Blood In Phlegm Sore Throat Cold



Chapter Ten "If I Needed Someone" Nora



Day 13, 14:43

The house is quiet.

But contrary to what was expected, it makes me uncomfortable. This silence gives me quiet, calm. Something does not feel much in my own home. Because now I know I have to be afraid of questions from my parents, I am caught with the phone or they do not seem appropriate my clothes. Not even that has come with Dylan.

leave the keys on the hall table and start to climb the stairs, listening to the faint creak of wood under my feet. I can not help but wonder where is my mother.

At work? Do you hide in the house of some acquaintances? Perhaps out of Evansville? I just hope it does not return for the moment, I need to clarify and decide what position I will take with respect to it and their actions.

I open the door to my bedroom and I go without delay to the bathroom, where I turn on the light and look in the mirror. It's worse than I had imagined.

My hair looks like a bird's nest, I have a pale face with blue and purple bruises. The patch on the forehead is smeared with blood stained my jeans. Saves only the sweatshirt, that only is wrinkled from sleeping on it. "

"I'm a monster .- sentenced.

I'm not complaining, I'm just stating a fact. Look bad out of a horror movie.

"Do not you contradict me .- Dylan, leaning against the door frame while watching my reflection in the mirror .- You have been ready to die and, nevertheless, are quite acceptable.

I throw a withering look and I take off my sweatshirt to throw it to the head.

"Thanks for your encouragement.

Laughing, grabs her and looks at me.

"Seriously, everything has a solution.

- Why do not you stop mess with me? "He complained, removing also to check the jersey I wear the shirt underneath has gone so bad off .- Long, I'm going to shower.

- What do I do while? "He asked, frowning.

-Think about how I can make the ball to forgive you for what you said .- I suggest, pushing to get the bathroom and shut the door in his face.

Without wanting to hear their complaints, I turn the shower water and start to take off my clothes, resented the pain that causes me to do certain movements. Willing to change the dressing, which I take off my back and crawl under running hot water.

hurts everything, even the pressure of the water falling on my injury bothers me, but I'm willing to do anything to regain a normal appearance. I detangle hair barely using some creams and I take the land from the hands and face carefully.

After twenty minutes of struggle against dirt, I can be content and leave the tub to dry with a towel and comb my hair.

"Oh no ... - muttered when I realize I have no clean clothes.

- Is something wrong? "Asks Dylan to the other side of the door.

"Close your eyes .- .- And do I order if you wish to paste.

- What ...? Okay, is .- I said.

Sighing, I cover the best I can with the towel and go abroad, going on tiptoe to reach the side of my closet and pull out clothes inside. After giving in shorts and a jersey that point I will, I take the towel and dress in a hurry.

"There, you can open them .- I say when I leave the bathroom for a towel in place and digging through my medicine cabinet gauze to cover my head gap.

- What happened? "She asks, peering through the door again.

"I had no clothes .- reply, removing the bandages with a victorious smile on the box .- Can you help me wear it? "Of course .-

decisively, and takes it out of its plastic .- How long have you carry it?

"At least two days ... Or so I think I said Denia, yesterday I was too focused .- admit, putting my most innocent face not to scold me for not paying attention.

"Better that I find I end up by yourself or taking it to graduation .- growls, focusing on the task of carefully place over the wound.

"Do not worry so much about me and my dressing .- I say, laughing.

.- I can not help with serious answers before finalizing their work and get hands .- You will get used.

I look into your eyes trying to understand what I mean. Do you frequently? Is this going to be our routine? Have you changed your mind, no longer afraid?

- Nora?

A familiar voice makes me forget all those questions to make me into the hallway, where a disheveled woman, her eyes swollen from crying, watching helplessly.

Instinctively, Dylan takes a step forward, as if he really believed that my mother is going to hurt me.

- What ... are you doing here? - Asked quietly, not fully understood.

"My child, what happened? - Ignoring my question is about until it is intercepted by Dylan, who has no intention of letting me play.

"I asked a question .- harshly warned him .- And if you're interested, you and your husband have done this with that damn cult.

Mary's face is pale and his eyes seek mine, trying to figure out if what the guy says is true or false.

"They did not have to go for you ...

- How could you, Mom? - I know, hoping that there is some explanation that allows me to forgive.

It was the only solution .- your voice shakes, not sure of his words and still try to convince me of it .- Where is your brother?

She's not here. And I will not bring you back to it after you have done.

I do not want her death, when the three of us go and flee from this hell. He is no longer contagious, the other priest could take it and be back to normal.

- How it is no longer contagious? "I ask, unfinished to understand .- He has not taken any medication.

"I gave no" answers supiese. it naturally before realizing that the topic of conversation has shifted .- If not here, what's he doing here? "He came

conmigo.-answer without hesitation, knowing that I am challenging all standards.

"You know I do not like to come home with kids.

actually know what you mean is that I have strictly forbidden to bring a friend without asking permission to be home alone with a boy joins the group for more serious crimes.

"And I do not like to try to kill Ethan and my amigos.-sentenced with irony .- Oh, by the way, get rid of the idea out of here. I know what Dad has to end up dead and I know it will for you, but I'm not going to go. Here is my life.

Without wanting to hear more empty words, shut the door to stop leaning against it as he groped for the key bolt. I want to leave my life, not ever appear again.

The room is silent while listening to the footsteps of my mother away aimlessly, letting me relax now that he is not going to be screaming from the second floor landing.

"We should not let it be, we must ...

- over to the police? - Concluded by Dylan, opening his eyes to meet his eyes .- It is my mother. And he has committed many errors, I want.

explain it does not bother me, because somehow I've come to realize that for him the emotional bonds between family members lose their meaning and value. It will be difficult to make him understand, but I have the intention of spending all my patience with it.

"So ... what do you do?" She asks, tilting her head.

"My mother is not so ... strict if it is not my father. And now ... it's obvious he will not return, maybe we can leave in peace and forget todo.-answer unconvinced. Dylan

doubt for a second. Knows that this is an impossible wish that we can or should do, but choose to accept it with a slight nod and change the subject.

- Do not dry your hair should not kick you to catch cold and rest? "He asked but sounds more like an order that I meet.

-dry to me alone, I have no desire to quarrel with the dryer .- excuse me, pulling on the bed before you can scold by my indolence.

smiled, accommodation pads to my back as I reach to take command of the mini-chain that starts sounding radio. Anything to avoid my mother would hear the other side of the door.

Not knowing what to do, Dylan leans against my desk facing the bed, hoping that I do or say something. As

not think of anything intelligent to drop, I lean over and pick up a book off the ground with the intention to do some homework now that I've finally found the time. So many things have happened lately in my life that I've almost forgotten that I have yet to pass the course.

- Need help?-It offers surprises.

- Are you good at science? "I care, because in truth I have no idea what has notes. I do not put

-interest, but I have some skill .- acknowledges with humility, being interrupted by the sound of my mobile phone. Seeing him lying on my table, picks it up and watch the screen .- It is Lydia.

"Put your hands free .- I ask, lying face up on the mattress. What if I did not say he would call me at night? I still do not know or five in the afternoon.

Compliant, Dylan hit the back button and leave it on the surface, recovering its initial position to the waiting for us to start the conversation without being noticed.

- Nora! Tell me all the details, I know to the number of times you catch your breath! - Lydia screams not even say hello.

I look up to the guy, considering what we do. Do not interrupt him that I am alone or I tell him to test all Dylan? The truth is that I can not resist the little game and I do not care who knows what I think. At the end of the day he has been honest with me.

"Relax, you do not cry I laugh .- .- Why are you so nervous? "I

I have news. Well, just one. But it is big news .- responds, speaking so fast that the words appear together. "Tell me you

.- first then decide, knowing that in fact dying to tell me.

"Okay, let's see. Now I'm going to my house, I have been with Taylor since you've left in the infirmary with your boy so far .- Dylan looks alarmed me when Lydia pronounce the words, "your kid." I dedicate an angelic smile and continue with the conversation.

- And? Have you missed something?

- I've kissed! - Cry and this time it does manage to surprise me. And my friend too, because rising eyebrows curiously.

- Really?

- Oh yes! I do not believe, Nora! ... It's been so unreal, so fantastic! Oh my God! I have a boyfriend and Taylor! - Exclaims to convince herself.

laughs, feeling really happy about the news. How can I not rejoice?

- It's great, Lydia! It was time for something to happen good. You see I was right? He likes you.

"If I fail to give the push, it would have been like years .- complain.

-Normal, you said you liked Ethan.

I suppose it's a good reason .- acknowledges, laughing with joy. I have never been so happy .- Well, now it's your turn. Begins. I want all the details and urgently. Determined to speak

watching Dylan, I settle on my bed and took a deep breath, hoping that he knows to keep quiet. His black eyes bored into mine with intensity, making me feel his own curiosity and excitement in my future words. Anyway, here goes.

"Yesterday I was with Darren as you know, had something important to say .- start slowly, measuring my words carefully.

"It's true, what did he say?" He interrupted her before she can continue, making me smile for his impatience.

"Nothing, I kissed .- respond quickly and I hasten to continue .- And just as Dylan did was surveillance and therefore saw it all.

- Oh my God! What a soap opera I've lost! Go on! - Again is crying .- Did you hit? "It became wolf ate the boy to bits? I'm waiting, I think you're going to surprise again and here is a very comfortable log .- informs me.

loose another laugh, getting ready to go.

