Alana shook the pills out onto the table and studied the
m a moment before she grabbed her laptop from her bedroom and sat down at the kitchen table. She punched in the name of the drug and then sighed at the amount of links that popped up. She wasn’t stupid. She knew something was going on. Dr. Nasri had kept trying to detain her before Alana had slipped out of the room and made a hasty exit. She didn’t know what was going on but it was giving her an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. A stomach that was still rolling with queasiness.
Wiping a hand over her forehead, she absently noted that her bangs were damp from sweat, she started to diligently go through each link and gather as much information about this mysterious drug as she could. Dr. Nasri hadn’t been able to explain fully exactly how this drug was supposed to help her. All she kept saying was that it would help her sleep. Alana wasn’t having problems sleeping. She had wanted to know what was going on but the doctor has said that her blood work wasn’t back yet. She learned forward to study the image of the pills and then looked the pills resting so innocently on the table.
“They aren’t the same pills,” she whispered to herself then pursed her lips. Maybe she’d gotten the generic form. Changing her searching she once again stared at the image on the screen and then back to the pills on the table.
“No, they still aren’t the same thing. What in the world is going on?”
She blinked furiously when her vision blurred then shaking her head got up from the table. She went to sit on the edge of the couch but missed and ended up on the floor.
Rubbing her forehead again she sighed. She wasn’t the most gracefully person she knew but this was ridiculous! Something was wrong with her. She was sweating like a menopausal woman on a winter’s night. It just didn’t make any sense. She blamed the dog. He was the source of all her problems. If he hadn’t came when he did and saved her life then none of this would be happening. She’d just be dead and none the wiser. She groaned. What was she thinking?
“See, now you’re not even lucid. Girl, get a grip,” she told herself. “Just call in sick to work. There’s no way I can teach like this.”
Knowing she wasn’t going to feel better Alana started to get up off the floor to make a telephone call. That way she knew her class would be covered. She had accumulated a plethora of sick days since she rarely, if ever, was sick.
Placing her hands on the floor she shifted until she was reasonable sure she would be able to stand. Taking a deep breath she stiffened her arms and started to push herself upward. Her first attempted she only managed about an inch before her arms started to tremble and a bead of sweat ran down into her eye.
“Ouch! Crap, crap! That’s burns!”
Blinking rapidly she started to push herself up again.
She felt her feet slip out from under her. Her arms pinwheeled for a moment before she was able to plant a hand on the ground. Her whole body started to shake and goosebumps covered her skin.
“This isn’t natural,” she whispered as her eyes seemed to close of their own accord. She tried to keep them open but to no avail. It felt as if someone was steadily pushing her down until her back made contact with the floor. She heaved a contented sigh.
“I’ll just lay here for a moment,” she said drowsily. “Then,” she yawned. “In a few minutes I’ll…get up…and call…my…jo-”

Oh wow! Oh no!
And man those doughnuts on the counter look good. Mmm doughnuts…
[Reply]
LOL!! Okay Homer!! I can just picture the drool…or the gurgling he does in the back of his throat! LOL!!
Yeah…oh no!
[Reply]
First of all, I am hoping she didn’t take any of those pills before she researched them. Once again I am on pins and needles waiting to see what comes next!
Ethan is a real jerk isn’t he? I am glad Dom didn’t tell him. Somehow I think there may be redemption for her down the road.
Fabulous shots girl! Wonderful! And your decor, the clutter, is perfect.
[Reply]
Now that Pen mentioned that, I REALLY want a doughnut
Ouch. Poor Alana. Hopefully Ethan doesn’t get his vile hands on her.
I agree with Gayl, I do think Dom is redeemable and could potentially make a turnaround later in the story. I can’t see that happening too soon, though.
[Reply]
Half breed eh! thats a twist, now lets hope that Caine realizes whats going on with the girl before it’s too late and his NASTY uncle gets his grubby paws on her. Breeding female, pah! Alana needs a good Alpha. LOL!
[Reply]
Stunning screens and writing as usual!! 80)
[Reply]
No Gayl, she didn’t take any of the pills. The doc was making her too nervous for that!
