DISCOVERIES

Both parents looked at Eve as if they were a deer in the spotlight, or a deer when it saw one of them.

Michael looked at Selene just in time to see her eyes receding to the back of her head and her body starting to fall. He was closest to her, so he caught her just before she fell.

"MOM!" Eve screamed.

Michael carried her to their room and Eve followed, desperate.

"What's happening to her?" She asked her dad.

"Eve, can you get some packs of blood in the fridge, please?"

Eve was going to argue, but she saw the crease in his forehead. He was worried too, so she would leave her questions for another time… for now.

Michael was trying to make Selene come to. But he wasn't getting anywhere. Eve just looked at her mother, laying still in that bed and wanted to cry.

"She won't die, will she?" Eve hated how she sounded small and fragile.

Michael looked from the unconscious woman in the bed and smiled for Eve's sake.

"She won't die, honey. She'll be fine… as soon as she wakes up, we'll explain everything to you, ok?"

He turned back to trying to wake Selene up, but Eve couldn't stand the secrecy, so she just walked aimlessly. Her head was full of everything that could happen and she just wanted to get out, so she did.

She picked up her phone and sent a text to the only person that she could think right now.

EVE: Hey, are you busy?

WILL: For you? Never!

Eve could even hear his sarcastic voice saying that and it comforted her.

EVE: Can we meet?

WILL: Of course? Is something wrong?

EVE: My mother just fainted.

WILL: Come here, I'm home.

He texted her his address.

SCULLY MULDER HOME

She was surprised when she saw a woman open the door. She double looked at the number of the house to make sure she had the right address.

The redhead looked up at her and smiled, she was short, like, almost as short as her, but she had something in her eyes, in her demeanor that made her look much taller. She could see the resemblance, mainly in the eyes.

"I… I'm sorry… is this William Mulder's home? He gave me this address."

"Oh, yes… you must be Eve. Nice to finally meet you, Eve." Said Scully extending her hand to the girl.

Eve shook her hand timidly.

"Nice to meet you, mrs. Mulder…"

"It's Scully… but you can call me Dana if you like. Oh my God, get in, you're freezing!"

"Oh, I'm ok…"

"William will be down in a sec."

As if on cue, William entered the room and Scully looked at him. He looked at the girl and she waved, regretting it the moment her hand left her pocket and returning it there.

"Hi… thanks for having me… I… needed to vent…"

William shrugged as if it was nothing.

"It's ok, what are friends for, right?"

"Yeah… I guess…"

"So… what happened?"

Eve sat at the sofa and covered her face with her hands. William sat by her side.

"I think she's getting worse, Will…" Her voice broke as she said that. William hugged her wanting to take away all the pain he was seeing there.

"Hey… it could be nothing, you know…"

"You don't understand, Will… we… we don't get sick. Like… never… we are immune to all human frailties." Oh shit! She thought. Now she was the one who looked like a deer in the spotlight. "I mean…"

Will waited for her to see what she would say but she was getting desperate and he knew she was about to flee. Will raised his hand.

"You know, I suspected it that first day so I googled it. It only got more and more interesting…"

He saw her shoulders hardening and her posture starting to get defensive. Eve could hear her heart racing.

"Hey…" she felt William's hand over hers. "Your secret is safe with me. Believe me, I know how to keep secrets." He laid his head against the sofa and signed. "I would never betray you…"

The relief was so intense that she jumped on him and kissed him on the lips. He was taken by surprise and she was away from him as soon as she had been on him.

"I'm… sorry… I didn't mean…" But she was interrupted by another kiss, this time, it lingered on her lips and she could feel this electricity between them. He hesitated, as if asking permission and she opened her mouth so they could explore this new first.

Who would've know such a shitty night would have such a wonderful surprise.
