April 6th

Life so far was going by in a daze. Really I don’t know where to start. Truthfully we didn’t know what was going on with her. She had been sleep for most of the day. Hardly even speak or drinking anything. The only time I saw her up was when she had to rush to the bathroom to throw up. Not a pretty sight to see. Ruby on the other hand was doing fairly well. Her birthday was going to start soon but even that didn’t make the day feel any better. I wanted my best friend back. Not only that, I wanted my wife back. I kept calling the doctor to see if there was anything they could find. All I got was a voice called back saying they were busy. It was really annoying. Thankfully I had a friend still….Rick. I still glad he was still around. I didn’t know what to do without him. He truly is a great friend to have.

I was downstairs dealing with my emotions. Rick there trying to help me. Ruby started to cry so I went upstairs and took care of her. I knew something was very wrong. Is my wife going to die? That thought seem to hang in my head for a while longer. My thoughts thinking so badly that I couldn’t even know what to do. Rick told me I need to go out. He would not let me stay in the house. I decided I would try and see the doctor. At least see if they found anything.

I took the car and headed out. I rush as fast as I could to the hospital. I parked the car and headed inside. I asked the lady at the desk if I could see the doctor. I didn’t tell her I wasn’t sick. She gladly make me wait in the waiting room. When the doctor came out, he was bit surprise to see me but knowing I wouldn’t stop until he tell me something, he let me in his office. We spend a good few hours in his office. I asked many question of how she got the bite to the point if my wife would still be alive. He asked most of the questions but others he couldn’t tell me just yet. He told me that he was check out the blood to see if something happening with her system. He thought the bite could be from a snaked but even he wasn’t 100% sure if that was right. After feeling a little better, I went to the park. There I listen to the sounds of birds and thought about my wife. It was really getting hard. I started to cry thinking my life would be over if anything happen to her.

~~

Chris was really having a hard time about how Scarlet was doing. She would be in and out to the restroom. She won’t talk or even tell us what was going on. I didn’t blame her for not feeling well. She been sleeping for the past two days. I spend a lot of time trying to get Chris to feel better. I was at the point where he just need to get out of the house. I wasn’t trying to be mean about it but I knew in my heart that he need a break. He was going ragged thinking of her all the time. I sure would be doing the same if I was in his shoes. Still he left going out to do whatever he wanted to know. He told me that he would see the doctor to find some stuff out. Then he would be at the park for a little while. It was fine with me. I took care of little Ruby. Her birthday will be tomorrow but I spend all the time with her. I just hope Scarlet was well enough to be there for her.

I headed outside to the garden. I place Ruby softly on a blanket next to me that way I could keep watch of her. I watered the plants and took care of some weeding. I even got time to enjoy the fresh air while holding Ruby. Ruby is a sweet little girl. She seem to have a heart of pure gold. I really enjoy being close to her. She seem to know she was safe and fall softly to sleep in my arms. I place her back in the crib. Decided to see how Scarlet was doing. Boy was I in of a shock of my life. I stood there not knowing what to do. I gave Chris a call and he came over as fast as he could.

Chris stood there as well not sure what to do. We just watch as Scarlet a really loud scream. It was like someone punching you over and over again until you couldn’t take it anymore. We were scared and worried that she was about to die. Chris called the doctors and felt his sadness flow into me. That I too started to cry a little.

~~

I was very weak this past two days. I couldn’t talk or tell Chris I loved him. I couldn’t thanked Rick a million times over for all the stuff he done for us. I was sick. Really sick. Sicker then I ever thought I could get sick. I was always in the bathroom. Just throwing up and feeling like my life was out of me. I felt my body shake and curl up like a ball. I wanted to cry. I just wanted to die but in my heart I didn’t want too. I felt so weird. It felt like my body was dying but yet I was still alive. How could that happen? I honestly didn’t know. I couldn’t even hold Ruby without feel weak or tired. Something didn’t feel right. I just slept it off hoping things would get better soon but it didn’t.

