Eleanor

“Ella,” Eleanor whispered as her niece entered the room. “You are all grown up and so beautiful.”

She had pink hair, but it looked cute on her, and that face of hers belonged on an angel.

“Hi.” Her niece waved.

Next to Ella was a petite redhead. “Hello, Eleanor. I’m Doctor Bridget.” She wasn’t wearing a lab coat, but her authoritative tone didn’t leave room for guesswork even if she hadn’t introduced herself.

“What’s wrong with me, doctor?”

Bridget put the small tray she’d carried in on the rolling table and pushed it closer to the bed. “We will know in a second. I need to make a small cut on your hand.”

“Why?”

“It’s a test. And after we see the results, I can tell you what’s wrong, or rather what’s right with you.”

If all it took to get some answers was a small cut, Eleanor was all for it. “Go ahead.”

The doctor gripped her hand firmly, swiped it with antiseptic, and before Eleanor knew what was happening, she felt a sharp pain in her palm.

“Ouch. How did you do it so fast? I didn’t even see you move.”

“That’s the idea. I didn’t give you time to get scared.” Bridget held on to her hand and looked at the cut intently.

Some blood welled over the cut, but given the sharp pain she’d felt, it was much less than Eleanor had expected. It also stopped hurting almost right away. The antiseptic must have contained an analgesic component.

Vivian and Ella were also looking at the cut intently, Vivian from the other side of the bed, and Ella over the doctor’s shoulder.

“Wow,” Ella said. “That’s fast.”

“You must be very close to the source.” The doctor wiped the blood away with a piece of gauze.

The cut was gone. How could it be?

Were they trying some new medication on her? Anything that could bring about such rapid healing would sell like crazy.

“What was in that antiseptic?”

The doctor chuckled. “It was just Betadine. The special ingredient was in your genes.” She gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “Welcome to immortality, Eleanor.”

“What are you talking about? What did you do to me?”

The doctor looked at Vivian. “Do you want to explain? Or should I?”

“I’ll do it.” Ella hopped on the hospital bed. “You are no longer in Kansas, Eleanor. Get ready to discover Oz.”

“First tell me is it good or bad.”

“It’s awesome. You are an immortal now. You are not going to get old, you are not going to get sick, and your biological clock might actually turn back.” She looked at the doctor. “Am I right?”

Bridget nodded. “Wrinkles will disappear, your skin will become as taut as it was in your twenties, and if you have any gray hair under that awful brown dye, it will be gone as well.”

“And it gets better.” Ella smiled. “I’m an immortal as well, and so is my mom, and Parker, and the doctor, and everyone you’ve met in the mansion at Atherton, including a certain hunky dude named Greggory.”

“I must be still under the influence of drugs.
