Nowa keeps her eyes on Bella. Something definitely is not right about her today.
“Here, have some drink,” Mike gave a bottle of water to Bella.
Pang!
Bella pushed it away. Everybody was shocked by her actions. It caught Nowa off guard.
“What’s wrong with you? You’re acting so weird,” Nowa asked.
“I’m still sleepy. I want to get back inside,” Bella left the table and went back to the tent.
“What’s wrong with her?”, Mike asked.
“Something clearly not right,” Daniel added.
They continue to eat before going back to the tent to check on Bella. Bella is inside her blankets, covering her entire body.
“During the day? Arent’s she feels hot?”, Amber asked.
“Bella, are you okay?”, Nowa asked, pulling her blanket out.
“Leave me alone!”, Bella snarled.
Bella never snarled at anyone before.
“Why? What happened?”, Nowa asked.
“Stay away from me!”
“You know damn well that we won’t go anywhere else but here so what are you trying to hide?”, Daniel asked, feeling a bit irritated.
She was only gonna make the situation harder if she decided to act like this.
“I’m scared,” she whispered.
“Of what? You see, nothing bad happened here,” Nowa said.
“I’m thirsty. So thirsty. I don't know what's wrong with me!”
“What? Since when?”, Daniel panicked.
“Last night, I felt a bit weird about myself. I couldn't sleep well. All I could think of was, I’m so thirsty! But I didn’t take any sip of water!”
They now didn’t know what else to say. They lost Maya, so they can’t be ready to lose anyone else!
“Bella, hey, please open the blanket,” Nowa said.
Bella slowly did as she said. Her face is now drenched with tears and sweat. She’s literally so freaked out now. Nowa went to hug her, ignoring all those bad possibilities.
“It’s okay, we’ll find a way. Just don’t drink. You already know what will happen, right?”
“Yes, yes I know! I’ll try!”
Suddenly, a few military men got inside their tent. Seems like someone reported it to them. News spreads faster since they’re in the same tent. They pull Bella away from Nowa.
“Nowa, no! I don’t want to go!”, Bella said.
“Wait, wait! Where are you going to bring her?!”, Nowa asked, still holding on tight to Bella.
“To the isolation area. She can’t be here!”, they insisted.
“Isolation area? Where?”, Mike asked.
“A few meters from here. We put all the infected that haven't transformed yet in there so that we could investigate anything about them.”
“Okay, is there anything we could do about her?”
“The antidote… but it seems like it’s impossible to get it at the time being.”
They left the tent with Bella. Nowa doesn’t know what else to do about it. The antidote, how are they gonna make it? Is it too long to get it?
