Numb

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

           It's too early for the sun to be out again. Yeah I know that I seem like an exact morning person. not. I go to get up thinking that my arm would heal itself like my stab wound did, and that was false. I used the muscle and in return scream out in pain gripping my shoulder. I don't understand at first until I look at the wound, I needed more then just alcohol and a bandage.

" Oh this is just wonderful!" I begin to wrap up my arm and I went to a legit drawing board. Im just as surprised as you are that the markers would let alone work.

I began to right any symptoms I was having countering any medicines I could use that wouldn't kill me. I remember my mom had to do this because I would get really back cuts as a kid and there was only one specific medication that would help it heal back to normal instead of a reverse effect of eating away at the skin.

" Shit. I can't remember!" I throw the marker to the ground and sigh out loud.

Josh moves then sits up fast looking in my direction.  " Blimey Erin! what in the devils name are you doing?" He stands and walks toward the board I've written on his eyes stare intently reading until his stare hardens.

" Erin, let me see your shoulder." he walks toward me slowly.

I quickly grip my arm which sends a shock of pain in my arm. " I can't let you see it.....you'll be horrified."

Josh rolls his eyes. " I highly doubt that. Now let me see it!"

" Alright fine!" I stop backing up, begin to unroll the bandage slowly and right as he saw it I looked down only to see that the hole from the bullet was getting deeper and my skin around it was getting eaten away.

" Bloody Hell! what happened to being able to heal yourself?"

I could ask the same question but instead I was too shocked at the fact that the wound was eating itself.....I didn't know what to do but I quickly wrapped it back up and left it that way. The pain only grew worse and I started to feel like I was getting weaker. Zayba was up and around trying to find some food, We did stay away from the corpses though. But nothing did sound good to us.

" Erin you look terrible! we need to find something fast!" Her I eyes stare intently with fear.

Weakly," No......i'm....fine...." I wince as the pain gets stronger.

" No your not Erin." Josh stares with the same look as Zayba has.

I mean I know that I don't look good. I can already guess that what they planted in me was some type of anti- Venom or something. I come back into focus after I notice a first aide box, I only surprise Josh and Zayba as I walk past them towards the box, I open it quickly searching for something that could job my memory. In which it did.

" sweetie......how many times have I told you that you have to be more careful?"

Young Erin sighs and looks up, " At least a dozen.....so this will be number thirteen."

May begins to clean a huge burn I got from my dad's motorcycle, the pain was aching all over as it took over my nerves, gritting my teeth every time she dabbed it with alcohol to let it heal because that was the only thing that would work on me. She was surprised to see that it wasn't healing properly.

" Hm. Okay wait here. I'm going to grab some Cerempyoxide."

I only nodded and winced some more. She quickly disappeared then reappeared instantly with a bottle of Cermepyoxide. She grabbed a towel and something for me to bite on.
