Trinity's Blood, Authoroffantasy [books for men to read .txt] 📗

I stopped coughing for a day then the next was three times worst. I knew I was dying and that the maids were telling me all but lies but I didn’t care. A rich girl that dies around here is like another flower being trampled. No one even knows me and I’m going to die alone. My parents are very famous artists, such artists to travel the world and leave their sick daughter at home and defend for her. They only call once a month and when the nurses tell them I’m getting worse they just reply to give her more sleeping gas and medicine. The doctors have actually come up with a medicine though that will allow me to get out of bed and not cough as badly as I do now. I just hope it is made quicker because I plan to go to school and meet other teenagers like myself. When I say teenager I mean a seventeen year old girl but I have not been able to have the confidence and liability like most kids therefore I am like a helpless child to most.
“Nurse *cough cough* I was wondering when the doctor will be here today?”
The nurse took the bowl of soup, that I was supposed to eat but I coughed so hard that it spilled everywhere, and replied with a shrug. At least my parents could buy me kinder nurses and maids; after all I’m stuck living with them. There is one nurse, Lucie, and one maid, Olive, that I’m quite fond of. They assist me on any subject and when it is time to sleep they tuck me in as if they were my parents.
“Lucie, are you *cough cough* there?”
Lucie ran in and came to my bedside. She had been helping the other nurses file out my medication and the progress or shall I say declining process I have taken.
“Yes my dear?”
“Do you *cough cough* know when the doctor is coming today?”
“Well my dear he is supposed to arrive any second now and I hear from travelers that there is good news and bad news.”
“I just hope the good news is that I won’t have to stay in here and stare at their ugly faces.”
I pointed to a group of the meanest nurses and maids and Lucie laughed.
“Lucie, *cough cough* do you think I’m strong enough to make it through this?”
“Well if anyone in this world can, I’d put all my bets on you.”
“Thank you Lucie.”
All of a sudden Olive ran in with a sweeper in her and she took a breather.
“My dear lady the doctor has arrived and he wishes to come in?”
“Please, Olive *cough cough*, send him in.”
The doctor came in and studied how pale I was. It wasn’t a lie, I was very pale, and sometimes the nurses would check how white my medication was by putting it up against my skin. My long blond locks surrounded my small yet oval shaped face and my long black eyelashes, and pink lips were the only color I had. Even my eyes had turned a soft grey instead of their average blue. I was sick and everybody knew it, it was too bad they couldn’t lie about it.
“Hello my dear lady Trinity, how is your cough today?”
“Well doctor *cough cough* it isn’t as bad as yesterday but it certainly hasn’t gone down much *cough cough*.”
“I see, well I have good and bad news. Which will you hear first?”
“The good news please.”
“Well I can get you up and ready for school with the medication I have made but after about two weeks it wears off and you’ll have to go through a whole day of rest.
“Didn’t you *cough cough* just say both of your news?”
“Oh I guess I did.”
I laughed slightly but remained aware I couldn’t talk greatly because it pained me so.
“So Trinity Yearling, do we have a deal?”
With a nod and a few coughs I shook his hand.
“Good, it’s not right for such a faire princess like yourself to be locked away without your prince.”
“I am not a princess *cough cough* and I will not look for a prince because in return I will get a frog. But I thank you for the lovely *cough cough* comment.”
The doctor told the nurses my prescription, when I take it, how long one pill last, how the principal at the high school will allow me to take daily checkups and I will studied from time to time. I didn’t quite listen to the rest because once he said that the students would love me as a newcomer I was grateful. The doctor was so kind to me and I was grateful to have him so I sent him off with twice the pay of an average meeting.
“Lucie school *cough cough* starts in two days and I need to practice with the pill so can I take it *cough cough* now?”
“Of course my lady.”
Lucie gave me the pills and Olive made sure everything was tidy and not dangerous for my first walk in over a decade. When I got this cough was when I was seven so a decade is just about right.
“My lady you’re walking!”
“I am much stronger and look no cough so far.”
I walked through the bedroom and finally decided to go down the stairs, after I managed them I knew I could go to school. I was so excited that night I couldn’t sleep so the nurses gave me sleeping gas and I finally passed out.
