Chapter 3: Too late?
Henry POV
Nelly ran into my room. She was crying and she said something about Vlad. All I could think was…'It's too late! We're too late! The disease was farther along than we thought! I've lost my best friend.' I ran into Vlad's room and to my relief he was breathing and his eyes were open. They had a strange and wild look. "Vlad," I whispered. It appeared he almost smiled. If he could I'm sure he would have.
"Nelly how is my nephew?" Otis said walking in the door. He was wearing that stupid top-hat. Man I hate that thing. I glanced down at Vlad. He was looking back at me. All of a sudden I had an urge to start sobbing, right there in front of God and everybody. But I held the tears back. 'I have to be strong for Vlad' I thought.
Vlad POV
I look up at my family. I see my wonderful aunt and my awesome uncle, but the very first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Henry. I decided to read everyone's mind. Maybe I can find out what's going on. 'I wish he wasn't sick. I can't have my Vladimir die! I promised his parents I'd take care of him and now look what's happened.' Nelly was thinking. I tried to reach out and grab her hand but it wouldn't move. Otis was next. 'Vlad, my dear nephew I WILL keep you alive. I swear it.' Keep me alive? I-I'm dying?
'Vlad, if you're listening to my thoughts right now, I'm going to make you better.' it was Henry's thoughts. "Otis, you can see for yourself that he is doing great." Nelly beamed. She looked like a parent who just found out her child got straight A's. I wanted to smile but still, my muscles wouldn't work.
Otis POV
Vladimir was doing extremely well. I was happy that he was thriving at this rate. "Nelly may I speak with you outside?" I asked. She looked longingly at Vladimir. "Alright…Henry, keep an eye on my…son." Her voice broke on the last word as she followed me outside.
"You wanted to talk to me?" she murmured. "Is it serious?" Before I could answer there was a blood-curdling scream from Vladimir's room. It was Henry.
Henry POV
I glanced down at Vlad just out of curiosity. He looked at me and blinked once. Then he lurched forward. His eyes rolled back into his head so all you could see is the whites. He was shaking violently. All I could do was scream. Nelly and Otis ran it seconds later. When they looked at Vlad Nelly joined me in screaming. Otis grabbed Vlad off the bed and took him into the kitchen. He laid him down on the table and pulled out a bag full of medical supplies that I was sure could only be used on vampires. He pulled out a bottle of a yellowish liquid and a syringe. He stuck the needle full of the nasty yellow liquid down into Vlad's shoulder.
Nelly POV
When I saw what Otis was doing to Vlad I jumped up and ran towards him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO VLAD!" I screamed. "Nelly! Calm down!" Otis said. "It's a simple sedative. It had to be strong enough to sedate a vampire otherwise it wouldn't do any good."
Vlad laid there twitching…I wanted to throw up. He lay there and I can't do anything to help him. I'm useless to a vampire child, but I needed to be there. I promised.
Vlad POV
I didn't know what was happening. Everything was fine until I felt…odd. Then it hit. Pain like liquid fire, it was burning through my veins. Then, the fire cooled, I was cold and tired. My eyes finally closed but my ears didn't stop. Henry and Nelly were sobbing. I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up again. They deserved better. "Vlad, don't ever say…well think…that." Otis whispered. Crap I forgot, vampire…he can read my mind. "Yes, I can." He laughed. STOP THAT WOULD YOU! He chuckled again. Roar. I'm a Taco.
Otis POV
Roar I'm a Taco? What a come-back. I could do so much better. Vladimir glared at me darkly and I just laughed.
