Chapter 7: Troubles At The Hospital
"He's not breathing!" cried the ER doctor as Heero flatlined. They got out the paddles, and readied them. "Charging 200," said the doctor. Heero's lifeless body jumped as they charged the electricity into him, hoping to revive him. There was no apparent effect. "Charge to 250," the doctor commanded to the nurse. Again, they charged his body with electricity, making it jump. "Damnit! Charging 300!" he said as he prepared to shock Heero's lifeless body. This time it actually worked; it brought him into consciousness. Heero looked around, very aware of what was happening. "You have been shot. Do you feel any pain?" Heero shook his head; the morphine was working well. "Can you talk?" the doctor asked. "Hai..." he managed to get out, his voice not working with him right now. "Do you know your name?" "Heero Yuy." "Ok this man is gonna be fine..." the doctor said, handing a chart to a nurse. "Let that girl visit him now I gotta go..." said the doctor as he left.
"You may see him now," said the nurse to Relena in the waiting room. "Is he ok??" asked Relena, her voice full of worry. "Yes. We've stabilized him and stopped the bleeding. He's awake now." The nurse went down a corridor. Relena hurried into Heero's room.
He was standing, looking out the window even though he had just been shot. The full moon was hidden by dark, ominous looking clouds. "Heero...what happened....?" asked
Relena, remaining by the door. Heero didn't make eye contact with her, instead he remained looking out the window. "...I ...should've told you when I first found out, Relena...." he turned to face her. He was wearing one of those ridiculous hospital gowns, the IVs still attached to him. "...When I was attacked...in the forest that one night...The moon was full. A...creature, just like the one you saw...tonight..attacked me..and he has changed me into what he is...a...werewolf..." Heero had almost whispered the last part. "Oh Heero!" cried Relena, hugging him tightly. "Is that true? Is that really what I saw?" she said. "Hai...If you don't believ--" he was quieted by Relena.
"But I do believe you, Heero. I do believe. I know that you'd never lie to me," she said, still hugging him. He pulled her off of him, and looked her in the eye, completely confused. "...And...you're accepting this?...After when I tried to..." She sat on the hospital bed, "...I suppose so..." Relena sat, thinking. Heero suddenly shuddered. 'Oh no...' "Get Out. Now." he said to Relena, for he could feel the change coming again. He looked out the window; the clouds were parting, exposing the full moon.
"Heero? What is it?" she said, standing. Heero looked back at her, and growled. "Just do as I tell you and GET OUT!" he yelled. Relena stepped back. "The change is coming, Relena, and if I change, I'll kill you!" he said, putting his arms on her shoulders. Her eyes widened...all she could do is stare. "What?" he said, and then Heero turned to see what she was staring at.
Leaning against the hospital window, which was now halfway open, was Raven, nearly transformed. "I told you...to kill her," he said, managing to keep his lips this long into the change. Heero stepped in front of Relena. "She accepts me, Raven. Both sides." Raven snorted, and fought for his lips. "Do you really think she'll accept you, Heero? Well too bad, 'cause now I'm gonna do the job for you!" 'C'mon! Change!' Heero thought, eyeing him. "Not while I'm alive." He felt the change coming. Already his body was covered in fur, and he was beginning to grow his muzzle filled with fangs. He dropped to his knees as they reversed once more.
"That can be arranged," Raven completed the transition, and he lunged at them. Heero caught Raven in mid- lunge, and he took him crashing through the window. "Heero!!!!!!" Relena cried, dashing to the window. As she looked out, she couldn't see them anywhere. "Nooo..." she cried, sitting on his bed again. A nurse rushed in, looking around. "Where's the patient?"
"He's not breathing!" cried the ER doctor as Heero flatlined. They got out the paddles, and readied them. "Charging 200," said the doctor. Heero's lifeless body jumped as they charged the electricity into him, hoping to revive him. There was no apparent effect. "Charge to 250," the doctor commanded to the nurse.
