it fucking hurts...

I grabbed my temples with one hand and started massaging it. This has got to be the third day my head feels like it want to crack open.

I glanced at the clock above the board and counted down the seconds before the bell rang.

5, 4, 3, 2... Finally...

I quickly grabbed my things and proceeded to the only exit of the room. I faintly heard Liz shouting for me and Professor Stein giving some final instructions, maybe some sort of homework. But I didn't care, I needed to get out of there.

My head's pounding and I've been suffering this unbearable pain after my 18th birthday which was just 3 days ago, I think. The only person who knows about this is our school nurse, Nygus and that's where I'm heading now. She gave me some pills to relieve me of the pain but since I'm not really a normal human being, I needed to take more and because of that I've completely ran out of supply.

I knocked on the infirmary's door while I continued massaging my head. Ugh, I think I'm going to pass out.

I grabbed my head with both hands and started pulling fistfuls of hairs.

"Nigus..." I managed to call out before I sunk on my knees while I desperately nurse my head. Thankfully the infirmary was on an isolated corridor so that patients would not get disturbed by the rowdy students of the academy.

Finally I heard the click of the door and noticed it swinging open. I was still on the floor when Nygus graced me with her presence.

"KID!"

I heard her shout before I felt her arms grabbing me and helping me up.

"It fucking hurts..." I mumbled helplessly as she sat me down on one of the beds.

I immediately sunk down as I continued pulling my hair to somehow free myself from the pain.

"Make it stop, PLEASE." I pleaded as Nygus rummage through the medicine cabinet and finally grabbing a small vial and a syringe.

I didn't manage to ask her what medicine was that for because my vision finally went black as the slight stinging cold pain of the syringe pierced me.

I heard that familiar voice calling me. It wasn't cheery like most of the time. Today it was sad and full of worry.

"Kid, Kiddo..." it kept repeating and after sometime I finally managed to crack my eyes open.

"Hey," I managed to say. I probably passed out for quite a time cause my mouth felt dry.

Father's mask loomed over me, it was comical to look at and I wanted to laugh but it got stuck in my throat and what came out was a raspy cough.

"Kiddo, why didn't you tell me?" came my father's voice, he was about to remove his mask but I stopped him.

"Don't," I started as I placed my hand over his, I saw a flash of disappointment from his eyes that were peering through the holes. I managed a sheepish smile before continuing, I didn't want to see him all worried about me.

"I didn't want to worry you, father... and, and I thought it would pass." I explained and my father nodded in understanding.

"I'm your father, Kiddo, as you said. I'm supposed to worry about you, heck that's one of the duties of being a father." I could hear the smile in his lips but at the same time, I can see the sadness in his eyes.

"Lord Death," I heard Nygus spoke and both of us turned to her. "there's an emergency in the Death Room."

She didn't elaborate much but I heard my father sigh and feel him stiffen. "I'm sorry, Kiddo." he said as he got up and proceeded on ruffling my hair like he did when I was younger.

"I'll be fine, father. Go save the world or something." I smiled fondly as I playfully shooed him.

"Did you tell my classmates?" I asked Nygus after father left through the mirror. I managed to sit down and was now swinging my feet to the ground.

"If by classmates you mean your great, noisy circle of friends, then yes." she answered as she helped me up. I sighed, I didn't want to them worry, especially Liz and Patti. I felt the familiar throbbing at the back of my head and I shot my hand up to my temples.

"They're outside waiting," Nygus continued but there was something in her eyes, amusement?

"Ugh, you shouldn't have told them!" I whined as I slipped on my shoes. I let out another frustrated sigh as Nygus handed me a box of medicine.

"Just messing with you, Kid." she laughed a little and I scowled at her for finding amusement to my torment. "Take this and take three every five hours, got it?" I rolled my eyes as she was still smirking at me. I took the box and thank her before turning towards the exit.

Before I closed the door I heard Nygus call for me. I turned.

"I wish you wouldn't be back."

There was worry in her voice but I dismissed it and chuckled in return. "Oh, how I wish too."
