The Call Part 4

(Lin's POV)

     I remember that night in great detail. After I had dropped Mai off at home and I had returned to the apartment that I was renting and then went to bed only four and a half hours later to be awoken by a phone call from Mai due to the ring tone I chose for her. I quickly grabbed my cell phone and sat up and answered it by saying "Whats wrong Mai?"

     "Lin oh god there is blood everywhere, I am so scared..." She cried out this made my eyes widened and pushed me into getting ready "Ow oh god Lin I think that the blood is mine, oh god it is Lin there is a cut across my stomach...it hurts Lin help me I'm so scared." She said and started weeping. As she spoke to me, I quickly got up and changed my clothes and grabbed my keys by the time she was done talking I told her that I was on my way over to her place now and not to move I then asked her if there was a spare key and she told me that there was one on the top of the door. Once there I grabbed the key and opened the door and closed it behind me and briskly walked to her room. When I opened the door, I stopped in fear that she might be gone because she was not moving and looked rather pail, that was until I noticed her head turn towards me as her eyes opened. I quickly went to her side and pulled the sheets back and saw the blood all over her stomach and the bed as well without thinking I pulled her shirt up to reveal her stomach only for my eyes to land upon a bloody cut across her stomach. I looked into her eyes and saw that she was slowly starting to get more color and she started to talk to me. She said "Lin I am scared but I think I am starting to feel better just a little." she smiled up at me and started to sit up and I tried to stop her but she told me that she was not that week. As she looked down at her stomach again Her eyes widened and she whispered "Lin look at my stomach."

     "I did Mai it is pretty bad." I told her only for her to respond to what I just said.

     "No Lin look the cut is going away." When she said that I quickly looked back to her stomach only for me to see the cut closing up and disappearing. I grabbed the sheet and wiped the rest of the blood of her stomach, she slightly winced at the slight pressure I applied in order to remove it all. "It is okay Lin I just feel sore like I just worked out." I then looked in her eyes and knew that she would not like what I was going to tell her next.

     "Mai... this is dangerous for your health, we need to make it so you are able to train to make sure that you don't dream and suffer like this again." I told her as I looked her in the eyes, waiting to see her reaction.She looked slightly upset at what I was saying. "Lin this is the first time this has happened to me, I did not keep anything from you at dinner."

     "I know Mai, I did not want it to sound as if I thought you did. I mean that your life is going to change and I am trying to tell you that I am no longer able to train you and that you are going to have to go to my parents in China to get trained if not them you will have to go to England to get trained by either Noll or his Parents." I said again looking her in the eyes, seeing the realization dawn in her eyes.

     "Really...is this really that bad..." She asked me.

     "Yes it is Mai imagine if the victim in your dream had their throat sliced open then you would bleed out just like them, and you might even die from the blood loss. This is now a very dangerous stage that your levels are at now and we need to get your training done." I told her.

     "Okay then when do I start training?" She asked as she pulled away the sheets from her body.

     "Well the first question I have is where would you like to train?" I asked as I helped her up from her bed and helped her to the bathroom so she could get cleaned up.