"Almost. Grunted very unattractive that gave me goosebumps and I went to another area to talk to Darren .- Dylan crosses his arms, shifting his weight from leg to keep listening .- I explained everything above ... do not know what bad I felt rejected, Lydia.

- Why? I mean, is that you had another. You like Dylan.

I blush for his last statement, but I continue talking normally to conceal.

"Yes, the problem is that if none of this would have happened if Darren had been released ten days ago, it would have rejected. I like being with him, he is handsome and nice, funny. And I go and rejection ... It makes no sense, so I get frustrated. Because you have rejected the impossible .- loose this forgetting that he is a few meters from me.

I ignore, I do not know how I am looking at now.

-O affection. But is that life is, how you feel about Dylan is much stronger than you feel or you might feel for Darren. Feelings Force who is not be a big mistake, especially considering that your friendship .- romperíais while my friend answered, hear how it moves from its position beside the phone to sit beside me in bed.

I keep staring at the quilt. At least I will be so until I get over the shame.

"I guess you're right ... - sigh.

"Come on, continues. Something else had to happen for you to complete so pretty in the camp of your brother .- jokes, cheering up a bit. Just a little.

"I was a lot of time talking to Darren, so when I finished I wanted to go home ... but I found Dylan and he was pretty pissed off about what he had seen .- remember, smiling.

"Let me guess: Discuss how the two of you just know it. "Exactly .-

river, raising her head to look back at the boy.

There is no emotion in his face, which is partly good, because it is not angry at all I'm saying. It's just there, waiting to crash to express their opinion.

- What's it? "Every man for himself?

Swallowed hard before answering, blushing.

"I said something and ...

- What did he say? Sigh

and this time it is he who looks away, her cheeks tornándosele a slight reddish hue.

"That I wanted. And we kissed before I was because he made it clear that I was too afraid to try a relationship .- whispered with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

And I can not help but think that now is only with me because he believes was his fault that I was attacked last night.

"Oh, Nora ... I do not know what to say .- Lydia recognized after a pause .- That is, it's fantastic that's who loves you, is precious and yet to return to kiss, but ... I really do not going to try? This morning parecíais be fine. I think.

-came to me after I found Scott in the woods, slept with me, it was ... I do not know, different, the Dylan that I like. But I do not mean anything, fear can not be magically disappeared within twenty-four hours .- replied, venting to start all those negative thoughts out of my head.

"If I'm honest, I do not know how these things work with someone as special as your baby. But if you said you want, for nothing. I believe I can ignore that feeling and return to fight with you as usual.

I be right, that Dylan heard his words and somehow decide that it is true that in any way we can return to our old relationship. But he still does not reflect any emotion, waiting patiently.

may not have been such a good idea to take the call with speaker before him.

I do not understand why this has to happen just to me ...

"The truth is that I do not understand it, you do not deserve my support .- .- Agh ...

- What is it?" I wonder still a little lost in my thoughts.


"I do not ...
A new cry comes up to my ears, making me frown as I watch my phone.

- Lydia? What happens?

A thud followed by silence. Jumping out of bed without bothering to think I still feel pain all over my body and grab the phone, waiting and my friend answered.

- Lydia? "Lydia?!

a leap, Dylan stands up and takes my phone, asking me to keep quiet while wearing the device to the ear with the intention of hearing something.

"No cars, appears to continue in the forest .- reasonably quickly before hanging up and start dialing a number I will let .- Ethan.

- What happened? "He asked, stopping before you press the call button.

I do not know, but I have a bad feeling .- recognizes pressing .- I will go to the forest now.

-.- I decide I'll walk, throwing to the closet to begin foraging for warmer clothes.

"You must rest, objects Nora .- quickly, giving me a look that does not support replication.

At another point in our relationship had me cowering, but not this time.

I can not stay here alone with my mother until it is well known that .- Lydia replied.

- Nora? What? - Ethan's voice coming from my phone, making silent.

"I'm the guy Dylan .- answer back to me .- It is Lydia, your sister was ...

I lock myself in the bathroom to change clothes while Dylan explains everything that has happened, feeling the pulse trembles while I snap the black trousers button. What if the hunters have returned and been caught as they did with me?

While my brain has time to think more dire possibilities, I go back to my room and grab a coat that I hasten to wear. As I see Dylan hangs up, I turn to him.

"Come. Do not try to argue because I think you follow.

"You're a stubborn .- growls, getting my phone in the pocket of his pants as he heads toward the exit.

frowns when trying to open the door with his hand bandaged him, but still open and is forced out into the hall, hoping to follow as I have promised.

try to erase from my face a smile as I start down the stairs. This I like. Lydia

Get Well Balloons Coments





Day 13, 11:30

do not quite understand everything that happened while I slept soundly in my bed after spending more than a fun afternoon with Taylor. People talk about shooting, wounded, a group of men tried to kill all the infected and their protectors. But nobody is sure of anything and the information I have is uncertain.

As I woke up and saw Taylor's message, I got dressed to go running into the woods and reach the new camp, which now has become a sort of hospital where more than eighty percent of people . Thank God I do not recognize any of my new friends there. Denia

extending from one side to another, tired, carrying bandages and drinks, trying to meet as many people as possible. Adriana accompanies it, more lost in his thoughts that worried about their work. But no trace of others at least not yet.

I know that Taylor is to review these booklets Ethan my brother and I borrowed that are somehow related to what has happened. I do not know they may have to find it useful, though, of course, we must note that I did not even have had a look. Fun with my brother never very interested and less since I started getting into things of religious sects that are pretty scary.

leave my gaze wander around the course, looking at the faces in the hope of recognizing someone. Scott is on the side. Her face is bruised, but smiling casually while talking to a guy that I know of nothing. Since I have three localized well.

Now Nora. And I guess it the way Dylan. Because if he has become someone so important to my friend I have to start worrying about it too.

Before you can really focus on my research, I have already found. Near the entrance of the cave are the two. She is pale, covered with wounds and with a patch on the forehead. But smiles, and does so with sincerity as she talks to Dylan, who, to my surprise, it also seems to be enjoying the conversation.

This is so weird ... two of them. How could this happen? I suppose there is a reason that can explain when neither of them can understand. Thus, simply.

'm still considering the approach or not when Nora raises his head and sees me and making me smile extending a hand gesture for me to come to them. Well, I'm glad now that is ... boy or whatever I ignore.

Without knowing how I should behave with them two ahead now, I walk slowly to stop at both.

-God, Nora ... what happened? "- All those worries disappear when I see it up close. Has worst aspect of that was thought at first.

I squat in front of her waiting for an explanation to reassure me. "I mistook

con una de los infectados y quisieron acabar conmigo.- responde, encogiéndose de hombros.- Pero me dejaron sólo inconsciente y Scott me encontró, así que estoy bien.

-¿De verdad?- insisto, sin terminar de creérmelo.- ¿Por qué nadie me llamó?

-Porque ocurrió a las tantas de la madrugada y tenía la esperanza de que aún siguieses con Taylor a salvo.

-Error: a las tantas de la madrugada estaba mi cama.- me apresuro a aclarar, rezando para no ruborizarme.- Llegué pronto a casa, pero Taylor también está bien, no volvió a bosque.

-Lo sé, me lo dijo Ethan esta mañana.- sonríe.

-Entonces, ¿los dos are you okay? - I choose to ask this time, putting Dylan on the conversation.

He looks at me not knowing what to say, uncomfortable with the situation that I found. The truth is I do not know if now is to Nora will be more pleasant or continue with your mood.

Nora looks at him a second before answering, as if trying to transmit part of its tranquility.

"Yes, let's leave the forest and I'll go home and sleep for hours.

- What about your parents? Something

dims on his face when he uttered the last word, but shakes his head and forced me to respond without a glimpse of what happens.

"They're at home and now that my brother will go to the police, do not think they care much I have spent a night away .- answer.

"I guess you're right .- seen so agree, leaving for later the tema." I'm going back to my house, I guess afternoon see if I can help with anything. Now we just need people to support the blood and unfortunately I am one of those who faint.

"I think it's perfect, I'll call at night .- says, giving me a look that promises me the good news.

I think I will not have the patience to wait for the night and call me, I certainly do in the afternoon as soon as you finished studying o lo que sea. Porque supongo que ahora que no me tengo que preocupar por nadie podré centrarme en terminar los deberes… Creo.

Guardándome las manos en los bolsillos de mi abrigo para refugiarlas del frío, salgo de la enfermería con la intención de llegar cuanto antes a Evansville, dejando, tal vez para siempre, Hidden Woods.

Como ya viene siendo costumbre, el brazo me comienza a picar de nuevo. Odio que el forro de mi abrigo me produzca alergia, pero no pienso dejar de llevarlo por ello. Aún quedan unas cuantas semanas de frío intenso y no tengo ninguna prenda más que sea tan cálida como esta. Tendré que soportarlo como sea.

-¿Ya te vas?

Alguien gets in my way when I'm missing just a few meters to go back to town, I can see far, among the leafy treetops, the first houses. However, I have no problem in delaying a couple of minutes I left.

"I've seen they are all well, so ... I dunno, I think I have to go back to normal now that all this will end .- I explain, turning with a smile .- You should not be with Ethan?

"I was with him, I explained everything and gave him the leaflet your brother. But he told me to stay, I get nervous at these things and lying is not mine, had broken his history of having been with him .- responds approached me.

