For Some reason, this is the only story FanFiction will let me update so I decided to go ahead with it. Sorry for those people wanting any of the other stories but this is all I can do right now.
Silver opened his eyes slightly but closed them immediately, he had a splitting headache. Sighing he tried again with little success. I've never had a headache this bad he thought bitterly. Giving up, he fell back asleep not caring anymore.
~Downstairs~
Blaze popped her neck and glanced at the clock, now it was 3 pm and Silver still wasn't up. Worry began to form in the pit of her stomach so she headed up to his room. He would never sleep this late she thought, this is weird.
Reaching the top of the stairs she paused momentarily to peek in on Tails who was asleep on his desk again. She shook her head with a small smile and shook him lightly, "C'mon Tails, back into bed we go." She guided the half asleep kitsune to his bed and tucked him in. Such a trooper. Making sure he was secure, Blaze crossed the hall to Silver's room.
Upon entering, she noticed the unusual smell to the air; it smelled like inflamation of skin. As she approached Silver, the smell became stronger. Shaking it off she lightly nudged him, "Silver?" No response. Blaze rolled her eyes and nudged harder.
Silver moaned and blearily opened his eyes, seeing a dark figure in front of him. "Who..." he questioned lightly. Then he saw the golden eyes looking at him and guessed, "Blaze...?"
Blaze was shocked to see almost no recognition in Silver's eyes as to who she was at first. Then he said her name and she smiled slightly, "Hey sleepy head," she said playfully, "did you know it's almost 4 in the afternoon?" He shook his head but winced when he did so. Blaze noticed, "What's wrong?"
He shrugged weakly and said, "I have no idea but I feel terrible."
She didn't need him to say it twice, his eyes showed it. "Well I can't try and help if I don't know what's wrong," she said in a more serious manner. Hedgehog's were known for their stong immune systems and Silver had never gotten sick in his life. The whole ordeal was just odd. She sighed impatiently, "Tell me how you feel."
"My head feels like its on fire, my neck hurts a lot, I have pain all over, I can't really move and I have no idea what day it is..." he said tiredly.
Blaze nodded and thought, it wasn't anything that came to mind immediately. She had heard some of the symptoms but no illness came to mind. Then she about dead-panned, there was a laptop right next to her. Casting her gaze to it, she began searching for those symptoms. Then she tried to think about things Silver might've done on their camping trip. One thing came to mind: the mosquito.
Then she had it, West Nile Virus. She bit her lip and typed it into Google. There was almost two million entries on the virus but she aimed for the second one; , she had heard once before they were very reliable. Upon scrolling down, she saw the minor infections but there were only a select few of the symptoms Silver had spoke of. Scrolling down a little more she found her answer, right under serious infections.
She held her breath and read futher, there were the things Silver was feeling. Now she had to call a doctor.
It's short but something, sorry for the near year delay! Kinda forgot about this story for awhile.
