Life is a game. Choose your pawns right, and maybe just maybe you'll end up being okay. Hell, maybe you'll end up happy. Choose the wrong path and it will be an endless torture of what ifs and have been.
Living wasn't always easy for a certain Arizona Robbins. The last century of her existence was nothing but struggles and coping with the fact that this was her life now. No, this wasn't a life of happiness. But one of survival. To her, she was a non-entity. No reason for her to settle anywhere. She couldn't. Until now.
"Dr. Robbins, pleasure to see you this fine sunny day." says a tall handsome man as he approaches cautiously moving her to a secluded area not wanting to upset his maker.
"I don't know how, but I can. I just, I walked out today and I... no signs of vene otrava Mark! Nothing!" Arizona yells.
"Maestru, calm down. We both know what this means. We came here for a reason. We will find her. In time. Please, compose yourself." Mark says.
"Mark, I told you not to call me that here. It's not necessary and it makes me feel old. Ugh." Arizona groans.
"Heh, well boss, after 2 centuries of being with you, I kind of got used to saying it. You weren't as lax as you are now than you were before."
"I know she's near Mark, her scent is intoxicating." Arizona says, unable to control her hunger and lust for her mate, her sufletul pereche.
"Maest-.. Arizona, colti!" (Fangs in Romanian)
Mark whispers loud enough for her to hear as she turns to see why the sudden change in tone.
"Ah! Dr. Robbins and Dr. Sloan! I've found you! Please come! It's your first day here and I think we need to properly introduce you to your fellow Attending's."
States Chief Owen Hunt.
Arizona and Mark nod heads and turn to follow Hunt into a meeting room. As they walk down further, Arizona's nose twitches to the growing scent. It gets so hard to control she had to hold on to Mark for dear life as they entered the room. But then it fades.
"Okay, good to see everyone here. Before we begin the weekly meeting I'd like to introduce you to two of our new attendings. Everybody, this is Dr. Arizona Robbins, PEDS, and Dr. Mark Sloan, Plastics."
As everyone exchanged pleasantries, Arizona couldn't help but notice that as they entered the room, the scent had died down. And eventually faded.
"Oh my god! Arizona Robbins!"
They turned to see a new addition to the group entering the room.
"Teddy? Teds! Holy crap! I haven't seen you in... Heh, forever!" Arizona squeals as she approaches Teddy, pulling into a hug.
"I could smell you from a mile away Altman. Funny, I swear I smelled you when I entered this room." Arizona whispers as she pulls away.
"It's a long stor-.." Teddy, was interrupted by the beeping of all the Doctors' pagers.
And then it was there again. The strong, intense smell only the perfect human could possess. Her perfect human.
"Massive casualties, bridge collapse. We're going to need every doctor on the floor. Make sure Ortho is paged. We're going to need it. Everyone move, move!"
Owen yells as all the Doctors exit the room and rush towards the ER.
Arizona lets everyone run ahead and grabs Mark as they disappear into the hall.
"Markus, something's not right. I can smell her, but not in a good way. "
"Arizona, didn't you say you caught her scent on the way to the room?"
"I did, but she wasn't in there. Just a whiff I guess." Arizona brushes it off and focuses on their new task at hand for the day.
As they made their way to the ER the sound of ambulances, gurneys rolled and people talking simultaneously. The panic in the room could be felt everywhere. Arizona makes her way to a crying child that she could hear outside being brought in by ambulance. Her "senses" were going crazy and all her "powers" were on haywire.
"What do we have here?" Arizona asks as the Paramedic pushes the patient out of the ambulance.
"13 year old Jane Doe with multiple trauma injuries, internal bleeding, vitals 80/50, signs of hypo perfusion. We established CPR and titrate dopamine drip at 5 to 20 ug/kg per minute at 250ml en route."
"Thanks guys. We'll take it from here. I need an OR booked ASAP, we need to catch these bleeders now!" Arizona yells at an ER nurse who was in the process of booking ORs.
Little did Arizona know that the person she had been searching for her whole life, were just about to pass thru those ER doors. Nevertheless Arizona had to do her job before anything. And figured that if she was able to wait this long, she could hold off for another day.
A several hours had passed by and most of the patients brought over were stable and operated on. Arizona had just scrubbed out of her surgery when she felt a someone zoom past by her who had a very distinct scent that she had been chasing all day. But there was something else about her that only her kind could tell. One of them. Intrigued by this new discovery, she turned to look all she saw was a brief figure turning the corner. She decided to follow the person.
"Where is she?! I need to see her now. Is she okay?" Said the woman, tall with light brown hair and navy blue scrubs.
"Calm down Dr. Drakos, you know you're not allowed in the OR. Family or friends. Please, gather yourself." Hunt calmly replied.
"Please, she's my best friend, I need to see her. This is all my fault; I should've never let her go alone." The woman said, holding back tears.
"Look, Drakos, I will let a nurse call you when things are done, she is in good hands. You know this. Altman and Bailey have her. She's good." Hunt replies placing a calming hand on her shoulders and then walks away.
As the so called Dr. Drakos turned to walk the other direction, she had stopped in front of Arizona, both looking deeply into each other's eyes. A silent conversation had crossed between them. And in that moment, both of them knew what this meant. After what seemed like a few minutes, Arizona spoke up.
"Can we talk? I'm Arizona, Dr. Arizo-…" She was cut off before she could finish.
"Arizona Robbins, I know. We missed each other at the meeting this morning, but I already felt your presence in the hospital."
