Eveline. The little kid was Eveline. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. You got out of bed throwing on whatever and ran to find Chris, you knocked on his bedroom door and kept knocking until he answered it. "Y/n what are you doing-" you walked in. "No time to speak.. look." He guided you to his bed. "Y/n whats wrong?" You looked at him.

"It's Eveline, she's back."

"Wait you mean little grandma bioweapon Eveline? Y/n she's dead, she's been dead for a while." He said rubbing your back, reassuring you that Eveline wasn't here. "Chris think! She came back when Ethan 'died' what makes you think she won't come back now! Especially since she knows who's all here. I mean think, there was no movement in this entire village until I arrived. She wants me. I think.. I hope not."

Chris stood up and called someone, he said some random code and sat back down next to you. "Look, go lay down and get some rest, we will figure this out tomorrow. I don't want you stressing yourself out about this." He guided you back to your room. "Now sleep please, I'll wake you up tomorrow." You nodded and closed the door, laying down and falling asleep.

July 10th, 9:23.

You were awoken by a knock at your door, you yawned and got up. God this bed wasn't comfortable at all. You opened your door to see Chris. "Hey Chris" you said between another yawn. He said hello. "Can you be ready before 10?" He asked, you looked at your watch and nodded. "Yeah.. where do you wanna meet?" "The same room you found me in yesterday." You nodded and closed the door. God you wanted to go home.

You got dressed, your hair was done, you left it down though. You eventually found yourself not letting Ethan know you were up or where you were going, that would come back and bite you later.

You brushed your teeth and went to find Chris. The halls were empty, quiet. Smelt like hand sanitizer, or a doctors office. It reminded you of going to Ethan's room everyday, waiting and waiting for him to wake up.

But you weren't going to ruin your mood, you already were anxious about Eveline. You found Chris, he was talking to some soldiers. He saw you and held up a 'just a minute' signal to you so you looked around.

The lab was huge, there were books, and books of just research. There were the cadou things from the village, god they were ugly. The lords statues. You continued to look around, going outside into the mucky heat. There was nothing but trees- well dead trees. You stepped off premises of the lab. Going into the forest, it's like your body was moving on it's own. Like you had no control of your self.

You eventually found yourself in the middle of the forest, not knowing where to go. You started to walk but out of the corner of your eye you saw a little kid. Eveline. You ignored it, hoping you were just going crazy. But you saw her again, this time closer.

She laughed, her laugh. It gave you chills, instant chills. You turned around to the noise. "Eveline just come out." You said, blankly. You heard steps, turned around and there she was.

"How are you not dead." She said, annoyed. "Well.. we got the mold out of us. So why am I seeing you." She disappeared and reappeared behind you. "No you didn't..." she said in her annoying teasing voice.

"Yes we did? Look Eveline I don't have time for this, why are you here." She giggled, "oh y/n poor poor y/n. The mold is the only reason you two were alive, I know Ethan got it out of him. But you? No.. no no no!" She laughed again.

The mold was still in you? No. No way. "Eveline stop. Why are you here?" She sighed. "Just to let you know." She teleported in front of you. "You and everyone here, will die." She disappeared and everything got dark.

-

You woke up to see Chris and a bunch of doctors in the room. "Huh?" One of the doctors walked over to you, checking a notepad. "How many fingers am I holding up?" She was holding up 6 "5" the doctor looked at Chris. "Just playing 6" she let out a stiff laugh and started to shine a light in your eyes. "She looks physically fine! I'll be back to do some more tests!." She let Chris know.

"What even happened?" You asked, looking around. Chris walks up to you, still in gear. "We couldn't find you anywhere, and I had my men look in the forest and they found you unconscious. Do you remember anything?" You shook your head. "Everything is a blur really, all I remember is my sight going black." He turned around and walked to the door, dialing someone on his phone. His gear ratting against itself.

You rolled over, groaning. "So when can I go home" you mumbled, sitting back up. Chris shrugged his shoulders. "If Eveline is really out there, we can't risk her knowing where you, Ethan and rose are located."

Then it hit you. "Eveline. She's the reason I passed out. She was going on and on about how I should be dead and the molds still in me. Just not Ethan. She was talking about how everyone here was going to die.. Chris you have to get them out of her-"

You heard blood curdling screams from down the hall, You took everything out of your arms and ran over to Chris who was locking doors and trying to get in contact with his men.

"This is alpha, does anyone copy?" He said while reloading his gun. He threw you a knife for now. Saying when he gets another gun it'll be yours. "This is alpha, does anyone copy?!" He said again, this time more upset. He couldn't lose anyone else. Not again.

The screams were heard again, you looked outside the glass of the door and saw black goo. The mold. No..

Chris mumbled something under his breath. "Y/n I can't keep you here. Follow behind me. And do NOT leave my side." You nodded and he opened the door and began running slightly. There were the monsters from Louisiana, just not as moldy.

Chris got you to your room, he told you to grab anything important and leave the rest. You grabbed your purse, phone and shoving whatever could fit in your purse. He was shooting off the molded and told you to follow him.

He eventually got you to a plane, where the rest of the survivors were. "Y/n you'll be safe here. I can't leave here without making sure there aren't anymore survivors." He threw you a handgun and a walkie talkie. "You don't leave this plane. And only use the gun if absolutely necessary." You didn't want him to leave you. "Chris no. You can't just-" he cut you off. "No. You're not leaving this plane. I can't let you die. Not you or anyone else for that matter. I want you back with your family y/n." He loaded his gun. You shook your head ok. "Please please be safe Chris. She's evil."

He nodded and smiled at you. "I promise."

God please keep him safe.
