I'm fighting this

Raine woke up at 6 am the next day, and found Cam and Hunter sleeping beside her. Suddenly she remembered what happened. The transformation made her feel the lamia instincts intensively. She got up carefully, and looked into the mirror. Her eyes were encircled in black skin bags. She knew what that meant, but was fighting strongly against it, and wasn't willing to lose that battle.

After the shower, she got dressed and went out. Her body ached but she knew that she would feel better after her early meditation.

Cam woke up and kissed Hunter softly. "Babe, wake up, Raine already got up".

Hunter mumbled something with his eyes still closed. "What time is it?" he asked in the middle of a yawn.

"6:25 am" Cam informed him. "Raine must be meditating".

Cam and Hunter took a shower and then joined their friend in the academy grounds. Raine was already there, talking to the Sensei. She didn't look well, on the contrary, looked tired and sick.

"Raine are you OK?" asked Hunter.

"Yes, thanks, still a little tired, but I'll be fine" she said smiling.

"The rest of the rangers will join us soon, you'll start your training today" Sensei told them.

Raine started the meditation. Suddenly she felt better. Her skin was retrieving its color and she also felt strong again. Her mind was even more powerful than she thought. Her lamia instincts seemed to fall asleep again.

After the meditation, Sensei was waiting for them with the breakfast.

"I was starving!" said Dustin while devouring a toast.

"That's your condition!" said Shane smiling and patting his butt.

"How do you feel today, Raine?" asked Tori.

"Better now. Thanks" she said honestly.

"What happened last night?" asked Hunter.

"The transformation... I think it was too much for a day" she said.

"What did you feel?" asked Cam.

"Hunger" she said looking at him.

"Blood appetite?" asked Blake.

"I don't know exactly what it was" she said, lying.

"If you feel it again, I think I have the solution" informed Cam.

"What solution is that?" Raie asked.

"I'm a doctor, remember?" he said smiling. "I have tested blood in case that my friends may need it".

"I'm fighting myself for not to drink human blood, Cam" she said sadly.
