Confusion

Chara comes into Alex's room setting a small wide bucket down filled with ice, "Master Alex?"

He glances over at her, his face looks swollen around his cheeks and forehead giving a pitiful look.

"Chara how is Christian doing?"

She giggles at his concerns, "He is fine Master Alex, and you need to rest."

"I know..."

"But the good news is Master Dominique has allowed your trip to town!" Chara says clapping her hands gently, the look of relief is found suddenly on his face.

"I have been saving since I have nothing to really much to spend on."

"Oh?"

"I am glad Christian gave us a list..." Alex laughs.

"I am glad your eyesight has returned Master Alex."

"Me too..."

The cacophony of noise could be heard in the halls, "Master please wait there, I will check."

Chara leaves momentarily to see Dominique with Alice and a large crowd answering questions, the mass was animated and excited, Melina was seen with Christian wrapped around her shoulder stumbling out of the room with his head hung down low where Alice was contained.

So shocked she calmly shuts the door walking backward bumping into the bed, Alex had fallen asleep, "Dominique…" Chara grunts under her breath.

The door is randomly opened abruptly, Chara shouts holding her mouth afterward, "Hello?"

"Hey, just wondering why Alex isn't out here greeting the new girl?" A man asks curiously.

She gets into his face angrily, "Master Alex is sick, so shhh! He will greet her later!" Chara argues thrusting the person out of the room.

"Wait he is sick?"

"Master Dominique knows; please enjoy the new youngling on behalf of Master Alex please," Chara replies frustrated putting her palm over her face sighing.

"What is the ruckus Chara?" Alex inquires climbing out of bed wobbling to the door, Alice stares right into Alex's eyes swinging off Dominique's arms from afar.

"Chara…"

He clings to the door glimpsing at Chara muddled, "Master Alex…"

"Take me to Christian."

"Master Alex, you are sickly!"

"Do as you are told!"

They stand erect at the door where a paper is taped crudely on the door, "Out of order?" Chara reads softly, Alex flips the door open to see Melina with her equipment bundled into the side of the room.

"Master Alex, you are awake?"

He felt sick to his stomach already disoriented slanting against the dresser watching Christian unconscious hooked up to a saline drip while she ready's an oxygen mask.

"Don't Master me, Melina, what happened to him?"

"We are waiting for blood transfusion, newbie really drained him…"

"How long is that going to take Melina?"

"I am waiting for the official call here from another doctor for transfer."

"Who is this Doctor?" Chara asks.

"Doctor Silas…the only human vampires generally do business with."

Dominique slams the door open happily parading completely ignoring Alex and Chara, "Oh Melina!"

She blushes in his sight nervously letting the oxygen fall to the floor rising to welcome Dominique; his fingers slip in-between her blouse loosening the buttons of her shirt.

Alex slams his hand on the counter several furiously, "What the actual fuck is wrong with you both?"

"Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Shut the hell up, this is your fault!"

Dominique steps away ambling over to Alex, "You couldn't prove anything man-child."

"If Christian didn't need help I would whoop your ass right now!"

"I would love to see that!" Dominique responds laughs, "Give me a show sometime."

He sees himself out of the room, Alex points at Melina's face reddening, "How could you do this?"

"Master Alex…"

"No one has explanations to give me…" Alex says running out the door pushing through a large crowd of people just talking and laughing enjoying each other's company, his momentum slows as he feels the effects of the fever riding high on his senses.

Alice appears out of nowhere to him grabbing his hand beckoning to him in the awful din, the music shook the walls and vibrated the floors, Alex ends up holding his ear with freehand becoming more disoriented the louder they played.
