Chapter 20:

-Time's running out for Michael-

Caleb was about some in the lead and had time to change back in quite and brought Michael in his bedroom. for a few seconds, he let him alone to put on a few shorts and a T-shirt shortly, however he went so fast he was able to go back again to Michael with a basin with warm water and a cloth. Michael was blood-over flown and now still lost blood through these sores. Some minutes later, the others also stormed through the door and looked aghast at Michael's motionless body through the room door. Selene and Kathleen went at his side and took on to clean his sores. Totally distressed, Alex stood beside Erika, hadn't yet comprehended what happened. Before a few days, he had pierced him, today he became full-pumped by bullets and nevertheless he got up again, but these sores didn't want to heal. What the hell was wrong here! Selene didn't think long and ordered Caleb to bring five blood preserves.He didn't make long and went into the kitchen, got the preserves from the chamber out of another refrigerator and entered the room and gave her the blood preservesNow, she needed only fine hoses and needles in order to execute a transfusion... like she had done it with Viktor, only that she led the blood directly into his main-veins in order to slow down his blood loss. It lasted hours, until Michael started to breathe again regularly and the bleedings had stopped, however, he suffered under a strange fever. This blood however didn't help him on that occasion. He had to defeat it from own strength. The sun began to rise and was in time to rest for the vampires...particularly Kathleen. Once again, she saw Michael in a horrible state. The last time she thought to lose him... at this, what he had become and he almost had killed her, as well as Selene. She thought this time to lose him to the worst...at the certain death even if seemed impossible for her, after all what she had seen and had experienced. Selene sent her to bed, however, granted Alex another couple of minutes to stay with him. Together, they sat down beside Michael on the bed edges.

"What's wrong with him? Why... he's suddenly so... sick? I don't want that he dies!" he knew that he was growing up and it doesn't look good for itself, if he cried, but he never had a father and now, as he had found him, he dies off him. Selene took him into her arms and kissed him on the forehead. Even she was desperate.

"I don't know... I really don't know, the last time as I saw him like this, he was to be changed, and however this situation here is different. He should have been regenerated himself by now, however, the sores are still visible. Who was this guy, who inflicted this?"

"I couldn't see his face, but he was a vampire... this I could smell it, however, he was terribly strong and didn't carry any weapon with itself. Maybe dad can help us... if he... awakens again."

And this lasted weeks until this happened. Until the fever lowered itself and the deep sores healed, it passed more than a week, however he was still in a kind of coma. Selene replaced regularly the blood preserves in order to hope that this would stabilize his strengths again and promoted the awakening. But it was useless. As Alex came into the room, as usual, in order to see, whether something had changed, Selene asked him for a strange favor.She wanted to take some blood from him and infects it Michael, since she could determine approximately the same genes and abilities in Alex.

"I do everything to help my dad and you think that this will help?"

"I hope it." she got a syringe forth and stung in Alex's upper arm vein and took him a full syringe blood. Alex hated to be stung and therefore he did also a grimace, which made Selene laugh. "It astonishes me that you're still alive is by those shots, just like you react with a needle."

"Sorry."

„Now we are waiting." Selene now stung in Michael's vein and infected the blood. it spread out quickly in the bloodstreams and twitches drove through his body, however, still no sign of an awakening.
