Chapter 8: Possession
Rita was walk in the hospital with Lily in her arms in search for her son's room. It took few half an hours to get to the hospital and when they told her that his room was 24-D, she ran quickly to search for her son. Lily was just naive of the situation as she was just looking around the hospital like deer on headlights. The mother continues to look at each room she comes back. 21-D, 22-D, 23-D...
Rita look in the room of 24-D to see Lincoln watching the recent episode of ARRGH. The mother looks at her son as he had bandages wrapped around his shoulder. She ran to him and hugs him, as for Lincoln her was scared at first before he return the hug.
"Are you okay Lincoln?" Rita whisper as she felt like crying.
"I'm fine mom," Lincoln replied to ensure his mother.
"Are you sure Lincoln? I heard you were-"
"Mom, I'm okay. They already stitch my shoulder."
Rita looks at his injured shoulder as her son had a red line blood stain. Lily was reaching for her brother, which Lincoln gladly grab Lily.
"Hey Lily, how are you doing you little sunshine," Lincoln spoke in a baby voice as he tickled Lily with his baby sister giggling sweetly.
Rita enjoy watching Lincoln being an older brother as the two kids were having fun, despite of what happened to the white-haired boy. Lincoln then begin to play peak-a-boo, which Lily always enjoy as she laugh each time Lincoln did the boo part. Lily looks at her older brother to see the bandages. The little baby tried to reach for it, but Rita grabbed her arm.
"No Lily, Lincoln is hurt from there," spoke Rita as the baby look at her mother confused and then look at Lincoln.
"It's okay Lily. I'm alright as of now." Lincoln said as he touches his covered wound.
Lincoln then felt something weird on his wound as he look at it. It felt like it was already closed, but he wasn't sure if it was. He then faces Lily with a smile.
"See Lily, I'm fine."
Later on in the hospital, his sisters came back from school and his father came back from work to visit Lincoln. They were shock to how Lincoln was send to the hospital again. They heard a bully was going to hurt Lincoln with a weapon, but Lincoln defend himself. Police said that the bully by the named of Chas Matt used a knife to stab him, but Lincoln manages to stop him. The police didn't' tell him how the bully was stopped or what happened to the bully, but all they want to know is how Lincoln was doing.
The nine sisters and Lynn Sr. came in the room with flowers and balloons as they saw Rita sitting next to Lincoln and Lily was asleep beside the awaken Lincoln.
"Hi guys, how are you doing?" Lincoln simply asked.
"We're doing great son, but how about you? Are you alright?" asked Lynn Sr.
"I'm doing great dad, but I wish I wasn't here. I already was here for two weeks just for me to be sending back here. I don't think I would enjoy being here without seeing my family."
Everyone smile at Lincoln as all of them hug him. Lincoln hug back as he enjoy the warmth and caring nature vibe he was getting from his sisters and parents, but at the same time he was scared as he begin to smell their blood and heart their heart beating. He knew that he did something wrong in the restroom at caused him to lose control, so it was even more frightening to see himself do that to his family. He was relief when they let go of him and they look at him with secure smiles.
The family was talking how happy they were to have Lincoln. They could never be themselves if Lincoln was harmed by the bully. They knew that Lincoln must have been picked on because of his incident. They knew people wanted to know what happened to him, but they need to understand that it takes time for the white-haired boy to share if it was that series. They can't rush him or else he might fall part. They begin to think, "He's a victim. He's just trying to adjust back to a normal life."
After hours of talking and being together in the hospital bed, the night rolls in. Rita and Lynn Sr. had to talk everyone except for Lincoln home much too every sister displease. They all wave at Lincoln to their goodbyes as the preteen wave by with a smile. He watch as each sister follows the parents to exit. While watching, he notices Lisa observing him before she walk out of the room. Lincoln then grabs the T.V. remote control and turns it off and look at the ceiling. He was glad to have a big family who cared for him. They really do care for him even though they have their worst moments, but nevertheless they still love him.
"You were going to taste their blood?" asked a voice in his head. "That warm blood you suck off from that bully."
Lincoln closes his eyes and ignores the voice.
"Why do you deny it? You are not the same normal 11 year old boy anymore. You are something else, something much greater than a human."
"I didn't ask to be what I am," spoke Lincoln.
"You didn't have to, you were chosen to be. You are the last blood thirsty monster. It's your job to carry the race back to what it used to be thousands of years ago."
"No, I can't-"
"You have to Lincoln. The ancestors of this race are counting on you and you don't have the choice to deny it."
While Lincoln didn't notice, a female nurse with brown hair nurse walk in his room and she was just beginning to tuck in him. Lincoln looks at the nurse as she was just humming with her eyes close.
"Look Lincoln, this can be your second meal of the day. You can do it Lincoln," whispered the voice.
"No, I can't do it. Not again," Lincoln whispered with his eyes close, trying to resist the voice.
The nurse notice how Lincoln was breathing heavily with his eyes close.
"But you need to."
The nurse then reaches her hand to his forehead.
"I can't. I can't hurt her."
Her touch his forehead, which he was sweating but cold.
"Then you have to let me in."
She moves her hand and look at the T.V. What surprised her is that Lincoln wasn't on the bed of the reflection of the screen. She then looks to the preteen, which he pounce on her. The two fell to the floor. The nurse then look at Lincoln with s terrified expression.
"I'm sorry," Lincoln whispered as his fangs was exposed and puncture the nurse's neck.
The nurse try to scream, but she moans to feel her neck touched by the young boy's soft lips. Blood stroll from her neck to the floor as Lincoln continue to suck her blood. Lincoln then took his mouth off his neck to breath as blood smirked on his mouth and teeth. He licks his lips as the nurse look at him in fear while blushing in embarrassment. He then continues to suck her blood from her neck as she continues to moan quietly.
The nurse was felling weak by losing blood and enjoys Lincoln's touches of his lips on her neck and his hand softly touching her body. His hand ran from her stomach to her chest, She felt like she was in heave and Lincoln was an angel touching her with his godly like hands. Her body felt so many weird sensation that she enjoy, but her eyes begin to close and her skin turning grey.
Lincoln sucked all the blood as he look at the nurse. He notice then nurse was pale and thin with red blood stain on her neck. He touches her neck with his finger to get the little blood stain and like it. He lo back at the nurse and check her pulse. There was no pulse and her body was smaller than it was when she was alive.
"Man, I never thought I was that hungry," spoke Lincoln as he look at the nurse body. "I could have mate with her, it I dry her out. I guess I should have watched my hunger."
Lincoln then looks outside to see the moon up in the dark night skies.
"If I have to complete my goal to bring my race back, I need a bride."
