Samantha's P.O.V =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I walk up the carpet stairs in my house to check on Lachlan, only to find he isn't there.
I start to think the worse and pull out my pistol, circling the house and checking every little nook and cranny and still no sign of Lachlan.
Maybe he is outside? I think to myself, stepping out of my house and into the blazing sun. The streets are pretty much empty, which is quite weird for this time of day. I start to walk towards the front gate to ask David if he has seen Lachlan, my sneakers hitting the pavement one after another in a fast paced rhythm as I round the corner.
I whistle up at David and he sits on the ledge of the wall and swings his legs over the edge. "Have you seen Lachlan?" I ask David in a worried tone.
David chuckles; "Yeah, He ran out of medical like a mad man a few hours ago, word is that he's immune."
My heart drops. Why didn't he come tell me? Was he planning on keeping this from me? Maybe the rumors ain't true. All I know is that I need to find him. "Thanks!" I say with a forced smile, taking off in a dash towards medical.
I breathe a sigh of relief when I see Lachlan sitting in the grass by a tall tree across from medical. He gives me a sad smile when he sees me and I walk over to him, sitting in the green grass next to him. "How are you?" I ask in a soothing tone, grabbing his hand and stroking it with my thumb.
Lachlan sighs as he turns his head to me, looking me in the eyes he says what I already know; "Immune." I break eye contact and look at the bright blue sky with a little amount of white fluffy clouds.
"Samantha I don't like it.. I'm the only one who can live when bitten, everyone else gets a tragic death, but somehow, someway, I get to live. I don't deserve it. Knowing you and this baby can.. Die at any minute breaks my heart, I don't want to be Immune Sam. I don't want this!" Lachlan says in a serious ton, his voice breaking up a little bit at the end.
My eyes get cloudy as I get where he is coming from. He feels guilty. "Lachlan baby, no matter what you're still the same person in my eyes, no matter how Immune you are, this baby is a start of something new, Falls Creek is a start of something new! We don't have to worry about being Immune or not, you're still you! Even if I die-" Lachlan cuts me off; "Don't say that.. You won't die.. I won't let it happen." I nod and continue. "I said If I die, you will still be around for this baby, for our baby" I say stroking my tummy.
A comfortable silence falls over us and I lean on his shoulder; "I love you Lachlan" He smiles and kisses me on the lips. Its a slow passionate kiss, like we're the only people in this world.
