Angels & Demons Chap 8

Part 2 A deadly Antidote

Chapter 8

*Belle*

I woke and rubbed my head and looked around. Why am I in a hospital?
"I see your both awake" Ms. Jo said as she came in to the room with a clipboard.
"What happened?" Ethan asked
"You both had what we call a spike" We must have looked confused because she started to explain "A spike is when a magical creature changes form
"So…we changed…how?"
"Your wings and eyes… Belle your wings are black in entirety, Ethan your wings are just as your sister and your eyes Ethan your iris are white Belle’s yours red. We think that the vampire bites on you are what are causing your spike but…"
"You THINK?" Ethan said
"But what?"

"There are 3 types of vampire venom and we have no idea which bit you and we can’t give you all 3 antidotes-"
"Why not" I said my voice high pitched and sounding like a wind chime
"It could possibly kill you if we were to give you all 3" She said. Ethan and I looked at each other and exchanged glances. "Well your vitals are fine so I will see you both tomorrow" Ms. Jo said then left the room and she was replaced by Anissa and Derick. I wonder where Tre is.
"Hi guys" We smiled
"How are you felling?" Derick asked

"I’m in the hospital…how do you think I’m doing?" I said teasingly Derick gave me a half smile then came and sat next to me.
*Derick*
"So what’s on you mind?" Belle asked
"Nothing" I lied. She gave me an I-know- your- lying - so tell- me look. I sighed "You are" She smiled and rolled her eyes
"I’ll be fine trust me" She smiled then it was gone as soon as it came. Her hands flew threw to throat then she started coughing violently coughing up blood in the process. I could have sworn I saw that her eyes where black. I pulled back the curtain that Anissa had drawn so Belle and I could talk. I drew the curtain back.

"GET A NURSE" Anissa yelled. I did what she said and went to get a nurse. I got a nurse who then called for another nurse and then Anissa and I where shoved out of the room. We were bumped in to Tre who had gone to get pizza for all of us to share. Anissa sank to her knees and leaned against the wall next to the twin’s door.
"What happened to them?" He asked
*Tre*
"They had another spike" Anissa said her eyes looking dead and tired. The twins had been in the hospital for a week but they had been sleeping the whole time.
"They’re woke too" Derick added and looked at me.
"So there not any better?" I asked Derick shook his head no. I nodded and then handed the pizza box to Nissa who eagerly took a slice. A nurse came out of the room her hands and scrubs covered in blood.

"Are they ok?" Derick asked
The nurse didn’t answer right away "Well there woke but…"
"BUT WHAT?" Anissa yelled from the floor
"There eyes…you’ll see" The nurse said then walked away. Derick helped Anissa up off of the floor while I walked in. Ethan was asleep but Belle was awake and smiling.
"TRE" She yelled with glee. I flinched the nurse was right her eyes where terrifying. Her iris where black and the rest was red "What’s wrong?" She asked
"Your eyes" I said I handed her a mirror so she could look at her self
"What’s wrong with them there blue like they all ways are" She said confused
"Never mind" I said and sat next to her. We talked for a while then after an hour or so Derick left then I started to leave.
"Anissa do you want a ride home?"

"No I’m going to stay with Ethan and Belle" she said and wrapped herself in a blanket then made herself comfortable on the couch and closed her eyes. I sighed then smiled. Anissa had refused to leave Ethan’s side since he and Belle where admitted to the hospital. I nodded then turned the light off and shut their door and went home
*Ethan*
I woke to Belle listening to VH1 like she always did in the mornings. A Michael Jackson’s Bad video was playing and Belle sang along to it.
"Michael Jackson?"
"Yea!! He just died not to long ago" Belle said then continued to sing along. I nodded and watched the video with her. After a little while the nurse checked our vitals and Ms. Jo came in. Belle and I didn’t say anything to her we knew she wouldn’t like what we were going to tell her so before she got a chance to say anything I spoke first
"Ms. Jo we want the antidotes"

"Yea…We don’t want to stay in here for ever" Belle added
"But that could kill you"
"Please!" We said in unison. She sighed and looked at her chart then turned to the nurse and said for them to give us the first antidote after we had breakfast.
"Thank you" We said before she left. She stopped in the door way then looked over her shoulder and smiled at us and left. After we ate a breakfast of powdered eggs ,plastic pancakes, and turkey bacon (that was the best part) one of the nurse gave us the antidote then left. There was a knock on the door
"Come in" I said and in came Cal
"Cal!!"

"Thank heavens your alive" She said and hugged and kissed us both "I’m sorry I didn’t come last week" She said and sat on the pull out couch
"Last week? We’ve only been in here for 2 days"
"No you have been sleep for a whole week" She said with a frown Belle looked over at me and smiled. I nodded. We knew what the other was thinking. We hoped what we did was the right thing or else we could have just committed suicide
"What did you two do?" Cal asked us. She knew us to well
"Nothing" Belle smiled.
*Derick*

Belle and Ethan had been in the hospital for a month. They had even taken the antidotes not that it did anything but make their bite marks go away. Cal had been visiting for 3 weeks straight. She had told me that there next spike could be deadly. With each spike they had it go worse. Cal and I where talking when Anissa and Tre walked back in to the room from the cafeteria. Anissa sat next to Ethan and I was already seated by Belle. There backs arched and there wings unfolded then flat line. I was shocked for a minute then it sunk in when I saw Anissa sprawled across Ethan’s unmoving chest and she was weeping. I placed my hand on Belles it was cold then I wept too.
*Tre*
Cal and I tried our hardest to pry Anissa and Derick from Ethan and Belle’s body’s but that did no good we just ended up weeping for those lost to us.
