Chapter 28

"Feeling better?" Rebeca asked Mitch, looking up at him smiling.
"Yeah. Thank you," Mitch replied also smiling. Rebeca always brought out the happiness in him, no matter his mood.
"You going to stay up?" Rebeca asked Mitch. He wasn't feeling tired at all. His sleep cycle messed up from his Change.
"Yeah... I wouldn't go back to bed." Mitch replied.
"Awww... Can I sleep in your bed? I think I'll fall right to sleep with your scent around me." She asked.
"Of course. I think i'm going to go to the gym," Mitch told her.
"ok. It's been awhile since you've done that. At least a month." She informed him, she was right but now Mitch had plenty of active time where no one else was up and he told her so.
"True. ok, have fun," She said and got into Mitch's bed. Snuggling under the covers rather cutely and Mitch walked over and gave her a good night kiss. She smiled and settled herself into bed and Mitch sat on the bed next to her until she fell asleep.

After she did, Mitch got up, got dressed quietly and left the room just as quietly so he didn't wake a freshly sleeping Rebeca. Mitch turned to leave and saw the Fist, Rebeca's guard, leaning against the wall in the hallway of Mitch's room. She tall, a few inches taller than Mitch. with a narrow, angular face, shoulder length silver hair and silver eyes. She was wearing a bright red T-shirt that read "Did Anyone Ask You?" with black skinny jeans, her skin a tanned color.
"Do you ever sleep?" Mitch asked, genuinely curious.
"No," She replied. Her eyes studying him in a not so casual sense. Her voice measured, sounding older than she looked which was between 25 and 30 if Mitch had to guess.
"How do you manage that?" Mitch asked, surprised.
"Family secret," She stated, flatly.
"Oh... Ok. Anyways, what's your name? It occurred to me that I never asked and I apologize." Mitch asked.
"You don't need to apologize, and it's Rosa." She said.
"Rosa..." Mitch said, nodding.
'I'm gonna go to the gym," Rosa nodded and Mitch walked past her and to the door outside, and from there out to the car and drove to the gym.

New Falls was a small city, relatively speaking. Only a few miles in diameter were the extent of it's city 's parent's house and Rebeca's mansion were both outside the city limits. The gym Mitch was going to was open 24/7 and was fairly large. Holding a great deal of exercise equipment. Mitch pulled into the parking lot, their was not many vehicles which was to be expected. He walked up to the front door and opened it up to a half circle room. The center of the room holding a large desk similar in shape to the room where a single receptionist sat, reading a magazine until she noticed Mitch.
"Oh My!" She exclaimed getting out of her chair, blue eyes widening.
"Are you ok? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" She asked hurriedly.
"No Lucy i'm fine. It's Mitch. I was sick, I am all better now but the sickness changed the color of my skin," Mitch lied.
Her mouth was still agape for a second before recovering her composure.
"Oh Mitch. I didn't recognize you, it's been over a month since we las seen you. Are you sure your ok?" She asked.
"I'm sure i'm ok Lucky, Thank you for asking though. May I use the facilities?" Mitch asked.
"Of course Mitch, your account is still active, and she pressed a button under her desk and Mitch heard the latches on the doors on the far side of the room unlock.
"Thanks Lucy. Is anyone else in?" Mitch asked.
"Um... Oh right! There is a newish girl. Thick black hair, red gym wear, nicest person you could ever meet," She explained. Mitch farrowed his brow and nodded before walking into the gym and there she was, just as Lucy described, Jene.

Mitch tensed up for a moment and heard his other voice.
Ahh... There she is... Maybe we should go over an show her what fear really is... Mitch felt his canines start to extend and willed them back to normal, Mitch was not like that, he would not give into the petty revenge his alter ego was wanting to indulge in.
Revenge yes... but not petty, if you need a reminder... and Mitch started to feel a burning sensation on his neck like the first time Jene had bit him and winced. How could his alter ego gain such power over him
You starve yourself Michel! The harder you fight, the harder and more painful it will be... Mitch close his eyes and with will. Forced his alter ego to the back of his mind again.
