The Vengeful Luna

In my veins

Aeolian's POV

Everything hurts. everything burns and everything aches and I don't know how to make it stop anymore. It has been like this lately, mild pain and fever, but today... today it was worse than it could have ever been. It feels like my whole body is on fire. It feels like there are countless bees inside, trying to sting their way out from under my skin and I don't know what to do. I sleep. I want to sleep the day away, but I'm eventually pulled awake by the pain.

I make my way down the stairs and walk to the bathroom, hoping to find some relief under the cold water. The moon was supposed to be up in the sky, but the cloudless sky is missing any view of the moon. New moon. Usually, the new moon is a time when my kind does feel a bit odd, but this was beyond feeling odd. Something was wrong and it was slowly taking a turn for the worse. Every breath of air feels cold and I feel my heart beating in a frenzy, while my blood boils in my veins.

I'm nauseous and every move I make feels heavy and insecure. I strip from my clothes and toss them on the floor before stepping in the shower and letting the cold water soothe me. At first, it feels that it might help. I do feel better, but then, a sharp pain rips through my chest, forcing my air out of my lungs. My mind is hazy and by the time I make sense of what is happening, Elanor is already by my side.

I feel her scent. I hear the gentle way she calls my name and I want to smile knowing she is here, but I can't. My muscles feel too heavy to do that. When she reaches for me and she touches me, I instantly pull away though. Her touch, once comforting and soothing, feels now like a deep cut in my body and I'm already in enough pain. When my eyes open and I look at her, she seems to panic even more, and truly, I am not sure If the person standing in front of me right now is her or someone else.

"f**k- " she breathes and hurries out of the bathroom, leaving me alone with my truly overwhelmed mind.

I'm not even sure what makes it so hard to think right now. The raw pain. The mental fog or simply the tiredness that has been steadily growing for a while.

"Elanor? " My voice came out in a huff. My throat feels dry and it hurts to even talk right now, so, her name is muffled by a painful hiss and I try to swallow it back and immediately regret it because it instantly sends another jolt of pain through my whole body.

"Don't move you i***t! " Elanor's voice rings through the whole bathroom as she hears me hiss in pain.

I'm not sure what she's doing, but it sounds as if she's turning the whole house upside down.

"What's happening?! " Another voice echos through the house.

"I don't know! " Elanor answers and before I can figure out who's here, Elanor storms back inside the bathroom and hurries to kneel beside me.

"What are you doing?! " A red haired person showed up in the doorway and immediately turned away at the sight of me, offended or maybe afraid that I was naked. I wanted to chuckle because it was not like Marina had never seen me naked before. But her little respect left for me shows and I want to mock her for it.

But I'm not offered the chance when Elanor touches me ever so softly, sending rivers of pain down my arm, before stinging me with a needle and muttering something under her breath. I feel the cold liquid she injects right into my blood stream almost sizzle in contact with the boiling blood that's running through my veins. .
