My jaw drops as I watch what must've been a thousand white roses turn red. I'm speechless, is this possible? I don't think so. "How, what?" I can't even get a whole question out.
Ana looks at me, "Take Gavin back to where we where before we walked off, I'm gonna check this out." I want to tell her not to but before I can shes already off.
Gavin and I arrive back to what I'm guessing is going to be our camp. "What happened?" Ze asks.
I shrug, "I don't know, Gavin just suddenly got sick."
"I can see that," Ze laughs, I look at Gavin who had already fallen asleep. He stares into my eyes, "Now where were we?" I smile and kiss him, I'm really starting to fall for him. But a little voice in the back of my head says to stop before I get disappointed when I doesn't work.
I ignore that and just continue. I push him up against a tree, I want this, I want him. "I love how you think you can be the dominate one." He laughs and turns me around so I'm against the tree. We continue to kiss but I start to get a sick feeling in my stomach.
"Ze, stop," I say, I clutch my stomach and collapse. I jerk my head back and twitch. All of the heat suddenly leaves my body and I hug myself for warmth. Bloody vomit expels from my mouth. My leg jerks, almost kicking Ze in the shin. I close my eyes, trying and failing to hold back tears. I have a muscle spasm and smack myself in the face, which doesn't hurt nearly as much as the pain I'm going through now.
"Oh my god, what's wrong?" Ze stares at me, obviously clueless. I'm freezing and the breeze isn't helping. I let out a cry of agony that I can't hold back. Then it suddenly all stops.
I roll over on my back. "What just happened to me?" My voice is strained.
"I don't know," Ze kneels down next to me, "are you ok?" I shake my head. I'm not ok. I feel a pain in my chest and moan.
Even though it hurt I swallow, "No," I wipe a tear off my cheek, "when did it get so cold?"
Ze raises an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand how even though I'm wearing a long sleeve shirt I'm cold and Ze's not. The bottom of his tattoo peeks out for under his sleeve. "If anything it's hot out here."
"Never mind." I say, trying to sit up.
Ze leans against the tree and try's not to laugh. "Where did that come from?" I look at the ground and shrug. He wraps his arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. "You know I'm starting to like you more and more."
"I'm not very likable you know that right?" I tell him, he looks at me, "Some day I'm gonna do something that pisses a lot of people off and then you, Gavin, and Ana are gonna know that I'm a nightmare."
"You're talking to someone who's been wanted by the government half their life." He laughs, "you think you're a nightmare?" I can tell he's serious. "Well you and I need to get to know each other more."
"What do you mean?" I ask. I was starting to this he's hiding something from me. He looks at me and bites his lip. "Ze?" He got up and left.
I follow him, even though it might now be the best idea. I watch from behind a tree as he pulls something out of his pocket. A hard drive. "My revenge." Ze says under his breath. He drops the hard drive on the ground and smashes it.
"Aaron Baxter," The mention of my brother's name makes me freeze, "you're dead to me."
