On the day of volunteer orientation I walked in to the Guseman room and sat down at the head of the second table. We talked and got through all of the topics relatively quickly. Joy took us on the tour. Back in the Guseman room I made my skin more like that of a human so that they could do the PPD test. Ginny was scared so Joy and I were talking to her while it was being done. I also talked Shannon through hers. I let them do the test on me last and looked at Laura while she did it talking to her the whole time.
The Saturday after orientation was my graduation party. I was up already, because we don't sleep, so I got dressed and was out in the living room when grandma got up. "Well you're up early." I rolled my eyes. We got to the party and I met up with one of my close friends TJ Braddock. Soon we started a water balloon fight. The family and friends divided into two teams and we began. My team ended up winning and both teams ended up soaking wet.
I was volunteering on Tuesdays with Ginny Phillips and Shannon Morgan. I went in on the first Tuesday and sat talking to Joy's new assistant Karina until Shannon arrived. It turned out that Karina was a big fan of 'Twilight' and Jasper was her favorite character. "You know you kind of look like Jasper." Karina said and I giggled. "Well I actually have a twin brother named Jasper. Jasper Jackson Whitlock." Karina looked at me wide eyed and open mouthed. "Karina stop gaping like that. You look like a fish." Joy had just walked in and saw Karina staring. Shannon walked in and we headed out.
Down on third Shannon looked at me sideways. "What was she staring at you like that for?" I laughed and said "Well I told her about my twin brother Jasper Jackson Whitlock." Shannon just stared at me like I had grown another head. I just laughed at the expression and continued on. "Wow, you really have a twin brother?" She ask looking at me. I nodded. "Yes, but I haven't seen him since we were little." I sighed, my right hand automatically straying to my locket, and we continued walking. We began by taking the book cart around to the different patients. None of the patients wanted reading material so we went up to Mary Lee Headly's office to help her.
We were helping to put papers in the files. After we were finished filing we walked down to materials. I took the stairs that led down to the basement. Of course going these stairs meant going passed the morgue. Shannon walked closer to me as we walked passed. "Shannon nothing is going to come out of there and get you. Everything in there is dead." She looked scared but did not say anything.
After we were done in materials we went to lunch. I didn't eat because I had already eaten. I had hunted the night before so my eyes were a perfect gold. I walked into the Cafeteria to help. I was alone because Ginny wasn't going to be there that day. It was a boring day. Just like any other. At the end of the day I walked up and signed out. I was going to leave go back up to my aunt's office and wait until she got off. I sighed and walked up stairs ready for this day to be over.
The weeks went very slowly. They dragged on and on. One week fading into the next. But soon we only had two weeks left of volunteering. This was the week that things started to get weird. This is the week that everything was turned upside down.
It was the second to last week of volunteering. Ginny and I were sitting at our table in the cafeteria. I was holding a bottle of what everyone else thought was Mountain Dew Voltage. It was actually blood made to look like pop. Shannon had just left and she wasn't happy to go. "Well we'd better get in there." Ginny said seeing my reluctance to move. I sighed and got up pushing my chair in as I went. "I don't think that new dietitian likes me. She is always telling me 'you can't do this, you can't do that'" I told Ginny as we walked into the kitchen. We helped deliver trays to the patents and take the breakfast orders. Ginny and I were washing dishes when I looked at my cellphone clock. "Its time to get going." I said taking off my gloves and cap. I fixed my waist-length honey blond braid while I waited for Ginny.