I felt Chris and Rick coming in and out of my room. Then I got up real fast. No…not to throw up but I stood with a lot of pain flowing in my veins. Chris called the doctor. Rick stood there with tearful eyes. Chris then cried as well. I didn’t know what else to do because the pain was too much for me to handle. I just screamed in pain before I felt myself be lifted in the air. I am going to die and go to heaven? All I felt was rush faster then you could say Hello and Goodbye. Next thing I knew was my teeth felt really weird. Chris and Rick fast were like they say a ghost.

I somehow managed to get into the bathroom and look into the mirror. What I saw was not me? What I saw looked like a sick monster ready to pounce out and get me? No. This…This can’t be mean. It just…can’t be me but it was me. It was me looking in the mirror. Scared, confused and not well. My skin was pale. Paler then I thought would be and my eyes, well they were dark red eyes I ever saw that gave almost an evil glow. I wanted to scream but I force myself not too. All I could do was stare. All I knew was….was that I am now a Vampire.

Dear Journal,        April 4th

In the morning Chris and I took Ruby in the hospital like the doctor said. The doctor check Ruby to see how she was doing. I didn’t sleep very well but did my best to be there. Chris and I were waiting in the waiting room before the Doctor came in to see us. I was nervous but wasn’t sure what was going on. If Ruby would make it or if we lose another daughter. That thought really made me worried. I didn’t want to lose another. I at a point where I thought I never be a mother. Special since of what happen the last time. I look up and thought it was odd how the doctor was looking at us. At first I wasn’t sure what to think of it.

Then he told us that everything was fine. It looked like Ruby fought off whatever came in her and that everything will be fine. I was really thankful that nothing was going on with Ruby. They did a few more test and then we headed straight home. At home, Chris took Ruby to her crib and I went to bed to rest a little more. Chris talked to Rick what the doctors had said. They talked for a long time. I got up when the baby cried. I feed her, change her and gave her lots of love. She is a beautiful baby. I love holding her and feel so much love from her. She made me feel good. She made me work hard and I felt great being with her.

I headed outsides and felt the breeze hitting my skin. Besides it being a day since I gave birth to Ruby, I felt really good. I then told Rick and Chris that I was going into town. They were a bit surprise but telling them that I was feeling pretty fine. They didn’t say anything more. Rick was out in the garden taking care of the plants. Chris decided to read the newspaper while he listen to see if Ruby needed anything.  I slowly walked out on the path. The same path I been on many times before. It was nice out. Besides it feeling a little cold since it was evening time before I headed into town. I had a basket with me ready to get some more fruits and vegetables. My mind was thinking about many different things as I was on the path. Not really thinking of what will happen from this.

In town. I met a few of my friends and neighbors who were out. We talked a while and they asked me about the baby. I told them that everyone will be fine and soon they will meet her. They were excited and I was happy for them to meet Ruby soon. I headed into the grocery store to get some fruits and vegetables. I then went to the bookstore before I saw a few more people I knew. We talked for a while and noticing it was getting a little dark out, said “goodbye” to my friends. Then I headed back into the path. If I thought of it now, I would of told Chris or Rick to get me but I didn’t think of it.

I was walking quietly, listening to the wind blow gently on me and looking at some pretty flowers as I walked by. I stop for a moment to smell one when I felt someone was watching me. I started to walk a little fast but then I felt it getting closer and closer. I  then ran faster but it was right behind me. It hot breath down my neck and I froze. I couldn’t move at all.

Then the thing spoke, “Hello beautiful creature. Where are you off so fast for?”

I felt it hand slowly touch my hair and I was breathing really hard. I couldn’t speak. I tired but nothing was coming out. From this the thing or person, whatever it was came closer to me. I tried to run but it was too fast and help me close to it. His breath was on my neck and I felt scared. Am I getting jumped or robbed? Whatever the case I didn’t know what else to do. I was getting really nervous.

It said, “You smell nice. This won’t hurt a bit.”

