Nyri slowly flickered her eyes open, her head aching softly. The sedative had worn off sometime in the last hour and she whimpered, then looked around the place quietly. The room was deserted; Zelus fast asleep nearby and all the other patients in separate rooms. A nurse was taking a vial of blood from Zelus, Patient 1, and suddenly she lifted the vial to her lips and drank it down. Nyri watching all of this with a horrified expression. She tried to sit up and winced at the restraints, then screamed. "ZELUS! ZELUS, GET UP! PLEASE! WE HAVE TO GO!" she yelled, trying to slip out of the restraints. The nurse turned its head, eyes glowing black. A second later, the creature was at her side and biting into her neck. Nyri fell still, the venom on the thing's teeth forcing her into another long nap. She shuddered, felt someone hooking her up to life support, then slipped further into the sickly sweet black.
