The Survival Weapon 3rd book of The Survival Games series

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

"You miss a spot." I said to him smiling, later that day, he was painting my nails. He smiled back.

"Here, I'm all done." He said.

"Thanks."

"So, what do we do now?" He asked.

"We wait till it dries up."

"What do we do after that?" Josh asked. I looked at him, smiling.

"What do YOU want to do?" I asked him and he smiled. He lunged himself forward and kissed the side of my neck. I giggled, cupped his face in my hands and kissed him fully on the lips. We kissed for a long time, a long lovely time and then it began.

I tried to push it away, but it was too powerful. I pushed Josh away, ran to the bathroom, locked the door and suddenly I was puking my lungs out. It seemed like I would never stop puking. When I was done, I washed my mouth. If I had done it last night, I would have thought I was pregnant.

There was a bang on the door.

"Anna, can you open the door?" Josh asked through the door, I did not respond. "Anna, are you okay?"

"Go away." I said hoarsely.

"I'm not going anywhere, Anna." He said.

"Just GO, I don't want you to see me like this." I said, crying now.

"Anna___"

"Just GO." It was several minutes later until I heard the door closed.

Later that night, I was sleeping when it all hit me again, this time with more violent images.

RAHAM

He was grinning at me, his red eyes burning at me, he was holding Josh, my heart tore apart.

"No." I breathed.

"Oh yes." Raham said. "Handsome is in my hands."

"What do you want?"

"Join our side." He demanded.

"Anna, no." Josh said. "You know what will happen, think about the world, our friends, my family, your family. Don't give all of them up just for me."

"I won't." I said, promising him.

"What was that?" Raham said.

"I won't." I said.

"Okay then, let's play hard." He said. He drew out a knife and sank it into Josh's heart.

I screamed, screamed my lungs out, cried, cried so hard that I was sure that soon, I would not have any tears left.

"Anna, wake up, wake up." A voice was calling me, it sounded like Josh. I yelled and cried harder. 'No, you're dead.'

"Anna!?"

I woke up____the first thing I saw was Josh, looking at me with a lot of worries and sadness crossing his face, the second thing I saw was all of me, my PJs and my bed were all soaked wet___wih my sweats.

"Anna, do you mind telling me what's being going on?" Josh asked. I shook my head.

"I was just having a nightmare___I'm thirsty." He went and fetched me a glass of water.

"What's really going on, Anna?" Josh asked. "First, you can barely control your power, now you're sweating like crap."

"It's nothing."

"Don't say 'It's nothing.'" Josh said firmly, I looked away. "Anna, look at me." I looked at him and remembered seen the knife in his heart as he stumbled, fell and died. I was crying. "Anna, please don't___" The door opened and everyone was here.