Before I knew what it met by that, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I then scream and somehow past out. As my eyes slowly closing, I saw that he was leaving on the ground. I couldn’t tell what it was but I fell into a deep dark sleep.

~~

I hard a really loud noise coming from the woods. I got up and slowly went into the path. I walked a little ways until I saw Scarlet laying there. I was daze with what just happen. I came rushing to her and bent down to see how she was doing. She was still breathing but saw she got a mark on her neck. It look like a snake bite but I couldn’t tell. I picked up the fruits and vegetables. I rush into the house and place them on the table. Chris looked up and notice that I had the basket it but didn’t see Scarlet. He got up and asked me what was going on. Where Scarlet was and everything. I told him that she was on the ground and that she was bitten but I’m not sure what bite her. I told him that I would stay and watch Ruby while he go get Scarlet in.

I headed upstairs and watch Ruby. At least nothing bad happen to you. I snuggle her and she felt really nice. She just look up at me and wondering what was going on. I softly whisper that your mommy will be ok. She be ok. She be ok. O I hope she will be ok. Tears was slowly flowing down my face and I found myself holding my knees after I put Ruby back in the crib. I don’t know what I will leave with the fact that she will be gone. She is and always will be my best friend.

~~

Rick came rushing into the house and held the basket in his hands. I got up from my newspaper and asked him what happen. He told me what was going on. My heart was giving out and I didn’t know what to do. I just ran outside after Rick told me that he would watch Ruby. Thank goodness nothing happen to Ruby but I still worried about Scarlet. I ran as fast as I could. There she was still laying there. I picked her up and then carefully bought her back in the house. I place her on the bed and wrap her up with blankets. I then called the doctor and asked him to come over as soon as he could. I was really worried about her but I didn’t know what to do.  I sat on the chair and waited to see when the doctor would show off. It seems like hours, days, weeks, months and years before the doctor finally showed up. I went to the door and answered it. He came in and went upstairs. I showed him where Scarlet was at.

Rick came out of Ruby’s room and stared at me. He asked me if she would be ok but I didn’t know. I just told him that I wasn’t sure. We both stood there and waited to see what the doctor would say. He checked on her and looked to see what was going on. He saw that there were some bite marks on her neck but she was still alive. I was bless for that but I didn’t know when she would wake up. He told us that there wasn’t much for him to do but that she needed to sleep it off. Once she get over the attack she should be fine but he would have to do some test. He agreed that he won’t take her to the hospital but that he would come everyday to see if she would be ok. I nodded and then he left. He was going to the lab to do some test to see what was going on. I was worried. I didn’t know what to do. Since I never saw Scarlet look like this. I was worried but there was nothing I could do. I just went into the guest room and started to cry myself to sleep. There weren’t really much I could do.

~~

 April 5th

I woke up not really feeling the greatest. The thoughts and feelings of last night really haunted me. I couldn’t really sleep. All I did was watch over Ruby and made sure she was fine. I kept wondering what was going on with Scarlet. Chris was at her side most of the night but slept in the guest room because he couldn’t take much of seeing her like that. She was still sleep. I worried she wouldn’t get anything to drink or eat but somehow I didn’t worry about that but the fact that she wasn’t up yet. I hope whatever going on she get better soon.

I decided to go out in the garden. It was a place I always like going too. Specially on times like this. I did my best not to think about her but it was hard. I didn’t like what was going on but there wasn’t much I could do. We saw the doctor once that day but he didn’t give us much of information of what was going on. All I felt was sadness in Chris’s eyes and I felt really bad. I pulled the weeds really hard to the point that I made my hands bleed.

I went insides the house and clean my hands. Chris and I talked for a while. We didn’t know at the time that Scarlet was slowly waking up but at the time we didn’t want to bother her. We headed upstairs and went into the room a little while later. When we saw her, we were surprise and over joyed that she was wake. She gave us a small smile but then she felt a little sick and had to rush to the bathroom. We took care of her and made sure she didn’t do too much. She then went back to sleep because she didn’t feel well. I check on Ruby and then went to bed.

