Is it a Flu?

Seth's POV

It had been a few days since the vampire had attacked me. I was okay after sleeping again for 4 more hours and the wound healed up, only leaving a scar. And then for the previous days, I was feeling great, better than ever. I was really energetic and high on something; everyone was mostly glad that I was okay.

I thought I was going to be better this morning too.

But I was wrong.

This morning I felt like shit. Pardon my french, but I really did.

I woke up with this headache and I slowly start to sit up then I felt extremely dizzy. I tried getting out of bed, but I ended up falling to the floor, face first.

God, I just love this morning...

"Seth?" I hear my sister calling me as she opened the door and saw me on the ground. I hear sighed. "What the hell are you doing, Seth? Get up. Your shift is in 10 minutes. Hurry up." She said as she closed the door and didn't bother to ask, hey are you okay? Do you need help? No. She didn't ask those. That's why she's Leah.

I groaned as I got up swaying a bit here and there. I shook my head trying to get it straight as I wobbled over the bathroom. I got the shower running cold since I didn't mind the cold due to my hot temperature. I got in and unexpectedly, the water was really cold to me. I yelped in surprise as I got out of it quickly. I turned the shower to hot and went in again.

What's wrong with me today?

I got out of the shower and then I sneezed. Twice.

Hm...some one must be talking about me....twice....

I walked out of the shower and got dressed. I felt a little light headed, but then again I could just be tired. After getting dressed, I headed downstairs and bumped into a guy that's equally tall like me. It was Rich. Leah's imprint.

He smiled at me. "Sorry there, bud."

I smiled back at him. "Nah, it's fine. I wasn't watching where I was going," I said as I went into the kitchen and stumbled a bit over my feet. Weird...

Rich noticed that. "Are you okay there, Seth?"

"Hm? Yeah. I'm fine." I'm fine. Right?

Before Rich would say anything else, there was honking outside. He smiled at me. "I gotta go, your sister's getting impatient," he said as he started heading out the door but stopped and looked at me. "By the way, if you're not feeling well, you should stay in bed." And with that, he left. I wonder when Leah is going to tell the secret to him so that I could tell him that werewolves can't get sick.

Now why did I take a shower?

...I forgot.

I shook my head and went to the kitchen. I poured some milk and cereal in a bowl and started eating. Strangely enough, I wasn't that hungry so I was only able to finish half of it since I was feeling kind of sick about it. Moreover, there was something itchy in my throat. I think the milk was a little expired or something, I don't know.

Suddenly the door opened, and Jacob walked in looking mad.

"Seth! Your late with your shift. You're supposed to meet up with me half an hour ago!" Half an hour ago? Shift? "Didn't Leah tell you?" ….

OOOOHHH!

"Ohh crap, sorry Jake," I told him as I quickly grabbed my unfinished bowl and dumped it in the sink.

Suddenly, something happened to me...

I had a coughing fit out of nowhere and I couldn't control it. After a while, it finally died down and I see Jacob looking at me incredulously.

"Are you sick?" He asked me. "Werewolves can't get sick! ...Can we?"

I opened my mouth to speak but as I did, I started coughing again, and this time it was worse. The coughing spasms jolted the food that was in my stomach, making me run to the trash can and hurl out the little food that I had eaten. I felt a warm hand on my back, patting it and I hear Jacob saying, "You know what, forget about the shift. I'll get Embry to do it with me---and damn Seth, your shaking" I am?

I realized now that my body was shaking furiously like I was getting electrified again. No. I was cold. My body was shivering and the only source of heat was Jake's hand, but it's not helping me much. I coughed more, causing my stomach heave out the gastric juice.

"Hey!! Seth!!!" Jacob panicked. "You know what, maybe you should see Carlisle."

"No!" I choked out the word as I spit out the last bile that was in my mouth. I gasped for air as I said, "Don't...call the doctor..."

