Frozen Transfusion

[Sanguine Frozen Boy]

Samantha cried in her hands as she sat on the doctor's bed, small bandages on her shoulders from scraping on the walls of the deck. Her cheek was swollen from when the phantom had fired a mortar sqaure into the front of the ship and sent her flying into the deck of the ship. She couldn't believe she had lost to them. She didnt care that she was outnumbered or that she had little experience, she had made such a fuss about it that she felt like a fool. All she wanted was to kill them, why couldn't they just play fair and fight her one on one. She still remembered being forced to eject with the others as well as a large number of the crew, being lucky the phantoms didn't seem interested in such a small prize as was her life pod. After drifting through space for a small bit of time, the Kusari police recovered the life pods and had taken them back to New Tokyo.

"It's not all bad Samantha, we were heavily outnumbered, although, I would've taken the offer to go after that lone phantom when you had the chance..." Frozen said as he patted her on the back. He was completely unscathed and had been able to stand perfectly on the deck through the whole fight even up the part where he had to carry Samantha to the ejection pod.

"You're not making me feel any better!" She whimpered as tears went down her cheeks. She remembered the feeling of seeing the phantom ships, her temples had begun to pulse and she felt her heart race as she had dropped the first phantoms shields in less than a second. Her lip was no bleeding from biting down too hard and she did not look forward to the scar it would leave until she could get some blood into her system. After she had brought the ships shields down, the rest of the battle was very bad and she felt very stupid for attacking the incredibly hard to hit hugenot.

"How do you think your father feels? He's having another ship custom made but now he's going to feel disheartened about letting you have the helm.

Samantha didn't hear him as she curled up into a ball, her ears limp as her tail was as well. "I had the feeling, but I wanted phantom blood."

Frozen was drinking a cup of water at the moment and nearly choked as he heard the words come out of her mouth."Phantom blood? Samantha, i'm not sure they even have blood. Maybe you should go for something alittle less...dangerous. They really don't play by the rules anyhow."

Samantha stood up in the small white outfit patients wore and gripped her fists tightly. "No, I have my mind set on Phantom blood now and I won't rest until I drain one of them of all their blood and watch the life fade from their eyes."

Frozen sighed. "Firstly, the person you're going to be 'trading blood with' won't die. They'll get a slight life extension as they'll be recieving a temporary dose of 'your blood'." He knelt down in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Secondly, what are you going to do, shoot them until they give up? They'll just run away."

"I'll disable their engines!" She was determined to have her way.

"Samantha, look, when the new ship gets done, your father is going to give you a second chance. He's very uneasy with you having so little oxygen to your brain."

Samantha crossed her arms and felt defeated. She turned around and could still feel the pain of loss as she climbed back into bed. She didn't say anything and curled up in the hospital sheets. "It's not my ship so I guess i'll have to listen to you."

"Ok good, now i'm going to go make sure your father isn't more injured than he looked last time we saw him. Try to get some rest." He took a moment to pet her before leaving.

"But when you let me take control, i'm going to go right for those phantoms..." Samantha purred a bit to herself, her eyes turned red as she gripped her pillow. "I will have phantom blood to nurture me..."