~~

I was feeling really depressed. I mean really depressed. I didn’t want to eat or drink anything but I had too if I wanted to stay alive for my wife, my love, Scarlet. Even her name seem to make me feel sad. I felt weak and felt so tired. I didn’t go to work. I told them that some stuff was going on with my wife and they understood. I didn’t care if I worked or not. I mainly slept in the guest room because I couldn’t deal with what was going on with my wife. Ruby would cry and I would take care of her. I think she felt something was up but I couldn’t tell. She was still a baby and not knowing what was going on. She kept me going even if I didn’t want too.

I got something to drink. I still wouldn’t eat anything. Rick didn’t force me to do anything. He was just as upset as I was. We were all to school together. Laughing and enjoy each other company. He was there for me and help me to understand that she really liked me. While he did the same for her. I was glad to have my best friend but it was hard on both of us. I watch some TV or read the newspaper. I didn’t feel like doing anything else. I watch Rick a little working in the garden. He hurt his hand while gardening but took care of his wounds. We talked for a while. We didn’t know that Scarlet would be up.

Then we went up to see how she was doing. She been sleeping a lot lately. Not drinking or eating. I didn’t know if it was good thing or not. We saw the doctor once but he didn’t say much. He couldn’t tell what was going on. Still taking some test and telling us he would be back tomorrow. It felt like a waste to me. He not even doing his job, I thought to myself but we went into the room. When we saw that she was wake. I was surprise and didn’t know what to do. I just sat down next to her and held her close. Rick came by and gave her a hug and he was off. I was there with her. She didn’t feel good. She kept going to the bathroom. We took it slow when it came to food and water. She then went back to sleep. I was worried she won’t wake up but I knew she would be fine.

I laid down next to her and kept her close to me. I kiss your forehead before I went to sleep. Whispering softly in her ear, I love you Scarlet. She softly whisper back saying, I love you too Chris.

~~

Well guys! I hope you like this chapter. Again I’m sorry this is late. I will try and keep going again. I just dealing with different things but I promise I will keep going on for them. Well I hope you like it. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Journal Entry 7

Dear Journal,        April 3rd

There has been so much happen Journal that I’m not sure where to begin. I guess I will start at the beginning. April 1st was a really interesting day. Fill with lots of pranks and funniness throughout the day. Rick and Chris would tease each other about random things. We got fooled by the newspaper people thinking they wouldn’t deliver the newspaper anymore but got a note saying April Fools. Which some people got really upset about. However we took it well and just laugh about it.

Of course I wasn’t really feeling well which is why this Journal about April Fools day was so late. I had been go to the restroom for most of the day. I don’t think you need to know why but seem as if I can’t hold anything in. I started to get worried about it at first. Since I normally never get sick much. Chris and Rick seem to get a little worried as well. Since they were pretty much hearing what was coming out. Chris pull me to the side and ask me to go see a doctor. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to see a doctor but I being that I can’t hold anything in, I decided to go see the doctor.

Chris was going to take me but I told him that I could take care of it myself. I didn’t really want him to go to find out what the problem was. Maybe I was worried that me being “pregnant” again. I mean sure my head was telling me that it was crazy and that maybe I had some flue going on but my heart wasn’t so sure on it. I didn’t want to make things worse. Chris didn’t fight about it either. He told me to be careful and that he would see me soon. Rick was told me the same when I went out to the garden to tell him that I was going to see the doctor. He watch me go and then went back to work.

I drove all the way to see the doctors. I was really nervous as well. Since the last time I saw the doctor was dealing with my eyes and not getting help with them. This was a different problem but somehow I never really felt comfortable about seeing the doctor. I’m not sure why. It could be the fact that I went to them a lot when I was younger. I always never liked going to be “check” on. Finally I came to the parking lot and parked. I sent a text to Chris letting him know I made it and that I was going inside. He text me back before I got out of the car to tell me what I found out as soon as I could. I took a deep breath and went inside. There was the same lady who pointed me where my doctor was. I told her that I was seeing a doctor today. She nodded and told me that the doctor wanted to see me. I follow in the room before we began our little talk.

