Chapter 40 : ice queen

 
A black wave of numbness took over my body by force. Every feeling was taken over by nothingness. I had never thought I would hear that name given to me again. Mi moo died with Arabella. I barely breathed; I was so still. Nothingness was a feeling I carried off well. Unfortunately nothingness was something that freaked out the people around me

“Mi, open your eyes Mi.” Something tickling the side of my face was the first feeling through my numb dreaming. With it come the hole again, the aching void in my stomach. I missed the numbness but no matter how I tried to hold on to it the black was fading away from me. The tickling on my check was also becoming more intrusive.
“Come on Mi, back with us now.” My eyelids fluttered open to a crowd of faces. For some reason I was lying on my back on the doctors bench, a blood pressure monitor on my arm and a strange clip on my index finger and an irritating mask suctioned to my face. My brain slowly found its way back to reality.

Oh dear god I passed out.

  I shot my body up to an upright position my head still swimming a little bit but I managed to focus on the only friendly face I knew out the lot of them. Emmet was standing in the background for the first time looking a little bit anxious, His hand twirling around each other.

“Sharp prick Mia.” Crystal picked up my un-plastered hand and put a small device to one of my fingers and pressed a button. I winced; Crystal rolled her eyes and dropped my hand back to my side. Staring at the monitor until it beeped.

“1.7, low,” Crystal snapped, this time and the one time before I had met crystal she had been blunt and off to me I was not sure what I had done but something seemed to deeply offended her about me.

“Get her some orange juice or there is some sugar jelly stuff in the cabinet over there.” Crystal said to the other woman that was in there. Her shrill voice or the threat of even more calories braking though the remaining cobwebs from my sleep.

“Can’t I just have some water or something?” I asked in a small voice not daring to look directly into crystals eyes but more at the extraordinary amount of earrings she had in just one ear, however that didn’t stop me seeing her dramatically roll her eyes again.

“There’s no sugar in water Mia.” I winced at my full name but once again she just rolled her eyes at me. I hated Crystal.

“Orange juice then.” she said impatiently clapping her hands at the woman who had obviously not moved fast enough for the ice queens liking. I had never wanted to growl at another human being as much as I wanted to then.
