Oh You Re In My Veins 소설 & 이야기

I can’t say it’s my heartbeat because I don’t believe I have one anymore. I hear a thumping, and I am still attempting to figure out what it is. I feel pulsing against my face, so I open my eyes. I can see the vein in Adela’s neck pulsating. I swear I can hear rushing fluid, and I’m betting that it’s her blood. I don’t know how this is possible; maybe I’m crazy,

Make me something else. The younger witch lifts a carved glass syringe and dips it into the bowl. The liquid coils upward like smoke, drawn eagerly toward the needle. My veins turn to ice. “No…” I choke, thrashing against the vines. “Stop… stop… don’t…” She smiles. “This won’t hurt for long.” She presses the needle to my arm. And drives it in. Blue fire shoots through my bloodstream. My skin glows from the inside, veins flaring purple. My scream rips raw from my throat, bouncing off the cavern walls.

"I'm sorry for getting you through this." She smiled back. "No, you don't have to." He smiled at her once again. "We'll get through this if we're going to work together. It's same as the heart of a human, let's say I'm the heart and you’re the blood, we need to work together because if one of us didn't cooperate, it'll be nothing. Even though you'll run through my veins if I'm not going to pump, it'll be a waste and even if I'll pump as much I can if you're not running through my veins, it'll be nothing and it won't work."

I whip myself around to face him, "Give me my daily dose of snow— now." Raze whips out a syringe of my snow, and hands it over to me, "Here, boss." I push up the sleeve of my coat, flexing my arm until my veins come into view. Then I stab the needle into my vein, momentarily closing my eyes. For a heartbeat, nothing happens, then— Boom. Warmth explodes in my veins like liquid fire in my dry veins. It reaches my heart in seconds, slamming hard once, then twice. The rush surges upwards to my neck, climbing to my skull, exploding fragments of sweet bliss in my brain.

Cayden pulled down the collar of his battered shirt, revealing the horrific, pitch-black veins already beginning to crawl up the side of his neck. "We are infected, Lu," Cayden whispered.

She mutters under her breath but I pretend not to hear her. What would I say? How the fuck would I answer that? “Reuben, your back…” She gasps touching my bullet wound which earns a wince from me. “I’m fine…” I protest as she lifts my T-shirt up and touches my bare skin. As she touches me, she leaves tingles in her quake. I can’t but help lean into her touch. “Something is spreading into your veins.” She comments and I can hear the slight fear in her voice. I’ve seen it before. It would look like luminous green as the poison started to work its way through my veins, changing their colour.

It felt like fire spreading through my veins, burning toward my core. "No," I growled, pushing forward to the bathroom. I slammed the door behind me, leaning over the sink. Unlike Ava's prescription, I knew I barely had a few days left. The veins were awfully too close to my heart now, dark lines creeping under my skin like poison. 'I gave you an order.' "And I said no." I groaned, grabbing my chest so hard the skin started cracking, blood welling up under my nails. The pain was excruciating, like shards of glass grinding inside me.

The blood in my veins runs cold, icy tendrils of fear snaking their way through my body. How did she know that!?

There’s only one person who can make any heat flow into the natural ice-cold indifference of my veins. Janelle.

All because of her, all because I loved her too much, all because I trusted her,I lost the one happy family I had, lost my legs and a part of me got lost. “Alpha…,” Luca's voice slowly drew me out of the dark hole I was once again diving into. His voice was calm and wary, almost as if he was scared of calling out to me. I stared at myself and realized every vein on my body had enhanced, there was no part of my body that wasn't covered in black veins. Anyone who saw this was sure to run as fast as possible. “Let's go,” I stated calmly, rising to my feet as the veins slowly crawled back in.
