The sun rose above the horizon, sending a soft light across The Pond. The residents sleeping soundly with the confines of the building. When it seemed that nothing could break the mornings peaceful atmosphere, a loud scream filled the air around the Pond. Echoing through the empty streets, startling the birds that were nesting in the trees.
“NOSEDIVE!!! YOU JERK!! GET BACK HERE!!!”
Nosedive laughed loudly as he ran through the various hallways, trying to find a suitable place to hide from the very pissed off red head that he knew would be on his heels in a matter of seconds. Like a lioness stalking her prey. He saw his bedroom come into view as he rounded the corner and tried to run faster. If he could make it there he would be safe. He was only a few feet away when a foot shot out of the shadows, tripping him. Nosedive fell flat on face, shrieking in shock. He franticly looked around, seeing Duke step out of the shadows of the hallway.
“Traitor!!”, Nosedive hissed at him. Duke just smirked.
“Hey you made the bed, now you have to lie in it.”, he responded, just as Mallory came around the corner. She saw Dive helpless on the floor and pounced. She began smacking him and screaming at him. Nosedive cried out for mercy but received none. Duke just sat back and watch the mornings entertainment as he slowly sipped his coffee. He couldn’t help but smile. This was a common occurrence around here. Nosedive would wait until Duke left Mallory and his bedroom early in the morning for his workout. Then sneak into the room while Mallory was in the shower. Question was, what did he do this morning?
Finally Mallory had extracted her revenge on the teen, she stood up, sending a quick look of thanks to Duke, then storming back to her room. Duke watched as she left, shaking his head. He knelt down beside a groaning Nosedive.
“So what was it this morning Nosedive?”, Duke asked, sitting down his cup of coffee to help Dive into a sitting position.
“It was just a fake spider hanging over the bathroom door. Nothing that deserved a beating.”, Dive replied, running a hand over his hair. His back, chest, and face beginning to sting. “Why did you let her catch me?”
“Because Nosedive, I share a bed with that woman. I need to stay on her good side from now on.”, Duke explained.
“Why?”
“You will learn one day Nosedive. When you’re in a relationship, there are things a woman can punish you with that will make you suffer like never before.”, Duke told him, pulling him to his feet.
“Oh I get it, You do something bad you don’t get laid. I see what you mean now.” Nosedive said, laughing.
“Exactly. You understand the situation. Go to your room and nurse your wounds. Or would you like for me to fetch Tanya?”, Duke offered, walking with Dive to his bedroom door.
“I’ll think about it. I might have to hobble my way to the medic bay later on when everyone wakes up. Right now I’m going back to bed. See ya Duke.”, Nosedive said, opening his door and disappearing within.
Duke chuckled, walking back down the hallways, heading back to his room. He opened the door to see Mallory lying back on the bed. As if she had just come back into the room and jumped on the bed. He looked at her in confusion, usually she was up and about, dressed and ready to face the day. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her.
“Are you ok, sweetheart?”, he asked, concerned. He laid his hand on her back, rubbing it slightly. The only answer he got was a soft grunt. Now he knew something was wrong. One minute she had so much energy, kicking the crap out of Nosedive, and now she was dead to the world. He rolled her over onto her back, looking her over. She looked sick. Her hair was a tangled mess, her skin was pale and clammy, her eyes were slightly cracked and her usually lively eyes were dull. He reached his hand up and felt her forehead. She seemed to have a slight fever too.
“Mal, baby, are you feeling alright?”, he asked her, cupping her cheek into his hand, turning her face towards his. She looked up at him and shook her head. Duke sighed and stood up. He picked her up from her position and tucked her under the covers. He pulled the blankets up to her chin and turned to leave the room to fetch Tanya when a cold, clammy hand grabbed onto his wrist. He turned around and saw Mallory staring weakly back at him. She whimpered slightly and tugged on his hand. He understood instantly and climbed under the covers with her. He wrapped his arms around her, letting her head rest on his chest.
Duke became extremely worried at this. He had never heard Mallory whimper before. Was she in pain? Was something seriously wrong with her? He tightened his grip on her and laid his chin on the top of her head. He knew that Mallory hated to show weakness to anyone, even him. Something was wrong here. She wasn’t her self. She seemed fine when she was chasing down Nosedive but maybe that made it worse.
Duke’s thoughts were interrupted but a yell and a loud thump. He untangled his self from Mallory’s side and left the warmth of the bed. He tuned back around to tell her he would be right back but noticed that she was fast asleep. He sighed and left the room. He walked down the hallway and turned the corner to see Wildwing griping onto the wall, trying to stand. Duke was about to ask what had happened but noticed the coffee spilt all over the floor. Duke rushed over and helped Wildwing to stand fully.
“I am so sorry, Wing. That was completely my fault. I sat down my cup of coffee to help Nosedive off the floor after Mallory beat the life out of him.” Duke explained, running his hand over the back of his neck in embarrassment.
“It’s alright Duke. It woke my senses up, that’s for sure.”, Wing chuckled.
“Hey Wing, you think you can have Tanya swing by my room later. Mallory is sick and….” Duke was cut off by Wildwing’s worried outburst.
“Wait!? Mallory is sick! No way! She has never been sick. This is strange.”, Wing remarked, slightly shocked. Duke nodded and began walking back to his room with Wildwing hot on his heels. He walked into the room and Wing went straight to Mallory, feeling her forehead.
“She’s burning up Duke! This is just scary! Mallory never gets sick. I’m gonna get Tanya!”, Wing said, worry leaking through his voice. He quickly exited the room to find the team’s docter. Duke sighed. Was Wing over reacting? Was Mallory really that sick? He knew it was Wing’s job to worry about everyone’s health. Mallory was like a little sister to Wing. He was fiercely overprotective of Mallory. When Duke first began dating Mallory, Wing pulled him aside and gave him the ’you-make-her-cry-just-once-and-I’ll-break-every-bone-in-your-body-speech’.
Duke looked at Mallory’s sleeping form. He couldn’t loose her. They had just moved in together. A big step. He cared for her a lot. And to see her this ill and weak was tearing at his very soul. He walked over to her side and knelt down next to the bed. He brushed fallen pieces of hair from her face, and kissed her forehead.
“I love you baby girl. Don’t leave me.”, he whispered, kissing her again. Tanya chose that moment to come into the room. Duke stood and greeted her. Tanya shooed him out of the room so she could check Mallory over. Duke stepped into the hallway and saw Wing waiting for him.
“Come on Duke. Let’s let the mad scientist do her thing.”, Wing said, taking Duke by the arm, pulling him slightly down the hallway.
A loud “I heard that!” came from the room, making Wing chuckle. Duke didn’t even seem to hear it. His thoughts were to wrapped up in his own thoughts. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t shake the bad feeling he had deep down. Something bad was happening.
