The dwarf ran over, barging the door open and kneeling down next to his friend and shaking him.
"Xephos! Xephos wake up friend! Xephos!"
By this point both Lalna and Ridge had noticed the dwarf running panicked to the shack and had made their way over as well. Ridge knelt down and felt the spaceman's pulse, the usual rushed heartbeats. He breathed a sigh of relief. He was alive.
"Get him up." He said and watched as the other two pulled the spaceman up, propping him against the bed.
"Ridge he was fine a minute ago, what's happening?" The dwarf asked.
"My best guess is that the vampire saw that he was recovering and decided to try and fight against him... He hit his head when he fell." The reaper answered, brushing his fingers over the bleeding scrape on the spaceman's forehead. "He lost consciousness. He should be fine..." He said, before moving his fingers back over the mark. They glowed with a slight white light and the scrape was almost completely gone, just a little scratch.
"Thank Notch..." The dwarf breathed, sitting back and rubbing his eyes. "I thought something was wrong..."
"Well... I didn't say everything was alright." Ridge answered, also sitting down. "We should stay here until he wakes back up."
"What did you mean? Everything's alright isn't it?" Lalna asked. "You just healed him..."
"For the most part... If he was normal I would have been able to heal him more than I did. I admit, due to his space cells I can never fully heal him, but I should be able to heal him more than I just did. That and the fact that he got so effected by the vampire shows that... The beast isn't going to give up without a fight... And a big one at that." The reaper explained.
"Oh... God." Honeydew said, resting his head back against the dresser that was in the shack.
"Xephos is strong. He can fight it. The fact that his heart rate is the same proves that even while unconscious he can still fight against the vampire. He's still going strong. And he has us here to keep him fighting fit. OK?"
The dwarf nodded, and then sat up as the spaceman coughed, slowly opening his eyes.
"Hey buddy!" He said, sitting forward and smiling at the spaceman.
"Uhhh... My head..." Was the answer, as the brunette put a hand to his head. "I feel sick..." He stated, looking around dizzily.
"Perfectly normal, that happens more than you think when you hit your head." Ridge stated.
"Its a response that usually happens when we get migraines, so a hit on the head basically works the same way." Lalna added.
The spaceman looked around a bit before starting to stand up. The scientist and reaper steadied him as he threatened to fall back over, and then slowly let go so that he could stand on his own. His legs were shaky, but they supported him. He raised a hand to his head, feeling the mark where he had fell and hissing at the bruise that had risen slightly.
"I feel like shit..." He said, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm sorry Xephos." Ridge said. The whole group looked around to him, shocked.
"W...what?"
"This is my fault. Like Honeydew said, I know all of the stuff you've been through. I should have known you'd volunteer to take this curse and I should have known to say no. I'm sorry."
"Ridge I offered because I know I can do this... Not to make anyone feel bad. I can do this..."
"Xephos, you are... Literally like a brother to me. If anything happened, I wouldn't forgive myself. I had my doubts when I first did this to you. Usually I'd just do the switch and leave it like that, but... I stopped. I asked you if you were going to be OK doing this. If anything happens its my fault. And while that was OK in other worlds... Its not OK in this one. You have bigger purposes in this world. Even more so than in Minecraftia, or Voltia. And I've turned you into a beast... I'm sorry..."
"Stop apologising... Seriously, its not your fault. If anything happens then I only have myself to blame because I would be the one who gave up. And... As long as I have all of you guys to help me... I can do this. And... I think of you as a brother too." The spaceman gave a small smile. The reaper returned it.
"Right, well then. Show the dwarf what to do with the machines, and I'll get back to my book." And with that he turned and left the room. The other three looked to each other, and then back to the door as he popped his head back round. "Oh, and if you two tell anyone what I just said-" he said, looking at the dwarf and scientist. "I'll set him on you myself." He gave a smirk and walked back out.
The dwarf gave a nervous chuckle before patting his friend on the shoulder. "Come on buddy. I need your help."
The spaceman nodded and followed the dwarf out, the scientist not far behind.
------------
The spaceman was resting against the wall, wiping his mouth as the sting of the sick he had just threw up attacked the back of his throat. He coughed and rubbed his eyes. He hadn't ate anything, and yet his stomach still thought it was a good idea to throw everything up again.
"You OK?" Honeydew asked, watching the spaceman jump at his sudden voice.
"Honeydew..." He breathed, a slight chuckle of relief. "Yeah... Didn't think anyone would notice if I just slipped out..." "No one did, but... Then I went to find you to ask you something and heard you throwing up again." The dwarf said. "So I thought I'd see if you were OK..."
The spaceman turned to face him, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm fine..." And his stomach growled loudly once again. "OK... I'm starving. But, that can't exactly be helped so..." He shrugged and leant against the wall once again, putting an arm around his stomach.
"Look... Friend... This is only going to get worse... And... I just... Want you to know, I'm... I'm here if you need me... If you need... Anything from me." The dwarf said, hinting to the spaceman.
"I want to fight this thing not feed it!" Xephos said, standing tall again.
"I know I know, but... Maybe to keep strong you might need nutrients... And you know as well as I do that you can't have normal food..."
"This is none of your business dwarf!" He growled back, a little too loudly as the scientist and reaper stepped out of the building a few seconds later. He looked around at them. "I mean... I didn't..." He rubbed his eyes again. "Sorry." He barged past them and walked around the wall and to the back of the compound, near the water tanks. He began pacing around once again, running his tongue over his slightly pointed teeth, that had grown from his anger. He groaned and made himself sit down, trying to stop himself from fidgeting and stressing out. He closed his eyes tight and clicked his fingers a few times before opening them. The scientist stood in front of him when he opened.
"Hey..." He said. The spaceman looked up at him.
"Hi..."
"The other two think I'm checking on the tanks..."
The spaceman nodded slightly.
"But... I'm not." He sat down in front of the spaceman. "Look, Xeph. You don't have to get all stressed out when you get angry. Its alright. We know you don't mean to shout... Its perfectly natu-"
"Natural?" The spaceman interrupted. "Which part of this is natural? The fact that I can hardly see myself in a mirror? The fact that my skin is even paler than before? The fact that every time I get angry my teeth become sharper and I can almost smell the blood running around in all of your veins? That isn't natural Lalna. Its the opposite of natural... Its... Its..."
"Perfectly fine." The scientist said, calmly. "We all love you. There's no way a few words in a slightly louder voice will make us leave you on your own. So..."
The spaceman watched as the scientist pulled out a box of tablets.
"Here... Paracetamol. You shouldn't throw them back up again and they'll help with your stress... Hopefully."
"Thanks... But no thanks..." He stood up.
"Xeph please, were trying to help you."
"I know! I know! And I'm saying I don't want any stupid tablets!" The spaceman hissed back, knowing full well that his teeth were becoming pointed again as he slapped the box from the scientists hand.
"Xeph..." The scientist stood up. "Just calm down..."
"I don't need to calm down! I'm perfectly fine!" His hearts were racing in his chest, he could hear them. "I don't need anything! I don't need tablets or, or help... I need... I need... Blood..." He felt his teeth sharpen in his mouth as he looked at the scientist. "I. Need. Blood." He growled, taking a step back against the wall, panting slightly as he fought against the instincts the beast was telling him to follow.
"Xephos..." The scientist put his hands up, showing the spaceman that he wasn't a threat. "Please... Just... Just breathe... Breathe and... And relax..."
"I don't want to hurt you..." Xephos whispered back.
"I know... I know... So just... Just calm down... Just... Close your eyes. Think of when you made the big reactor up on the space station, how calm and happy you were once it was done."
The spaceman growled, and before the scientist could react he lunged forward, and the scientist ducked, yelling and putting his hands in front of his eyes, closing them shut.
After a few seconds, and no impact at all, he slowly lowered his arms and opened one of his eyes. The reaper stood in front of him, holding the spaceman in a headlock with one arm, and jabbing a needle into his neck with the other. The scientist watched as the spaceman slowly relaxed, letting his eyelids lower before collapsing to the floor.
The reaper panted and leant back against the wall, looking up at the scientist. "You OK?" He breathed.
"Y...yeah" Lalna panted back, looking down at the spaceman. "What... Did you just do? He's not dead is he?!"
"No, no... It was something me and you made in another world... To control his anger. I remembered the recipe and mixed it with a sleeping tonic last night when I went back to my castle... Just in case."
"Bet you're glad you did."
"Bet you are too." The reaper said, chuckling slightly before stepping forward and picking the spaceman up. "I'll take him back to the shack. And then I'll come back out."
"OK..." The scientist watched as the reaper walked back to the corner. "Ridge." He turned.
"Make sure you lock the door."
He nodded and took the spaceman to the shack.
After laying the spaceman down he pulled out another syringe, putting it to the spaceman's neck and slowly injecting him. He pulled the needle out and dabbed away the trickle of blood that spilled from the wound. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "This is all my fault..." He whispered to himself, before sniffing and standing up, readjusting his cuffs and collar, and walking to the door. Locking it behind him.

