HAMILTON: Truth or Dare

CHAPTER 6 ~ Let's Go

BURR'S POV

"Oh my god!" Angelica squealed, running to the back room.

Eliza held her puffy hand, gritting her teeth.

"UGH!" Eliza groaned through her teeth.

"Eliza!" Alexander squealed, running over to her and hugging her close.

John and Hercules dropped Theo from the wall and ran to Eliza. John pulled out his phone and started to dial 911. Hercules lightly grabbed Eliza's hand and inspected it. Hercules turned to me.

"You took a hard hit, man." He said, glancing back down at Eliza's hand.

"I'm so sorry, I just-" I hesitated.

Eliza winced. "Y-you just didn't-" Eliza huffed. "You just didn't want to- to d-die."

I looked at the ground. It seemed silly, but I'm just gonna wait for it. I nodded, but still made no eye contact. I didn't want to seem weak. But then I realized something... I didn't have the demon. My eyes went wide.

"What? What is it?" Eliza asked as Angelica approached the scene.

"911 is on it's way." John called out.

Eliza nodded then turned back to me. I looked at my hands and feet, then back at Eliza.

"I-i don't h-have it." I exclaimed.

Eliza turned her head curiously, then her eyes went wide too and a gasp escaped Angelica's mouth.

"No fucking way-" Alexander sighed.

"Wait," Hercules interrupted. "So... it's over?"

"I don't know..." I replied, then I looked back down at Peggy's coffin.

"But we ruined her funeral." I whispered.

Eliza and Angelica looked at each other with sad faces. Angelica glanced back up at me.

"It's okay. We can always reschedule?" Angelica questioned, tears forming in her eyes.

Eliza shrugged. "We will figure it out later. Right now, we need to get to the hospital and figure what the hell is going on."

Sirens came close to the venue.

"We need Jefferson." Alexander muttered, then whipped out his phone.
