CHAPTER 17: Fever

AIDEN

As I drove through the almost empty street of Lone Oak- It was named so because only a few people and cars were often seen moving and out of it. It was the loneliest street as far as West Vale was concerned- I occasionally stole glances at Elena, she was mumbling incoherently, and the back of my hand went to her forehead to feel her temperature.

Grimacing, I withdrew my hand, then switched on the air-conditioner to cool her heated skin.

It was getting worse by the moment, and it was beginning to terrify me. She had been fine yesterday and never showed any sign of fever. Heck, we had even argued, but no sign of her feeling this unwell.

Perhaps, she was bitten, I thought to myself. My breath quickened, and with trembling hands, I brushed aside the strands of white hair covering her neck gently whilst searching for any mark. My tensed body relaxed and I let out a sigh of relief as I found none.
