Ever since I graduated 5 years ago, I have enjoyed my time as a nurse. I liked the chaos; and thrived in stressful situations that would cause others to shut down. I've held people's literal lives in my hands before. Working in an ER I saw everything from people having the flu to people with gunshot wounds. But, deep down I really knew why I liked working in the ER. I didn't have to form meaningful connections with the people I took care of. Once they were patched up, they were sent off to wherever it was that they needed to be sent to. Needless to say, I didn't like the idea of becoming attached to people. "The patient in room 306 is asking for you, Bella." A female voice spoke behind me. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have been so irritated by someone telling me that one of my patients was calling for me. However, the new hire had no business prodding into my rooms without needing to. I sighed, frustration settling in my veins. I had been working hard all day, and the last thing I wante

I chewed my lip anxiously, attempting to prepare myself for the bombardment of questions and soreness from Aunt Maggie when I got home. I could almost hear the indictments now, the, 'why wasn't he in?' or, 'why didn't you just talk to the stand-in guy.' Fearing the worst, per my anxious mind. I pulled onto our street, breaking when I noticed cars parked along the road outside my Aunts house. She never has anyone over without telling me.To my shock, I was unable to park in the driveway because a nice, smooth black sports car was parked in my spot. I wondered if maybe this was the boyfriend Maggie spoke to the phone the other day. But to whom did these cars belong? Maggie hardly got out; who could she possibly know with expensive-looking vehicles like that?I shut my car off and collected my things to head inside. I caught someone standing in the window to the living room, observing me get out of my car. I felt a little uneasy that I was being scrutinized on the lawn of my home. I push

I stood in the shower's mist, my arms looped around myself as I gazed at the shower cabin wall. I was in a daze, in a mere matter of minutes, my life went from normal, to downright something out of a tv show. Something that I never thought would ever happen to me, let alone be something that could be actually real. This type of stuff only happened in Hollywood.There was so much going through my mind, everything that had just been revealed to me was world-altering, literally. All this information I had just learned was baffling, and unbelievable at the same time. My thoughts were jumbled, basically tripping over themselves as my brain formulated them. I chewed on my bottom lip as I tried to make sense of them, but there were too many that it seemed like an uphill battle at this point. My world was about to change, for either the worst or for the better.The men were somehow related to Maggie and me, whether it be indirectly or directly. I didn't like the feeling I got when they were a

Aunt Maggie had not shut up the entire time we were in the car. All she did was ramble off about everything that had occurred in the last 19 years since she had left with me. I was valedictorian in high school and went to nursing school on a full-ride scholarship. I graduated there on the Dean's List and was also valedictorian there. Though they were a short 'yes,' or 'ah,' Adam acknowledged her. I didn't know if he was really listening after the first 10 minutes of her speech. After a while, he glanced in the review mirror to mouth, "Does she ever shut up?" I smothered my amusement and shook my head in reply, trying not to laugh as Maggie went on about my work ethic and how I could easily outdo anyone in his workforce. He lamented, "Maggie, there must be a reset or a cap of words or something. You'll be here for at least two weeks, there's plenty of time to have a conversation about literally anything. I don't need to hear about every little time Isabella breathed in the last 19 year

I followed Adam down the short corridor, but not before a string of protests were thrown around by Leah and Maggie that they should see him first. At first, I declined, trying to let family who knew him first see him before his pain medicine kicked in, but Adam declined, insisting that I had to go first. I felt terrible, I did, but this is what he wanted. The hallway was longer than I imagined it to be, with a small set of stairs that led down. The new corridor we were in only had two doors, Adam stood outside the door of the room that was furthest down the hallway, turning to look at me, "Go ahead." I stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do, so instead, I stalled for just a bit longer. "Is he in the confused state yet? Or is he still coherent?" "Still coherent, he's only on a morphine drip. It honestly doesn't do too much, but they're going to increase it in the later stages." He spoke quietly, crossing his arms against his chest. "What is it?" I murmured, wanting to know what

"There's a bonfire tonight, Isabella. It's to celebrate your return... You should come." Mary spoke as she slid into her parent's car. "It is for you, after all." Leah smarted off, snorting, sliding in behind her. I gritted my teeth, trying not to be hostile on my first day back. Why was she so damn rude? I shoved my hands into the pocket of my hoodie as I watched them get into their vehicle to leave. That was my only saving grace and respite from the rude family member I had. I didn't expect to have any problems with anyone until after Grandpa passed, not the first damn day."She's probably tired. You don't have to go if you don't want to, Bella." Adam said, closing the door behind his daughters, rolling his eyes, knowing that his daughter was being rude. "Sorry," he mouthed before opening his door and leaning on it. "No, I'll go.. It'll be rude if I don't." I shrugged, knowing that Leah would have to deal with me again tonight. Plus, I didn't want to give her any more ammo to use for

The night went much longer than I wanted, so I left Maggie alone to find her own ride home. I was exhausted and the feeling in my bones I had from earlier seemed to be staying for good. After my interaction with the real Alexander, I seemed to be on vibrate, like everything in me was moving and itching to figure out more- more about him. I wanted to get out of there, I didn't like the way it shook me to the core. It was bizarre. This whole thing was weird. Everything about this place felt off like there was something they weren't telling me. I especially didn't like how they were all so afraid of this Alexander guy, sure, he was intimidating as hell, and yeah, he was hot. But I didn't like how Maggie seemed to be scared of him, and I knew that she didn't know him. Why was everyone was so scared of him? I just wanted to sleep it off, and hope tomorrow would be different. Because if this was how things were going to go, I didn't know if I would last two weeks here before I had to leave
The Moon Calls 8
I sat in the dark closet for hours until heavy, swift footfalls approached the bathroom door. I pushed myself up against the shelves, trying to get away from whoever was growing closer. My heart raced, and I worried that I would pass out from fear. Or have a heart attack. In that case, I just hoped that I would die and whoever was in the house with me would see that I was dead and leave my poor body alone. But that wasn't the case. The person opened the bathroom door, making me cover my mouth, trying to hide my heavy and ragged breathing. I screamed when the door opened, my eyes wide until I saw a familiar face. It was my Uncle Adam. I had never been so happy to see a stranger in my life. I jumped into his arms, "What's going on?" I hiccuped. He enveloped his large arms around me, sweeping me off my feet, "I don't have time to explain, Isabella. It's not safe right now; we have to leave." He expressed it as calmly as possible."Why? Why isn't it safe, Adam?" I spoke as he carried me,
