After YouTube Part 27: The Cure

"Are you-"

He cut me off "So your the girl who's zombie-proof?"

I grinned, "yeah I guess."

"I'm Ian." he said holding out his hand. Of course I shook it.

"I know!" I said, I was fan girling a bit.

"We'll I gotta get going!" He said smiling again. "See ya!"

I felt as if I was frozen in time. Jason's told me about Ian once, how hilarious and fun he was.

I felt so special meeting him. Right when I took a step I tripped. I tripped on a piece of paper. My first thought was to run and give it back to Ian but something caught my eye. I feel like I saw my name.

I looked at the paper more closely.

Patient Name: Elizabeth Parks

Age: 14

QUUI: DNA absorption

Most Likely Output: Immediate Death

My heart fell. In order to get my DNA , I had to die. My DNA was different, I bet just giving me some killer shot won't save the world. I had to die first, it was the only way.

And they were hiding this from me?!

I walked to my hospital room, as I opened the door I bumped into Jason, "oh hey!" he said cheerfully, but then he saw the paper in my hand. He quickly grabbed it and examined it.

"Jason!" I yelled at him trying to pull my hand out of his. "Jason Stop!"

He finally let go, "What?!"

I looked at him in the eye deeply. "What are you doing?!"

"I'm saving you! Im not losing you!"

"Jason!, You've spent years looking for a cure for everything. But now that you've got it you're just letting it all go!"

He was in tears now. "I'm not sacrificing you, anything but you."

"Jason, look around you. You've spent years trying to get here, this is what the world needs, one more person has gotta die and that's it for infections, please let me do this."

He combed his fingers through my hair. "Ok."

"Elizabeth." I heard a nurse say "It's time."

So you probably think they'd give me some drugs or something so I won't feel pain. NOPE!

First they gave me a shot...and then another....

I was almost going to faint. Now here comes all the sharp stuff and blood in the surgery.

Suddenly, people barged in. "Liz, hell no!" Taylor said. Doctors pushed him back in the exit, "think bout what your doing, uh... Don't do dis!"

He was out of the room but I could hear him yelling. Then my vision blurred, my eyes felt like lifting weights again. My eyes shut and and all I saw was black.

I opened my eyes. Why was I alive? Every part of my body was numb. And the funny part. I wasn't in a hospital bed, I was in a car.

"She's up HALLELUJAH!" Taylor said. He was driving. I scratched my head, "What happened?"

Jason looked back from his seat. "Be careful, the drugs are wearing off."

"So I did get surgery?" I was so confused why am i not dead?

"You saved me." I heard Jessica's soft voice say.

I looked beside me, Jess was there, smiling. Her regular skin color was back.

I smiled, "Why am i not dead?!" I asked

Taylor and Jason looked at each other, "They found another way." Jess said.

I looked at the ground., smiling once again. The world could now be peaceful.

"So what do we do now?" I asked, "we go back to San Francisco, and wait." Jason said.

"Hey!" I heard someone yell outside the truck.

Everyone looked outside the window, outside we're two men. Mitch and Jerome.

"Mitch! Jerome!" Jason yelled cheerfully. Taylor stopped the truck and opened the door. I was so shocked how did they escape the mob?

We were all outside, I was kinda embarrassed to be in a hospital gown.

"Where'd you come from?!" Jess yelled.

"Lots of trees. Lots of em." Mitch said.

Now there were six people in the truck. Oh well....five people....Jerome insisted to stay in the back.

A road trip back to San Francisco, I couldn't believe I survived.
