Chapter 41

I moaned. My head was pounding, and I felt sick to my stomach. Another hellafied hangover.

Wait a minute.

I sat up and remembered what had happened. How long was it going to be like this? How long would I experience two seconds of amnesia thinking I was still human? I sighed and felt Paul snuggled up next to me.

"Paul." I shook him gently.

He opened red-rimmed eyes at me.

"My God! You look more like a Vampire than I do!"

His eyes were hollowed, and his skin was ashen.

I reached out to touch his face, and it was clammy to the touch. I leaped out of bed. This is my fault! I was killing Paul!

He propped himself up on the pillows. "Calm down," he said. "I'm not dying. Mei Wah said that I lost too much blood."

I stopped pacing long enough to give him a long look. "Newsflash. Blood loss causes death!"