I can feel Jacob's frown at me, but I know he wouldn't force me to go without my consent. I hear sigh and said, "Okay, but you need to stay in bed Seth." Then he murmured, "and I need to tell Sam that werewolves can get sick..."

Yeah...I'll be the first werewolf to had ever gotten ill.

Later on, I was in bed and Jacob went on ahead. He phoned my mom not too long ago and she was coming home quick. She too was surprised that werewolves can get sick. I wonder how the pack is going to react this.

I fell asleep from time to time, I think and I heard the door open once I was awake again. The person came in and I felt a hand on my forehead. I turned to face the person and to see it was my mom.

"Hey Seth," she cooed at me as she soothe my hair back. "I'll get you some food later on during lunch. What would you like?"

Somehow, nothing of the list of food in my mind sounded too good to me. I might throw it up again. So I simply answered, "Anything..."

"Okay, dear. I'll get you some soup then," with that, she left me and closed the door as I went back to sleep.

I felt like I was just starting to sleep when suddenly I heard voices around me...

"Whoa...he looks really sick..."

"Yeah...no kidding..."

Brady? Collin?

I rolled over to face them and they look at me. Their faces were shocked.

"Whoa Seth!" Collin yelled. "You look like hell!"

I growled at them sharply. "Shut up," I snarled. "You're too loud."

Collin recoiled back, away from me and Brady looked even more shock. "Oh damn Seth...when you're sick, you act like Leah!"

"Whoa...that means they are related..." I rolled my eyes as I turned over, facing my back at them.

It was silent for a while until Brady spoke. "Look man, sorry, if we bothered you and all..."

"Yeah sorry...you don't really look like hell..." I hear Collin's sad tone as well and I sighed. What is wrong with me? I feel so irritated, but then again it's because I'm sick...a werewolf that's sick.

"It's okay...sorry for the way I'm acting right now..." I said as I turned to face them again. "I'm just really tired..." Then I looked around trying to find my alarm clock, and of course, it's right there next to me on the coffee table. I looked at it and it said there 10:43 A.M.... wow, I didn't sleep that long. No wonder I'm grouchy.

We chatted for a while until mom came in an hour later and gave me a bowl of chicken soup before she left, shooing Brady and Collin out as well. I ate the chicken soup and for a while, I didn't mind the taste so much. It tasted good and it settled well in my stomach, but after that I started to feel nauseous and full. I looked at the bowl and it was barely even half-full. I set it down on the coffee table anyway, and I just went back to sleep.

As I slept I started dreaming of what happened to me a couple of days, but I was seeing it in a third's person point of view. I was there looking at a mirror or something and I saw a reflection of me, attacked by that vampire, electrifying. I saw my body convulsing erratically like a seizure then I see her thrust her hand right at my stomach and blood gushed out. I felt sick just looking at it, and then out of nowhere that hand burst through the mirror, breaking it, grabbing my face-

I gasped as I quickly sat up from my bed. I was back to the real world.

"Oh you're awake," I jumped a bit and saw Carlisle with Leah and mom just behind him.

The vampire smiled at me. "Hello, Seth"

"Oh...Hey doc..." I let out a breath. "You scared me"

"But not like the nightmare you just had," he pointed out. I paused before nodding along with him, "Yeah...it was nothing, it was just weird..."

He nodded as he sat down on the chair next to my bedside---Was that there just a while ago? And didn't I tell Jacob not to call Carlisle? I didn't need the doctor. It's just a flu.

"So how are you feeling, Seth?" He asked and I answered drowsily, "Sick...and tired..."

Leah looked at me incredulously. "Tired? Seth, you slept like a rock for 22 hours straight!"

My eyes widened in surprise. 22 hours? 22 HOURS?!

"Wait, what?!" I was so confused. "But...I...Mom...Brady a-and Collin...huh?!" So confused.

Carlisle looked at my mom. "He didn't had any dinner or breakfast?"

My mom shook her head. "We tried waking him up, but he was dead asleep...sorry, excuse the pun, I didn't mean to"

The doctor smiled a bit. "It's perfectly fine..." With that, he turned his attention back to me and asked, "Will you tell me your symptoms from yesterday and now, Seth?"

