Other words are said I’m sure. I can’t make them all out. But I do make out one.
Blood.
Yes, I think.Smooth, rich blood does sound delicious.
Just hold on,someone screams – in my head, in the air, in my bones. It echoes as pain prickles specifically in my scalp and I know I had been so close to that delicious blood but now I’m not. My fangs ache in my mouth and I’m hungry.
Please, I beg. I don’t typically beg. But sometimes that’s all you’re able to do and I can tell I’m far too weak right now.
Shhh. It’ll be alright.
Lies.
That’s whatshehad said. She always said it before he came in.
Everything aches now. I can feel it. Wounds that should have already been healed a long time ago rage. Burning and burning and burning.
Why the fuck is she burning up?
Because the Sun Devil said he would burn me for all eternity.
You’ll be fine Mavyn. Just hold on.
They sound like they care. Why do they care? I can’t remember right now. Burning and burning and burning. Ms. Elaycia never let me burn. Where did she go?
It hurts.
It always hurts.
. . .
Voices are muddled together, words being mixed and all I can taste is rage. Why does it feel like those videos of the North Sea?
Either my brain or my body or my conscious registers I’m awake now and pain sparks along certain areas of my face. They’re accompanied by the worst headache I’ve ever had. I can feel my heart pounding against my skull.
AND SHE IS A STUDENT SO SHE SHOULD BE JUST AS PROTECTED!
Ms. Waterstone I under –
No you fucking don’t you cock sucking fuck!
Jullia Waterstone! He is still –
NO! I don’t give a flying fuck who or what he is. Mavyn has been nothing but polite to everyone, Hanna. She has shown nothing but control. And all she gets for it is trying to be killed!
Ah, yes. I had been burned by the sun. Fucking curse.
She spoke!Jullia, that must have been Jullia who squealed. Her voices grows a bit louder as she rushes out a bunch of other words. I still have yet to open my eyes but already I can feel my symptoms subsiding. I hadn’t been exposed for too long.
“At least we can deduce that she is, in fact, a vampire,” a lazy voice drawls.
“You piece of shit, rich ass, lazy mother – “
“JULLIA!” Hanna interrupts. I can tell that’s Hanna now. “Calm down right the fuck now!”
I finally crack my eyes open and see nothing. It takes me a couple times to blink and soon stars start to dance but light floods with them. Lifting my hand I use my index finger and thumb to rub my eyes. The limb feels heavy, but at least I can do that. Even if it makes the headache worse.
“Mavyn!” Jullia rushes out. “How are you? Are you okay? I mean I know of course you’re not okay, but you’re alive at least. Are you still in a lot of pain? The healers have tried giving you some pain relievers but they don’t always work the best.”