- And why you come into fights with trees? - Joked, seeing his wild hair, and leaves that have been entangled in it .- You have scratches on his face, let your hair ...
Al
moment passes his hand through his hair, pulling some of the leaves.

"Oh, well. I do not notice these things when I am wolf .- is excused, blushing as usual.

"I thought so. Come, come.

With his decision to throw a log near and sit on it, waiting for Taylor to squat in front of me.

- So I'm hideous? - Laughs with some uncertainty.

"It's awful hard for you .- commented, hoping that calm .- Just get pints of Wild.

a laugh at my comment, I may take the leaves hair being careful not to hurt. They are so tangled that I start to think that he has done on purpose.

- So you'll be stuck at home today?

"I have a better plan. Will evacuate the wood, and I is not much help, I'll have to wait. What do you gonna do?

Taylor shrugs, giving me to understand that no plan.

I have to admit ... our appointment yesterday ... or whatever was pretty funny. Although, as expected, nothing happened. Seriously starting to doubt what I said Nora, especially after how I rejected in my house. That discourages me, because I know that if I continue with it end up too involved to say that I do not care that we are just friends. Although I doubt that I've reached that point, I am too involved in the matter.

"I guess I need here. Or I hope so. If not, go to see Ivy .- decide at the end.

"Surely she can not wait to see you .- I encourage you, taking a handkerchief from my purse maybe .- This stings you a little, but it is better to take your blood to take a face full of scratches.

-Forward.

Carefully start to withdraw the drops of blood, thereby ensuring that it is only superficial scratches.

"You have to be more careful, okay?

"Do not worry, I'll .- I promise, smiling again.

I stay silent, not knowing what else to say, slowly fulfilling my task for me in the situation not to have finished and have nothing else to do or say. I do not know why this is so violent.

At another point in my life the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing so close to the guy I like I would have been exciting and unique opportunity that would have benefited. But I'm discouraged for my previous thoughts, I can not help it. Taylor is too shy to nothing, probably just see me as a great friend crazy having a horrible life.

- What is it? "He asks, pulling me from my thoughts.

I look for a few seconds before leaving the tissue in one hand and lie back slightly to keep his distance. However, he remains there, resting his hands on my knees to steady herself.

"I've stuck a shock to learn that had tried to kill them, I'm still assimilating all is well .- treatment inadvertently make you feel bad.

"Oh, come on. That is not always Lydia complains .- with a grin .- Where are your energy? Your desire to laugh? These are the things that I like to me ... and everyone, of course .- the latter is added hastily, as if he had realized that his sentence was too personal unfinished.

I look for a few seconds directly to his dark chocolate eyes, trying to see something else. Normally I have no fear of consequences, I do not care what might happen. So why should I change now so to be? Nora and I trust what he said, may just have to give a push to have the courage to step forward ...

Again I lean forward and smile.

.- I give You're right, taking the handkerchief again to finish with my homework.

Vale, is more than obvious that it intends to kiss me. And since I do not think so because I still have some dignity in the body, we must encourage him to do so.

be back to throw the handkerchief and stared at the face, raising an eyebrow as I struggle to suppress a smile.

- What? - Asked, puzzled.

- this time not going to kiss me? "I loose, leaving him speechless. In two seconds

goes from being all white to be more flushed cheeks than ever.

"I thought you liked Ethan whispers .- without moving an inch.

-Ya. I thought so until I started to know you and I realized what I really feel when someone you love .- I answer, smiling nervously as he has done is for listening to my words.

-Go ... - murmured, assimilating new information slowly.

still questionable and more than shy, sits up and takes my hands to lift me also. I hardly get used to the idea that he is trying to take the reins and control the situation, but I like to see how it strives to overcome his shyness for me.

"I can not believe this is happening ... .- acknowledges with a chuckle nervously. Believe it

"Well, because the more you will be late as end going crazy .- I warn you.

with indecision and fear of not doing so well, loosen my hands to hug the waist, resting his forehead against mine before taking the final step.

-Sorry to be so ... so apologies .- .- quietly take chances I never thought so after you and tell me you liked Ethan ...

-If you were not so "well", I would not .- I remember him, starting to feel my cheeks burning.

When I can no longer be redder still, bends down and makes me close eyes instinctively to receive their care kiss, that nothing was apparently what was expected of him.

No doubt, no inexperience or nervousness. Just being careful and loving, shaking gently and making me feel like never before.

And I can only think of how stupid I was to believe that Ethan liked when Taylor was in my life.

Forgetting everything, I put my hands on his shoulders and get ready to respond with the same smoothness. Nora

Im Addicted To Extra Strong Mints





Day 13, 5:30

"I'll turn off the lights, try to sleep until dawn .- Denia announced before the last turn of the lanterns leaving nursing almost dark as she continues working.

I cringe under the covers, looking for a position I would not be painless and take shelter from the cold now that I've managed to stop shivering.

"Do not accommodate much, is Scott .- Dylan tells me, still sitting with my feet and stared at the skyline.

The few lights shine in his eyes black, with pale face. Returns to be as serious as usual, but something in his attitude remains different. Is relaxed, does not seem ready to jump at any time. He's comfortable with me and I love it.

- Scott? Now I remember

Denia words: it was he who took me from the forest. I wake up suddenly, feeling dizzy from the sudden movement and noting that a shiver through me to have stayed the body without the support of the blankets.

"Do not talk so loud, Denia has not stopped coming to see you and if Ethan realizes that I'm here to kick me. It is very rare .- blond boy laughs, standing squatting next to me. Does your normal

perfect short hair disheveled and has received many blows that have left her face bruised, but continued wearing the captivating smile that wins so many girls.

- God, Scott, thank you - exclaimed before the plunge and embrace you with scorching tears.

"I'm not the des. What do you think? What would leave you roll there? - Says, responding to the embrace, laughing .- You will have to promise me you'll never walk alone in the woods. If you find you do not have surveillance, search for your brother. Dylan

averts his eyes when crossed with mine, letting me know that he should have been there at that time. If we had fought separately and then, things have not gone well. But I do not care and I hope he will also be able to leave it behind.

"I swear that I have no intention of returning to the forest as soon get out of it .- kidding, separating .- Are you okay?

"Yes, this is nothing not to go with a couple of bandages and hydrogen peroxide. Which is wrong you, so rest. Do you stay in the hospital surveillance? Ordain you'd better with the trees .- turns to Dylan in innocence, making me feel guilty for not letting you know the real reasons why the guy is me.

"I'm watching Nora, Denia can not and I have had .- dryly replied, using his usual tone .- Go take away the blood, You disgust.

"I love you, Uncle Scott .- ironically, standing with him .- Do not despair, it is best advised to ignore me before .- turn around .- See you tomorrow, mate. That last word

get tensed at both, but soon I realize that is stupid. Scott knows nothing, is a joke as any. Although it is clear that is not the most appropriate for our situation, because Dylan gives me a worried look when I move to go back to topple. And I know what you're thinking: what are we? Have you decided? And if so, what will we be? Hate it with all my heart.

- Does this look is so "couple" or because you're a little jealous also by the embrace of Scott? - I choose to say.

"I was not jealous of Darren, the less I will be pregnant with Scott. That would be as unhealthy.

- Why? Scott is a handsome boy, may like it .- defending him.

"Yes, but I am sure you would not like it .- I am offended by your comment and it captures the moment, because it is quick to clarify his words .- Scott is not sure which team plays, I do not know if I understand. Has many questions and if you have them, there must be.

-Oh .- muttered, running out of words.

Now that's a true story, the large topic of conversation would the citizens of Evansville for a year. What a disappointment to learn that female population that ...

-surprising, huh? - Smiles.

"A little affirm .- .- Well, you better sleep. Again I

tuck the covers and close my eyes, straining to let out my weariness and give adrenaline. I'm almost getting it when I notice that Dylan moves to end lying beside me.

I open my eyes instantly terrified, trying to find some sense of the situation.

- What are you doing?

"What I've been wanting to do since you've left before embracing .- whispers, getting under my duvet and bustle of making a threat of returning to surround myself with arms.

I have fear that someone will see, that Scott or Ethan back and ... I do not care. Right now I'm not the most consistent person in the universe, so now I'll worry later for my actions. Closing his eyes

again, I curl up against him head on his shoulder. I sleep so much easier to raise and comfortable. Dylan

sighs at my reaction and buries her head in my hair, shaking her arms.

.- whispers "Good night.

"Good evening.

I sleep with Dylan. Dylan hugging. No. Better not think about it. My heart goes so fast that I'm sure he will eventually realize, so you'd better relax and leave everything ago. Although it is impossible.

But I have to sleep. So I force myself to breathe deeply and calm down and reconcile the dream.

* * * Scott



Day 13, 6:00

If I retreat early in the warmth of my tent I'll finish with pneumonia in the hospital, but I need someone I confirm that my wounds are surface. Denia continues to remove blood from his face with patience, making sure I do not need points while talking about the possibility of giving me something for pain. I do not want anything, I hate drugs as a child and I have never needed. So I do not understand why that will change now.

- Do you know? Which is going to go to sleep like a log will be me .- sentence, rubbing his eyes after being contained hardly a yawn.

- There is no one helping with this - I am interested .- You can do another, you're dead.

-just got my brother went to the forest track with Ethan and I guess now I will help. Has gone for water .- respond.

- Your brother? I did not know who was among those infected.

