ON the hospital, Rosalie was in the ER. The doctor examined her and blood was tapped from her for laboratory test.
Rosalie had to stay in the hospital for further examinations. Her urine and stool were examined.
Doctors examined and interviewed Rosalie. Later all the doctors that examined Rosalie agreed to a conclusion that Rosalie's case is PCT. Porphyria Cutanea Tarda.
Rosalie had a blood disorder that affected her skin. Her disorder was familial, this disorder runs in the family.
Rosalie was given medicines and a lot of vitamins. The doctor said if the medicines would not work, they will do further tests on her, for the meantime, she must avoid sunlight, as the doctor said she had the PCT or what the medical world also called the vampire disease.
DANIEL was shocked when he had to take Rosalie from the hospital home. The pretty face of Rosalie was full of blisters and some were already crusting and scarring.
Daniel tried his best not to let Rosalie saw his shock. He also even could not understand why Rosalie was discharged from the hospital at night.
"I was shocked to learn you were confined in the hospital," Daniel said to Rosalie as he was driving.
"Thank you for taking me home." Rosalie thanks, Daniel.
"I will do everything for you, you know that. What happened to you. Are you allergy, of something?" Daniel asked Rosalie.
"Yes and no," Rosalie answered Daniel.
"I don't understand. What do you mean by yes and no?" Daniel could not get what Rosalie meant by her answer.
"I had a disease, they called it PCT and I am allergic to sunlight," Rosalie told Daniel what she had.
"Oh, how come? You always had direct contact with sunlight and you never had those blisters. Why so sudden?" Daniel could not understand how it happened so suddenly. Daniel presumed then that the discharge from the hospital was on the night for Rosalie to avoid the sunlight.
"I don't know," short answer from Rosalie.
The car of Daniel stopped at the front door of Rosalie's house. Daniel quickly came out of the car and opened the door of the car where Rosalie sat and he helped her.
"I'll bring you inside." Daniel wanted to help Rosalie until inside her house.
"No, it's not necessary. I can manage. I am not that sick. I only have blisters that's all." Rosalie said to Daniel.
"Okay." And Daniel kissed Rosalie softly on her lips. "Have a good sleep, you need it."
"Thank you, Daniel."
"Good night, Sweetie!" and Daniel came back to his car to drove farther into his house.
Rosalie opened her front door and did the lights on. Before she closed the door, she looked around the house and was relieved there's nothing noticeable.
Rosalie went directly to her bedroom and was surprised, the little night lamp on the side table near her bed was on. She saw Queen Riza sitting on her bed.
"Where are you, I am worried." Queen Riza greeted Rosalie with a question.
"I was confined in the hospital for one day and one night," Rosalie answered Queen Riza.
"Hospital, what is that?" Queen Riza doesn't know what a hospital is.
"Hospital is where sick people were attended," Rosalie answered.
"You were sick?" Queen Riza asked.
"You do not see, look!" Rosalie came near to Queen Riza and let her see her face,
"What happened to your face, you look ugly!" Queen Riza was surprised to see the face of Rosalie.
"The sun damage it, my skin could not bear sunlight!"
"Oh, No!" Queen Riza exclaimed. "That could not be true!"
"It is true. You see what the sunlight had done to my face, my arms, and my legs. I could not do anymore my work as a city steward." Rosalie said.
"It will be cured! Don't worry about it." Queen Riza assured Rosalie that what she had could be cured.
Rosalie changed her clothes and when she had her pajama on, she heard the door opened and closed.
"Prince Suryabhan!" Queen Riza said. "Come, sit here with me."
Rosalie sits near Queen Riza and they waited to watch the door of her bedroom. Indeed, after a while it opened, Prince Suryabhan as Martin had two young women with him. The women seemed trance that they even did not notice Rosalie who was sitting on the bed. They just walked with Prince Suryabhan into the mirror.
"They were the sixth and the seventh that entered the mirror." Queen Riza said.
"You mean already seven women had entered the mirror? What will he do with all the women?"
"You do not have to ask it; you know already the answer. We are vampires Eliazora! But I do not like he made himself busy with those women." Queen Riza answered Rosalie that she doesn't have to ask. Rosalie already knew because they were vampires.
"Can you not stop him?" Rosalie asked Queen Riza if she cannot stop Prince Suryabhan.
"I cannot stop him; I had no power on him!" Queen Riza replied that she cannot stop Prince Suryabhan. "But you, you could stop him!"
"Me? How could I stop him?" Rosalie asked Queen Riza how she could stop Prince Suryabhan.
"I'll tell it to you later, not now!" Queen Riza was not fully decided yet if she would tell Rosalie what she must do to stop Prince Suryabhan.
Because of her sickness, Rosalie was on sick leave. Her doctor said she was not capable to do her job yet.
To avoid direct contact with sunlight, Rosalie just stayed home. Daniel would come along to look how she was, but he did not stay long. He was busy with his work.
The team of detectives was puzzled. The homeless man who was prisoned as everyone thought he was the one who killed his friend, was really convincing about a woman that was there in the square when the crime happened. Roger whom Daniel was partnered with let seen the homeless man, photos of several women, and he emphatically recognized the photo of Rosalie as the woman who was there when the crime happened. Daniel had a dilemma. *To be continued* Remy Dorio
