****EMMA'S POV****

It has been thirty minutes since we picked up Ethan from the valley in Texas. As of right now, we did not know where we were heading. Our plan was to get away as far as we could from the scene. 

All I could think of was the fact that the Chief was no longer alive. I was absolutely shocked when Ethan told us. I was so proud of him. He finally faced his fears and defeated the Chief. That was a big step towards the right direction. But he was also very hurt from the fight.

He had scars everywhere and he could barely move anything. Nicolas and I had to help him into the ship. He was constantly complaining about the pain he felt on his arms and legs every time the ship moved.

I was sitting next to Nicolas and we were just talking about how badly hurt he was. 

"What are we going to do?" Nicolas asked me while looking over Ethan who was to his right laying on a bed sleeping.

"I do not know. I wish he could've told us, we could've helped" I said back. He wouldn't be as hurt if we were there helping him.

"I don't think he wanted us to help Emma. He knew that he had to take the Chief down by himself" Nicolas said back.

"You're probably right but that does not change the fact that he din't tell us. You see where I'm coming from?" I said back.

"I understand and I agree with you on that but-" Nicolas was interrupted by Ethan's yawning.

"What's going on?' Ethan murmured.

I stood up and quickly walked towards him. He was sweating a lot. His lips were dry and his face was very pale.

"Are you feeling okay Ethan? You don't look good".

"I'm fine" he said and he tried to sit up but he let out a cry of pain.

"Stay down Ethan, you're still hurt" I quickly said while gently pushing him down.

"But I need water" he whispered in a rough voice.

"I'll get it for him" Nicolas quickly said as he stood up from his chair.

"Thank you" I whispered back to Nicolas, I then turned to Ethan and started to wipe away the sweat from his forehead with a wet cloth.

"You're really hot Ethan" I said to him.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine. Right now I must find Logan" he whispered back while his eyes closed.

"What are you talking about? He's in New York" I said back.

"I must apologize, I need to find him... I miss him" he whispered back. The sound of Nicolas' footsteps filled the ship as he quickly walked towards me with a cold water bottle on his hand.

"Here you go" he said while handing me the water. He stayed there watching me opening the bottle and giving it to Ethan.

Ethan took huge gulps of water still with his eyes closed. Then he laid again on the bed and started talking about Logan.

"If you want" I responded, "Nathaniel, Dylan, and Nancy can go look for him in New York while Nicolas and I stay here to watch over you".

"No" he quickly responded, "I wanna look for him. I want to tell him how much I miss him and how sorry I am for not supporting him".

"Ethan, you need to rest. You're not feeling well".

"But I want to see him" continued Ethan to exclaim.

"I'll tell Nathaniel to fly us to New York and once we are there, I'll let you know. Now you must go back to sleep. You need your rest" I said while trying to bring him peace.
