Cure {A.I}

12:00 AM

My dream was interrupted by a loud snore.

I scooted myself deeper into my sleeping bag. When the snore kept on repeating itself, I finally gave up trying to fall asleep. I opened my eyes and looked around the huge tent we were all sharing. Ashton was laying next to me, staring.

"Hey." I whispered. So it wasn't Ashton snoring.

"Hi." He said, sitting up. "I've been up for hours. Michael won't stop snoring."

"I know." I giggled.

"Let's go for a walk." He said

"Are you crazy?"

"You know I am." He scooted out of his bag and stood up, holding out his hand.

I took it and stood up.

We tip toed to the door, almost kicking everyone in the face. Surprisingly no one woke.

We stepped out and I took in a deep breath of clean air.

We walked to a trail leading into the forest that surrounded the site.

"This is so dangerous!" I said, laughing.

"If you think about it being dangerous, then it will. Life is good."

"You seem to make up everything for someone to feel better about them selves." The cold ground went through my socks, making me shiver.

"Yup. Just how if your cold you always have me to make you warm." He squeezed me closer to him.

He started to hum In Bloom - Nirvana under his breath.

"Aw I love that song" I said.

"It's Nirvana. Who doesn't like Nirvana. Their like lords of rock."

"No... not really..."

"Who is then?" He asked.

"Rolling Stones. Green Day. But Nirvana is on the list."

"Yeah. You always prove your points." He grinned.

"I grew up trying to prove that the boys and you were serious about music and weren't a little boy band from Sydney. But know I've realized that it doesn't matter who I prove it to, Because I knew myself what and who you are. I hated you for a solid couple of months of my life, thinking you were "The Worlds New Boy Band". But then I heard Amnesia on the radio and I was amazed. So I listened to your album."

"Your brain is a piece of art. Like your so wise!" Ashton said.

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Your advice made me who I am. Everything you did reflected off of me and the person I am right now is who I am because of you." We walked around a couple tree's and stopped walking.

"Do you always like to brag about me?" He said

"Bragging and the truth have two different meanings."

"OK." He whispered. I Hugged him and listened to his breath and owls hooting.

Ashton started laughing randomly.

I ended the embrace. "What?" I started laughing along with him.

"What?" I asked.

"Look behind you! It...

BOOM!

I screamed. but before it ended the sound came again.

BOOM!

I screamed bloody murdur. I dug my nails into Ashton's skin.

So many things ran through my head. Was it Michael trying to play a trick on me? Was it a gun shot? Yes. That was it.

I looked around franticly. Trying to find the where the noise came from.

Ashton flew his hand over my screaming mouth. His eyes were a raging fire looking to the side of us.

I stopped screaming and looked in the direction his eyes were looking.

Two shapes of a human were standing holding pistols in there hands. They were dressed in black, standing still. The shape standing to the left pulled down a cloth that covered his mouth and said, looking at Ashton. "Hello Son."

The other looked at me and said, "Hello daughter. Long time no see."