“Hello Ruby. How are you doing today? Did you come to ask about your eyes again?”

“No. It’s not about my eyes but something else.”

“I see what may be the problem then.”

I told him that I been well throwing up and not able to hold anything in. He told me that he was going to take a few test and then see what the problem is. I was really nervous. First they poked me with a needle to see how my blood is doing. Then they asked me to well go into the bathroom for the next test to work. I did what they told me and handed what he needed back. I then waited in his room for a long time and wondering what was taking so long. Finally the doctor came in the room and an interesting look on his face. There was a few whispers that I couldn’t make out as the doctor was slowly coming in. All I could hear was “I see or Interesting” and then he came in before I could ask what he was talking about.

He sat on his desk chair and then said, “Well I have some interesting news to tell you. It seem that you are indeed pregnant.”

I thought he would say April Fools your not pregnant. Your just sick with a flue but we were quiet for a long time. Finally I broke the silence and asked if I was really “pregnant.” He nodded his head yes and I was feeling a little scared about it. He went on to tell me that he could understand the worry I have but to just take better care of myself. I was not sure what else to say but then again I was a little hopefully this time around it will make it. I look down at my stomach not yet showing a bump and gave it a soft little rub. I then thanked the doctors and headed home.

I decide that I won’t tell Chris anything until I got inside the house. Once I made it home, Chris greeted me with a warm kiss and hug. Rick just stood back looking pretty nervous to find out what was going on with me. Finally we all went into the living room and decided to make a April Fools joke about it at first. I told them that I wasn’t pregnant that I was sick with the flue. Chris face was looking very sad but then I quickly said, “April Fools, I am pregnant!”

Both of them gave me a funny look but then jump up and down. They were both excited for me and hugged me tightly. Then I started feeling a lot better and getting more. Did as much as I could as the doctor had told me to do. I even read more about vampires and found out that their flue was called a Vampire Flue. I wrote an email to the guy and he told me, he heard of it once. I told him about other things and he even congrats to us both. I was still pretty nervous but the feeling of being pregnant again was really nice. Rick and Chris were there all the step of the way for me.

~~

The time of the baby to be born was getting closer and I started to having a hard time walking. I was mainly bed ridden for a while. Chris would give me some meals in bed and Rick would tell me how the garden would look. Since I could no longer be able to see it. When the time came, the water broke and Chris took me to the Hospital. Rick stay home to take care of the garden and to make sure the house was safe. It was nice of him. Chris was in the waiting for while I was to give birth. I was in labor for a good 6 hours before the baby was born. We had a little girl and we named her Ruby. The doctors notice that her eyes were going grey and I worried that she won’t make it through the night but somehow she did. The doctors let me hold her since she was doing much better. Chris and I stay the night at the hospital. The doctor was checking on Ruby while I did my best to get some sleep. Chris stay up but grew tired and went to bed. We were both nervous but in the early morning, he told us that she was fine to go home now.  Chris took Ruby and I in the car, then we headed home. Once we were at home, Rick came to greet the baby and was very excited for us. I went upstairs to rest. While Rick and Chris took sometime with the baby. Ruby was a pretty little girl. She had my looks and smile but a little of Chris in her as well.

Chris then came in with me and smile softly. He played with my hair for a little while and then rest by myself. Rick came in and out while Ruby was up to take care of us. Giving us a little break to take care of ourselves. That night we had a lovely meal and enjoy each other company. I have a feeling that Ruby will do just fine. However the doctor would like to see her the next day to see how she is doing. We then went to bed wondering what tomorrow would bring and how special our little Ruby really is. I love you, Ruby, my little one. Goodnight and sleep well I told her. She just gave me a sweet smile before falling asleep. Then Chris and I went to bed.
