We Aren't Safe Here(BwWm)

Chapter 29

Amora's POV
The next morning I'm woken up by a knock on my door.
"Huh?" I jerk from my sleep
"Sorry Amora, I thought you would be awake by now." The voice of my birth giver rings through the room
I rub the sleep out of my eyes"what time is it?"
"7:30" she quickly responds
I look around the room to see everyone but Emi gone, Emi lays next to me on the Matt snoring. I guess Jen was too busy being a doctor to come to bed, and Maria is probably helping out the orphaned kids.
I throw the blankets off and get off the Matt and stand on the floor
"Why are you here so early anyways?" I brush my teeth in the mini sink and change into the provided clothes
"I think we can get our cure done today, if your willing?"
"Of course." I put my shoes on and walk over to her
"But- one thing first"
"Uh oh. What now." I roll my eyes
"Nothing serious, but we just might need to sedate u that's all." She reassured me
"What are you guys gonna be doing that I need to be sedated?"
"We just need to take some blood samples and run some test, but they are kind of painful, so we typically just put our patients to sleep."
She explains and I think it over.
"...alright, well I will meet up with you, I'm just gonna go talk to Allister really quickly."
"Of course, meet me on the bottom floor of the west wing."
She walks out and I make my way to Allister
I stare out the doors searching for him
I spot him doing push ups with the rest of soldiers
I March my way way out there.
I get to the soldiers and stop
"Um,Excuse me lieutenant?" Is that what he's called? I don't know military terms
"What is it little lady?"
Bingo right in the money
"Im helping out Dr. Mendez and she just wanted me to ask Allister some questions,"
"Can it wait till we are done?"
"No sir im sorry."
I watch Allister slowly stand up
"All right, make it quick."
I wait until Allister is behind me and walk about a Yard away from the soldiers
I stop and turn to face him
"Why did you call me out?" He has his hand on his hip as he towers over me.
"I just wanted to talk... I going to-"
"This couldn't wait till I'm finished." He swipes the sweat off his head
" why are you already mad at me? I'm trying to talk to you. Yesterday you were mad that I wasn't talking to you, and now that I am your mad?" I wave my hands around
His eyebrows furrow and he just looks at me, I can't tell If he's mad or not
"I don't know how to talk to you right now with out getting mad." His eyes sadden
"Are you serious, look I'm sorry about yesterday, I should have communicated better." I push my hair behind my ears
"You don't need to apologize, just- can you give me just a second to like cool off...please?" He rubs his scruff
Now my eyebrows furrow, and my eyes start to sting
"Really Allister?" I wrap my arms around my waist
"Yes. I'll come find you later." He reaches out for my head and a duck away from him
"How about you don't. Leave me alone Allister." I turn and storm off to the west wing
When I get to the entrance of the wing I stop and wipe my eyes and catch my breath
I need to focus on calming down, so they can properly run their test.
I stand up straight and turn the corner to the doors, I stop when I'm met by two soldiers guarding the doors.
"Um can i get through?" I loudly ask getting their attention
"No one can get in or out ma'am." They unanimously say
"Well I'm supposed to be in there to get some tests done." I place my hands on my hips

What is it with rude soldiers today?

"What is your name ma'am?" The one on the left asks
"Amora Mendez."
"Go right on in then Ms.Mendez." They both step aside
Once I get through I see another pair of guards on the door to my left.
I guess I'm supposed to be in there.
I step up to the soldiers.
"Amora Mendez." I stare up at them and they move
"Carmen?" I ask as I enter
She immediately slams shut whatever notebook she's writing in.
"Oh sorry I didn't see you come in. Uh this is My friend Doctor, Clair, she will be assisting me." She says pointing over to the woman preparing syringes near the bed
"Hi," I give a small wave
"You can remove all of your clothes and change into this gown and lay flat on the bed ,no socks." She hands me the hospital gown
I nod and head to the bed stripping my clothes and changing.
I lay back flat on the bed.
"Alright let's get started then."
She immediately checks my blood pressure and heart rate.
"Perfect." She then pulls out a catheter and placed it near a vein in my hand
"This will hurt just a little." she shoves it in and I flinch
Hurts a little my Ass oof.
She turns away and comes back with a clear syringe.
And she begins to eject it into my vein
"Your gonna start to feel tired, alright mami."
She injects the whole syringe when she turns to Clair

" how many mili g did you put in here"
"About 4 that's all we had left over" She nods
"No,no, that's to little it needed to be-well it won't matter, she won't be asleep, but she won't move." She sighs
My vision slightly blurs and I jerk my body
I won't be asleep?
I jerk again
"Oh no Amora, now we have to strap you down."
She places 3 buckles on me
"I'm Gonna prepare the cotton balls." Clair says and scurry's away
I can feel my mom lean over me and brush my hair out of the way
"My beautiful baby girl. I remember when I first gave birth to you, you were the pride of my life, and now, even more so, I'm sorry that your life took these turns of events, getting kicked out of your house at 15."
My eyes begins to water, and I clench them but it's to late they begin to fall.
"And now this, I'm so so so sorry to have to do this to you Amora... you know why I named you Amora?"
She waits as though I can actually answer
"I named you Amora, because I knew you would bring love wherever you went, and now we can use your generous love to fix my mistake." She places a kiss on my cheek
What-my minds getting blurry, what did she mean
"W-what?" I croak out
"I mean your last gift to this world will be to sacrifice yourself."
I shake my head in confusion my tears fall faster and I feel sick to my stomach
" I MEAAAANNN, your not going to wake up from this, the amount of stems cells I need to make a cure, will...kill you." She let's an inch of emotion slip out before hiding it back up
"No,no n-" I begin to shiver.
"Stop, mom...please? Your...my mom" I beg
The fear begins to sober my mind but not my body
"I'm sorry, bebe, but we need this... I love you."
