Chapter 6

When Annalise awoke, she wasn’t quite sure where she was. She rolled over and almost fell out of the bed, before she remembered. She wasn’t in her king size bed at the Bugresson house. She was in the double bed in the downstairs of the Hever’s health clinic, just off from the living room where everyone tended to gather. On either side of her, there were monitors, although they were off.

As soon as she sat up, a knock came at her door. Dr. Hever, having clearly heard that she was awake, was coming to check on her.

Two months of living with the Guard had made her forget about vampires. She could actually hear every single movement and breath a human made. All she had to do was cough in the middle of the night and someone would be at her side.

“How did you sleep?” he asked her, gently. She sat up a bit more, leaning her head against the headboard and adjusting her pillows. She felt like she had been lying down forever. As soon as she could transported, she was released from one hospital and brought to another. And then, when she was finally discharged, probably sooner than she should be, she was brought to the Hever’s house and set up with enough equipment that she might as well have been in the hospital.

Dr. Hever was a wonderful doctor, she admitted that. He obviously had years of experience, of trial and error, and she wouldn’t want anyone else treating her. He knew that throughout the years, ginger worked better than anything on the market. He knew that listening to a patient’s body was much more important than following textbook guidelines in terms of minimum doses. Annalise was supposed to be receiving chemo every day, but with her body already weakened, it was every day and a half, and even that was hard for her.

“Fine,” she replied and he stepped into the room. Within a moment of him stepping inside, Tony was suddenly at the door as well.

Annalise gave him a smile. She had missed him, of course, but she still felt jerked away from the place where she had come to love.

“Tony, give me a moment, will you?” Dr. Hever asked. Tony gave him a look, but relented. Annalise smirked, glad to see some things didn’t change.

“I’m just going to check your vitals, and make sure things are still strong, okay? You were a little lower than I liked last night.”

She held out her left arm, reaching for her phone with the other hand. He wrapped a blood pressure cuff around her arm as she scrolled to her text messages.

Skype meeting confirmed, 10 am.

It was from Gregory, who had been kind enough to allow her to continue to communicate with Arthur through him. She hadn’t succeeded in getting Arthur a phone yet, although it was her next mission, before it was too late.

Too late.

She didn’t like to think like that, but if things didn’t change soon, it would be true.
