As she helped the wounded vampire up the stairs, she listened carefully to Velvet. Of course, Theria knew that old vampires weren’t killed that easily, but every time a resident was hurt, Doctor Duscenia had to be called. Even if by the time she arrived the resident in question was completely healed.
“Sorry. It’s protocol. Any injured resident must be looked at by Doctor Duscenia. No exceptions.” She said as she helped carry Velvet. Xena meanwhile, was eyeing Velvet really carefully. She knew that, as a little python, she wouldn’t be able to actually defend against Velvet, so she took a position right next to Theria’s ear, ready to grab the glasses should the need arise.
As they entered, Velvet quickly darted away from Theria, which took Xena a bit by surprise. Theria watched as Velvet completely destroyed her own mini-fridge in a desperate rush to get the sustenance she desired.
“I’ll need to tell Max to order a new one…” She said to herself.
Theria watched as Velvet tore through the stash of blood, but she stood silent by the doorway, letting the vampire feed itself. While the Vampire fed, Theria took a quick glance back to the hallway, hoping to spot doctor Duscenia. There was no doctor, but there clearly was a very distinct trail of blood that led directly to the room. She made a mental note to call the cleaning crew as soon as she had the chance.
Duscenia’s lateness was strange however. As a Dryad, Duscenia could appear at any location where there was nature, and the potted plants by the stairs were not dead… At least they didn’t appear to be dead… Did Max forgot to call the doctor?
As Velvet ended her feeding spree and turned on the monitor, Layla hissed, telling Theria that Suzy was near the computer. She thanked Layla and took some steps forward, leaving the door slightly open for the Doctor to enter when she arrived.
“Dignity? Come on, you have seen me multiple times rushing to get the antidote and de-petrify Max. We all have bad days. Still, I think I, as the assistant manager, could have prevented this, so I’m going to see if it’s possible to have a fridge by the entrance with emergency supplies” She said as Suzy began writing on the computer. Layla was paying attention of course, and in the moment, a wave of sadness reached Theria.
Snakes couldn’t cry, but her snake’s feelings sometimes leaked to Theria… as well as to the other snakes. She took a look at the computer… Theria didn’t know the story of Suzy. She never bothered to ask. And now that she knew part of it, she couldn’t help but let some tears drop.
As she was about to say something, she heard a knock on the door. Theria looked back to see that Duscenia had finally arrived.
“Excuse me. I heard a vampire here needed a check up. Even if it’s going to be a very quick one.” Said Duscenia with her usual whimsical voice.
“Finally. Doctor Duscenia, please make sure Lady Coventry is fine. I’ll need to go contact some more staff.” said Theria as she slithered back towards the door.
“You’re in good care Lady Coventry. I’m going to see what I can do about that fridge I mentioned. Have a good day.”As Theria left the room, she closed the door behind her, letting the Dryad do her magic. She slowly slithered towards the stairway but then stopped.
“Layla… Is there anyone?” She whispered to her snake. Layla gave a low hiss, letting Theria know that there was no one around. Theria took that moment to face the wall, remove her glasses and clean the tears that had started to accumulate on her eyes as the snakes formed a curtain around her face, trying to prevent any accidental looks towards the Gorgon’s eyes. She didn’t dare spend too much time like that. Someone could arrive at any moment, so after cleaning the tears, she put her glasses back on and took a deep breath, continuing on her way back to the main lobby.
