"Yes, it"ll help," Nikto nodded. He injected the medicine he brought into Asa"s vein. Then he pulled out the needle, waited for a while and injected another dose. He hadn"t finished pushing blood mixed with the restorer back into her vein yet when a convulsion went over her whole body. She arched her back. Nikto barely had time to yank out the needle. Asa was shaking. Enriki sat down on her legs. She wheezed, she was shivering and trembling so hard that Tol could barely hold her head on his lap. Suddenly she screamed and started breaking free; her hands scratched the carpet breaking the fingernails.

Asa shrieked so loudly that Orel covered his ears. Enriki and Tol did their best holding her in place. She jerked for a few minutes, then went limp suddenly and trembled thinly. She opened her eyes. Nikto yanked out the pin from her chin freeing her tongue.

"Raise her," he said to Tol.

Tol quickly raised her holding her under her armpits. Asa puked onto her chest.

"Oh shit," Orel moaned.

Enriki got off her legs. She pulled her legs up, then got on her fours and started throwing up. After that she sat rocking like a drunk, looking at them with dim eyes. There was blood leaking from her mouth. She moaned and fell on her side, curled in a ball and shivered from time to time.

"That"s it," Nikto said. "She"s survived but she"ll stay down for a long time."

Tol wiped his tears and leaned to her.

"Asa, my little Asa, what have you done? Forgive me, Asa," he patted her raven-black tousled hair.

"Yeah," Enriki said, "you can"t jump over your head."

"She wanted to be cooler than everyone," Orel snorted, "what a fool she is, Tol! No normal person would use the stimulators you take."

"Don"t say that," Tol whined, "she wanted us to be proud of her and admire her strength."

"She was worth of three men," Orel said. "Now she"s worth nothing."

"She"ll restore," Tol said, "I"ll help her."

"Yes, help her but don"t run screaming to us again: "Arel! Nikto! Help her, save her!"" Orel mimicked Tol.

Enriki laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Tol yelled at him. "Asa is sick and you"re laughing!"

"Let"s go, let them get lovey-dovey alone. Tol, come down for breakfast."

"Fuck you," he snapped hugging Asa like a child.

They walked downstairs.
