At first, Nadine was understandably confused.
She wasn't feeling sick at all. She never even got those… what do humans call them again..? The sniffles.
By any real metric, she was the perfect picture of vampire health and there wasn't a thing wrong with her.
So when she started to connect the dots a bit, she realized that Malachi could only be talking about one particular ailment of hers.
And she was immediately mortified.
She looked past him at Aisha who was still trying not to throw up as she floated around in the dark void.
"Y-You told her..?" Nadine's brittle voice was reminiscent of her spirit. Her eyes were already watering.
"H-How could you tell her, you promised me that you wouldn't tell any-"
"I didn't tell her anything." Malachi insisted. "I just told her that you needed help, and it was the only thing I wanted for a birthday gift."
Nadine had calmed down, but not my much.
"M-Malachi, I don't think I want this. I-I just want to go home, please."
