Last Time:
Wait, what? Emily said there weren't any on the ship.. So we had to make a stop to buy some. And there is only one person -who knows of my addiction when I am on my period- that has the power to decide if we make a stop.
Grant Douglas Ward, what the hell are you playing at?
Ward's POV
I was sitting at my desk, in my office when Aaron came in, looking like he was about to tell me that his dog died.
I waited for him to start talking. But no words came.
'Spit it out Aaron' I sign. I say while looking around in the room.
'She is sick.' That caught my attention.
'How bad is it?
'Emily went to do her evening checkup, but Skye was semi-conscious and covered in sweat. None of the doctors knows what it is. Till she started throwing up blood..'
'What?' I ask shocked.
'They think she is poisoned. They still don't know what kind of poison but they are working on it.'
'Find out by who she is poisoned!' I bark. Who did this is going to pay. I storm out of my office and make my way to the hospital.
Maybe the ship isn't as safe for her as I thought. When she is better we need another place to stay. I walk into the hospital, past the reception straight to Skye's room.
She is lying on the bed. Looking helpless and vulnerable. She is indeed covered in sweat and is thrashing around. I don't know is she is asleep or not.
I make my way to her bed and sit on the edge.
I wipe some hair out of her face. 'Skye?'
'We gave her something to sleep. It's less painful this way.' Emily answers from behind me. I didn't even hear he come in.
'Can you tell who had access to her room?'
'Claudia, Britt, Denise and I are her nurses. But every nurse or doctor can enter this room. The guards will let anyone in who wears scrubs.'
I sign. 'Of course they would..' I hear Emily leave.
I order Aaron to come here, through my comm. He arrives fast because he knows I am not in the mood to wait long.
'Sir?' He asks when he comes in.
'I want you to look at the hidden surveillance camera from the hospital. Come get me when you find something.'
'Yes Sir.' He answers and walks out of the room.
I direct my gaze back to Skye's face. She lies peaceful now, no more trashing around.
First Logan now this.. I am going to fucking kill who is responsible for this! I clench my jaw. She is not save here, maybe she really doesn't belong in my world. But then way do we have such a strong connection?
After about two hours -I think- Skye's eyes finally flutter open. Although she is not fully awake yet.
'Skye? Can you hear me?' I ask gently.
She looks around in the room, till her eyes finally find mine.
'Gra.. Grant?' She stutters. And I know that I wear a shit eating grin at the moment.
'How are you feeling?'
'I ha..ve ha.… had worse.' She smiles slightly as she tries to sit up but hisses in pain.
'Easy Skye.'
'Wha..t hap-happened?' I give her the glass of water that is standing on the bedside table. She takes a few sips from the straw.
'You are poisoned. We don't know what kind or by who, yet.'
'I..I feel weak an...and tired.'
'You should rest. I will take care of you.'
She smiles and closes her eyes again. And I just stare. It's like I am in some kind of trance. She always had that power over me, to make me forget who I really am. Maybe she doesn't know it but she owns my heart, even my soul. She owns my whole body.
I lost track of time. A while later Emily brings me some dinner. I can't even eat. I am restless.
The doctors are busy doing everything they can to try to find out what kind of poison it is. But it is still not enough. If they know what kind of poison we are dealing with, then they can make an antidote. What if we never find an antidote? She will die…
The doctors on this ship are best of the best. If they can't find it, nobody will.
'Sir?' Aaron comes in through my comm.
'Yes?'
'We know who did it.'
'Who?'
'It's better if I meet you in person Sir.'
'Meet me in my office in five.' I order.
'I'll be there.'
With that I turn my gaze back on Skye. 'We got him Skye. I am going to make him pay. And I promise from now on that I am going to make sure you are save Skye.' I say and kiss her forehead, stand up and walk to my office.
As I walk in, Aaron is already there. He knows that now is not the time for bullshit so he starts talking immediately.
'She was poisoned through a B&J ice cream.' What? I know she loves those, and certainly when she is on her period, but who else knows that?
*Flashback*
As I walk by Skye's dorm I hear moaning. I stop and knock on the door. 'Skye, you okay in there?' I ask.
When she doesn't answer, I enter her dorm. She is lying on her bed. Clutching her stomach. Her brows are forming a frown. 'Are you alright?' I ask again.
Her eyes snap up. Surprise writing across her face. 'Ward? What are you doing here?'
'I heard you moaning and thought that something is wrong.'
'Well you are right.'
That when it hits me, she is probably on her period.. 'Are you having womanly problems?'
'It's called a period Ward, you can say it.' She snaps. Someone is having mood swings..
'Can I do something for you?'
'No than- actually there is something you could do. Bring me some B&J's.' I smile.
'I will look for them in the kitchen.' I say as I walk out of the room.
*End of flashback*
I smile at the memory. It was before we started dating.
'Who is it?' I ask as I look at him expectantly.
Skye's POV
All I feel is pain and the heat. I hear sounds around me. Voices. Grant. He is here.
'We got him Skye.'
I can't open my mouth, I can't even tell him that I need him.
'I am going to make him pay. And I promise from now on that I am going to make sure you are save Skye.' He goes on.
And then I feel his lips on my forehead. They are cold against my skin. They feel like heaven. It's the first time in 5 months that he has touched me in this kind of way. And he thinks I am not even conscious.
So who is it? I thought about it for a long time and I decided to let you guys decide who the person is that poisoned Skye!
A Britt
B Claudia
C A person that has yet to make an appearance
D We still want it to be a surprise
