M is for Myg

I didn’t want to die. Not now. Not like this.

But what could I do?

Lisa came toward me, dagger in hand, a thirst for blood in her eyes. I’ve seen that look before and I knew what it meant.

White heat poured out through my skin, warming me like a pre-menopausal hot flash (which was very weird, believe me).

Weirder still was seeing a she-devil who can’t take a little climate change. Moody was visibly disturbed as the heat spread through the room. “K..kill her now! N..now!” she rattled.

“Give me your wrist, girl!” said Lisa.

I held out my arm, prepared to meet my maker.

“N..n..not l..l..like th.that! No…no…b.b.b.b.b.b.looood!” Moody aimed her evil glare at me once again, but this time the sting was met with a counter force–the warmth from my skin enveloped me in a glow and diffused her power. Her eyes went all spacey, one moving away from the other.

Lisa slashed my wrist, a clean sharp cut released my lifeblood onto the floor.

“Ow! Fuck!” I cried out. Alex was not going to be happy with the cleaning bill this week, for sure.

Moody looked on, horrified, gulping air. Hissing and growling she sprang. Lisa turned and jammed the bloody dagger into the doctor’s larynx.

“I’m sorry, but we’re out of time,” Lisa said.

Moody clutched her throat and fell to the ground twitching.

“Myg!” Lisa commanded. “You must give Vanny your blood. Now–or we’ll lose her!”

Stunned, I went to Vanny and held my wrist to her mouth. She stirred and wrapped her lips around the wound. As she began to suck I doubled over from the pain. Then she released me and took a heaving breath, but collapsed again.

“I’ve got to get her home Myg, or she’ll die,” Lisa said. She gathered Vanny into her arms and the two of them began to fade.

“Lisa!” I cried out.

“You’re going to be alright, Myg.” Lisa’s tired voice was faint in my head. “For now, anyway…”

Then I was alone.

Except for her.
