Firefly woke with a start, his body already beginning to stand. It was as if he was being physically pulled to his feet. There was only one thing that could do that, he knew. An order from his masters. Somehow, even from a distance, they were calling him, and his body was responding even before his mind was fully awake.
He felt like utter shit.
The world looked strange, blurry. It seemed to swim before his eyes each time he blinked. And that was far from the worst of it. A feeling akin to nausea threatened to overwhelm him. But this nausea wasnât only in his stomach; it was a sickness that sang from every cell of his body. He could even feel it in his teeth.
Heâd had his share of rough mornings after a night of drinking at Tankards, but this felt like every hangover heâd ever had all rolled into one. His body throbbed with pain.
The worst part was that he knew there was a very simple cure to the sickness: sleep.
For the first time in his life as a vampire, he was experiencing daysickness. All his body wanted was to rest until the sun went down. If he lay down in this storm drain and closed his eyes, heâd be asleep in an instant and the pain would be gone. But his masters compelled him to come, so that was what he must do.
It was no wonder all the vampires heâd encountered during the day in his time with the GMT had been so pissed off. The way he was currently feeling, heâd probably rip out the throat of anyone who came into his immediate vicinity.
He ran through the maze of storm drains, instinctively knowing which way to turn at each junction. Once, he made a wrong turn, but he only made it a few steps before his instincts recognized the mistake and forced him to turn around.
The tunnels were crowded with sleeping Ferals, a fact that made Firefly nervous when he thought about it too hard. But they didnât rouse when he ran by, or even when he leaped over them. He understood why. He was a vampire. It wasnât worth the daysickness to go after someone who couldnât even feed their hunger. If he still smelled human, the experience of running through this tunnel would have been far different, he knew.
His leg brushed against a Feral as he ran by, and he shuddered. The world had turned upside down. He would give anything to go back just a few days, to refuse to lead the Resettlers to their first night on the surface. If he could somehow get up to New Haven, heâd pay Fleming a visit. Heâd slice the councilman throat to balls and heâd pull out the manâs insides. Then heâd sink his teeth into Flemingâs soft neck and drink deep. He could almost feel the hot blood flowing across his teeth and down his throatâ
He shook his head, pushing away the fantasy and the hunger it had stoked.
