Chapter 11

I don’t know how long I was asleep because when I woke up the tub was cold, and my skin was pruning. I stood up reaching over grabbing the towel from the rack and making sure I wrapped it around my body. But when I got to the bedroom the pain in my stomach started again but then it started spreading outwards.

“DIMITRI HELP PLEASE” that was the only thing I could get out of my mouth before Dimitri came running in the room with his sister and mother. They looked at each other then Dimitri said something, but I couldn’t make out what he was saying the pain was starting to become too much. His sister ran back into the room with a syringe and that is when I felt a pinch in my neck, I looked up at Dimitri and he just smiled at me, “Just give it a minute Vic I promise the pain will be gone.” I just laid there with my head in Dimitri’s lap waiting for the pain to dissipate. Once the pain subsided, I realized I was still in my towel, I could feel the redness starting to creep onto my cheeks.
