in front of people.
The pain I went through with every change was excruciating, and I didn't want them to witness it. At least I was used to it, but it was hard for someone else to watch. Also, there was the fact I'd be naked. As well as the way I felt, there was a chance I could pass out or vomit. Really, none of it was a pretty sight.
"Of course, love." He glided over to the bed and leaned down to pick me up, until Isaac's hand clamped down on his arm.
"What are you doing?" Isaac growled.
"She wants to go to the bathroom to shift back."
" I will carry her." Isaac swiftly stood with me in his arms and took me to the door on the right. He opened it to reveal a huge bathroom. Big enough to have a party in. There was a twin shower, a double spa bath and a twin vanity sink. All of them were sparkling white.
He lay me gently on the tiled floor and sat beside me.
Is he expecting me to change back in front of him? No way is there a chance of that!
Isaac Grey was not seeing me naked.
Well, not under those circumstances.
Shut it, hussy brain.
"Ah, mate. I think she wants to do it alone."
"I won't leave your side, Leila. I saw the pain you went through to change so quickly before, and I know this will hurt you just as much. So I'll be here for you."
"Brother, you can't stay," Jezanna said from the door. "I doubt Leila is worried about the pain. I think she's more worried about you seeing her after she changes."
"Why? Doesn't she want to speak with me?" Isaac looked to Caelen for an answer. But it was Jeremiah who came back and supplied what everyone else knew.
"Isaac, she'll be naked in her human form." Once he stated the fact, he left again.
Isaac faced away, but I could still see the blush running down his neck."Oh," he whispered.
"Isaac," Jezanna started. "We'll wait in the other room. I'll go and get Leila something to wear, and you can ring Dad to tell him we're all fine."
"Yes. Yes, good idea." He quickly stood and left without looking back. Jezanna closed the door after him, leaving me to shift back on my own. When I welcomed the pain, my body started to alter.
Chapter Seven
The transformation left me utterly exhausted. I wasn't used to changing so fast in the first place and then altering back in such a short amount of time.
Curled up in a ball on the tiled floor, I shivered. I wanted to move, to go to the toilet and throw up, hoping it would help me feel better. Then it hit me, the other reason I wasn't coping. The vampire blood. It was still working its way out of my system.
The thought of it, of the foul taste it had left, made me move. I crawled my way to the toilet just in time for it to come up.
There was a knock at the door and Isaac's concerned voice called out, "Leila, are you okay? Sorry, silly of me to ask. I know you're not, but do you need help?"
As nice as it was for him to ask, I couldn't answer. Still, I managed a moan between heaves and prayed he didn't take it as an affirmative for him come in. If he did, it'd embarrass the hell out of me because I was naked and bent over a toilet in his house, puking my guts up.
"Move aside, brother," I heard Jezanna say.
The door opened and Jezanna squeezed her way in through a small gap. I didn't mind her coming in; at least she was a girl and thoughtful enough to have brought a large black blanket, which she wrapped around my shaking body.
She knelt beside me and gently rubbed my back as I waited for the dry-heaving to subside. I swore to myself I would never take vampire blood into my mouth again, and I would never shift so quickly. Well, until the next situation arose, and I had a feeling being around Isaac and his family, one could come up at any time.
Finally, the heaving stopped. I flushed the toilet and crouched over it, trying to gain control of my heavy breathing.
"Thank you," Jezanna said.
My laugh was unexpected. "For what?" I asked. "Throwing up in your toilet?"
She giggled. "No, besides, it's not my bathroom. It's
