I own nothing but Natalia.


Chapter 3

When we finally managed to tear ourselves away from each other, Demetri went to sample the wildlife, and I went to eat one of the meals Bella made for me. I even went through the suitcase to see what it was that Alice packed us. Turns out it was two plane tickets back to the states.

Why would need them? And more importantly, why were they dated for tomorrow? We had only been here for 2 days already, well actually it's tomorrow, the sun just wasn't up yet.

I looked through the kitchen window as the first ray of sunlight peaked over the horizon. I heard the door open and close. I smiled at my dark-haired angel, but his eyes were downcast and his smile was half-hearted. "What's wrong?" I asked going up to him and abandoning my meal.

"The-"

That was as far as he got because I abruptly felt a sharp pain in my stomach and ran to the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I kneeled over the toilet as my meal came back up.

"Natalia! What's wrong?" Demetri's voice was frantic and worried.

"I don't know! Is it possible for a vampire to get sick?" I called weakly, but I knew he could hear me.

There was no answer.

I flushed the toilet, and rinsed my mouth out in the sink, grimacing at the awful taste in my mouth and throat. When I looked in the mirror, I froze. I touched my face in disbelief and Demetri opened the door, only to freeze in place as he caught my reflection in the mirror as well.

"What, how?" he whispered.

"I don't know either." I said distantly as we were pondering over my now-impossibly enough-flushed face.
