Freakish [Fan-fiction]

Prey (Part 2)

Please play song in honor of our fallen friend.

"Skylar? Skylar wake up!" 

The voice sounded very faint; I could barely hear it. I slowly began to open my eyes to see Zoe looking over me and shaking me gently. "W-what happened?" I groaned trying to sit up, only to feel massive pain in my head. I reached my hand up to my head to feel a washcloth placed onto my forehead. "You must have been lightheaded." Natalie told me. Diesel was standing and handed me a glass of water. I looked down to see myself laying on the bed Diesel was laying in making me feel guilty about it. 

"Thanks. You should lay back down though, you got shot." I mumbled trying to stand up as best as I could. Natalie rushed over and gently sat me down on the bed again. "You need more rest than I do." Diesel told me while he sat down next to me. I smiled again before feeling more blood run down my nose. "It's getting worse." Natalie said grabbing the tissues and handing them to me to wipe my nose. I stuffed the tissue in my nose and held it there to soak the blood up and hopefully stop the bleeding. "Can I get you anything?" Zoe asked me with a worried look on her face. I thought about it for a minute before slightly nodding. "I'm really thirsty. Can I have some water please?" I asked her. My voice sounded very scratchy and felt very sore. "Sure." Was all Zoe told me before leaving. "Be careful!" Diesel called out to her before shutting the door and standing next to it. 

"I think she's more worried than you are." Diesel told me. Natalie nodded her head in agreement as I messed with my shoelace. "She doesn't want to be left behind." Was all I could think of. "None of us do." Natalie said sitting next to me and rubbing my unharmed hand. "I'm sorry." I whispered lowering my head so I wouldn't make eye contact with them. "Why are you apologizing." Natalie asked again. I shook my head and said nothing to them. I didn't want to make even a bigger scene than I already was making. I finally looked up and gave a weak smile before answering their question. "It's nothing. I'm just still woozy from passing out." I lied.

 Diesel looked at Natalie and shrugged his shoulders. "If you say so." Diesel said. I could tell he knew I was lying, but he didn't want to start an argument with me. We heard a knock at the door and Diesel checked to see who it was. "Zoe's back." Diesel told us opening the door to reveal Zoe holding a glass of water and some extra tissues. "Thanks Zoe." I smiled standing up. Only to feel dizzy and fall back down on the bed. "You need to be more careful!" Natalie scolded me as she took the water from Zoe and helped me take a drink. Once I was finished, I blushed and glared at her. "I'm not a baby Nat, I can drink the water myself." I mumbled rubbing my head and laying down. "Sorry. I just wanted to help." Natalie told me rubbing the back of her neck. 

I smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "I know, you're doing great." I laughed. Natalie smiled before frowning and looking down. We all sat in silence for a good while, just listening to the silence of the room along with the sound of the wind from outside. "You guys, do you think the others are okay?" I asked looking at the door for Grover, Violet and Barrett. "They should have been back by now." Zoe said. As if on cue, the door was being banged on. It sounded like someone was trying to break down the door with brutally force and it was scary. Diesel grabbed his bat and walked up to the door. He opened the door wide and lifted his bat in the air, ready to swing down and kill whatever or whoever was at the door. "Diesel! Wait!" Someone shouted. The voice sounded very familiar to me. I looked up to see only Grover and Barrett. 

"You guys! You're okay!" Natalie cheered walking up to them and hugging them tightly. "Where's Violet?" I asked standing up slowly and dragging my feet over to them. "She got taken, we need to give the suit back or else John will kill her." Grover explained. "Turns out he doesn't work for the government; he actually works at the chemical plant." Barrett also told us. He held up an I.D card and showed it to us. It was just like my dad's I.D card. And the bastard himself did work at Keller Chemical. "That asshole! I'm going to kill him!" I groaned grabbing my axe and making my way to the door. "Skylar!" Natalie yelled out reaching for my arm. I turned and glared at everyone.