And it is not. My parents called him when I act weird and came from the capital to talk to me and I had to tell. Decided to stay, keeping me back to college to me sick here did not make him any grace. It is a great help .- I said with a smile of pride .- studied biochemistry and feels quite interested by this virus.
-Family
brains .- joke, making smile when other cotton strip soaked in blood on the floor. "Exactly .-

match, raising her head to look over his shoulder .- Look, is what is right without knowing what to do.

lift my head to see in the dark. He is tall and has dark hair, similar to Dylan. I can not see his eyes at this distance, but I know he's attractive. The shape of her features and it gives me to understand. "It's pretty

.- Denia tell innocently walking with Security .- Three hundred girls around him. She

provides for a second in silence before a sly smile take over your face. Leave the kit on the floor before answering.

"Never has been one of those, do not go for anything with it .- there is a kind of secret message hidden in his words, but could not pick .- It is curious, Gabriel said the same about you when I answered your questions about you.

Gabriel? I like the name.

- Questions for me? When?

"When he came to camp, still not even know your name .- says, rising .- Anyway, back to the topic. You're right, I sleep. I'll tell Gabriel to finish him with your wounds. See you tomorrow.

winked, turns to join his brother, leaving me speechless. Denia is very rare, I start to really think you need a vacation from all the stress that is causing our situation.

I wait patiently for the boy to approach, hoping to go to sleep. This starts to be killer.

"I think the pretty nurse has gone to sleep, you'll have to settle for me .- Gabriel greets me, approaching me.

is now that I can distinguish those flashing eyes that is his sister, a thousand times more beautiful than yours. I have to admit however much they want to Denia. And if I told her that he is handsome, now repeat. It is that and much more.

"I will settle for no bleed.

Gabriel laughs and starts a new cotton soaked in hydrogen peroxide.

"By the way, my name is ...

" I know, Denia told me .- I interrupt, sounding too gay for the situation .- Thanks for joining us enough help in our situation.

"So you're another infected .- apparent, forcing me to lift his head while removing the cotton dried blood left on my left cheek.

When I blush for your skin contact with mine and try to hide it, thanking the darkness. Do not know what I'm doing, is a boy but lives in another city, and ... Do I need anything else? It's a boy. And although I'm not sure what I prefer ... Ah! Do not even know what I think.

"No, I do not .- respond when I realized that I have not replied .- I'm just here for my friends, they all have the disease and could not leave them alone. So I'm here.

"I understand. As soon as I heard what had happened to Denia just thought I'd pack up and return to this poky old town. Although I did when I was delighted with the idea of \u200b\u200bnot returning .- recognizes undeterred by our contact .- I think this is now. Did you Denia given aspirin or something?

"I have recommended you take them, but do not want. I hate those weird things.

As away, also take the opportunity to move away and increase the distance between us.

"I can ensure they are safe .- jokes without realizing my attitude .- See you tomorrow.

"Yes, I suppose. .- I say goodbye to another, casting almost running to my tent.

Denia not only needs a holiday. We're all starting to go crazy with the matter, especially me.

Day 13, 10:09

a while I've been awake, but I am so very comfortable that I do not want to move. The cold seems to have the courage to approach us. And I say us because Dylan is still there, mired in a deep sleep, breathing deeply. Has barely budged throughout the night, continues to face close to mine, her arms around me. Our legs have chosen to intertwine in a strange tangle that I do not bother to undo.

Nursing continues to sleep, they sleep in peace now the nightmare is over and Denia has not made an appearance at the moment. For me this time could be extended forever. I do not want it to end.

For in that he does, as Dylan can wake up that everything changes. To return the stupid and insecure boy who harmed me. I do not want, I refuse to have to return to the past after what we experienced.

sigh and sink into it over her head, closing his eyes. Ethan come to see me four times to ensure I'm well and then give me the news. Bad or good news. Maybe it's news to dry. I do not want to face anything that is happening, right now I crave only refuge in my imaginary world. Some light passes

me suggest that my dream is over, especially when someone is approaching and crouches next to us. Seeing that only comes Dylan wake, half opening his eyes and surreptitiously grabbed me closer to him.

-Dylan, wake up ... - Denia whispers with some nervousness.

He moves suddenly before the eyes open and focus the view towards the girl who smiles at him immediately.

-Ethan is coming to see Nora, I thought you would not like that I saw ...

- Huh? - Dylan still takes a few seconds longer to clear your mind and absorb the information, but finally nods. - Yes, of course, thanks .- whispered hoarsely as he turns to shoot me with a yawn escapándosele by mouth.

"Nothing. Bye.

Hoping to make something completely close my eyes again and openly sleep. After a couple of times cursing under his breath for the few hours of rest, I note that turns to me and I look forward with excitement.

"I know you're awake .- laughs under his breath, placing the hair behind her ear. Loose

giggled when they heard his words, leaving pretending and giving me up. I open my eyes and I lie face up, turning to bring him to keep the heat that we have created under the covers during those hours.

I contemplate in silence before I say anything, surprised at how different it looks now, just lifted. The wild hair, hooded eyes and dark circles indescribable smile ... I like this.

.- greeting "Good morning, responding to his smile without noticing.

"Good morning. How are you? - Asks, leaning on his elbow to lean on me and started stroking my hair.

"Tired, but much better than a few hours ago ... .- I have to refer to what happened, saying" yesterday "is not the right thing. Have not passed or twelve hours.

"I'm glad to hear that .- recognizes, looking up to see the nurse .- Ethan is coming, so I'd better go. I'll call later to see you, okay?

"If there is no other ... - mumble mumble, feeling little attracted by the plan.

"I promise that this" late "is in your brother go .- says, laughing, to cheer a little more .- Try to sleep more, I think you have been good.

Not knowing quite what to do to say goodbye, watched him a couple of seconds and rises with resignation, turning to leave the blankets in place to protect from the cold. Farewell with a smile, slowly away, wearing only his T-shirt, which reminds me that I still wear your sweatshirt.

In a vain attempt to keep the feeling that causes me to have him beside me I curl into the huge sweatshirt and I'm just waiting for Ethan to come. Because if you are going to do, it is foolish to return to sleep to finish waking up a few minutes.

the distance, I see Ethan and Dylan will cross paths and exchange a few words before proceeding each with its own way. I hope my feelings do not end with the friendship of both.

Seeing me awake, my brother smiles and runs the last mile run, dodging nimbly patients without pausing to consider whether you want any of them could be his friend. I guess now I can not think of anything more than making sure I have not lost an arm or something.

-Dwarf, how are you? - Ask me, drowning in a bear hug of his own.

"I'm fine, you do not me ask me all of ten minutes .- River, responding to the gesture with all my strength, not caring that my wounds will resent it.

You do not know the shock you gave me not being at home ... - I whispered in your ear without departing one iota .- Had it not been for Scott ...

"Stop martirizarte for it. The important thing is that I found and I'm fine. We are all more or less trying to move away .- I cut to breathe .- Why did not you say what he planned to Dad?

- How you heard? - look me straight in the eye, fixing his gray eyes caught mine.

"Yesterday I heard her say things to the men who tried to kill me .- admit, feeling a lump in my throat is installed .- And then I forced myself to Dylan to tell me what happened. They have killed father, Ethan.

Her voice breaks me in that last statement I am aware now that it's true: we have killed and are now going after us. Ethan is pale, not knowing what to say, I do not even seem to desire even to be angry with his friend for having revealed the truth.

- How do you know? - Get asked hoarsely.

"One man ... - start, holding back tears barely .- He said he had given you was dead and that his son would be in shortly. Who failed to find the mother and wife, but soon be handed to see his family dead. They also talked about me .- I hope a few seconds to say something, I disprove this fatal information but does not. And it does because he knows that I have reason.

As sprout again the tears from my eyes, Ethan breaks the distance once more and I close with sweetness, burying his head in my neck as he rocks me like a baby. I can feel her tears on my skin, her pain by binding to it in that strange silence which has become master of nursing.

may not have been a good father, perhaps we have been bitter for all our lives, especially with Ethan, but I think it does not matter now. Because the sensation is causing me the idea of \u200b\u200blosing a parent, knowing that going after my brother and who long for death of my mother is getting death of me. And with it too.

Because we never thought that someone's death was the solution to our problem. We have had enough with Samuel.

- What ... what will we do - asked, struggling to catch their breath.

"I'm going to the police, they tell you all ignoring the disease .- respond more calmly than I do, without letting the tears take over completely it .- I promise that this will end and soon be home safe.

- what about you? - Suddenly remember what I said long ago, early in the trip when we discovered their secrets. I wanted to leave because he was afraid of not being able to control himself, to hurt me and put us in danger.

"I'll do with vaccines and remedies and be with you, I give you my word .- I promised softly.

"Go and police .- incites him, forcing my .- just as with it.

"I will not leave you alone.

I'm about to tell you that Dylan come when I fall into the reality that he knows nothing and fell, seeking a more appropriate response.

"He'll probably Lydia Denia and bust.

"Oh, that reminds me that I spoke with Taylor .- says, running his hand over his eyes to wipe them .- You appear to have an idea of \u200b\u200bwho may be the men who attacked us, so I'm going to accompany the police station .

- What are you going to say about Samuel? "I dare to ask.

-is buried, I doubt you will find jamás. whispers .- He asked us to keep it secret, I think we should at least fulfill his last wish.

"Okay. Then go.

