It's been a whole day since Blane told me about his whole situation and he hasn't really spoken to me since. I've been stuck inside this RV, carving tally marks into the inside half of the door for every time Pablo walked into something. He is clearly a very clumsy person. So far, I had 6 tally marks. Wow. I'm such a sad person.

I think deeply before finally deciding that I'm going to walk, no matter how much it hurt me. I needed to see how Blane was - I didn't want him to think that I thought less of him after yesterday. Also, I needed to get changed because I smelt like a dead cow. Wouldn't anyone after 3 days in the same outfit?

I click open the door of the vehicle and slowly step out, grabbing onto the fence beside it. It didn't feel as bad as it did when it was fresh, but don't get me wrong, it still had a pulsing, painful feel to it.

As I walked towards the hut Blane slept in, I see Pablo running in with several little tubes in his hand.

"What are those?" I question, pointing at the tubes.

"Blane hasn't told you?" He says, panting "look, i have got time and neither does Blane"

Upon hearing those words, I sprint in, straight after Pablo resisting the urge to scream of pain. I see him lying there, shaking.

I watch as Pablo injects two injections into his arm. So that's what was in the tubes. I watch painfully as Blane gradually calms down.

"Get her out of here!" He cries through his clenched teeth, his hand raised. Pablo then shoos me out of the room without any hassle.

"I don't want to go, Pablo. Tell me what's wrong with him..why was he shaking like that?"

Pablo quickly explains, sweat layering on his forehead from all the running
"I'm figuring he's already told you about the bite, well every now and then he gets a seizure-like reaction as the virus courses through his bloodstream..I myself don't know how he's lived as long as he has. Most people turn within the first 24hours but him..he's a miracle, Lana".

He sure indeed is a miracle and I can't lose him. I'm going to Hanz.
