Mini

I Have What*

I wake up early, make the bed, and take a shower. Thankfully, they dropped my bag in here, so I had something to sleep in and to wear today.

"You up?!" I hear a knock on my door.

"Yeah, just a minute!" I answer. I toss on a tank top and go to the door. "Morning Xander." I say as I open it.

"Morning, Mini... you know it's funny, " he says, flopping on the bed. " You don't like me calling you little, but you are ok with a whole pack calling you Mini... It's funny."

"My pack doesn't use the name to mock me." I say.

"Neither do I." He starts rolling around in the bed, and I can't help but laugh.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Keeping my scent fresh." He says, grinning as he wallows around. "It's supposed to help your wolf... smelling me... it seems to keep her active."

"Well, you look ridiculous!" I laugh.

"And it's all for you, so don't make fun of me!" He says, hugging a pillow. "Come on!" He jumps up and throws the pillow back on the bed.

"You know I just made that!" I yell at him.

"It'll be alright!" he says, leaving.

"You pig!" I insult him. He turns around.

"I thought we covered this. I'm not a baboon, and I'm certainly not a pig. The word you're looking for is wolf!" He says coming as close as he can without touching me, then turns and walks out.

"I think I was looking for a few other words." I whisper under my breath.

"Heard that! Now come on, Doc is waiting!" Xander calls from the hall. I rush after him.

I'm actually excited. I never thought I'd get any answers. My doctor back home said once the silver clears, I should be fine, but that hasn't happened yet. There has to be more to this.

"There you are!" The doc says as we enter the medical ward. "Come on, I got time at the human hospital to use the scanner... if we don't hurry, we will miss the appointment." She pushes me out the door, and Xander follows.

We pile into a car, and the doctor drives us to the hospital in the city.

"Ohhh, Starbucks! Coffee! coffee! coffee!" I yell when I see the green sign.

"Come on, Doc, pit stop?" Xander asks. The doctor rolls her eyes but agrees.

"If we miss this opportunity, it's on you, young Alpha!" She says, pulling into the drive-through.

"Thanks, Doc!" I call to her from the back seat. She just grumbles and gets us back on track.

We get to the hospital in time, thanks to the schedule getting backed up. We actually still had to wait a half hour to get in.

"What will this tell you?" I ask the doctor as we finally get in.

"Well..." she says. "It's hard to say... it will tell us just about everything in your body... not like magic or anything, and a lot of diagnoses can be missed on this, but it will point out any foreign material inside of you."

"So you think there is something inside me causing this?" I ask

"Did your other doctor even check?" She asks.

"No, he said it would fix itself in time... we don't use human hospitals." I tell her.

"Old farts living in the stone age... he is right if all they did is feed you drugs intravenously it should have worn off years ago. But if they implanted something... well, it could still be poisoning you." She says
