When I Close My Eyes

Sleeping Beauty

My eyes fluttered open and I automatically screamed in pain, i fully awoke with the pain being unbearable, I was breathing hard, as my head spun... I heard moans...
Infected..
I hissed..
I couldn't move..
I couldn't escape...
It seemed impossible......
I didn't want to die anymore.
I held in a scream and just let out a grunt in pain as I got to my feet, I struggled as I stumbled forward trying to live. Yet fell and stayed there.
Funny.
I was trying to die a few days ago.
Hmmph.
More like get revenge now.
The thought of revenge sparked something.
I let out a scream of pure anger and fury as I stood, my pain disappearing as my adrenaline shot. I yelled and threw a bottle at the infected as they started chasing me, I sprinted forward.. Damn my body is gonna hate me.
'Who said it didn't already?'
I chuckled at the little voice.
Definitely fucking crazy now.
I cut a few corners and lost them, I panted. I heard voices.
"Work!!!!" A feminine voice yelled in anger.
I was about to peek around. The corn but my knees buckled and I grimaced in pain as my adrenaline slowly wore off. I guess the girl heard it cause she walked over "CYNTHIA!!" She exclaimed, I panted and nodded at Flicker, I was happy to see her, but she looked happier to see me than I was her, she frowned as she crouched down pulling my arm over her shoulder and helped me to my feet "you haven't seen anyone in guessing?", she shook her head, I closed my eyes "god, why hasn't hell claimed that fucking devil's soul?!" I yelled angrily at the sky, of course there was no reply, Flicker looked at me "dang Thia! You got screwed up for real!" She said looking me up and down as she put me in a car, probably what she was so angry over, I took a deep breath of relief. She sighed looking pained as she handed me a back pack full of medical supplies...
"Amy......" I whispered feeling my eye sting as I blinked away the tears,"but I didn't see her body so.... She could be alive.." Flicker said softly... I nodded slowly "you mind changing my bandages for me?" I asked, she nodded and took them off gently, I still grimaced, she bit her bottom lip "you're not gonna like this one bit" she muttered as she got a bottle of peroxide out of the bag.... I let out an ear piercing scream as I tried to keep still, my scream continued as I dug my nails deep into leather seats in pain, I felt tears stream down my face, Flicker grimaced as she got to the last part... My face.. "How do I even do your face?" She whispered sorrow and unease lacing her pretty voice, I for frowned "you got some duck tape?" I asked quietly.. She shook her head,"well every single infected in the state is gonna hear this scream.." I tried to crack a smile at her, she gave me a crooked smile.. I put my hand over my eye as she poured the last of the peroxide on my face, right I was! She held her ears and I held mine as I let out a blood curdling scream so loud dogs all over the globe probably heard it... I heard moans and voices calling I. The distance but their words couldn't be made out, Flicker looked at me panicky "SHIT!!!" She yelled, I hissed as she wrapped my injuries quickly and roughly, we didn't have time, "Flicker!!" I heard a yell as someone rounded the corner. Only my favorite 12 year old since I joined.
Sarcasm intended if you couldn't tell.
Frankie.
Flicker gasped "Frankie! Thank god! Ya gotta help me!" She yelled in a panick as she pointed at me, kinda making my blood boil being so useless and helpless....
Frankie nodded and in an instance I had an arm around them both as they ran with me away form the infected as they started to flood the alley...

My body hurt sooooo bad.
At this point I was ready just literally just commit suicide because of the pain.
I hit the ground with a thud "Thia! We have to keep going!" I heard Flicker yell..
I stayed put I couldn't go on...
My eyes slowly closed...

-    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -

I awoke to yelling..
"WE ARENT LEAVING HER!!! SHES NOT DEAD!!!"
"SO WHAT?! ITS NOT LIKE SHES GONNA WAKE UP ANYTIME SOON IF SHE IS IN A COMA, AND YOU KNOW IT!! IF YOU WANT TO JUST DIE WITH HER!!"
"GUYS CALM DOWN!!"
I heard a punch thrown.
I sat up to see the whole group together fighting....
No one saw me.. I stood up and stumbled forward, though they were all too busy fighting.
All there yells were mixed together and I wasn't able to make any words out.
"STOP THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW BEFORE I GET MY BROKEN AND INJURED ASS TO Y'ALL AND PIN YALL UP TO THE WALL USING YOUR UNDERWEAR GIVING YOU AN ETERNAL WEGGIE!!!!!!!" I screamed in fury..
It went silent...
I snorted crossing my arms painfully.
"Oh now that I'm up no one wants to explain. Lovely" I snarled my voice laced heavily with venom.
They all looked at me lol I had grown three heads..
I hissed.
Amy raced to me and latched onto me, forcing me into a hug crying "you're alive!!" She exclaimed "you've been asleep for a month!" . I crouched down and hugged her back. "I'll explain since they're all cowards now that you're awake!" I head Flicker snap loudly making it clear that she wanted the group to hear her. I heard a few growls. "We figured you were in a coma, so they wanted to get rid of you! Because it'd be 'unneeded extra weight'" she snarled, my blood boiled and my face turned bright red with anger I tried to contain it but I couldn't "so I'm gonna try to keep this peaceful and sweet but I make no promises" I hissed "I got the shit beat out of me stalling so you guys could escape, mind you Vince is......." I trailed off I wasn't fucking telling them what he had down to me before, hell no! They tried to fucking leave me behind after I saved them! So why would they want to know?! At least I know who my real friends are in this group now. Any tapped me to see if I was okay, I snapped back to reality and let out a low growl "let's just sat he's a hell bound soul, and I nearly died... Yet when I see you all again you're trying to fucking get rid of me!!!!" I yelled my fiery Amber eyes looking through the group, if looks could tell these kids would be in some fucking trouble. They were silent... I heard a muffled yawn and a tent unzip but didn't think any of it, I looked at them all, I snarled "ya know what? You don't have to get rid of this 'unneeded weight' because is gonna fucking leave all by it's self!!!!" I yelled whirling around so fast I fell, Amy and Flicker tried to help me up but I batted their hands away and got to my feet on my own, I heard a few voices call out trying to make me stay, I looked over my shoulder "NO!!" I yelled "I'm 'unneeded weight' remember!!!" I looked back straight and stumbled slightly as I walked away, they all shut up in an instance "what's going on out here?" I heard a groggy deep voice demand, there was still silence, "Cynthia? Where you going?", I shook my head not even looking back "ask one of your ungrateful brats!" I yelled "Flicker, Amy! Quit trying to come! I'll only get ya killed!" I growled as I glanced over my shoulder but didn't stop for even a split second, Flicker cleared her voice "I guess I'll explain. Again! You cowards!!" She yelled in fury and explained everything to James, he growled "have you all forgot your places?!" He thundered "have you forgot our rules!!!", I heard their voices start to fade... I cut a corner and sat in an alley... When Amy's words registered. "You've been asleep for a month!"..... How?!..... I just fell down exhausted!.... I sat in silence staring at my feet, my wounds had healed apparently because there was only scars now, I didn't know about my about my face though.... I heard a bottle roll "Cynthia?" My name was called my James...