I wasn't going to say anything before but you've done it twice and I feel I must now. Do you know what a REAL migraine is? You've said it in 2 stories now and, while I'm guessing you've had a headache before, the way you use the word migraine makes me think you've not had a real one. Please don't read this like I'm yelling at you. I'm just trying to let you know. A headache is when you head sorta hurts all over and you can take an aspirin and it will go away. Its something you can power though and still be a member of society.
A migrain makes you want to curl up in a dark room under the covers, with no sounds or bright lights. (just dim lights are painful) it makes you want to cry but crying makes it worse. A million and 1 aspirins won't work and they usually are only on one side of your head. They can make your eyes and teeth hurt when they are really bad. They can last one day or over a week and the longer they are, the more hope you loose hope that you'll ever feel better. My grandma has chronic migraines and headaches and almost never leaves her house. My mom will get one every once in a while and can barly think. I have only had 4 In my life that I can remember and while they have only lasted a day or two, they where crippling. Anyone can get a headache, I have them a lot depending on the weather and air preasure, but only a few people get migraines.
Try to use the word headache rather than migraine, migraine is a very strong word in my opinion and a headache is what your actually descriping in your stories.
like I said, I'm not ranting or yelling at you, but showing you something that you, and most people don't realize. Other than that I love your stories, friend.

