The Illness
Fever
Cough
Lost track of time
Day or night?
Sweating
And yet so cold
Fog in front of my
Emerald green eyes
Itch in my throat
Will not go away
No matter how many drinks I down
Mother did not answer when I call her name
And then she was removed from her bed
Daylight is fading from me
"Edward Mason."
A voice whispers my name
I recognize the doctor's shadow
"I do this for your mother and for you"
it is dark
I think
Night perhaps
The doctor leans over me
Kisses my neck?
The pain from the bite
I can not feel
Over the pain of the sickness
It is the poison that gets me
So close to death
It brings me back
Not the healing powers
But the fire in my neck
Pulls me into reality
I try to scream
But my throat is too dry
And it comes out in a breath.
"You will live Edward."
The doctor whispers
"I'm sorry it had to be this way."
But sorry does not cover it
Because an eternity of darkness
Is not living.
im going to ignore the bad reviews and focus on the positives -breathes deeply to calm- positive positive positive
anyway, i liked this one because you never hear about this part of the story...even in fanfic.