"I'll ask someone to take you home, you'll be better there. Try Having A left before midnight, okay?

"Do not worry, really .- I ask you, forcing a smile .- Hurry.

I love you, Nora. Everything will be alright. "And that sweatshirt? - Asks suddenly.

-Ah .- go, now what am I saying? I guess if I'm honest, you may not notice anything unusual and to think that Dylan has finally decided to behave decently with me .- I gave Dylan, this morning it was cold as hell and he was not concerned so much.

"I think he'll have to thank for taking care .- leans over and kisses me on the forehead before to leave quickly, without letting me respond. Whisper quiet

having passed that bump and turn to plunge into my makeshift bed. If the police took charge of the situation, we will not have to worry about. Because without my father, my mother will soon fall and give them the cure. I'm convinced.

Although what I want most right now is that caught these men and make them pay for their crimes.

What Are Good Vba Games



Chapter Nine "Getting better"



Ethan Day 13, 5:00

The fire is out. Or that's the last I received, which reassures me a bit. It is a problem less of that deal, though, of course, I still get the biggest one to me. How am I supposed to drive out the murderers of the forest, preventing them from approaching the center of the camp?

I am reaching my limit, as soon as I stop for a second the laces become so strong that I was gagging and breathing starts to become a painful duty. The low temperature makes the air in small ice crystals that burn my throat and nose, but I just know I can not stop now.

There are people missing, Scott still lost here and I know that he can not turn and flee from danger faster. Depends on what I and the others have joined the search party do in these times. And we've already lost too much time.

- What now? - I asked Gabriel.

I watch without knowing what to say. I have no idea where it came from, her bright eyes with hair so dark I vaguely remember Denia, but this guy seems to be a year or two older than her and I do not know at what time you joined our little adventure. "Let's divide .-

decided at the time, hoping to be the secret option .- I will return to the river, you might now that the fire is going to check rates if there are corpses. You go to our old camp and if you find nothing, try to erase our traces .- I turn to the other guy with us. What was his name? James? "Joey? - Go to the Ranger zone, tell the fire and ... I do not know Make up something.

The green-eyed boy nods before becoming a huge wolf brown coat and disappeared into the bushes. I do not know or who are infected and who not. We too, although maybe I should be grateful to my father for help decrease the number of patients and be free of having to learn new names. Viva irony. Knowing

Gabriel fulfill its mission, go back to change shape and focus on my bearings, looking for the smell of ashes and the noise of the waters of the creek. But before I focus completely, orienting myself in the strange place in which my name has become a forest, a sound catches my attention. Now I only know that they are. Or at least a part.

A groan escaped from my mouth without being able to control it while changing direction, getting ready to make them pay for what they have done. I can not stand to think of the exact people that have hurt, because then I would collapse and would be my loss, but the rough idea of \u200b\u200btheir actions is enough to infuriate me to unimaginable limits.

I hide in the bushes, thinking what it would be more correct face them. Seem to be resting, talking quietly among themselves with the guns still loaded against the frozen ground. His clothes countryside, the smiles that look, the theme of dialogue ... How can they be planted much terror among a bunch of kids and then displayed so quiet? There

dried blood stains on his jeans and plaid shirts, but do not care. And that makes me more arcades. I'll never understand how there can be people like that. People who, after all, is like my father, because if it were not for him, this would not be happening.

I have not decided what I'll do with it, but I'll have time to think if I get victorious in this matter.

- Here's another lad! - Exclaimed a burly man, approaching his companions with a guy grabbed the neck of the shirt. Before

glimpse recognize their bruises and the blood that flows from the nose and split lip. It seems that before handing it to his friends the kind of little light jackets had fun with it.

The young man raises his head and his blue eyes meet mine, leaving us without words. Scott. We have him. And he is not infected. But I fear that will not stop to check.

Without revealing my position, diverts his gaze to stick in the ground, frowning waiting for the beating that I do not think consent. I am one to four, but I do not put myself in danger. Never let it end with one of my best friends in my nose.

I force my brain to work quickly. First I have to get rid of the guns, sending them away to be forced to face me in melee. Only then I will have a chance, because if something good has this virus is that it increases our strength. And quickly ... well, we must take risks and see what stuff they are made.

"Another monster baby-faced good .- laughs wildly on the left, reaching out to grab his weapon .- Something to say lad?

- Did your face is from birth or you did it with a bang? Scott

value. And a great sense of humor, because otherwise I can not explain how it was able to drop it.

When the enraged murderer strikes him another punch in the face by his words, I decide it is time to act I lunged forward, giving a kick to the weapon of first man and throwing it away, removing a disadvantage over. Only two more.

With the confusion, the big man who has just joined them loose to Scott to move against me, allowing my friend to recover from the blow and get rid of junior rifle. For

when I try to go for the latter, I realize that we are cornered and pointed to him. One shot and it's over, but I will give them a chance. If I can disorient them, we point to our advantage and more likely to survive, therefore.

Without wishing to consider things too much, quickly lifted the side, dealing a blow to the neck which I have on my right before running towards the middle in the hope of throwing to the ground. I do not want to kill anyone, let me settle for dazed and having enough time to escape without being followed. Well, I will not take, is simply not what I aspire.

The blow with the elbow almost throw me to get myself, but recovery balance and I continue with my plan, hoping that Scott was responsible as possible to the left. I get an elbow in the side and I hear cries of complaint, but I do not care when I throw on the man, knocking him and shooting him in the frozen grass. Accurate punch in the face gets disoriented and allows me to let him wriggle out without much difficulty.

There is a shot, or at least I'm able to capture from the hype before turning and catch Scott's arm to pull him. We have to go, we can resist everything we want, but these murderers can finish us if we stopped.

now a question of speed. Feeling Scott faltered, forced him to continue with my pace, hearing the footsteps of the men behind us while shooting without a clear objective. My plan is to mislead in order to get to the hospital without endangering others before Scott was dismayed by the beating he received. But I've had much luck and I know that sooner or later something bad will eventually saliéndome. Disastrously wrong.

"Come, uncle, please .- whisper, drowning in my own breaths. I can just give my body the oxygen demands of physical exertion that I am submitting.

A bullet is stuck in the trunk that I have on my right, by running again the adrenaline in my veins and dotándome of new energies that motivate me to pull my friend with more force.

The flight may not be our best solution. We will finish catching, so we have only one escape: hide and pray that we do not find. Feeling under pressure, I stop and contemplate our surroundings.

There is nothing that we can cover but a fallen tree and covered with moss that barely cover us. But we have no choice.

Scott seems to have chosen to trust me and follow it faithfully, because when you change direction and forced to crouch in the shelter, due in silence and collapses on the floor, clutching his face with intent to withdraw blood.

We can not talk, we betray any movement, but I can not help smiling quizzically looking at his wounds. Her angel face now seems so vulgar as any other. I wonder what his fans think if they saw him well and knows all their secrets.

Nevertheless, Scott answered my smile to another, capturing my thoughts as he shakes his head. I see the eyes painted on their appreciation and I feel good for having risky for him. What would you do without your comments? "Without always exudes positivism?

- Where the hell have gotten these children of the devil? "Shouts a man a few meters of us, getting me to focus and put in tension every muscle in my body.

I can not breathe easily without making a noise when what they really need is to throw up for air in despair until my lungs explode the amount of oxygen they provide.

- have had to keep running to the west, towards the end! - One young voice responds with resignation.

- Did not they say they had a camp here? Sure have gone for another fellow .- sentence, launching a series of curses that I find innovative and original. There are some quite good, although I suppose I will not remember any after of this tension.

- What we do - asks the first .- Oh, come on Damon. Think fast.

-back tomorrow. We talk to the boss and find the woman of the nerd who gave us such information .- Damon responds .- Come, let tomorrow take confidence and attack at dusk.

"I'll explain you that animal that lies a head .- ensures obtaining the support of others. Continuing

one of those stupid conversations that bother me so much, move away slowly, allowing me to gradually relax and catch my breath while my heart rhythm to normal. I can not believe it's been, temporarily, but past the end of the day.

"We have a day to get out of here .- Scott whispered hoarsely.

"Enough .- decide, jumping up and holding out his hand to help .- But we have to get under way. Must be reported to the police.

- The police? - Asks, opening his eyes wide as he tries to make sense of my decision .- And what can we say? What are guys with the ability to turn into wolves?

-No. We can say we were camping and they began to kill us. Who you gonna believe, Scott? What fools newcomers to Evansville with a story implausible or us? - you need to discuss protection of human .- murderers.

"But if I stopped now, they do not slow down in the future. And the disease continues to expand. Soon cease to be a secret.

"I'll get the medication by hook or by crook .- I say, knowing what my words carry.

face my parents definitely, these doctors crazy for a cure ... a journey that will surely take me to the death or many kinds of torture, but I have to do if you really want to finish this whole issue.

Scott nods, not knowing what to say, dedicating one of those looks that make me realize that it is convinced everything. But have to trust me.

"Back with the rest, there are many wounded.

- Dead? "Is concerned while placing my hand, walking with a hobble.

I do not know. But Nora ...

"I found her and took her to the hospital before returning to the forest to look for more survivors .- I said with a smile .- She was hurt and fainted from exhaustion, but no to worry.

"I know, when you take Adriana to the infirmary, Denia told me." Gracias. heart-thank you .- But I am aware that she might be one of the victims. Ella. And it is not infected.

"These men differentiated and your sister had the bad luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time trying to cheer .- .- Think things have gone well and nothing else.

