Beep! Beep! Beep!

What was this annoying sound? I wanted to sleep for some more time. The beeping sound continued. I opened my eyes getting irritated. "Argh! Stop it." I tried to sit up but immediately fell back to the same position.

"Awake?"

I turned my head from where I heard the voice. Xanthos was sitting on a beige colour couch with his legs draped lazily on top of a black table in front of him. He was now wearing a brown leather jacket on top of a white t-shirt. I could see his built body underneath it. His dark brown hair was in a mess. It looked as though he ran his hands many times through his hair. I wanted to run my hand through his hair, It looked so soft. Woah, how can a person look this 'Hot'?

Dirty thoughts! Dirty thoughts! Get out of my head. I bang my head on the pillow underneath my head only to let out a whimper.

Xanthos stood up and reached me. "Are you ok, Bella?" His voice was deeper than before, it sounded more alluring than before. He looked more built and taller than I last saw him.

"Did you complete your puberty today?" I remembered Natasha asking me when she thought my voice changed.

Xanthos looked at me confused. When he made a face of understanding, he let out a chuckle. "Oh uh no, love. I still look the same. Maybe these clothes that I'm wearing is making me look more built." He shrugged his shoulder. I looked at him narrowing my eyes at the word 'love'.

"Ok... so I'm in this hospital for seven days, right?" He nodded his head. "So, that means a week. Wait! Do my um..family members know about this?"

What if they think I ran away? That would be better but they should've found out about me sooner or later.

"Yea, he visited the hospital once but something about him doesn't seem fit, love."

"Why do you think so, love?" I played along with his endearments but he just let it slide.

"He kept on asking when you would be discharged and didn't let the doctors to do other tests even when I mentioned it's on me." 

I laughed and said, "You're smart but I don't know if I should trust you in certain things, Xan."

"What things? Are you being mistreated by any chance, love?" He asked with a concerning eyes when I gulped and didn't answer him, his eyes glowed red before the glass table beside me broke into pieces which made my eyes grow wide. "Is he?" He asked coming near me with a look in his eyes which made me scared. 

I stopped breathing for a few seconds and my face paled. This must be the right time to tell him but what if Xanthos would get hurt from my situation but he too had the mysterious powers which made him equally inhuman. My palms started sweating and I blinked looking at the now broken table.
