Heat dances around my forehead as soon as my eyelids flutter, I don’t know for how long have I been sleeping, but I sure needed this shuteye.
“How are you feeling? Can you walk?” “Not g-good, Ethan, I don’t think I can,”
She’s sick; I need to confirm my suspicion.
I saunter into the room, holding onto the door frame, “R-Riles, oh, gosh, Riles?” I can see the infection spreading through her, invading her cells slowly.
“B-Bell…” I stumble toward her, my knees cave in, I lift my weight and gribble her into a hug, “I missed you, I thought-thought you turned; how did you survive?”
I pull away from her, “I had t-to kill them both, Bell, well, I think it was them, it looked like t-them… everyone in the house turned crazy within m-minutes, I had to jump the window, and h-hide here,”
She sobs
