Hope wasn't made for us

chapter 23- Hope

Chapter 23

"Ellie" Jennie screamed "Ellie!"

"Help us" voices of my family filled my ears as i looked around at the burning camp.

"Please help us" their screams of pain and fear filled the air as it was nonstop never ending.

I woke up and it was still dark out, Ryder's arm was a crossed me, I softly moved from out of his grasp, i went to the bathroom in our room, i turned on the sink filling my hands with cold water and letting the cold water touch my face.

I gasped in pain as my leg started to hurt, from where i cut myself on the pharmacy self.

It made me remember how Dean saved me, or I would have turned into one of those things.

I pushed my thoughts away and walked back to bed, but my eye stopped on my jeans that still had blood stains, most of it not even mine, i touched my ripped shirt making chills go through my body remembering what happened.

"I'm done playing girl" he spat choking me, i felt my airways being crushed, i reached around as i felt weaker and weaker, i felt a rock on the ground and i picked it up , i hit him in the head with it making him fall back and i used the rock to hit his head tons of times not stopping in anger, his head was bashed in as blood formed on the rock and parts of his brain. But i didn't stop.... tears fell from my eyes before someone grabbed my hand making me try to hit them, but he stopped me, i looked to see dean.

"Stop it Ellie....he's dead" Dean said but his face dropped at the sight of my tears mixed with blood.

"He tried to" i couldn't get it out "he" i sobbed making dean understand, he took off his shirt and placed it on me covering me.

"Look at me Ellie" he said, making me look at him sobbing...... "He's gone.... he can't hurt you anymore" his voice is so calm, like a childhood memory.

It made me remember how dean was always there, there's no way he could just lie like this, if he actually felt that way then why save me. Feeling the warmth of his shirt...feeling the comfort in his voice. The feeling of knowing that he could have left me to die but he saved me.

I put down the shirt as i looked at the pocket of my jeans, i reached into pull out a skinny tube of a black liquid.

And a note, which made me remember what Lional said.

"What is it?" i ask.

"The key, to stopping it" Lional whispered.

"How would I know?' i ask confused "when to use this 'key'" i say.

"You will know" was all's he said.

I opened the paper, to see it was a map with marks on each location and a smaller piece of paper fell out making me pick it up and open it.

Use the map to find what you're looking for, each marked out place is where your target could be. In a building called headquarters you will find where to use the key

Good luck Evelyn.....burn this and show no one. You are our last hope.

Lional.

I folded the map back up and placed it in my pocket, with the note...I looked down on the side table to see a fork from a plate of food, I took the fork just in case, since I had none of my weapons. we weren't aloud.
