Chapter 9

Fever

As morning came, I felt more tired than ever. I opened my eyes to find the sky cloudy, as usual. As I sat straight up, my head started to feel extremely dizzy. I tried to put my hand on my forehead to stop the spinning but I fell back onto the hard ground. I closed my eyes and put my hand back on my side but I felt lifeless. Frederic came beside me and looked at me worried. I tried to open my eyes but it took most of my strength. "Are you alright?" He asked as he put his hand to my forehead. His cold hand felt extremely good on my burning skin. What was happening to me?

I tried to respond but I couldn't find my voice. It felt as if I was drained of everything. My voice, my strength, my senses; everything was gone. I tried to move but nothing would respond. "This is not good… Juliette, where is the mobile I gave you?" He asked. I remember putting the phone in my bag before going to bed last night. I couldn't even lift my arm up so; I did the only thing I could do at this time. I turned my head towards the bag on my right and opened my eyes slightly. My vision was dangerously blurry.

"In your bag?" He asked. I tried to find my voice and I was able to say yes very sheepishly. He got up and looked in all the front pockets until he found it and took it out. He started pushing the number to the other mobile and I could faintly hear my surroundings. I was just so tired that nothing would function anymore. I did my best to make out what was going on and I could hear an angelic voice say my name. That was Edward.

"No. It is Frederic. May I speak to Carlisle for a moment?" Frederic asked.

"Did something happen?" Edward asked.

"It is quite urgent that I speak with Carlisle at this moment." Frederic sounded in a hurry. What was wrong with me?

I could hear Edward passing the phone to Carlisle. "What seems to be the problem?" Carlisle asked.

"Juliette has a very high fever and she doesn't seem to be responding to anything. I believe it is related to the magic running inside her. What do you recommend?" Frederic asked.

"Try giving her some remedies. Maybe it'll cool the fever down a little. But I can't assure you that it will go down completely." Carlisle said.

"Then I shall take her to the Elves. Maybe they can stop her fever." I heard Frederic say. It was a good idea.

"That would be too dangerous! If she moves, it might bring her fever even higher!" I heard Carlisle say in panic.

"I have no choice Carlisle! There are Storks on our trail right now! If we stay here, she will be too vulnerable and I cannot protect her like this. It would be better if I carry her to the Elves." Frederic persuaded. What were these "Storks"?

It took a little while for Carlisle to respond but I could hear him sigh in the mobile. "Alright… But don't try to run. The cold wind isn't good for her. Be very careful." I let out a small breath and Frederic looked at me. I closed my eyes and tried not to think of my horrible headache right now.

"Do not worry. I will." Is it just me, or does Frederic never use shorter words? He closed the mobile and started packing some things in my backpack. He put his hands behind my back after he was done putting things in my bag and started putting something around me. I was guessing that it was a blanket. It was warm but my body was already boiling. "Do not worry Jules. This is only precautions." He said as he started to put me on his back and tied something around my waist so fast that I couldn't comprehend anything. My mind was getting weaker by the second and I hoped that it would end soon.

He put something over my back again and on my head. I started to feel like I was in a sauna. It was so hot in here that it was incredible! He made me put my arms around his neck and he tied something soft around my wrists. It didn't hurt but I couldn't move. Suddenly, he put a blanket over my head and all I could see was darkness under the blanket. He put both bags in his hands and was ready to go. "Do not worry Juliette. You will feel better soon." was all I could hear before everything went black. I fell into a deep sleep and dreamt of the dark place in Vancouver… Why wouldn't this nightmare ever end?

So, what did you think of this short chapter? REVIEW!!!