"I have wanted to kill them .- declare, removing a load off .- And I feel like an animal to have that feeling.

"I think we all now want to kill them .- sighed, wincing in pain when you lift the left arm.

suppose you're right, so I keep quiet as we walk the path back to camp. The truth is that I assume the camp nurse and have become one place now that the number of wounded is higher than that of healthy people, so when I arrive and see that print does not surprise me.

It is still dark, and there are few flashlights that are still burning. Denia see walking to and fro like Adriana, who has already joined to help all it can despite his burned hand. Most injuries appear and rest, calm, now that the shooting had ceased.

But some remain awake, talking in whispers, discussing the latest developments. I am delighted that they're safe tonight.

- Denia? And my sister? "- I whisper, approaching her, you just give up after a bottle of water to a girl slightly younger than me who seem to have a sprained ankle.

-Oh .- murmurs, giving him a quick, nervous glance at the entrance of the cave we had been living these past few days .- He's sleeping, you should leave it alone until tomorrow. I had a hard time sleeping.

"I'll stay with it until amanezca.-decided, experiencing a sense of comfort knowing you are well enough to sleep. Denia

quickly grabs me by the arm, pausing while trying to hide the nerves in their eyes.

"No ... she said ... I do not want anyone to see her well. You know, you embarrass the wounds and ... has not been washed cara.- ¿De qué me está hablando?- Además, tú deberías descansar. ¿Has visto el aspecto que tienes? La asustarás si se levanta y lo primero que ve es que tienes pintas de haber estado peleando con una manada de perros salvajes.- añade con más decisión, alzando la voz sin que yo entienda la razón.

-Tiene razón.- sólo tengo que escuchar esas palabras de Adriana para entender por qué Denia ha hablado más alto. Quería incluirla en la conversación para así no tener que enfrentarse conmigo.- Debes dormir y Nora está bien, no vas a hacer nada estando ahí sentado. Tienes que descansar.

Me vuelvo hacia ella para quejarme, argumentar cualquier cosa, but returns to be right. I have to tell her what happened and sleep to organize our next flight from the forest.

-De Agreement.The growled, unhappy with the decision.

I throw one last look before leaving Denia with Adriana. There's something strange, one reason why I do not want to see my sister now. But I'm too tired to think about it now.

"Do not let go before tomorrow at nine o'clock .- I warned the girl, smiling a little more relaxed when he saw that I was leaving.

"I hope you tell me the real reason.

"Someday.

Scott shrugs when he dedicated a quizzical look before to leave with Denia, seeking cures his bleeding wounds and leaving me alone with Adriana.

- What's New? She asks, holding my hand as I was encouraged to walk to our tent.

"I should not go to sleep, this is not over yet .- I hesitate a bit, taking advantage that she knows nothing of the conversation that Scott and I have heard.

"There are others who are standing guard and you're not a superhero, you're gonna get killed if you do not rest .- replica hard, showing me how my health is concerned.

Perhaps best not to push the issue. "They think

attack again tomorrow evening. Evacuate this morning before noon and go to call the police. I have thought a story .- I decide to answer your first question.

"We have a few hours to rest, right?

"Yes, why? - I hope you ask me my story, which is unable to control her curiosity, but longs to relax before bending over and down the zipper of our tent.

"Come to bed, I need to disconnect it.

I have rarely seen Adriana really exhausted, so I'm not sure what to do now. That is why I limit myself to spend a nervous smile and still inside, ready to talk to her about anything that allows you to forget the nightmare. Nora

How Do You Ask For Money On A Shower Inviation





Day 13, 4:32

not quite understand how I got here. Acknowledge the hard gray stone on which I pitch, the grass of course, the people who spoke in whispers, complaining of their wounds or trying to appease the other patients. But I did not know how to go from dying to rest in the new camp for boys.

hurts everything, I find it terribly unbearable breath. Denia me talk non-stop, barely staying up as it heals the gap of my head with care, avoiding contact with my many bruises and making sure everything is okay. But

I know it is not. I see blood everywhere, people in my school do not know if they are asleep and dead guys younger than me, affected by the disease, they are acting like real doctors, taking over from Adrian and others.

smoke, cold, blood, gunpowder. Self-destruction, that's all I can feel in my state.

I know that I lost consciousness during the journey and during the last minutes I was there lying on the floor, thinking of my sweet and warm death, my brain was not working very well. Maybe I'm going crazy? No, fools do not arise if are or not.

- How come I'm here - I ask, turning to Denia, stopping their pointless monologue.

amazing blue eyes The girl's run through my face, stopping a moment in their efforts to fix the mess that I have in the face from the blows I received.
-Scott
found you, do not you remember? He told me that you passed out about five minutes before arriving here. Were frozen .- says, putting the soiled cotton in a plastic bag to keep working to clean .- How are you?

"I'm dizzy ... and I have very cold .- assure you, wrapped up yet lowest three blankets given to me .- And my brother?

I really want to ask someone else, but much that is Denia which is before me, the only addition to Lydia who knows my secret, I do not feel brave enough to face your eyes.

"I saw a while ago .- smiles, happy to be able to give me good news .- I was crazy, Adriana was hurt, do you, Dylan does not return and there are so many victims ... then swore to come see you.

instinctively turned her head to hear his sentence on Dylan. Do not come back? Where? Anxiety takes over for me and I forget when indifference.

- Did not ... come back?

"Apparently Ethan and he broke off to fetch you and Adriana. He has not yet appeared. But he will, Nora, is Dylan, is strong, remember? And we believe that these hunters are gone. Although ...

Before you can reply is heard a second shot and I can not prevent scalding tears come to my eyes as a strong nausea take over my body. I can not handle this, is too much for me.

"Oh God ... It is more serious than I thought .- Denia whispers, leaning over to give me a hug that just gets calm .- How much have you been involved?

-No I know, but I need to be well .- replied, closing his eyes tightly, trying to mitigate the pangs I feel in the temple by the amount of feelings that build up inside me.

And it is, really. Now the important thing is that you heal the wounds, the tape and sleep all night and part of the morning .- decided, turning away and leaving the small cabinet to the side .- This piece of stone is yours, so if someone comes and I want to get it, growling .- jokes, trying to make me laugh without success.

I stay quiet while she finished collecting and try to do something more comfortable "my piece of rock" by placing pillows and blankets so that it becomes a bed more or less acceptable.

"When you're more calm will come to see you to complete cure. Try to eat something .- adds, leaving aside a sandwich with a bottle of water.

It turns my stomach just looking at food.

"Thank you, Denia .- I say, feeling bad about not being able to appreciate more what you are doing for me.
the
"I do not give, if I could do more to help in this matter. But I think the usual advice does not work with the guy you have chosen .- .- reassures me I must go take care of others, I'm alone now that Adriana is wound.

- What happened? - I get to ask before you go.

"He burned his hand a little, nothing serious, we have sold and store your brother. Promised it would help us take advantage of the time .- I'm stealing, leave your things on the floor a moment to pick up his long black hair in a ponytail.

His face and I can identify the signs of fatigue.

"Do not force yourself much.

"There too many wounded, Nora ... I know that Ethan never admit it, but we are almost finished. The fire is in a strategic position and thank God protects us, but soon find the way to get here y, entonces, ¿qué haremos? ¿Cargar con los heridos en brazos? Somos una minoría.- noto la desesperación en su voz y no puedo evitar que un escalofrío me recorra el cuerpo.

Tiene toda la razón y pronto todos comenzarán a pensar como ella. Pero si nos rendimos, ¿qué nos quedará? No podemos dejar de sanar a los enfermos ni de luchar contra los cazadores por cobardía o miedo, debemos pelear por esa mínima posibilidad que tenemos de salir adelante.

Quiero decirle eso a Denia, convencerla de que no puede rendirse, pero las palabras no salen de mis labios cuando veo en sus ojos claros lo decidida que está a continuar con esto pese a que sus pensamientos son más que pesimistas. And all because she feels indebted to my brother. The feeling that overwhelms me is almost indescribable, first I want to scream do not have to behave well, but then again I understand and I sympathize with her.

"Maybe you're right ... - muttered .- Do not delay you any longer, I guess time is money right now.

"Rest. He encouraged me again .- before leaving, leaving me with a lump in my throat.

True, it is rare that someone makes me aware of my little adventure with Dylan, the relaxed way in which Denia talking about it, as if it were a state secret or the most important thing in the world, which is what that I think it helps me take things in stride and less relevant, but I always end up angry at her for not giving more importance. I guess I'm stupid, but I do not know how to handle the issue.

And now that he is lost in the woods, at the mercy of those crazy hunters devoted to God, like Ethan or others does not help to calm down. Do you really think destroy each person you are there? True

all students "leave" the forest for days, but many tourists and is the ranger and ... nothing makes sense. Are they only for the sick or is a stupid terrorist group that seeks to sow terror in a city without importance and Evansville?

I do not understand, I really do my best to try and I can not.

Trying to clear my mind and put aside everything else to not go crazy, I raise my head and stare at the infirmary, where they are now most concerned. To my delight and Scott and Taylor are out there, meaning they are safe somewhere. Unless the appointment of Taylor and Lydia have done spectacularly well and stay in it, which would be fantastic.

-Nora.

One word. My name. Nothing more. Dry silence. No one else seems to have heard, but I do and that's what matters to me.

