Meant To Be

chapter 4

I woke up to Hank coming into the trailer with coffees for everyone, making me sit up and stretch, noticing there was a blanket over me that I didn't put there.

"Sorry im late, here's some coffee, and Morgan I made sure I got your iced latte, you weirdo," Hank smirks and shakes his head before handing it to me.

"Thank you, I appreciate it," I blush and take it from him.

"Thanks Hank, we also think we found something by the way. It's called a Jinnamuru Xunte."

I take that as a sign and stand up, leaning over Monroe next to Nick to see the book.

"All right so what are we dealing with now?" Hank asks.

Monroe goes on to explain what the weren't was while we drink our coffees.

Nick's phone goes off.

"Burkhart.. are we dealing with the same thing?.. yeah. Okay, be right there," Nick hangs up.

"Okay, we're going to go and try to talk to the second victim and her sister, can you guys go to the spice shop and see Rosalie? This guy's on the loose and I want to make sure everyone's safe," Nick looks at me worried.

"Yeah of course, go, well get there, be safe,"

He smiles at me, nodding to Monroe before Hank and himself leave in a hurry.

"Well. I guess Rose is gonna have to endure me another day," I laugh and pull Monroe out of the trailer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was okay till Monroe got a call from Hank, the weren't had blinded Nick.

"Where is he? He should've been here by now.." Monroe paces, looking out the windows every 2 seconds.

"This is very nasty.. these parasitic worms have barbs that hook into the eyes, which makes them impossible to wash out.

"Are you sure you're looking in the right book?" I ask.

"Oy, god," Monroe mutters, what are we supposed to do?

"I don't know.. Im going to find something," Rosalie stands up determined, going around the shop.

Hank and Nick come rushing in, Nick seeming to be in a lot of pain.

"Oh my God, Nick!" I rush over to him, grabbing onto him, leading him to the cot in the room.

"Oh Nick, this is bad man, actually this is terrible, look, Rosalie, Morgan, and I have been working on this for awhile, and the only thing we've been able to figure out for sure is the worms have barbs thay actually hook into your eyeball," he explains.

"Monroe!" Rosalie and I yell at him, I hold onto Nick's hand, which he grips back.

"What?! I'd want to know.. I think."

"Okay, we have to keep his eyes open, the worms thrive in the dark, light slows them down," Rosalie reads out.

"Nick, we need you to open your eyes.." I kneel on my knees and put my hands on both sides of his face.

He complies, forcing his eyes open, making me gasp at how his eyes look right now, so red and dark.

"Can you see anything?" Monroe asks.

"No," Nick says, trying to look around.

Rosalie starts walking over to us, Nick turns to her, "Rosalie."

We look at him puzzled.

"I thought you couldn't see? How'd you know it was me?"

"I don't know, I just knew it was you," he looks around again.
