I flinch at the contact of Nurse Armelle's fingers touching my cheek. "Calm down, Adeline. The worst part didn't even start yet." She began, my eyes flickering behind her to the one and only Mr. Hansel. He seems determine, his jaw clenching repeatedly, his arms crossing over his chest and his left foot tapping on the tile ground. "This might sting." She adds before pressing a cotton ball against one of the cuts. It was downed with alcohol and it starts burning that I have to bite my lip. "Fuck." I mutter under my breath before she pulls away and does the same thing to my other cut. Luckily I was right and there was only two. I stare back at Mr. Hansel and he takes a deep breath before looking away. We are in the emergency room that is in the school building but on the first floor. That's where everyone goes if they are hurt. After what happen at the station, Phillip brought us back to Willow-Red and while the whole walk back he was arguing and saying what we did was dumb. I took the blame and told him to yell at me, not Piper. "Okay, I'm going to patch it up for you then you are set." Nurse Armelle says to me and I shake my head, looking down at her hands which are holding a big band aid. "I am not walking around for who knows how many days with big ass band aids on my face. I'll be fine like this." She shakes her head. "But you cannot walk around with open wounds in this place, you can-" "Enough Armelle, let her be. No one will hurt her." Mr. Hansel sighs. She turns to him and takes a deep breath before walking out of the room. The room courses in silence while I stare down at my hands and he just watches me. My green eyes eventually take a glimpse of his blue ones, giving him a frown. "I know what I did was wrong." "Wrong? Only? Adeline someone could have killed you in the streets like that." He snaps his fingers together to show how fast. "There is never humans walking around the streets in the vampire world. If vampires see one, they will attack." "But I saw a human getting fed off from vampires." "Yeah because those females are wonderers. They live in the vampire world, they are like prostitutes and they live in the streets." Mr. Hansel blurts out and I look away. "I didn't know. Like I didn't know there was feeding stations." "It's fine, at least you are okay." "Were you guys looking for us?" "Looking for you guys? Yeah." He scoffs. "We even cancelled school today for everyone." "Why?" "Because we need to check every building and talk to every teacher and all that what not." "So is everything getting pushed back? Like the day we are meeting the boys and..." He shakes his head. "No, the teachers are just going to rush now till Friday." "Damn." I breathe out a laugh and he grins. "You know, I called your uncle during your missing." "Oh really?" He nods his head, biting his bottom lip. "Yep and he kind of didn't believe me you were here but eventually he gave in." "What did he say?" I get up from sitting down, both of us walking out of the room. We walk down he empty emergency hall, leaving the door that says exit and reaching the lobby. "He said that he's going to come see you sometime this week. Maybe tomorrow and the next day because he doesn't really like doing this late." We walk out of the school and it's night. The stars are gleaming above the sky and the sidewalk is lit up with lights from poles dug in the grass. "Did you tell him that I was missing?" Mr. Hansel chuckles. "Hell no. He would get pissed off and start blaming our security. And you are smart where you snuck out, we did not have camera in the back of the building." I laugh while he holds open the door for me to walk in the girls dorm building. "Haha, I'll keep that in mind so whenever I need to escape again, I'll back there." "Oh no, no. We put camera's there now." I groan, talking the exit stairs to my dorm. We both walk up and I knock on the door, waiting for Piper to open it. We stand there awkwardly in the quiet hall while I bang on the door again. "Piper, are you there?" I shout, taking a step closer to the door. Mr. Hansel grabs my arm, pulling me back and telling me to be quiet. I obey while I watch him press his left ear against the door. I nervously stand by, biting my nails and suddenly, a couple of girls from their dorms come out to see what's going on. Mr. Hansel pulls away, grabbing the doorknob and twisting it. Nothing. No budge. He growls annoyed and looks down the hall, his bright blue eyes dilating. "What's going on?" I ask him and his attention turns back to me. "I hear a decrease of breathing in the room, we need someone to open the door." He replies back quickly before vanishing with vampire speed. He's gone. Where the fuck did he go? More girls come out of their dorms, whispering to each other and wondering what's going on. I start to worry, going back to the door and banging on it. "Piper! Are you okay? Please open the door!" I shout, praying that she's well and safe. But she can't if Mr. Hansel said that her heart rate is decreasing. I'm yanked away from the door suddenly and Mr. Hansel is the one holding me back. In front of me is Fiona with a key in her hand sticking it through the hole and twisting. She barges in, walking into the room while Mr. Hansel and I follow in panic. The room is empty until I hear the faucet in the bathroom running. All three of us go in the bathroom and I hear Fiona gasp. "Piper!" I scream, running to her pale body that is on the ground. The sink is running with steaming hot water. She is unconscious and seems so small in my grasp. I cradle her head in my arms while Fiona says she's going to call help. Mr. Hansel gets down on his knees too, resting his head against her chest, hearing her breathing. "Dammit Piper come' on!" He shouts, grabbing her from me and placing her down on the ground. I get up, covering my mouth and tears filling in my eyes. There's a rush in my veins, full with fear. Suddenly I get dizzy, grabbing the sink for support. I lean on it, breathing deeply and watching Mr. Hansel do CPR to her. He does mouth to mouth, trying to get her breathing again. Fiona appears again but with three other men who surround Piper. I move back when they come in with a stretcher. Mr. Hansel gets up quickly and they put Piper on the stretcher, taking her out to the hall. They rush to the elevator and before I can get in, the doors shut. I hurry down the stairs and they beat me by a couple of seconds. I follow them out the doors and rushing with them into the school building and where the emergency section is. They take her into a room, sticking needles in her skin and putting an IV for her. A man who must be the doctor came running in and doing CPR again. I try to get in the room but they wouldn't allow me to. I fight to get in but I have no strength from these vampires. "She went in shock in the bathroom." Mr. Hansel says who's next to me after they slam the door closed. "Is she going to be okay?" I panic, trying to look through the window but the nurses and doctor are covering the view of her. "Hope so." "From what?" I ask, running my hands through my hair. I sigh, walking across the hall and sitting at the three chairs next to each other. "There isn't any medical problems for her to go in shock so she must have went from dehydration." "Dehydration?" He nods, walking across the hall to sit besides me on the chair. "Yes, maybe she hasn't had enough water to keep her body hydrated." "Oh my goodness, I hope she's okay." I whisper, staring through the small window and watching the doctor and nurses do their work. "Are you going to stay here?" "I'm gonna wait as long until she wakes up." I mutter, staring through the window. "Okay, I'll wait with you then." I look at him, a soft smile forming on my lips. He grins, turning back to the window while I rest my head on his shoulder.
