Ch.3 Revival.
"Oh. My. Goodness. Rae! How much blood has she lost?" A worried voice said as I drifted back to awareness. I attempted to sit up and heard another scream the same one that I heard last night. I opened my eyes and stared into a shock of brown hair.
"Are you okay, Kelsey?" I asked in a slurred voice. As I remembered the events that took place last night. I lifted my hand and brushed the hair away from her neck revealing two fang marks.
"Yes, I'm okay, but I didn't try to fight whatever it was that attacked me." She said as she moved a cool cloth to my neck. I have to remember to give this one a lot of bleach in the next wash I thought as she pulled it away covered in blood. "Ouch. You might need some cover up on that before choir. And a good shower." She wrinkled her nose as she touched my cut. I flinched again in pain at the feel of her hand against the tender skin. Her Hand came away with more of the crimson blood.
"Help me up please." I said as I struggled to get my feet under me. I grabbed her hand as she dragged me to my feet. I stood shakily on my feet and struggled back to my room. After a few moments I finally managed to get back into a normal stride. Echo mewed in greeting as I entered the room. She padded out of the closet where she must have been hiding after the 'thing' attacked last night. I walked over to the dresser which had a piece of paper laying on it. I was certain that hadn't been there the night before. I picked it up along with a new set of cloths and headed for the bathroom.
Never had I wanted a hot shower any more than this. I was sticky with dry and drying blood and I couldn't even see the wound. I flinched under the water pressure but then loved the soft patter of the water against my skin. The water running down the drain was crimson with blood. After an hour I got out and changed into my uniform.
I walked out after I brushed my hair down so it hid the bite. With a silver rose embroidered over my heart I actually thought we had a chance. Ruth, Kelsey and I were trying out for spots at an elite School of music. I moved the paper I was holding from hand to hand as I walked to the living room.
"You look like the walking dead." Kelsey remarked as I entered the room. I looked up at the mirror and saw my skin was as pale as new fallen snow. It must have been from the blood loss, even Kelsey looked a little pale.
"You don't look so great yourself. Did you find a note too?" I asked. She nodded and held up a folded piece of paper. As I started to unfold it frantic knocking came from the door.
"Rae! Let me in!" Came a yell from outside the door. "Please!" She shouted. I threw open the door to find a terrified Ruthie standing there, with blood drying on her neck and face. There was a slip of paper in her hand identical to the ones Kelsey and I had. Ruth fell through the doors, passing out from blood loss.
I lifted her lightly off the doorstep and dragged her into the house. "Kelsey!" I yelled half in worry and half in fright. Kelsey burst out into the main entrance way and screamed. "Kelsey, Get a hold of your self! Grab her feet!" She quickly complied and I think we were both in shock.
"Rae! Get a cold cloth and blankets and another set of the uniform." Kelsey said taking control of Ruthie. I quickly rushed off to grab what she wanted because when Kelsey was in a mothering mood the smart thing was to do what she wanted you too. "Rae, Quickly!"
I rushed through the house, tripping down the stairs as I came back from my room. "Here you go." I said as I passed her all of the items she told be to get as well as a few others that I saw necessary. "Let me handle the wound please." I said as I gently moved a cool cloth to Ruth's forehead and moved another one to wipe the blood off of her neck, face and visible chest.
Kelsey picked up the cup of juice I had set beside her and took a sip as I wiped away the some of the blood. Funny how she only has two little wounds and there's so much blood I thought Did they hit her jugular vein? I had just finished cleaning the blood away when she started to stir.
"Rae?" she said sounding like she was a little drunk. She did the same thing I did to Kelsey and revealed my bite. "You too?"
"Yep, and Kelsey was bit too." I said as Kelsey removed the hair covering her bite. Ruth's eyes opened wide and her moth fell open. I quickly handed her a cup of juice and went to make another and grab the arrow root cookies. Great now we al were going into shock I thought as my hands started to shake.
As I came back into the room Ruth started to laugh hysterically. It only took a few moments before the sound of a slap echoed around. I flinched as I heard the sound of some one hit the floor. I jumped into the room as Ruth landed motionless on the floor. After that I fainted.
I started to come to as a bucket of water was dumped over my face. Spluttering I sat up and glared at Kelsey. "I didn't know you were waking up." She said as she shivered under my glare. "The power is back" she whispered.
"How is Ruth?" I said as I looked at the clock. 3:00 pm, Great we had half an hour to get to the Try outs.
"She's awake, and dressed, now go change." Kelsey said as I sprinted up to my room, the notes forgotten.