School arrived and I was preparing my clothes and getting dressed. I put on a snug red sweater, since it was November and quite chilly outside, some jeans that seemed to fit my tiny waist just right, and red dress shoes. I looked dazzling Lucie and Olive said as I left the house. My Land Rover was a perfect car in these hills because if there was ever rock falls over the car, I would be safe. I drove quickly but slow enough to recheck all of my classes, teachers, and where it was exactly. I had the choice of someone driving me but what fun would that be? I finally get to move and I let someone else drive?
“Hello, Principal Franklin I was wondering where it is I park my car?”
“In the parking lot sweetie…”
“Yes but my Land Rover won’t fit. Can I park it on the side?”
“Of course my lady.”
“Thank you.”
“Oh and do you need assistance of getting around school?”
“That would be nice, Mr. Franklin, thank you.”
“No problem, I’ll send someone right away.”
I got out of the Rover and looked at my school, it was trimmed with red and the walls were white. It was like the perfect school, well the perfect school like on the shows on TV. I got out and walked near the front where I noticed a girl with a sticker that said helper was standing at the front. I approached softly and asked if she was my assistant around school.
“Yes that would be me. I’m Willow Serfanchi, so you want to get started?”
“That would be lovely.”
Willow showed me where all of my classes would take place then she showed me other places I needed to know. It was all too much to take it but I loved it. All of the kids were watching as I passed wondering who I was and if they’d ask I would be so kindly as to tell them but yet they didn’t and soon enough the bell rang.
“Hey you can come hang with my group at the table near the cafeteria, outside, everyone would love you.”
“That’s so kind of you, thank you.”
“Yeah sure no problem, see you at lunch.”
Willow ran off and I headed to history class. As I sat down I noticed there was strange writing on the desk and drawings from other people. I studied it a bit more then looked up at my teacher who was trying to get my attention.
“So Miss Yearling, have you any idea what we are studying this unit from what’s on the board?”
“Well there is Shakespeare’s “To be or not to Be,” and some other famous poets names up there so I guess that we are learning the times of the poets.”
“You are correct Miss Yearling and do you know what page we are starting off on?”
“Well up on the board it says 352 so pg. 352?”
“Correct, you have just earned your first A.”
I smiled and everyone whistled and then I coughed. The teacher immediately noticed it but I realized it was a sneeze and he seemed to notice my reaction as a let by.
“So you’re like mega rich, that’s tight!
It was a boy named Bryan at Willow’s table. There was Willow-a black haired brown eyed girl, Bryan-a brown haired green eyed boy, Keller-a blond with green eyes, and Hector-a black haired blue eyed guy. They were all popular at this school and I figured that this is the kind of people I’d like to hang out with before I die. But already the cheerleaders are asking me to join, basketball players, gymnastics…all of which I can’t do because my medication isn’t that good.
“I guess you could say that.”
“So Trinity, you have an illness?”
I turned to Bryan who was an outspoken guy and nodded. It wasn’t easy keeping a secret especially when all your teachers were asking if I need to go to the nurse and stuff like that.
“What kind of illness are we talking about?”
“Bryan that’s rude.”
“No it’s alright Keller, I have this bad cough…it’s been in my family for quite awhile, it ends up stopping your heart when you’re like nineteen or twenty.”
“Wow so you don’t have much time do you?”
“No I don’t really.”
“I hear your parents are off traveling the world and they don’t even care about how sick you are.”
Keller jabbed Bryan in his stomach and I nodded my head in response to his answer. Everyone just kind of ate their meal after that except Bryan who was talking in his own little world.
“You know you’re as pale as one of the Verne’s.”
“Who are the Verne’s?”
All of a sudden a pack came through the cafeteria door and I looked up. There were two couples and following behind was a guy, they were all around the same age. I watched as everyone else did in the cafeteria and finally when I had enough I looked back onto my plate and bit a part of my apple which somehow made me cough and everybody at the group skid their chairs just a little.
“It’s alright guys, I’m good.”
Everyone got back into their comfy position and Keller leaned over.
“Ok see the girl with brown hair, that’s Reese, she’s the oldest girl apparently. Then there’s her boyfriend Xavier who’s her age. The next couple is Puppet and Devin-they are so weird and last but not least is Tristian. Their all family, well Tristian, Puppet, and Xavier are cousins I should say, and Reese’s boyfriend and Puppet’s boyfriend lives under Tristian’s parent’s house.
“Oh, that’s nice.”
I turned back my attention to the apple that I was now cutting up so I didn’t have to worry about my cough. Finally I took a bite and consumed it. I hated my cough getting in the way of eating, especially if it was soup or anything with liquid. It would get everywhere and I’d be