Yes, he is. He thinks he so above everyone else and doesn’t want to get his hands dirty…
As for DOm…*whistles innocently* I haven’t figure her out yet.
Thank you!
[Reply]
LOL!! When I work night shift I’m always able to get the fresh donuts!! Yum!!
Yeah, Alana is it for a rough…er, rougher time then she could have ever imagined!
[Reply]
I already had Alana’s back story planned out even before I started this story. I might have to to some flashbacks there as well…I think it’s interesting!
Hahaha!! I agree with you! Alana does need a good Alpha! And Cherie…*looks around and leans in close* in about two chapters a VERY familiar face is going to appear!
[Reply]
I was rooting for Dom. She doesn’t have to tell everything to stupid Ethan! Two can play that game, Ethan!!
Anyway, I hope nothing too bad happens to Alana.
[Reply]
Hahaha! No, no she doesn’t have to tell Ethan anything…esecially because of the way he treats her!
I’m working on the next two updates now! Sooo….you’ll see! LOL!
[Reply]
I absolutely cant wait!!! LOL!
[Reply]
Ethan is an obnoxious jerk.
You surprised me with Alana! And I do hope Caine gets a clue fast!
Always such suspense and such wonderful pics!
[Reply]
I think Alana is going to surprise a lot of people…myself included!
Yes, Ethan is. He knows it and doesn’t care.
Thank you Beth!
[Reply]
OMG!!! Poor Alana!!!
And Dominica should have kept her mouth shout!!
Well I’m glad Ethan didn’t give her the chance to tell him everything!!!
I really hope Caine realizes something is going on and fast!!! he just bit the girl… he should at least go back to see if she is ok!
lol
Wonderful update!! Love all your pictures, how did you even get Ethan to choke Dom? that was a great shot!!!
Great job!
[Reply]
If Dom would have done that then she would have really been in for some trouble!
LOL!! Yeah…Caine’s mind drifts to her and…well you’ll see!
Thanks Sandy! I go here: http://community.livejournal.com/simhaven/ to just read stories and see the new pose boxes that pop up every now and again!
[Reply]
Great update Cheryl! As usual, you find the best poses and have great pics! Love the one of Ethan choking her (just the pic, not what he was doing!) LOL.
Alana the half breed!? OMG, how will she feel about that! Love that Dom kept that little jewel about the smell to herself, serves him right!
Loved this update and can’t wait for more!
[Reply]
LOL!! I completely understand!
Thanks Emily! The poses all come from pose boxes that goodbye_sun has posted at Smhaven(Where I lurk). It’s just a crazy time finding the right pose…
Eh, for some reason I don’t think Alana is going to be pleased. Not pleased at all! Haha!! Yeah, I think Dom is really getting tired of Ethan. She’s had enough…the question is what will she do about it?
Thanks so much Emily!! I’m looking forward to your next one as well!
[Reply]
It will be so nice to see Ethan go down, I am hopeful karma will make things right.
Alana is going to so go off at Caine when she find out what he has done to her…
[Reply]
Another great update, your shots are always so full of action, how did you get Ethan to pin Dom against the wall like that? (never mind, read your response to Sandy above)
And interesting why Alana is reacting so to the bite. Did Caine do it on purpose, or was he unaware of what he had done? Doesn’t bode well for a possible relationship between them!
And what nefarious plan as Ethan got for Alana. His ears perked up when he heard she was ‘fertile’ breed with him, perhaps? Ewww.
Looking forward to more!
[Reply]
I so believe in Karma so I’m thinking that Ethan will get his! Haha!
Yeah, Alana is NOT going to be pleased. She had her whole life planned out…
[Reply]
Thanks Karen! I also posted some shots on the photo blog since I know you really don’t visit LJ that much! Hopefully I made it easy to understand. I took the idea from goodbye_sun.
LOL!! You never know with Ethan. He intends to hold onto his Alpha position as long as he can. No matter what that entails…
[Reply]
Poor Alana. I wondered if she had some werewolf in her, the mention of her running all that distance and some other small clues… but I didn’t anticipate she’d be a half-breed. I’m assuming this is of great concern to them!
She’s in for one hell of a ride!
