Lost In The Jungle

.094

Dawn POV

My throat was killing me. Felt like someone took a knife and scraped all in on the inside. My head was pounding so I kept my eyes closed.

I noticed through my eye lids that the lights were dimmed and someone was in the tent. I heard them moving around.

I remember waking up covered in blood. Thinking I had been cut open instead it was all from my nose. It felt so real. The dream.

Whenever I glitched I could feel the stinging shoot through my body. The people touching me felt real. Not being about to breath right and the feeling of my stomach being cut open. I could feel the pain.

Waking up all I though was Drey. I honestly wasn't sure if he was alive or not. I almost thought for a minute he may have been dead and they found me.

"I know your awake" I heard someone whisper

I fluttered my eyes opened and adjusted them to the light. Even though it was dimmed. I moved my head upwards from laying in a fetal position.

"Hey" I whispered to Chan

He gave me a small smile. Leaning in his chair he laid his arms down on the bed and rested his chin "how are you feeling?"

I shook my head instead of answering. I still felt very weak and it was still hard to talk. I sounded like a witch and I probably looked like one with the way my hair was.

"I was worried about you" he said quietly

He brought his hand up to the side of my face. Rubbing his thumb on my cheek bone. It felt nice feeling his warm touch considering I was still freezing.

I had noticed I was in a different outfit. Same shorts, just now a long sleeve shirt. I guess from all the blood. Travis's blanket was gone and I hope it wasn't ruined or would be stained.

I don't know what they did. But it hurt like a mother fucker. I remember being held down and a tube going up my nose and being moved around some and then down my throat.

Feeling air come through, I started to choke and coughed up blood. It was hard for me to breath. What felt like forever I think only lasted a few minutes.

I'm pretty sure I passed out during it. I couldn't remember anything after that.

"I had a bad dream"

With his thumb he wiped the tear away, "do you want to talk about it?"

"Will you lay with me?" I asked barely above a whisper

He gave me a small smile and nodded. I slowly moved over to make room for him. He laid down and I instantly got closer to him.

Laying my head down on his chest, I snuck my right arm around me cover my stomach feeling weird about the dream. With my left arm I laid it on his chest but kept it close to me to wipe my tears.

I looked up at him, moving my head a little past his shoulder so I could see him better "it felt so real" I said as my eyes began to fell with tears

"Your dream?"

I nodded, "yeah. You remember that room? With the table"

"The one back at the asylum?" He raised his eyebrows like he had something more to say

"That one. I was there. Being operated on and-" I could barely even start without crying

"Hey, it's okay" he said wiping my tears. He moved on his side and was now facing me. He moved the hair out of the way and kissed my head, "you don't have to keep talking about it"

"Drey was with me but that guy killed him. He put his head in a jar" I cried

"What guy baby?" He softly asked

"Christopher" I breathed out, "he was the one who hurt Drey. Then he started to cut me open-"

"It's okay, it wasn't real" Chan said pulling me into a hug as I cried into his chest "he isn't going to hurt you or Drey"

"I-It felt so real. I-I could feel the pain"

Chan just pulled me closer telling me everything was going to be okay. I was happy that he was here with me and that everyone was okay.

I was just ready for this feeling to get over with and everything go back to normal. I wanted to go back out in the jungle and explore new places. Sneak around with Chan and lie to Ivan about.

I was tired of laying in bed feeling sick. I couldn't eat and I was scared to even fall asleep even though I feel extremely tired.

After crying for a while. Chan stayed with me the whole time. Not wanting to fall asleep, I ended up doing so.

~~~~~

I woke up to the bed feeling empty. Instead of a warm body hugging me, I was left under a cold comforter. I opened my eyes and the lights were still dimmed.

Hearing the light rain hit the tent. I didn't know if it was morning or night. I didn't even know how many days I've been in here.

I turned around on my back feeling a little stiff. The soreness in my throat had seemed to go away a little. Yet my head was still pounding and I still felt a little weak.

But much better than I have been.

"Well good afternoon"

I looked over to see Rose taking Ivy's blood pressure. Giving a small wave, I rubbed my eyes looking around for Chan. Only seeing us three girls in the room.

"Don't worry, he's coming right back. I sent him to go get some food with the rest" Rose explained

I looked over at the two after hearing Ivy giggle. Ivy looked much better. She was sitting up, but still looked a little pale.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Ivy

She laid back down after Rose was finished, "better than before. Head still hurts and can barely walk. You?"

I shrugged, "Better than before too I guess"

"Then that's good" Rose said coming over to me and checking my temperature, "you both still have a fever, but it's gone down. I'd say give it a couple more days and you two will be out swimming in the ocean"

"Thank god" Ivy sighed "I feel like I've been hit by a train"

"Do you know what was wrong with us?" I asked

Rose was quiet for a moment, "it's a lot to explain. That's why we were hoping you'd wake up with the next hour or so to explain it to you girls"

Me and Ivy looked at each other confused. A lots happen these past few days. Even these past few weeks.

"Let me call Blue and let him know you two are awake. I'll let everyone get ready to come over here"
