Chapter 11

Ellie POV:

I carefully moved (Y/N) off my shoulder and laid her gently onto the mattress so she was lying horizontally, not wanting her to get a sore neck from sleeping on my shoulder, I gazed down at her peaceful expression with a smile,

Even in sleep she still looked beautiful. I thought brushing a strand of hair from her face.

The sound of footsteps approaching from the hallway brought me out of my trace,
When I looked up there stood Henry leaning on the door frame with a soft expression, watching as I moved my hand from (Y/N)'s face 

I tapped Sam gesturing to the doorway, he put down the comic and followed my gaze
To see his brother walk into the room

"Hey" he greeted me before signing something to Sam

Sam nodded to his brother before moving onto the bed opposite me.
And laid on top of the covers, staring up at the ceiling something clearly on his mind

Henry gave me a nod accompanied by a grateful smile as his eyes met (Y/N)
And he exited the room shutting the door behind him.

Okay Back to reading I thought, as I gently tapped Sam's feet with the comic, gaining his attention he sat up on the bed and moved himself so he was sitting on the edge of his bed facing me

I held the comic out so he could see the pictures as I continued reading

"I don't see any weird movements. Stiff? Negative. Damage here in Sector 153. Stella, can you hear me? I read you. Okay, from here."

Sam held up his hand giving me a signal to stop reading, and began to write something on his magic slate

He then handed it over to me and it said

'Are you ever scared?'

I cleared the slate and wrote my reply showing it to Sam
'Do I not look scared?'

'Never.'

"I'm scared all the time..."
I held it up before adding more to my answer

'Of scorpions.'
I turned the slate around quickly,
making a joke in hopes to make Sam laugh

He didn't.

Instead, he just stared back at me, slightly shaking his head,
I sighed deciding I might as well be honest..

'I'm scared of ending up alone.'
I wrote

"What about you?"
I added, before handing the slate back.

Sam cleared it and began writing, I cracked my knuckles as I waited for his response, He handed me the slate and I read what he had written

'If you turn into a monster, is it still you inside?'

I looked back up at Sam not sure how to answer, wondering why he was asking a question like that

Until he pulled up his right pant leg revealing a fresh bite mark...

Like Tess's....
this can't be happening again.

"Ah, fuck." I breathed out,
as I started at the bite in shock

I contemplated going to Joel..no- if he knew he would kill Sam for sure...
In any case, he had trusted me enough to show me his bite
So I might as well do the same...

I rolled up my sleeve showing him my bite marks,
He held onto my arm examining my bites in shock

"My blood is medicine."
I told him,
As an idea popped into my head

Please work..

Sam looked up at me in shock as I reached into my jacket and pulled out a switchblade

He groaned, in protest shaking his head as he stared at my switchblade with concern

But I ignored him cutting a small slit into the palm of my hand, before rubbing the blood onto his bite, he hissed in pain as I touched it, I apologized with my eyes
Keeping pressure on the bite practically praying that it would work..
that I could save him.

After holding my bloody hand over his bite for what I hoped was enough time I rolled his pant leg back down, then wiped the blood off my hand on the inside of my jacket.

Sam began to write again.

'Stay awake with me?'
He asked

I took the slate and replied.
"I promise."

He showed me the sign for promise.

Taking his finger from his lips to meet his opposite hand in a fist.
I copied him, solidifying our promise

I felt like breaking down, deep down I knew that he was going to turn..
Just like Tess.. and just like Riley did..and no amount of my blood could stop that
But I kept my composure the best I could offering him a reassuring smile

Before wrapping my arms around him, squeezing him tight,
We stayed like that for a while, neither of us wanting to let go..

Sam eventually stepped back sending me a smile before, gazing over at (Y/N)'s sleeping figure With a sorrowful expression, I brushed (Y/N)'a hair back with my hand Before pressing my lips to her head gently

And Whispered "I'm sorry"

Before turning back to Sam...
both our eyes welled with tears
Knowing what would transpire..the following morning if my blood didn't work..