Voice, who has pronounced, my heart stops for a moment while I look through the crowd, giving it among the last trees to give way to clear.

scratches on the cheeks, the smoke has blackened their skin and I can see tiny beads of sweat rolling down his temples. However, it has managed to keep intact his sweatshirt and pants, which tells me he has not been in direct contact with fire. He is healthy, without encouragement, but in one piece. And that's more than I expected.

-Dylan.

black eyes suddenly turning to where I am and I can almost see how to relax when they saw me alive, looking as if it were a strange apparition that had only been to disturb me.

No smile lit her face, just dodge the injuries that separate us and gets on my piece of rock, almost throwing me to wrap her arms, without stopping to think that someone can see. However, I soon realize that no one pays attention, there are things more important than a pair regained, especially when two people do not know what's up. I guess that deep fuss comes not bad, although I wish that all this nightmare ends soon.

Forgetting the rest of the world, close my eyes and respond to his embrace, trying to calm my nerves well and make sure that's really good. But while I have chosen to relax, he appears willing to see with their own hands that I do not even need a tip, why not stop moving his hands down my back, in an attempt to satisfy their need to make me feel safe and warm.

"Sorry, little one, I'm really sorry ... - no longer whispering, though I understand the reason for his apology.

upbraided him not fear you feel, I thought I had left things alone with him, but apparently I did not. Rather he must have confused our conversation, the way in which we had fired.

"It's all .- I reply, trying to end his constant plea for forgiveness.

I do not need just to calm him, this time what I need is someone to take control of the situation and make me obey and I promise everything will be fine. And to top it off, I still feel a chill that threatens to make me die there.

But maybe I can take advantage of the guilt of Dylan to stop shivering, right? I know, I have the romance of a brick, but after having been on the verge of freezing to death because the cold would have killed me if I had not made the gap in my head, I'm willing to keep my body heat first and then me realized that he, just him, he is embracing no matter what.

Sheltering arms between the small gap remaining between my body and yours, I lean more towards him, hoping that once and stop shivering and teeth stop chattering. It seems that my reaction has attracted the attention of Dylan, it turns away and looks me up and down.

does not like that time in my home, which makes me wonder if you just see something interesting in my body when I wear clothes that kind of more or less suggestive and not jeans with a jersey wrinkled by the bustle of the day. Lower your eyes up to my waist and back again to my eyes before letting go and get away from a fast and smooth movement for tendérmela sweatshirt.

-Put it on.

"You're going to freeze .- achievement whisper, somewhat stunned by the picture I have before me.

No, I do not really affect either the least that something short sleeve tight. And of course I do not care who looks to be Dylan and appears to have the intention to drown his arms and his chest as he obeyed.

The blood rises to my cheeks at once, but he did not know how to interpret the subject and frowns, as he always does things beyond the reasoning ability of people. And that gets me a smile.

"We have increased our ability to maintain temperature and you're frozen. Put it .- insists recovering his usual without realizing it.

This is starting to blow my nose a little more known and therefore I feel comfortable.

Hiding a smile, I accept and place it on the jersey, noting that comes huge and the smell of Dylan covers me completely. It's hot, I like more than you could ever acknowledge.

As I finish putting my hair out of his sweatshirt, he raises his hand healthy and puts me behind the ears, before leaning in and deposited on a warm kiss my face full of tenderness, a tenderness that would never have attributed .

- Who did this to you noses? - Questions, analyzing my bruises and gauze placed Denia the gap.

... I do not know - I reply, returning to the shelter in the blankets .- I was in the forest and several men surrounded me and said they would kill me and already had three.

I can not remember his words, but now that Dylan was interested in the topic, I begin to remember what happened and the terror comes over me. Do you really were talking about my family or the similarity between these people and my own parents and my brother were just a coincidence?

"I have killed someone whispered in a trembling voice .- by fear .- I think that is my father, who brought them ... I do not know, I heard things but does not make sense and ...

Something changes in her face , a slight sheen recognition in his eyes that makes me understand that he does know what is happening. And now when I realize that it feels obliged to answer, I am aware that this is the first change in our relationship and I feel something powerful.

- Dylan? - I call him, encouraging him to give me an explanation.

-Ethan is going to have another reason to kill me if I tell you, but ... well .- surrenders, sitting next to me and refuge to the waist in my mess of blankets .- A few days ago your brother overheard a conversation in secret between your parents. They talked about putting the case of the disease in the hands of a kind of sect that would kill to all those infected to eradicate the virus. Your father was in favor of it, although that included Ethan, but your mother supported the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving him the cure and allow ourselves to others in the hands of these madmen. They seemed determined to act immediately, but when we saw the firing of Samuel thought he had been up to them.

"But now is not a hoax .- concluded, knowing what would be his next words.

And my father is dead. My mother disappeared. And they think stop them all, including Dylan, because of both. I myself have been about to perish. The tears come back to me without noticing as the psychological pain is attached to the physical, making forget that the nightmare is not over yet and I'm still in danger despite the sense of security that spread nursing.

Frustrated by not being able to devote comforting words, Dylan is limited to stay with me, staying busy in pulling a thread of brown blanket that overlaps the other.

... Not that I adore adore my father. Daniel has always been strict, cold and somewhat unfriendly to me and Ethan, but after all it was he who took me to see Santa Claus as a child and I was determined to give my personal gift card or explained to me why should not fear thunderstorms. It was a good father into everything possible and now ... just not here.

The same people who have been ready to kill me, have skewed his life. And go after Ethan, my mother and all the infected persons in the brutal night in the woods.

However, this is not the right time to break down and mourn a death has not yet been confirmed. If Ethan is torn and see me, will not be able to go and solve problems. Because we all depend on what they decide and in the next few hours. Hunters or murderers or whatever will go in first light, but will return if not satisfied with their work. And I'm convinced that would not leave his work incomplete a second time.

- What can we do? I ask, trying to divert the topic of conversation with my father.

I do not know, Ethan is the decisions .- responds, shrugging .- But we're screwed.

The game is over. This is not something we can control and if we continue to face end up dead. While frowned upon, it is possible to do so anyway.

"No ... let anything happen to you .- Dylan says quietly, fixing his gaze on the infinite while his good hand touches mine under the covers timidly, not daring to do something else.

Have courage to kiss me but not to shake my hand and tell me protected? This is absurd. Or at least it is keeping in mind that I have always believed that this kind of things are done when there is still no confidence or security and then passed to the kissing stage. But no, we're doing everything wrong.

resigning myself to the strange relationship we have, and I think we have, turning my hand to him, inviting him to take the final step. And I refuse to be me who is the narrow, would be too.

"No I am only for me .- muttered, forgetting everything what I think. With that face

concentration gets when doing something new for him, covering my hand in his, intertwining our fingers before turning to face me.

"You do not have to worry about anything .- there is a slight let-confidence in his voice and when I realize how difficult it is for him to speak in that tone, being affable. It is curious to see efforts to change. While to get to feel affection for him. Though I suppose, unfortunately for me, this is not something new.

wish I could make the case and not to worry, but the gunfire continued, the stench of blood in nursing is increasingly unbearable and the nightmare seems to end. What is she doing my brother? "Lydia and Taylor will be fine?

I have to stop thinking of this as and be distracted, because I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And Dylan may not be able to calm down, but you can keep busy. Or I think so.

- Have you cured your hand? "- Asked, earning a puzzled look on his part.

If the poor and normal it difficult to talk with me, even the more difficult it will be used to track my changes without any sense of depending solely on my thoughts.

"Hey ... no, I have not had time .- replied, trying to understand how I could link to our conversation with his stroke.

- What you've done? "I am concerned, unwilling to answer your questions as I bend down to pick the small kit that Denia has left me, hoping to find bandages inside.

Dylan smiles for a second, staring at his swollen knuckles. At least I got that he also focuses on what we are now.

-Say ... that Darren put me nerves .- says, widening his lopsided smile of a more than attractive.

-be jealous of a child ... - commented, holding his hand to start selling, knowing that I'm going to do with that anger. But the habit I can too and I can not resist the fun assured that gives me throw this kind of taunts.

- What? - Turns to me angry, seeking to defend himself would not dream .- envy of a kid like him.

- No? - Asked, raising her eyebrows innocently. My job keeps me busy, so I get rid of having to look at his face and hide my smile .- So that growl bit jealous so ... it was pure coincidence, right?

"I feel envious of him, but that does not mean that I liked the touch you that way ....

"It touched me. I kissed him .- corrected, avoiding a laugh.

He thinks I'm serious and that's really the best. Get up to forget I feel the pinpricks all over my body or migraine.

"It did very well .- adds more to make sure it was so for reminding me.

- How can you tell? "We also kissed you?

- Oh come on! - Exclaims, exasperated by my attitude while away bandaged hand and a flick .- You almost nailed the nose to the brain! This idiot had no idea, just because you helped him in the end it managed!

-Darren did not practice, I would have been the same .- defending him, ringing voice patient.

"You do not mind the same thing happened .- contradict me, lifting her chin stubbornly.

"Because it was you and you obviously had practice .- sentenced, assuming won the debate.

- Já! - Smiles, a look victorious .- Decision: it was also the first for me. Which proves my theory that Darren is a jerk.

Okay, you caught me. But I will not let get away with it, it's time you learn to not be so stubborn and not to insist. And although it's funny how that messes with Darren and see how you hate, I can not let them behave like this with a friend, but it is not in front.

