Lucius does not remember whose arms are carrying him, or whose shoulder his head lays against. He does not remember how he ended up here, in these arms. He does not remember where he is. Everything in his brain is chilled syrup. Lucius does know his mouth tastes bitter and throbs in time with his heartbeat, and that his head is heavy, so very, very heavy, with pain. His lids are too heavy to lift, like the rest of him, dreamily attached with vague stitches of feeling and weight. “This is your newest patient, we don’t know his name. He was drugged when we picked him up, been runnin’ a solid fever. I don’t know if it’s best if he stays drugged. I guess wait ’til you see his mouth, Asa. It’s pretty bad. “I’ll keep that in mind. Here, …show more content…
Asa gleaned little about him from them, though, as they hadn’t sought out the records of the illicit research facility before the team leader had committed a friendly act of arson. All he had to work with was a rank smelling, pale vampire, slowly recovering from being drugged out of his mind and harboring a festering infection in his mouth. Even just a day or so later, he looks improved after bathing and shaving and proper treatment of the mess of his mouth. Asa’s pleased to see the antibiotics are slowly starting to work in tandem with the man’s own healing abilities, which are bouncing back from their suppressed state after only a slight nudge from Asa. It’s pleasing to see the groundwork for good progress being laid, and him the one that’s laying it. He focuses more on the vamp as he starts stirring, his brows pinching together, looking more like he’ll rise fully from the depths of sleep this time. There had been other times before now, after the drugs he’d come in under had worn off, but his general exhaustion had kept him asleep for the most part. This time, his lashes flutter apart slowly after a moment. Asa waits as he loses the sleepy vacant look that comes with just having woken up. After that, he waits out the inevitable confusion, fear, and distrust that wash across his face as he takes in the ward and ends up focusing on Asa. His eyes have that look where there’s too much white showing, like a cornered animal, paired
General Patrick finally took notice of the trident on the uniforms of all of the men sitting at the table, not to mention the tape on the uniforms that read ‘US Navy’. “How the hell….” General Patrick said out loud.
I looked at the monitor, just watching her blood pressure and heart rate. Ten minutes later I could see that all of her vital signs were stable. As soon as I turned around, I saw that Dr. Pearce had sewn and patched the wound. “Great job” she said smiling at me.
Jason looked at the other papers and started laughing hysterically, “YES, I found everything I needed right now!!” Jason shoved the papers in front of Gage’s face and explained pointing to the upper right hand corner, “Mateo’s face is right here!,” he shifted his fingers to the middle, “And here’s classified info that proves he’s a criminal.” Jason took the papers back and read, “Wanted for: theft, possession of illegal goods, assault, evading arrest, and the list just goes on and on.”
You concluded that you were asleep. Everything around you was pitch black and you were in a trace-like state.
The group concluded that, at nearly five-past, the gnats would have to go hungry and they filed out of the booth. They slipped past Evan without much more than a cursory word-- whether the presence of two known staff members assuaged him or it was just in his nature to be completely unperturbed by a quintet of off-the-clock individuals stepping confidently past the Employees Only sign was unclear.
(Y/N) let out a frustrated growl and absent-mindedly stared at her screen full of code. She grabbed Kwehvin Lockhart, her rubber chocochick, from her desk and tossed it between her hands.
An unsatisfying supper of turkey along with a few sides short of all the trimmings had awaited Phillip when he got home from Inez’s place.
A fellow member has discovered a new world, your mission is to do recon in..." He paused, confusing Xion and Roxas. "...Hollow Bastion." Saïx gave them the mission report and left abruptly.
She stepped out of the long stretched black limo. It took her four hours to get here. Not that matters to anyone but her. She made it and that was what was important. She smoothed the wrinkles from her dress. The mood darken as she stepped inside the building. In the corner to her right, Ms. Lou and Mrs. Right sat judging everyone the second they stepped into their view. Those two ladies had been judging people for as long as she could remember, but for someone to be allowed to judge them, yeah, not likely to happen. “Some people never change.” she thought to herself. It’s been six years since her last visit and she expected more people to be amongst the dead instead of the living considering that’s where most of their personalities were.
From the region of Tekoa not so far from Jerusalem, to Trevecca, in the heart of Nashville, humble boy Amos changed his humble life from working with sheep and planting sycamore trees, to serving fancy drinks at the 1901 Coffee Shop. Logan Rodgers could not hold himself from having such gifted human being at his coffee shop, for Amos could see visions about Tennessee! From living humbly feeding pigs, Amos was now silent discoing, shaving his beard only twice a year.
Over the course of his years upon this earth, Draco Malfoy had seen many shocking things, mostly thanks to his psychotic - and mercifully deceased - Aunt Bellatrix and her sadistic ophidian Dark Lord. Yet despite all of the horror he'd witnessed during the last war, no act of violence, no streak of depravity, no one person had ever, ever come close to shocking him nearly as much as Hermione Granger just had.
I reach in my pocket as I clamber out of the dusty wagon, I find is a stick of gum, a euro and two roll-ups. Trouble is, I don’t even own a match to light em. I don’t have much after handing over my savings to the traffickers. I’ve come from France to the UK because everyone tells me life’s good here..
There is nothing amazing about being a wannabe YouTube star, however my neighbor, a tall, greedy, e-begging, neckbeard seemed to believe otherwise. His large YouTube channel was an excellent measuring tool for his insatiable ego. He had made a steady living over the years from his pseudo-intellectual rants covering a wide variety of topics. He also did a fair number of internet challenges so he could get some money from the high number of views they received. Needless to say, he was a greedy person. He could eat his own weight in cake, and was probably about two happy meals away from a mobility scooter. He was a chronic narcissist who also owned a podcast with three other people. You’ve got the man himself, his brother wearing sunglasses
It was near dinner time in the Castle of Rowland and the little prince had spent every minute since the occurrence in the garden never more than 10 paces from the King.
Gary must have phoned while she slept; he’d left a voicemail to say he would see her for breakfast, and to expect Liz. Jen played the message repeatedly, agonising over each word, his tone, the brevity of the message. She was desperate to see him, to judge the effect her behaviour of last night had had on him, yet she dreaded this encounter. Had he asked Liz to come as a witness or a referee? Coffee was percolating, the croissants warming in the oven. Angie was at the table; Jen could see her knee jerking, as if keeping beat to a song only audible to her.
