Chapter 5
Dear nonexistent diary,
So… update on the cellmate situation, I think she got stabbed at some point and was hiding it because she’s injured and I don’t know what to do and I think she’s not doing all that great and it’s kind of scary. I don’t want her to die. She needs to not die so we can have an awesome friendship and be cellmates and things.
Actually, just friends and cellmates, but you get the point. She can’t die now! But I don’t know what to do about it which is stupid and probably not really good considering my tendency toward treasonous activities but I normally have medical supplies with me! Or at least I have someone who has medical supplies with me! So, like, I don’t know how to treat a stab wound with next to nothing in a prison cell. That’s not something I’ve had to deal with before!
So yeah, I'm kinda freaking out. Just a little. Help.
Um… maybe the vampire could help me? He knows about, like, blood and things, right? Being a vampire? And, like, specifically how much blood loss is healthy? I mean, that's, like, no blood loss, but do I need to be worried? Will she be okay?
Actually, will he want to eat her if he knows she's bleeding? He can't, right? He's stuck in his cell and we're stuck in ours. But would he actually help me?
Worth a shot, right?
I'm going to throw one of my rocks at my energy shield and see if the noise wakes him up.
This is totally not a bad idea.
Um. Okay. He like jumped up when I did that. What do I do now?
Now he's looking at me.
Shit.
This was a bad idea, wasn't it?
Well. No going back now.
I'm going to ask him.
He's looking at me like I'm a cute child, which, rude, I'm fifteen, but at least he's not looking at me like I'm food, so that's good, I guess.
Prison-mates are friends, not food.
Oh. Okay. I think he actually knows what he's doing. That's good. And brings up more questions than answers, but at the moment I don't care. I just don't want my new cellmate to die.
She's very pretty.
No. Not productive thoughts.
Okay. My hands are shaking, and my cellmate is pretty and possibly dying, and the vampire in the other cell possibly wants to adopt me but is also helping me save my cellmate's life.
This is fine.