"Maybe he's a normal guy and you have so much confidence in yourself and so much arrogance that you were born with that" gift ".- perfect. If I wanted was to let bad, I just give you more reasons to continue with the same.

- So good was it? - Asks with a triumphant smile on his lips, looking me straight in the eye.

"Oh, do not misunderstand my words .- I ask you, giving you a shoulder to push him away from me.

"No, I do not. You said it yourself .- laughs in a way that just reminds me of the old Dylan and that comforts me. It seems that everything has changed, but I'm not quite sure how long.

"You said I did not do wrong, perhaps the gift is mine, not yours .- clarified, trying to emerge victorious in the situation.

"Perhaps something of both.

chuckled, not knowing what else to say. Noto flushed cheeks and a kind of butterflies in the stomach that make me feel bad. Here I am, behaving like a stupid teenager while trying to kill us. But it is extremely unfair. I never had the opportunity to behave like a normal person and just when I posed the opportunity I have to reject it because they try to end my life.

- Are you okay? - Dylan asks suddenly, without my knowledge if you do because I put a strange face or because I've been silent for a while. However, when he raised his eyes to meet his inscrutable black eyes I realize referred to physical appearance, it provides my bruises with rage and remorse. Blamed for what happened to me.

"Something better, though ... I have given a good .- recognize, assuming that if I lie not going to believe me at all.

"If I ever find these animals, you swear that ... - stutters in mid-sentence, angrily shaking his head to get rid of that idea .- You'd better not cross my path.

"Honestly and I do not care what happens to them as long as they leave us in peace.

Another shot echoes through the forest and nursing is silent, even the most seriously injured complain and Denia and the other guys who have started to heal their comrades are stopped. We all have the same question in mind: Will there come the bullet to its target?

- Okay, guys, continue! We have no time to lose! - Cry Denia, taking charge of the situation to continue selling the arm of a boy who seems to have seen me in my course. Although now I'm not sure of anything.

"Maybe they need you, Dylan, you should not be here doing nothing .- I say to my regret.

-not help much being with Ethan while I can only worry about you .- I said so coldly that characterizes him as if nothing was moving in his words, which I almost overlooked the importance of that statement. But before we react, continues to speak .- And surely your brother will feel better if you know that I have been "protecting you, the end of the day I was with him that you would fetch.

Ignoring how good it is making me feel with his confessions, he takes my hand under the covers to start playing absently with my fingers.

Just keep quiet while the minutes are still crawling. Nora

Problems With Steal Seal





Day 13, 00:40

And I'm still me. Being aware that this is going to end, but not knowing exactly when. And I can assure you that this feeling uncertainty is worse than any pain you may feel for the wounds that have been etched in my body.

The gap in my head continues to bleed, spilling blood on the frozen grass of the forest that has almost become a home for me. How could I have so much of that liquidillo inside? Should be bled and I wish you actually are.

The final truth is that I never would have happened. Not that I worship my life, but I had not raised the possibility of ending it. It is a simple way to end my problems, but would prefer to solve them by myself close my eyes and not open them again. In an attempt

to mitigate the pounding I feel in the temple, turn right head, sighing as he felt a new and more pain dizziness. I'm not the only one who is suffering, but my ears are no longer able to focus and listen to all the strange noises that have occupied the forest, I know that there are more wounded, dead.

My father. He had said these men. I went to Ethan. Maybe he's dead. I can not imagine the possibility, only that it goes well I look forward to it. He and the others.

One last jab through my body and close my eyes. I do not want to fight.

* * * Ethan



Day 13, 1:09

The forest is burning. I hear screaming, shooting, smell blood. But I am not able to differentiate odors, to follow a particular trail. The despair and anger begin to take over from me, but also fatigue takes its toll on my body and I hardly have the strength to continue my search.

Until we find them I can not stop. The confusion has taken over all and I know I take hours to find people I really care about, but until I do I can not take care of the situation. I'm desperate.

one hand, I can not believe my father has given us. Nora is in the woods, I find Adriana, Dylan and Scott are missing, is dead injured. I do not know what to do. I just want to run and hide, because this is beyond me. It's more of a what I can face alone.

Exhausted, I stop in the middle of my career in some area of \u200b\u200bforest that has not been destroyed by fire or stained by the blood of my friends, and regained human form. I have broken wrists, running for so long, my head is spinning from smoke inhalation, but I can not afford to stop.

Ignoring the pain, I continue with my career, straining my senses, hoping to recognize someone. A white-furred wolf goes running with me, will not stop. I guess he is also looking to their own between confusion.

I have to admit that between the noise and the adrenaline I barely had time to feel afraid for my life. The main thing now is to locate them all, put them together, calm and face the situation calmly reasoning. But how I can expect others to calm down if I myself am unable to do so?

With each shot, a cry of pain or growl I hear I can not help but think that this is one of my friends, or Nora Adrian. Is inevitable and I know that soon I'll have to take care of everything, and expect me to do, so I have to hurry and find them all. Recognizing

a strange sound, I stop halfway, turning head to the right trying to locate the source of tears and the smell familiar.

Dylan. Is it even if I do not picture that is crying.

Feeling more calm, I walk the last mile between us and I crouched beside him and saw him sitting on the floor with his face hidden in her hands. No injuries, at least I can appreciate that at first glance.

- Dylan? What? Are you okay? - The words out of my mouth hastily, but I can not hold.

I am furious to see him in one piece after I had worried, but still happy to have a friend less disappeared. In particular case it, I need to hear your rude to recover the cold.

Leaving me breathless, raise your head so your eyes are watery with mine. Him crying. Is destroyed, not just a few tears. Had never seen him like that. There is no sign that he will put on the defensive, seems to have collapsed at the wrong time and has no intention of returning to the usual Dylan.

I know there have been rare in recent days, more sullen and independent and has prevented me more than usual. And maybe I should have made him more if he had been too involved in my own problems to me that my friend needed me.

"It's nothing .- replies, looking away and wiping her eyes with real anger. I know you never forgive me seeing him in that state, not being it .- What?

is almost hard to believe that was not noticed anything that is happening. But when I raise my head and see the protective dome of the trees in the area, I realize that the noise is barely audible there and as it was my friend, is more than likely not have noticed the shots or smoke. It is a refuge.

"They're hunting us, Dylan. My father had to give the signal. The southern part of forest is on fire, is missing and only a few injuries have managed to reach the cave system and are there .- summarize, feeling the stress running through my veins .- Do not find anybody, I need your help. Adriana, Scott, my sister ... all are here.

- Nora? - Whispers, eyes widening with recognition .- She left.

"I called home, I did not catch. Maybe the could have been caught before leaving the forest, maybe I'm just getting paranoid, but take hours as well and I do not know what to do, I'm alone. I need .- reply shook his head waiting for it does not get big headed.

As if suddenly the same rush harasses me I was installed on it, jumps up and looks at me, regaining sanity and preparing to start the search.

-Go for Adriana, I am looking for Nora .- decide before I turn my back and run and disappeared among the trees with a decision which I find strange.

What is now so readily? What had happened to be there shedding tears for the first time in years?

curiosity Although I eat, I know that now is not the time to follow or stop and think about it. Adriana depend on me.

aroma I have burned into my brain, so I close my eyes and inspired, clearing my nose smells unimportant trying to find the girl. There is something, a faint trace ... I'm not sure it is reliable, maybe just a figment of my imagination, but I have no choice but to go ahead and confide.

I turn a second to see the huge black wolf away, feeling a little relieved to have him on my side, change form again to follow the scent.

I've been a good time running when it starts to hurt the side, but still does not stop me, because the smell is stronger than ever and I know I'm about to find it. And to my great relief there is no blood, no screaming, nothing that tells me is wound. Maybe, and only the best, I had a bit of luck this time.

Forcing my eyes, I stop at the creek, watching flames across the water. It is a dangerous area, some trees have collapsed and the dense black smoke covers almost everything. The sulfur smell is unbearable, but instead, I know that Adriana is there. Have to be. And far from the flames, I refuse to believe that ... No. No. I can not think of that possibility. She did not.

- "Adriana?" Cried almost without realizing it, without considering the danger to which I am exposing.

- Ethan?

a whisper, almost inaudible, got back make my heart beat, once again dividing the adrenaline in my body while looking tired and found it hidden in the bushes, looking at me with eyes full of tears and coughing in the amount of smoke inhaled.

without protecting the nose with anything, I go running toward her, bumping into several branches, but without much difficulties getting to the site. Fearing see a wound, I kneel beside her, trying to figure out why he had left there still.

No need for words, raises his left hand to show me the palm, whose skin has been burned recently. Do not even know how it is enduring the pain.

"Jesus ... - murmured, not knowing what to do .- Okay, I have to get you out of here. This is nothing, right?

- Why are they doing this? - Question.

A tear rolls down her cheek and I promise myself that I will not let something happen. No more relying on my parents, that sanity will return to those who have lost. Samuel was the first and last victim of this dirty game.

"Because not all good people in this world .- respond in the spirit in tatters before take her in his arms ready to take her away from there.

And if things continue this way, I will not hesitate to take her away another city with my sister and others. Evansville is a hell, I will not allow anyone living in it while things continue this way.

Taking care not to touch the wound, he did put his arms around my story and I walked back to the cave, praying that Dylan has had the same luck when I do its job. I hope that Nora is not in the forest, which has been entertained with some of her friends or anything. Practically need to be so. Nora
