Status: Awkward 3 year hiatus is over. Probs lost all my readers. RIP. Comment or something if you want this ongoing :)
365 Days.
336.
My eyes fly open,
my mouth feels dry.
I get up,
stumbling about the room in the darkness,
till I finally find a switch and flick it on.
I’m trembling.
It’s cold.
It’s freezing actually.
I’m covered all in goose bumps,
yet I’m sweating all over too.
My heart beats countless miles a second,
my mind is foggy,
dull and slow.
My teeth chatter insanely as I walk out,
heading downstairs to the kitchen,
where I turn the kettle on,
and wait for the water to boil.
I glance at the time.
Two in the morning.
Jesus.
It’s cold.
It’s dark.
It’s quiet.
Only the chattering of my teeth interrupts the silence.
There’s a soft ding as the kettle finishes boiling the water.
I grab a cup and pour the hot water in,
add some cooler water so I don’t burn myself,
and drink it.
The rest of the water I add to the hot water bottle and press it against myself.
I’m still sweating,
It’s hot but I’m freezing.
I bump into something,
and something crashes onto the floor.
In a flash,
the lights are on,
blinding me.

A moment later,
Magnus appears.
“Sir,”
he looks genuinely surprised.
“Is everything okay?”

I shake my head,
teeth still chattering,
“I’m c-cold,
Magnus,”
I stammer.

Magnus,”

He frowns slightly before walking over,
and places a hand on my forehead.
He pulls it back after a few seconds.
“Go to bed,
you’re awfully hot.
I’ll get you something,
and call the doctor.”

The doctor sighed,
standing and moving away from my bed.
“Has he been doing anything lately,
that would stir him up?
His fever was high when I arrived,
a little more
and I would have had to send him to the emergency in the hospital.
His night sweats are coming back again,
his blood pressure is unsteady.
Keep an eye on him,
he’s weak right now.”

I hear dad reply something,
but I’m too drugged to properly even think.
Everything is blurry…
I feel something touch my leg,
and smile,
“Mother.”
Her face appears right above mine,
her soft smile angelic.
“Mother,”
I say again,
looking at it with my own smile.
“Are you here to take me?”
She shakes her head and retreats,
Vanishing from my vision.
Everything darkens for a moment,
And the last words I hear are from the doctor,
somber but at the same time expressionless.

It’s evening when I awake again,
opening my eyes to see the outside,
dark.
Evening.

“Sir,
how are you feeling?”
Magnus’s concerned voice startles me lightly.

Magnus’s concerned voice startles me lightly.
I look over and smile at him,
“I feel a bit better,”
I reply and frown at the lack of energy I have.
I’m too tired to even frown.

Magnus moved over,
touches me lightly,
“Hush,
don’t move.
I’ll bring you something to eat,
but rest,
you are weak.”