Yes. I have had them before, I get them a lot. And I know what it is, and like is aid here, sometimes a migraine hurts so much that I begin to get sick. It happens. Not all migraines are the same and I'm not gonna change the way I write just because someone thinks that I can't have a migraine and don't know what it is.
I'm not trying to yell either. But I'm just sick of people saying that I don't know what its like to have things that I have plenty of experience with.

Ok. If you say you have them, you do. I don't want to argue, I just felt that, with my experience with people who don't know, and the way you describe them in the stories, they where more of a headache thing than a migraine thing. I know a lot of people who don't understand. I did not say you couldn't have one, but they are so strong for me and such a problem for my mom and grandma that the way you wrote them in your story, like such a casual thing, that migraine seemed a very strong word. I'm not asking you to change the way you write or anything like that, I just didn't know if you knew what you where writing when you said migraine.

I use references from real life in my writing. I usually tend to do things in my stories that I have experience with, or that I know someone with. I wouldn't write something that I knew nothing about. And for the record, none of my fics are written to be 'casual'.

I didn't mean it like that, friend. In exza or exza_ part one you said something about, she alway got migraines, it made it seem a little causal, like it was a constant anoyance. With my experience its a rare and crippling thing, same with my mom. My grandma has migraines on bad days and just headaches on good days. I'm not saying that your writing is casual, it's really very good and because of you, I'm trying to write, I just know people who say they have migraines, and they can take an aspirin and be a functioning member of society, meaning they had a small headache and didn't know what word they where using or what it really meant. Please don't take anything I say the wrong way, it's just something I feel strongly about and feel as though i need to make people aware that a migraine and a headache are NOT the same.

And I know that, I know the difference. And to be honest headaches don't stop when I have paracetamol (or asperins as you say) because I've basically for the past few years been having at least 6 a day, they literally don't help me anymore because my body's become immune to them. So now its even harder when I get a headache, and extremely hard when I get a migraine. I know you're not trying to cause an argument. And I feel strongly about things too, like when people say something about my autism and things like that. I get it, but I do have experience with them.
And yes, I probably seem agitated at the moment but I've been out of sorts for the past few weeks so.

No, I don't take aspirins for headaches, it's just what most people take and I'm not gonna start naming drugs on a comments chain. Sorry for bothering you like this, I'm happy to know there's more people out there that have them and know what they are. Not that I would wish this on anybody. I hope we can leave this on good terms though, and not as an argument, friend.

I will just say that weed, does actually numb a migraine. I'm not saying it gets rid of it, but it does numb you to it just a tiny bit. And no, this isn't an argument.

I didn't mean actual drugs!!!! I dont think I would ever do any, I've seen the bad effects and choose to steer clear of that path. I meant medications, like Advil or something like that.

Weed is medical... Sometimes. Besides, nobody has ever died from weed, the only thing that's bad for you in a spliff is the tabacco. Alcohol is worse for you than weed is, plus weed helps you get smarter. I'm not advising doing it... But I skrta want some now... Hmm...

Well I'm not old enough for any of that really, I'll stay sober til I'm 21 and clean for as long as its bad for you. (I don't plan in really getting drunk or anything when I'm old enough anyway.) i think I'll stick to Advil and aspirins for now. Drugs are still drugs to me, though I don't judge others for their choices.

that's a very good way to view things (as I told my cousin) and even though I don't view things quite that way because to be honest, even though I try and act like it, I don't really care what happens to me, and in England the legal age is 18 and im only 16 anyway... I started smoking at 14-15 and started doing weed at 15 so, it is a pretty bad life choice no matter how fun it is. I honeslty respect people who say they're not goingg to do anything. Honestly, I think everyone will experiment at one poit or another, but o have the mind set that you don't want to is awesome.

Thanks. I have allergies and sneeze when I smell cigarette smoke so I don't think I could if I wanted. But I have good parents who told me the risks of everything and I've seen people go bad, so I don't think I'll ever really want to. Wow, we went off subject. Oh well. Sorry for bothering you.

You didn't bother me, you actually gave me someone to talk to for once so...
