Against the odds . Five Hargreeves fanfic

Chapter thirteen

"You're saying Five Hargreeves was taking care of you?" His eyes widened in surprise "I think so?...." "Oh my gosh finally some drama in this family, I was getting really bored!" He got up and grabbed a cigarette lighting it up and smoking it.

Time skip to night time....

I was in Fives room studying because apparently I'm not smart enough for Reginald when Allison knocked on the door "hey you busy right now?" She asked with a smile on her face "no I was just reading" I got up from the floor "ok so do you maybe want to watch a movie with Viktor, Five and me?" She asked "sure let me change into pijamas and I'll be right there" I smiled at her "of course see you downstairs" she said smiling and closing the door, since I had already showered I just grabbed sweatpants and a white short tank top and put my hair out of the bun I had on.

I walked downstairs and sat beside Allison who shared a blanket with me.

We were halfway through the movie, the room filled with everyone's usual banter and the occasional laugh. I was trying to focus, but something felt off. A heavy, sick feeling started creeping up on me, spreading from my chest to my legs like I was sinking into quicksand. My head began to spin, the sounds of the movie and the others—Five, Allison, and Viktor—fading out like they were miles away.

It hit me hard, all at once. That same sick feeling from before, only worse. My stomach twisted, and the room started to blur. Something was wrong, really wrong. There was this weird, almost suffocating energy in the air, pressing down on me. It wasn't just me who noticed; I could see Allison and Viktor exchanging glances, like they felt it too.

"Not again," I muttered, trying to stay upright, but my body wasn't cooperating. My legs gave out, and I started to slide off the sofa.

"Hey, what the hell?!" Five was suddenly in my face, his usual snark replaced with something that might've been concern. He reached out and caught me just as I was about to hit the floor, his grip firm but careful.

"Evangeline, stay with us," Allison said, already at my side, her voice tight with worry. Viktor was standing there, looking freaked out.

That weird energy was getting stronger, making it hard to breathe. My head felt like it was about to explode, and I could barely keep my eyes open. I wasn't sure what was worse—the nausea or the fact that I could feel that thing, whatever it was, getting closer.

Five, of all people, was the one trying to keep me upright. He propped me up, his arm around my shoulders, way more careful than I ever thought he could be. "Seriously, Evangeline, don't check out on us now," he muttered, his voice sounding more nervous than I'd ever heard it.

FIVES POV:

I was halfway paying attention to the movie when I noticed Evangeline going pale. The last time this happened, it wasn't exactly a fun time, so when she started swaying, I knew it was bad news.

"Hey, what the hell?!" I was out of my seat before I even realized it, catching her just in time. She looked like she was about to pass out, and honestly, it freaked me out more than I wanted to admit.

Allison was already on it, trying to talk to her, but I could tell it wasn't working. That weird, creepy energy in the room was back, thicker than before, and I could tell everyone felt it. Viktor was practically frozen in place, his eyes wide like he was seeing a ghost.

I adjusted my grip, trying to keep Evangeline upright. "Seriously, Evangeline, don't check out on us now," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. I wasn't about to admit it, but seeing her like this was really messing with me. She needed to stay with us, and I was going to make damn sure she did.
