Chapter 20: A Bloody Hangover

Mia's POV

After Sol left me to sleep, I awoke the next night. I felt my entire body reeling from the events of the previous night and the effect the blood had on my body. Just thinking of it, I almost wanted to throw up again.

When I turned my head to the side, I noticed that the curtains were still tightly shut, despite the sun not threatening my growing headache. There was a tall glass of water with a jug and some painkillers on the bedside table.

I smiled at Sol's great care and chugged down the glass immediately, feeling dehydrated and numb. I left the painkiller because I knew it would only worsen the blood's effect.

A note beside it let me know that Sol had emailed my professors and retrieved some worksheets from the classes I had missed. It was thoughtful that he had managed to do this, which made his care even grander.