I complied. "Well...I was tired when I got up yesterday morning...The shower was cold for me..." Once I said that, Carlisle placed his cold hand on my warm forehead, and it felt cold but nice; I didn't pull away but I relaxed. He pulled away and said, "It's less warmer than the temperature you usually have"

It is? I didn't get to asked when the doctor asked for me to continue down the list of my symptoms and so I did. I told him I only hate half of my cereal bowl, which surprised all three of them since they know that I could eat more than that. And then I started coughing, and the coughing made me threw up all my breakfast. After that, I decided to just go back to sleep. He asked me about lunch and my mom answered and that I didn't finish it and it was 3/4 full when she went to check on me yesterday.

I started telling him the symptoms I had now. Right now, my body ached, a stuffy nose, a headache, nauseous, and tired...extremely tired.

After a while, he said, "Seth...I think you might have the Swine Flu."

My jaw dropped. "Seriously?" He nodded and I groaned. "Awe man..."

Mom was surprised. "But Seth wasn't around anyone that caught the swine flu."

"It's not only when you are around sick people, it's also airborne or probably Seth touched something that was already infected by some one that has the flu." Carlisle explained.

"But...there's no one in the reservation that's sick of swine flu," Leah pointed out and that's true. No one is sick of such a flu yet in this area. It's only affected more down South.

But Carlisle said, "It could have been from a tourist" That's right. Tourists. Mom and Leah could no longer argue against that, because in all honesty, it must be true. Moreover, it doesn't really change anything that the swine flu came from some one in the rez or a tourist. What matters is that I do have the swine flu...no wait...

"Wait, you said might have the swine flu," I pointed out and Leah gasped, though I think she's feigning it. I asked her anyway, "What?"

"You're sharp as a tack when you're sick,"At first I didn't get what she meant, but then I understood quickly. She didn't expect me to catch on that Carlisle said MIGHT. He didn't exactly said that I did have the swine flu.

Nevertheless, I glared at my sister and she just gave me a smug smile.

For the whole half an hour, Carlisle got some DNA out of me (use a q-tip in the nose. Disgusting, but that's how they find out) and told my mom that he'll call and tell me if I do have Swine Flu. He also told me that if I ever had any trouble breathing, I should call him straight away. He said that would be a sign for medical assistance, and I would be sent into an emergency room. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen. Anyway, he prescribed me a drug called TAMIFLU. He said that I would experience nauseous and some vomiting, but he advised me to take food with it so I wouldn't. If anything strange happens to me like lack of air, a rash, or any kind of allergic reaction, we need to call him right away.

When that was over, Carlisle left, bidding us good bye and mom left to go buy me the TAMIFLU and Leah brought me some soup then Rich came in, giving me this feigned disappointing look.

"I told you to stay in bed," he taunted and I just rolled my eyes at him.

We all started to talk, but mostly it was Leah and Rich while I just slowly eat...drink...?? eat/drink my soup. I don't how long time had passed, but mom already came back with the medication and I still wasn't halfway done with my bowl. In fact, I felt full.

"Here you go, Seth dear," she said as gave me one pill of TAMIFLU and a glass of water.

I took the pill and they all left the room. I put the soup back down as I turned over and went to sleep, hoping that the flu would pass over...

Our werewolf got sick?

Is that what the mystery vampire did to him? Get him sick?

Or something more?

Sneak peek...

She looked at me with a horrified look. I gave a questionable look at her in return and asked, "What? Is there something on my face?"

"Y-your nose is b-bleeding," she stuttered out the words and that made me panic a bit since I never had a nosebleed before. I thought she was lying to me, but I check to see if she wasn't. My fingers reached under my nose and touched a wet, sticky liquid.

I pulled my fingers away and found a dark red crimson color on the tip of my two fingers.

Whoa...

I think there's more than just a flu
