His blood

EVERLY POV:

Three days have passed since the incident. My body has been feeling weak, and I am unable to do any hard work. My back has been hurting a lot, mainly the middle part. My eyes have been feeling itchy, my ears ring from time to time and my canines hurt as if new teeth are replacing them. Mark I was spending the last two days mostly in bed , unless I had something urgent to take care of. Mark has been taking care of my classes, bringing me my assignments and such.

I feel bad that he has to do most of the work at his apartment and at mine.He already has much to do with his assignments and getting to please his family. Well, he insisted on taking care of me and not seeing a doctor. He said that if this continued more than three days we'll go see a doctor. Yet, I feel he is taking care of me that much because of guilt, but there is no reason for him to feel guilty about anything.

"Take this." Mark came back from the kitchen holding a tray. He passed me two pills of painkillers followed by a cup of warm water. "Thank you."

"Is the pain still too much to handle?" He caressed my hair as I jogged down the cup of water. "It's a bit more bearable than the past two days i think. Still pain though." I tried to laugh to ease the mood, but it up turned against me and I found myself shot by a pain under my rib cage.

"Slowly." He chuckled rubbing my back. "I'll do you some really good soup okay? I'll make sure it'll make you wake up tomorrow with no pain at all." He stated proudly in a goofy manner as he took the cup back placing it on the tray. "It pains me to see my baby that way." His eyes were now serious and held sadness.

"I'll be okay really." I tried to assure him, massaging the back of his hand.

MARK POV:

I have to make her drink my blood. I can't wait any much longer. My eyes close , fist tight. I have to do this. I opened the palm of my left hand, the knife in my right. I took a deep breath slashing the knife over my skin. Less than a second later, the blood slid from my palm to the bowl of soup.

My mission, is close to an end.

After letting enough blood fall in the soup, I closed my cut. 'All must repair, all must stitch back.' Everly should not see my cut hand. It's been a while since I used my magic.

I mixed the blood with the soup by spoon. 'It's for your best'. I put the bowl on the tray and headed to her room. 'I hate to see you hurting. '

'This is the only way.'

"Here is the tastiest soup in the world, for the most beautiful girl in the world." She laughed at my comment. This alone could make my sadness go away. Just hearing her laugh, seeing her smile.

"You should finish it all and go to sleep. It's already late." It will take 17 hours for the blood to fully activate in her body. At around two in the afternoon the next day. That way she won't be suspicious of that soup. "If you still feel pain , I'll call the doctor and take an appointment tomorrow noon , if the pain still continues."

"Okay.By the way, it's delicious. Did your mother teach you how to cook it too?"

"She did.Almost every recipe I know is by her." She smiled finishing her soup.He eyes should burn now.

"My eyes feel hot."She rubbed her eyes after putting the bowl aside.

Now she should feel sleepy.

"I think I will sleep now." She smiled. "I feel sleepy after drinking this."

She should cough twice.

"Thank you for the soup it was delicious."-the first cough. "Anytime, baby." I ruffled her hair as she was lowering her body to under the sheets.

"Goodnight."-the second cough.

Done. Now she should go for sleep for 13 hours.

"Goodnight Everly." It's going to be alright.
