life.
It was a satisfying feeling.
Megan looked at the entrance to the hospital. She knew what giving the blood to her sister meant. She would save her, but Megan would also have to say good bye. After tomorrow, she would no longer be a human, if things went as she hoped. This time, there would be no Jillian in the way, and by the end it wouldn't matter who won. She would have to say good bye to her sister either way. Megan knew she wouldn't turn Jaromir's offer down. She would become a vampire and his queen. She wanted it, and she wanted it badly. That was something she never expected to feel the minutes before she approached Jaromir's club almost a day ago. So many things had changed since then. The attraction between her and Jaromir was real, she hadn't imagined it like Jillian had made her believe. It was the most powerful thing she had ever felt. He was quickly becoming as important to her as having air in her lungs. They belonged together and she looked forward to getting to know his world. Together they would be able to change many things. For instance, all the bad rumors about vampires had to be dealt with, but right now she had to take care of something else.
Megan entered the hospital and took the elevator to the third floor. There were fewer people there , and when she exited the elevator a silence greeted her. It shut out the sounds of voices and walking people from the entrance. But it was a silence that carried sadness and a suffocating pressure. She could almost feel death in the air. Many cancer patients stayed here, and many didn't leave alive. Last time Megan visited Stacey a few days ago, Stacey had told her that she had seen one too many people leave the floor with a blanket over their heads.
Megan swallowed and slowly approached her sister's room. Every time she walked these few steps from the elevator, she expected the worst. She expected to find her sister's bed empty even if she knew that a doctor would call her when that moment came.
Megan opened the door to Stacey's room and saw her sister lying on the bed with closed eyes. Megan relaxed and closed the door. She walked closer to the bed. Stacey was thin, pale and looked a lot older than she was. The cancer was everywhere now. All the doctors could do was to ease Stacey's pain while she waited for the inevitable. Ten years of fighting, surgeries, radiation and more medicine Megan than had ever seen, only to end up like this. At first it had helped, but the cancer had soon blossomed in other places, and now there was nothing anyone could do. Only Jaromir's blood could save Stacey now.
Megan sat down on a chair next to Stacey's bed and gently grabbed her hand. She sho t a fast gaze toward the window. It was getting dark. Her game with Jaromir would soon begin again. These last few minutes was all she would get with Stacey.
Stacey slowly opened her eyes when Megan's hand touched hers. She smiled toward Megan and Megan smiled back.
“Hi,” Megan said.
“Hi, sis,” Stacey answered with barely a whisper.
“How are you feeling?”
“I'm ready to rock. Just give me a few minutes to dress and we will make this night one we will never forget.”
Megan could barely hold back her tears, but she tried to remain smiling. Stacey was unable to hug Megan's hand back . She was too weak, and yet, she was strong enough on the inside to joke about the whole situation. Stacey kept her hope up, no matter what.
“That's good, sis. Within a few minutes, you will be able to do just that.”
Stacey studied her. “What do you mean?”
Megan took out the vial from her bag and showed it to Stacey. Stacey looked at it with surprise in her eyes.
“What's that?” Stacey asked.
“It's medicine.”
“It doesn't look like medicine. It's red.”
“Trust me, it's medicine. It's nothing you have ever heard of before, but it will save you if you drink it.”
“What do you mean? How can that thing save me when nothing else ha s?”
Megan swallowed. The worst
