will not last for very long. I will give her something for the pain, and she will be alright.” Pratt tried to reassure him.
“It just sounds so dangerous, and painful.” He sighed.
“Let us try Will, it is worth a shot, and it’s the only thing we can do. Time is not on our side here, she is down to less than two hours before all the serum in her body wears off. I can do nothing for her if she dies, not even venom will bring her back.” I could feel Will still clutching my hand, as he thought about it. I prayed he would let them try, he had to. I could not bear to be trapped in my body for the rest of my life. I would rather really be dead than un able to communicate with anyone. I could not imagine that, never speaking or moving being a prisoner for God only knows how long.
“You really think this will work?” Will said softly. I could see him through my eyes which were open just enough to see, but not enough for any of them to think I could actually see. He was not looking at them; he was staring at my hand deep in thought.
“Yes Will, I feel Xavier knows what would be best. He has studied the serum and vampire changes for longer than I have been on this earth. I know he would not advise me if he felt he might be wrong. He will be here tomorrow as well, he wants to assist us with Corrine’s recovery and handle Leo.”
“Do it then, do what you have to do if you can bring her back to me. I know she would want you to try whatever you could to keep her alive.” I felt him run his fingers along my cheek softly. “This is what she wants. I know that now, I can feel it.” I wished I could tell him I loved him, or blink anything to help ease the pain he was in. I could see he was hurting; his eyes were damp as he blinked back tears. “What do we do next, if we are running out of time, we have to do this now don’t we?”
“Yes, time is a major issue. I think we are about ready. The heart monitor is setup, and we are getting readings on it. I have the iv’s going and extra blood units.” Pratt rattled of the list of items he had. Doc was pre paring the extra blood units.
“Do we need shock paddles?” Sayann asked. I felt sick at the thought of that. I had only seen them used on E.R and Gray’s Anatomy, I never thought of having them used on me in real life.
“Yes, good thinking Sayann, we may need them if her heart is slow to get back on track with a steady pulse rate.” Pratt replied.
“I don’t want then used unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Doc quickly added.
“We most likely will not need then, but I want to be ready if we do.” I waited for them to begin, not knowing exactly how it would be done. I only knew they had to inject the serum in to my heart. I prayed I would not feel that. I had been numb this long; if it could only last a little bit longer through this, I would be happy.
“I will need all of you if and when she does wake up.” Pratt spoke again; I could hear him, as he was right next to me.
“What, why is that?” Libby asked.
“The last thing Corrine will remember as her body wakes is the very last thing that happened to her. I am thinking it will be when Todd bit her. That memory will not be a pleasant one for so she is very likely to fight us and rip out her IV’s.” I had trouble-believing Dr.Pratt. I knew where I was, and I definitely wasn’t going to freak out.
“ I will need all of you to help hold her down, in panic mode she will be very strong and try to get away from us, until I can get her to listen to me.”
“I will have to get through to her, and get her to calm down quickly, so she doesn’t throw herself into a heart attack.” I was shocked by that. There is no way; I could over power all of them. I was not going to fight anybody. I just wanted to wake
