Eva is going to have a sick day. No biggie... I haven't said this in a while. I don't own Generator Rex! Enjoy!
Chapter 10
"Achoo, achoo, ehCHOO!" I sneezed as I lay in my bed. Holiday took the termometer out of my mouth and looked at it.
"105.8F. It's official. You are running a fever."
"*COUGH COUGH sniff* Ugh, you think?"
"You trained far too much yesterday. What were you thinking?" She gave me a concerned look.
"I wanted to learn how to protect myself in battle, Mom, geez." I shivered violently.
"You need something to bring down that fever..." She said to herself.
"I would love a popsicle. My mom gave those to me when my temperature got pretty high."
"I don't think that will work in this case. I'll get some cough medicine for now." With that she left our room. After that Rex and Noah came in.
"Hey Eva! What are y-whoa." Rex looked at my miserable state. He had gotten out in the middle of the night to do something stupid or something like that.
"You better not say nothing." I glared at the both of them.
"What happened to you?" Noah asked in shock. I sat up.
"I pushed myself a bit too far while training yesterday. Now I feel like a wet noodle."
"You look really weak, too." Noah said under him breath as he went over to sit on Rex's bed. Rex went over to the TV and turned it on.
"What did you just say? I didn't quite catch that."
"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all." He said a bit too fast.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
After a few moments of watching TV, Rex said something outta the blue.
"I smell nachos."
Noah and I both looked at him.
"What? I do."
"Okay..." We said in unison.
"...Aw man I totally forgot today was nacho day in the cafateria! I'm going to go get some!" He zoomed out the door. Jesus...
"Guess I'd better go after him. He would kill for some nachos." Noah said.
"Hey, Noah! Please get me some!" He nodded and walked after Rex. Holiday came back in and gave me something that tasted like something curled up and died in it.
"Blagh! What the heck was that?" I demanded.
"Something to keep you temperature down and to soothe your coughing. Let me know if you need anything else." She stood up and walked out of the room. I sat there for a minute. Soon enough I was pretty still-crazy. Well, I might as well do something. I practiced singing the minor scale. My voice sounded a bit dry...I'll get used to it. I chopped off a note as I heard the door silently slide open.
"Yeah, Six?"
"I heard you weren't feeling well."
"I'm sure it'll pass."
He simply nodded and turn to walk out. Along the way, he said, "I see you enjoy singing."
...D*mn it.
I coughed harder than before and this time blood flew out mouth and splattered on to my hand. Oh wonderful. Just what I needed. I wiped my hands on a Kleenex and tossed it in the garbage...that was already overflowing with used tissues. I dumped it's contents into an old Walmart bag and headed for the garbage chute.
...
The coughing got much, much worse. It was nearly impossible to keep my hands clean of my own blood. I got pretty light-headed if I laid down so I just sat up. I used up another box of tissues. Again.
I don't think this was caused by pushing myself too hard.
I felt a sharp pain in my head. Only one side of my head hurt. My vision blurred and was no longer clear. It turned a tinted red. I vaguely heard someone come in but the pounding...
I fell to my knees. I shut my eyes tightly and prayed that I would be okay. Even my eyes hurt. My cheek met the cold floor. I shivered violently. I felt strong arms lift me up. That feeling was strangly familiar...
The air whipped around me. I barely saw people flash by. I got a good look at on person's face who was keeping up with the person carrying me. I could make out tanned skin and spiky hair...Rex...
"Eva? Eva, can you hear me?" I heard it, yet I didn't. All I could feel in the outside world was a small trail of blood going down my face. I could feel myself slipping away...
I could see three faces above me. I was set on something hard and flat. I already knew one was Rex but I couldn't quite figure out who the other two were. I could see one wearing black shades and the other with their hair in a bun.
Alas, I relented and let myself be swept away in a terrifying flood of darkness.
Whoa...I seriously got a choking feeling in my chest typing this. I'm not kidding either! Thank you Numbah 175 for being my support. Hope you liked this one chap! Hey I got a question. What do you all want to happen when she wakes up? Or what do you all want to happen in her dream? Plz review!
