The Long Run
Yasmina POV
I managed to slowly open my eyes, my vision blurry and my ears ringing. My head felt awful and my stomach churned when suddenly, I saw Kenji's feet running past.
"Yaz, everything will be okay!" Darius's voice yelled. I tried to speak only for a weak groan to come out.
"Yaz!" Patrick yelled suddenly cradling me in his arms. He looked at me with pure worry on his face. "It's okay! Just... stay with me..."
I tried to reach out to him, to give him comfort but he put me against a tree.
"Guys!" Brooklyn yelled, her and Sammy kneeling next to Patrick, with bandages in their arms. "The quills are poisonous; we have to take them out!"
"Okay." Patrick said holding my hand tightly while Sammy and Brooklyn grabbed the quills still lodged in my torso. Patrick held my cheek and forced me to look at him. "Don't look at it, look at me..."
"On three Sammy." Brooklyn said causing my grip on Patrick's hand to tighten. "One, two, three!"
The pain in my torso intensified, and suddenly it was like my whole body was on fire as I felt the quills get removed. Patrick's worry increased as I began blinking, struggling to stay awake.
"Yaz? Yaz? YAZ!" Patrick cried, his tone pleading as everything around me went black.
Third person POV
The group now stood around Patrick, who was holding Yaz's hand while she lied unconscious, shivering and groaning, her skin had turned to an ugly green.
"Yaz..." Patrick whispered, unable to hid his tears. "I'm here..."
"Taking out the quills wasn't enough." Darius whispered turning to the others. "The poison's already in her system, she needs an antidote."
"Ha. Sure, yeah, an antidote." Kenji rambled panicked. "that'll be easy to find considering no one knew this thing existed."
"Maybe the medical tent had something?" Ben asked.
"No." Darius said shaking his head. "Kenji's right, the Scorpios was never supposed to get out."
"Dr. Wu's lab!" Brooklyn yelled causing Patrick to look up at her, wiping his tears. "There was a video, and he was attacked by the Scorpios, and they gave him this red vial..."
"Where?!" Patrick questioned grabbing Brooklyn's shoulders.
"Near the raptor pen." Brooklyn said handing him a map. He looked down at the mark before sighing and handing it back to Brooklyn.
