The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

"W-wake her up," I beg her brother. "She... I don't know how many of those pills she took, but wake her up please."

Halee

My brother swallows before checking how much we're originally in the container and then checking how much are missing, "She took four. I...I don't know how I'm going to wake her up. It's nearly impossible. She has to wake up on her own."

Lucian

I swallow and run a hand through my hair, "T-then how long will she be out? Should I take her to a hospital?"

Halee

He shrugs, "Around a day or two. If she's not up by then...take her to a hospital."

Lucian

I study him before looking over Halee. Shaking my head, I walk downstairs and try to focus on Blithe.

Halee

I stir and Renn sits beside me, "Wake up, Hales."

My eyes shoot open, bright red, and he jumps back against the wall, "Halee?"

I sit up and my lips turn a red as well. He swallows, trying to make his way to the door. I use my super speed to slam it shut before jumping out the window and running to the lake.

Lucian

The door slams shut upstairs and I catch sight of Halee running to the lake outside of the window. Confused, I hesitate before following her.

Halee

I drop behind a rock at the shore and bury my face in my hands, my fangs out.

Lucian

She disappears and I look around, crossing my arms again, "Halee?"

I wasn't seeing things. Not again. Not this time. I couldn't have gone back to that...

Halee

I see Luce and peek out from the rock, keeping my distance.

Lucian

I catch sight of her, but something within tells me not to move, "Halee? W-what are you doing?"

Halee

I swallow, my thirst growing, "D-Dont come closer."

Lucian

I study her, swallowing again, but take a step forward anyway.

Halee

I look up, "Luce, stop."

Lucian

I shake my head, "You won't hurt me, Halee. I know you."
