Tainted

Chapter 6

Adriannes pov
Without thinking, i grabbed germaine and rhea's hands, and started running. Whatever that thing was, it had picked up speed and was running towards us.

"Shit shit SHIT WHAT DO WE DO!!" Rhea screamed practially in my ear. Her eyes were widened in fear. I didnt reply, because honestly, i had no idea.

We ran for what seemed like an eternity but was only a few minutes. We sat down, my throat burning and i was sure that i had twisted my ankle.
"Is it gone?" Germaine puffed. I looked back to where we had run from.
"I-i think so. How are you holding up rhea?"

"I usually do long distance running so im not too bad" she puffed.

We sat in silence to catch our breath and jumped out of you skins when something pounced on Rhea.

"YOUSEF YOU BASTARD WHAT THE HELL GET OFF ME!" Rhea scream/cried. Yousef was puffing and looked exhausted.
"Ive-been-chasing-you-for-hours" he choked out.
"And-i-know-where the others are!" This was massive news! We had to find them. Were they even still alive?

20 minutes before...
(Caitlin's POV)
I didnt know what was going on to be honest. One minute georgia was screaming at jasmine, then jasmine was screaming at georgia, then they were both crying. Stunned, I walked forward as the two friends fell into a crying, hugging, mess.
"W-we n-need to m-m-move" I stuttered, holding back tears. Bailey pulled me close and I quickly accepted his warm embrace.

Looking over his shoulder, I saw Yousef run out the front door, too tired to move in any significant way, all i could do was reach out my arm and quietly call his name.
He ran off!! How could he?! At a time like this? That bastard!!...
I slowly and carefully pulled away from Bailey and moved towards the two shaking figures on the floor. Jasmine looked up, her hair clinging to her tear stained face. Wiping her eyes, she pulled georgia to her feet and stood in front of Holly's small, frail corpse.

"We need to bury her." Georgia's shakey voice resonated around the seemingly empty room.
"Of course we will." Jasmine replied.

Looking around the room, I did a quick head count. Bailey, Sally, both phoebes, josh, matt, Genevieve, Cristos, and hol-... I stopped myself quickly and let the tears flow. I couldent take it. It was all too much. So my exhausted brain didn't hesitate in sending me to a place where everything was ok...

Jacinta's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and immediately my heart began to race.
What? Where am I?
Questions flooded my brain. The most recent thing I could remember was staying home from school, and falling asleep in the late afternoon..
As my eyes began to focus, I found myself on a bed in a room. Not my room, a room. Startled, I jumped off the bed and ran out the door, only to be greeted by a long hallway of rooms.

I eenie meenie miney moed which direction to run in and dicided on going right. I quickly walked down the hallway, looking at my feet. Big mistake.
I ran into something strong and broad, and looked up to see my father, smiling down at me.

"DAD! Oh my god where are we, what's going on, where's mum, where's our house what on eart-"
I was cut short by my dad enveloping me in a tight hug, almost squeezing me to death, before he finally spoke.

"Ok, first things first, your mum is fine, were in a quarantine centre, we were moved here because a virus has broken out and swept the country. You passed out on your bed and didn't wake up when we moved you so we just put you on your bed. Your clothes are under your bed."
My head span as I took in all of the information I had just been given. My dad grabbed my hand, and without a word, led me down a flight of stairs.