"My presence? What do you mea-..?" Cut off again.
"I mean presence. I know, you know. About you, and Sloan. Hell, even Teddy. It's hard to miss." Danielle jokingly replies.
"Well, Dr. Drakos, you really have to stop cutting me off like that." Arizona stated while offering her out of this world dimpled smile.
"Please, call me Danielle. The cafeteria is nearby, shall we?"
"Please, lead the way Danielle."
As both women walked silently towards the area, they had started conversing using one of their many so called gifts.
"Why do you have her scent on you? And who was the person you needed to see? I can smell her on you and it bothers me and enlightens me at the same time Danielle."
"My friend, you have a very strong aura, I felt you miles away. And I have never felt this in a long time. A LONG TIME. I know you are searching for someone. I assure you I can be of great assistance. As for the person you smell on me, well, that would be my best friend, Callie. Dr. Calliope Torres. Don't tell her I told you. She hates her name."
"Calliope, what a beautiful nam-… oh god, is she okay? I need to see her. I've been longing for her since…"
"Dr. Drakos! It's Callie! She just got out of surgery, and it's not good. I was told by the Chief to inform you when she was put in a room." Their internal conversation was interrupted by a scrub nurse.
"Thank you Cathy." Danielle says as she takes Arizona's arm and drags her towards the elevator.
"Doc, she's in room-.." The elevator doors shut before the nurse could finish her sentence.
"You really do like cutting people off don't you? " Arizona jokes.
"I don't need to hear what room she's in, I can feel her. And so can you. Her energy is low, but enough to feel her."
"I'm going to be totally honest with you and say that it greatly bothers me that you can feel her. She's mine and I want you to know this now before anything happens." Arizona states firmly but calmly.
"I know that, OH great one. " Danielle jokes. "She is all yours, the only reason I can feel her is that cause..."
"You fed on her! How could you!" Arizona's anger rises as she turns to face the vampire, fangs ready to attack, eyes as dark as a winter's night.
"Calm down Arizona, I did no such thing. I would never. I gave her my blood, she needed it. How do you think she was able to survive this ordeal? She would've died. I had to do this, and I feel this is all my fault. I just…."
The elevator doors opened before Danielle could finish her statement. She briskly walked out and towards Callie's room. As she stopped in front of the door, Danielle turned and said to Arizona,
"She's my family; she took care of me when I was on the verge of nothingness. She's the only thing I have. And today she found out just exactly what I am. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't even look at me anymore..."
Arizona looks into Danielle's eyes and can see pure guilt and care for her Calliope. A look that would be mistaken for something more than a friend, yet she can feel the genuine emotions she has for Callie and knows that Danielle is not a threat. More of a sisterly bond has formed between the two.
"Danielle, if she cares as much as you care for her, then she will accept who you, WE, are. Have faith. I've been thru a lot more "coming outs" than you have. You're still young."
Danielle does nothing but open the door and steps in. The beeping and sounds of the oxygen rising and monitors fills the room.
Arizona stepping in to close the door faces Callie and is absolutely smitten by the sight she sees. Even with the tubes and hospital attire, Arizona feels like her heart is beating again. If she had a blood pressure it would be thru the roof. She could feel her limbs aching and her breathing had become heavy.
"Arizona, you have to calm down. I can see your veins popping out of your neck." Danielle states while giggling.
"I'm sorry, I just, she's so perfect. I can't help but be filled with rage as she lies there, knowing something had hurt her and I can do nothing. I want her to know me, acknowledge me, and love me." Arizona recites.
"Huh, that's what it feels to find your soul mate eh? I'm happy for her and for you. She's a tough cookie to crack, but I'm sure if you bat you lashes a bit, she'll be yours in no time" Danielle says as she takes Callie's hand.
"I have to go Cal, I want you to know that I'm deeply, truly sorry for all this. And that I hope you can forgive me. I hope my absence will allow some time for our wounds to heal..."
Danielle kisses Callie's forehead and turns to Arizona.
"What do you mean your absence Danielle? Where are you going?" Arizona asks in confusion.
"Una superioara, there's a battle I must finish; matters I need to attend to. And a soul mate to bring back. This is all my fault and I need to fix this. My maker isn't pleased with my actions and for that, I must be punished. I'll explain in due time. "
"Please, drop the formalities; I'm no superior than you are. Give me your hand, let me feel your past, I want to understand you."
Danielle walks over to Arizona and locks hands, in an instant, Danielle's past took over Arizona's mind and a shockwave between them had pushed them against other ends of the room finishing the process.
"You're my, sange sora?" Both exclaim at the same time. Both shocked at the revelations of them having the same maker, and not knowing of this. As the two stand there a muffled sound comes from the bed as Callie stirs and whispers, "Dani? Is that you? I can't bre-.." Callie tries to mutter but fails and falls back into unconsciousness. By the time Arizona was to answer, she felt a swift breeze blow in the room and Danielle was gone.
"I will explain later Sister. Please, take care of her. And please, do not tell Maestru where I am. I will find her and I will fix all of this." Danielle says telepathically and fades away.

So… this is my first story. This idea has been floating in my head for weeks. It's more of a crossover of GA and Trublood. Let me know if this has potential. Be gentle as I know I need improvements. Trying not to be too redundant. All medical scenarios and information used here are pretty much on the dot. My mistake if there is something that is not right there. I'm a nurse and hopefully I'm not too rusty.
Also at the end of every chapter I shall put in the translations. The language is Romanian, since I wanted to put a vampirish setting.
