"...Beep Beep Beep..."
That was all I could hear. I thought I was dead, but something was off.
As soon as I opened my eyes, thoughts started running through my head, "A dream? After life?"
"Another ceiling that I don't recognize. Don't tell me that a beautiful girl saved me again."
I heard a girl, but it wasn't Nora's voice, she was calling to someone, "Doctor, Doctor! Special Patient Woke up!"
"Special Patient...? Don't tell me I'm in a hospital... Right, Right, where else could I be?"
I was exhausted and hungry. I had no motivation to talk, "As far as I remember, I jumped from the... 6th floor I think? How did I even survive?" These were the thoughts in my head.
I could hear someone coming closer to me. No..., I wasn't hearing it, I was somehow feeling it.
And then, someone entered the room. "Hello There! Decided to wake up, huh?" Said the man who looked like a Doctor, he was in his... 50's, 60's?
No words came out of my mouth. "How are you feeling?... It's so dark in here, I'll open the curtains. Don't worry."
But I immediately shouted as soon as I heard him say it, "DON'T DO IT!" I didn't want to burn all over again.
But he opened it without listening to me. "Huh, what's wrong? Sunlight will help you recover." Said him, confused by what I said.
I thought I was going to burn there, feel the pain that I felt, every single party of my body just burning and burning without end, from my toes to my head, but it didn't. In fact, nothing happened.
I was confused, "how did the sun not burn me? And how am I even alive? I remember very well that as soon as I stepped on the balcony, the sun burned my whole body and that I committed suicide, and now all of a sudden I just wake up at this hospital totally fine and the sun doesn't affect me?"
"I guess not everything is normal, I... I could somehow feel the Doctor walking in the hall and reaching the door..."
The Doctor came near me and sat down on a chair. "So, how are you feeling?" asked him while he was measuring my pulse with a gadget he had placed on my heart.
I replied, forcing myself to talk, "Uhm, I'm feeling tired and hungry."
The Doctor placed the gadget away, "Luckily for you, your heart is beating just fine."
I was really confused, "My heart is beating fine? Perhaps it was just a dream." I thought to myself.
But, I could feel it again, someone else was coming to the room, a woman. "Doctor, here it is the special patient's lunch."
They were acting weird, "Why do they keep calling me special Patient...?"
The Doctor then received the table with the food and told the woman to leave the room. "Thank you, you can go now."
He gave me the table. It was rice and some fried chicken. "Here you go, make sure to eat everything. I'm sure you are going to feel better after that."
I thanked him with a smile, "Thank you doctor, also I was just wondering... How long have I been sleeping for?" I asked him with curiosity while I was starting to eat a bit of rice.
He looked at me with a weird face. "Sleep? I don't know if you can say it like that. You've just been off for some hours."
Something was off. "What... Really?" No, it wasn't for the sleep part, sleeping didn't care about that, it was that... "Uhm... Was this rice well made?" Said I, while I was making a weird face, wanting to throw up.
He replied "Yes, we have some very good certified chefs here. What's the problem?"
The rice was awful, I couldn't eat it. "Is this thing really rice? Let me try the chicken..." I thought to myself.
As soon as I ate the first piece of the chicken, I couldn't hold it, it didn't taste like food, it was like I was eating... vomit. I threw up on the floor. It was horrible. I hadn't thrown up in a long time.
The Doctor quickly became worried about me. "Hey! What's going on? Do you like rice and chicken...? Don't worry, I'll bring you some water."
Without any hesitation, I grabbed his clothes from his back as he turned around to get the water, "Wait... Don't go yet... There's still... one more thing." Said I, looking directly at his neck.
As I got up from bed, at that moment, I realized that the hunger that I had wasn't from food, it was from... human blood.
I opened my mouth and four of my teeth started to grow and get sharp... The Doctor had fallen on the ground, terrified. "Wha-what... are yo-you doing...? GET AWAY FROM ME!"
I had an intense urge to bite his neck and suck the whole blood out of his body. It felt like I hadn't eaten for days...
I couldn't hold it anymore, it just looked so... delicious. I got near him and grabbed his hair.
My eyes turned red, and I went to his neck, "GET... GET AWAY FROM ME!" without listening to him, I bit it, and started to suck his blood.
My idea was to just feed a little bit, "AHH! STOP!" but... It was so addicting, I couldn't stop.
And suddenly, his noises just stopped, as well as his breathing and colour. There wasn't any blood left in his body, he was dead.
When I realized that I had killed him, I dropped him. The red eyes, the urge to suck blood and the hunger were gone. The only thing left was regret.
I was scared, "what have I... what have I done? Did I...? Did I just kill someone?" Was what I said while I looked at his blood that was on my mouth through my fingers with a shocking face.
I felt people running to my room, "Was that Doctor Brenner's Scream? Let's check if everything is fine."
I had to get away, "Shit Shit, what do I do..." I quickly made a cut on his neck with a knife, so they wouldn't see the biting marks. I left the body there and got out of there through the window.
I was faster than before, way faster. I saw a sewer near the hospital. I decided to go there since I was desperate because I opened the. cover and I went down the ladder.
I was totally scared of what I had just happen. "How... how did this happen?"
My breathing was heavy. "Yesterday, I was a normal guy, then I became a Vampire, got my whole body burned out in the sun, then jumped out of the 6th floor, woke up in the hospital and..."
Tears started to go down my face. " I... I killed someone" As I looked at my hands with blood in my mouth. "I killed someone with dreams, a family, friends..."
I got down on my knees and placed both my hands on my head. "I... Why am I here? Why didn't I die when I jumped from the balcony? Why...? Why was I even born?"
Tears kept going down my face, "I guess... If my parents saw this, they wouldn't want me as their son... Who would accept me?"
The tears eventually stopped. "Since the moment I was born, I've been, just... A big tragedy. Sorry mom, dad, I promised to never give up on life... but... I don't think I can do it. Sorry, I failed you both."
"I should have died instead of you two."
"It should've been me."
