Chapter 5
Lucine snapped back into reality and asked Aurora to grab his first aid kit. Out of his kit he grabbed a suture and bandages. He sewed himself up and drank more blood. Then he said to Aurora, "Thank you but how did you know what to do?"
Aurora simply replied, "When I was watching you work today I picked up a few things. Oh and a class I went to." Lucine looked at her in disbelief. "What I pay attention sometimes!" said Aurora.
"I bet you do, and you better." replied Lucine.
"Excuse me Lucine you aren't my dad" Aurora pointed out.
"But I am your superior." said Lucine. Aurora looked away defeated. "Well let's get to the meal!" said Lucine.
By the time dinner was over they had gotten to know each other better. They talked about how hard it was to be a doctor and resist temptation to drink the blood. Lucine had since figured out that Aurora wanted to be a doctor after she had helped him. Lucine said to Aurora a few minutes later, " Aurora I know you want to be a doctor. I can help you, I'll recommend you to my boss."
"Lucine you don't have to do that." said Aurora blushing.
"Yes I do you saved my life!" replied Lucine
"You saved my life earlier." argued Aurora.
"That's my job." Lucine said.
"You've got a point there but it will soon be my job to save lives graduation is only a month away. I've already been accepted to Institute of Cancer Research and St. George's Hospital Medical College. I'm still trying to decide where to go."said Aurora.
"Not that my opinion counts but I think you should go to Institute of Cancer Research. Anyway you could still work at St. Ann's we have at least 20 cases a year." said Lucine.
"I was really considering it but the money." replied Aurora
"I'll pay your tuition." Lucine assured her.
"You don't need to do that, anyway I barely know you." said Aurora.
"Fine I won't but you won't have to pay I'll teach you. By the way I know all about you." said Lucine studying Aurora. Their eyes met and Aurora looked down blushing.
"That's very nice of you, I thought you would be mean like everyone says." mumbled Aurora.
"Ah well I kinda never let anyone get to know me." said Lucine embarrassed.
At that moment Aurora's phone rang. "Sorry one minute." says Aurora as she walks out of the room. "What Masey? I know I said I should be back around 8:00, but, yes I'm fine. Don't worry I'll call you to come get me later. Yes call Stephine and tell her too. Bye I got to go." Aurora said as she hangs up on her friend.
