it in front of you before sitting in the chair adjacent to yours. "Well eat up sweetie pie, you must be starving" he said in a way you almost thought that would make this situation seem almost normal. You nodded looking at the plate, hesitantly picking up a fork and looked up to see Anti watching you patiently.

"Uh thanks..."
You said still staring at your plate, with fork in hand. Anti must have suddenly got sick of waiting and took your fork from your hand shoveling a piece into your mouth.

"For fuck sakes girl, it's not like I poisoned it" you nodded and began taste overwhelming your senses causing pure delight as you began to eat more much to Anti's amusement.
"Not that you would even be able to tell."

You shot him a glance of horror "haha. Looks like you like them, I'm glad I'll make them for you whenever you like" the green haired man said changing the topic, placing his hand on top of yours. Compelled to look into his eyes you nodded. A faint smile spreading across your lips, but you tried not to make it too obvious.
