Chapter 9 - 9 Drawing blood

The doctor set Ethan and Wen down at the table and pulled out two fresh needles from a drawer. The were covered in a clear blue plastic seal and smelled strongly of rubbing achohol.

Blue rubber gloves slapped against his skin when he pulled them on. He pilled out the first needle, swirling it in an achohal mixture before holding it up to eye level. Probably to cleanse it once more. His pale grey eyes gazed into Wen's honey brown ones. His voice came out oddly deep yet smooth, drawing in anyone who listened, "How do you feel about pain?"

"That depends on what type it is, doctor." Wen smirked, leaning in. "I can handle alot of pain."

Ethan watched this with a straight face but if you looked closely into his glowing yellow eyes you could sence his discomfort. His eye's seemed to say, 'Why does every thing that come out of your mouth sound so suggestive?'

He glanced at L, it seemed the other man didn't mind it so he decided to let it go, but not after sending an accusatory glance towards Wen.

The doctor pushed the needle into Wen's arm. Wen didn't even flinch, in fact, he looked directly at the needle as it pushed it's way into his skin and drew out the red warm liquid.

The needle was connected to a test tube that collected Wen's blood as it came through the thin needle. "You're sure you're not gonna drink this when nobody's looking?"

"Even if I did I'm sure you'd enjoy it." L's eye's were trained on the flow of blood coming out Wen's arm but he was still able to tease back. He pulled the needle out and layed it apon a paper towel. After cleaning Wen's skin and putting a bandage covered with smiley faces on the tiny hole he turned to Ethan.

He snapped on new gloves and pulled out the silver needle, stabbing it into Ethan's willing arm.

Kri-klling...

All three of them watched as the tip of the needle broke off and landed on the floor.

"Well... that's a waste of a perfectly good needle." Wen was the first to break the silence that befell them. He'd been playing with the smiley face bandage before he heard a cracking noise.

"S-Sorry..." Ethan managed to let out with his insides mangled.

"It's... ok" L scratched his nape. His lips were pushed into a straight line as he wrote something down on the notepad that the other two could guess.

•Hard/Invincible skin

"How will we get his DNA then?" Wen questioned. If his skin was to hard to let a needle in, then obviously they couldn't get blood. "Saliva, remember."

Wen nodded, watching L pull out a plastic covered cotton swab. L was reluctant, he didn't want to see the inside of Ethan's mouth again but there was no other choice. "Open your mouth."

Ethan opened it obediently. L put the cotton swab into his mouth but it melted into bubbling black clunks as soon as it touched the inside of Ethan's cheek. Both of the men moved away from Ethan.

"Maybe not that option either."

"Ya think?"

The doctor also wrote this down on the note pad as Ethan spat out the disintegrated cotton swab. His spit melted a hole into the floor that all three of them stared at in silence.

"Well, fu*k. Maybe keep your bodily juices inside your body."

"I'll gladly."

"Not right now, Wen. Totally not the time."

"Sorry." His tone wasn't fully apoligetic but it was the thought that counted.

"There must be some way."

"Isn't there something that could hold the acid spit?"

"We'd have to find out which PH level it is. Maybe a skin sample with a thick blade that won't break like a thin needle."

Ethan shivered at the thought, suddenly feeling his life being threatened as the two eye's gazed at him hungrily. Both of these men were inhuman phycopaths willing to do anything to experiment! Ethan just wanted to be normal, he didn't ask to die and be revived as a monster!

He was internally crying as he watched L clean a blade while Wen was tasked on rubbing an achohalic cotton ball on his arm. The grip on his arm was tight in Wen's hand and Wen's honey eye's started to look strangely preditorial in Ethan's mind. His mind was crisp yet foggy at the stench of rubbing achohal. Maybe he was finally starting to loose it.

"Calm down, I didn't cry when it was my turn. You'll be fine."

'Easy for you to say!' Ethan almost jumped out his skin. 'You didn't have a dull as* blade slicing your skin, you got a tiny little needle!'

Wen laughed at Ethan's horrified expression and patted the mans shoulder. "I'm just playing with ya, Wish ya the best."

The doctor came over and held Ethan's arm. Inspecting it before nodding. The blade slowly moved towards Ethan's skin and Ethan tried his best not to shrink back in fear, tensing up instead. 'This is assult! This is bulling! Someone save me!'

Instead of feeling pain he felt a warm touch pat on his cheek. "Calm down, I'll be fast, ok?"

A milky deep voice sounded in his ears and he found himself nodding before he could comprehend what the man said. He stared into the man's grey eyes, feeling enveloped in a sense of comfort. That was, before another voice broke him out of his bubble of comfort and the warm hand left his cheek, "I bet I could do it faster than you. You move like a snail."

"I'm trying to reassure him!"

"You can reassure him in bed later, sheesh." Wen turned away, the sass in his voice was evident. Ethans cheeks heated up and he heard Wen mutter something under the lines of "Love birds, unfair for single people like me". L rolled his eyes before slicing off a peice of Ethan's skin while he wasn't paying attention.

The pain Ethan felt didn't kick in until he saw a slab of his skin stuck to the blade along with pale yellow opaque liquid. It stung so badly that Ethan just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. "See? That wasn't so bad, right?"

'No! it was the worst pain I've ever felt in my whole entire life!' Ethan shouted in his head. He looked down at his arm in horror to see a pale yellow liquid coming out of it. 'Is that my blood? Why is it yellow?'

Wen was about to touch the yellow substance before 'Labcoat' slapped his hand away. "No touch!"

Labcoat took another needle and took a sample of blood that was pouring out Ethan's open wound. He looked at the liquid inside the tube with zeal. "Nice."

"Im really starting to believe your a vampire right now."
