I put the scroll down, I'm still holding it though, but I'm not going to tell Chris, I'm going to put this in a spot put in a room with a lock and key, and the key is destroyed, I walk the last district, and I get to Evie and Brad's house. It mostly looks like a cottage, it's beautiful. I walk up onto the stone path leading to the door, I can hear Lola barking, the birds chirping, I knock once,  knock twice, I knock three times, no answer, I get worried, I slowly open up the door, Lola jumps on me and licks my face to death, I wonder around the house, nobody, I turn into a room filled with blood and vomit, it looks like there was a struggle. I unblock my mind and I call Chris, "Chris, I think my sister is dead, I need you over here now." I  block my mind for a couple of seconds so I can hide the scroll in my coat. I do so, then I unblock my mind again. After seconds someone comes through the door,  it's not who I thought it would be, it was Brad, I yell at Brad, "WHERE'S MY SISTER!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!!!!" I bang on his chest, hitting him hard with my fists, I'm balling my eyes out, and Brad starts talking, he also has tears dripping from his face,"Liz, I'm.....I'm sorry, Evie's in the infirmary, we were talking about her markings and everything else, and she had something important to tell me, but   your sister started throwing up, it was all blood and vomit, I picked up Evie and ran as has as I could to the infirmary, and she's in critical condition, she may be on the verge of dying, that's what the doctor said." I fall into Brad's arms, we are both crying, Chris walks in, he already knows what's going on, he comes in and hugs both of us, Brad speaks again, "I came back to make sure the door to that room was closed so we wouldn't have any deaths, I didn't want Lola to get sick, and I also came back to get some supplies, the doctor is also a Canis Lupis, he asked me to bring a bag of my blood, I kept some here, don't ask me why, but he said that if I give my blood to her she'll heal faster, I, AND SHE, AND YOU, WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HER, I'M DOING WHAT THE DOCTOR COMMANDS, AND YOU CAN"T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." he growls at me, how dare he, Chris picks up and growls harder, Brad surrenders, and bares his neck. Chris speaks, "You listen here Brad, I'm not going to have you be angry at Liz for something she never said, the only one who should be angry right now is me, and I'm mad at you, so shut up, and let's high tail it up to the Infirmary, NOW!" Brad runs out the door with his supplies in hand, and motions us to come along, we run all the way to district 13.

We enter the infirmary, Chris holds my hand, he knows something bad is going to happen, I squeeze his hand really hard, It feels like I'm popping someone's head off, and I don't like the thought of it. The head nurse shows us to Evie's bed, I can't help but cry, Evie can't even speak, I know she'll die in mins, I don't even want to except the fact that she is, Brad comes over by her bed side and feeds her his blood, she spits it out, she's disgusted, I tell her why, and she drinks, but it doesn't work, I'm mortified, my sister won't live, she's going to die, she throws up again, I can't bare the sight, Chris covers my eyes with his hand, then he uncovers them when it's over, I ask Evie a question, "Evie, What were you going to tell Brad before you started throwing up?" Evie swallows hard as she can, she can't say a word, so she grabs a quill and ink plus parchment and starts writing, she finishes writing and shows t to Brad, Brad has tears running down his face, and he hugs Evie, while Evie is hugging Brad she puts down the Parchment, I can see a quarter of it, the parchent reads"

"I'M PREG" 

she shows it to us, it completely reads:

"I'M PREGNANT!"

Chris and I are baffled, we are also happy for her, but I think this happened to her because she is too young, we are at the century of  the septicemic plague, and we don't have the medicine, or the equiptment to save her, she's going to have to face she'll die, and Brad will have no mate, he will roam the earth alone forever, I can't think about it right now, I have to think about my sister. Brad steps aside, and I step in, I hold my sister's hand, I bring it up to my mouth and I kiss it, I give her my love through a speech, "Evie, I love you with all of my heart, for all of our lives we have been treated like nothing, we were called sins, Evie, if you die, I will assure you that you are not a sin, and you will go to Heaven as planned, even if I have to sacrifice my own soul to go to Hell than see yours facing the Devil, I love you Evie, and if you leave, I will have no family left, I went to your house to say my last official good bye before we left for BartGrove, but I guess this is the last for the rest of our lives, we never got to meet our real parents, but I'll make sure you see them, even if you die. I will always love you Evie, forever and always." I cried after and crashed on Evie, I cried on her chest. Chris came over and picked me up from her and hugged me, Chris started speaking to Evie, "I know I've only met you for two days, and I feel like I've known you for an eternity by your sister's thoughts, Evie, I will love you as if I were your brother in-law, I love you Evie, I'm glad you bared a child, and see the child grow in heaven, we all love you. Good bye Evelyn." We know brad has been speeking to Evie through her mind the whole time we were talking, we all kissed Evie on the forehead and hugged her, Evie mouthed that she loves us all, and she'll miss us, Evie takes one last gasp of air, and she exhales, she's.....she's dead, I scream and shout I bang on Chris's chest, "I NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN, NEVER!!"  Chris feels my pain, he lets me go, I walk over to Evie, and move my hands around her neck, unclasp the necklace, and I take it, I take the note I made last night, and I jot down somewords in the front,"Keep with Evie,even in the grave." I stick it in Evie's sleeve. I kissed her on the forehead one last time, and I stroke her face, I leave her, and hold Chris's hand, he signals to leave, we walk out the door, I look back one last time, I whisper "Goodbye Evelyn." I feel like a part of my heart just got ripped from inside, Chris and I start our new lives together.
